Great idea for an app

Finally an app for jotting down musical ideas with chords that’s intuitive and easy to use! As someone with a lot of musical ideas that float in, I’ve been wanting something like this to exist and it’s cool that it does.I wish you could choose any chord from the drop down tab at any moment instead of just the ones listed.. weirdly sometimes it works and other times doesn’t. Also wish the percussion was slightly more adjustable like maybe a sequencer? and less “genre” labeled (a little corny) but alas! It’s functional as a place to jot down ideas and still pretty customizable with the meter. I like that it’s simple and not trying to be more than an app for on the fly “demo” style ideas. Looking forward to updates!

Good idea, but very flawed

Ehhh I don’t know. It’s a really good idea, but I feel like the structure of it gets in my way more than it helps. I saw it and thought it would be a great solution for working on a song I’m currently writing while I’m out and about, but many of the chords I have for it already aren’t available without yet another unnecessary and tacked-on subscription, and being restricted to the preset rhythmic patterns means that I can’t even shape those limited chords with/against the meter of the lyrics. So, that means I’m STILL splitting my songwriting notes between either multiple apps or an app and a notebook at home. I guess I could see it perhaps being better if I was building a new song from scratch, but given the way the app is and the restrictions it has; why would I want to do that? I really like the idea of the app, I just don’t think it’s very good at doing the thing it wants to do.

Extremely limited, even after paying

Needs to allow more customizable tempo and melody, not just customizable chords. I don’t like paying for an app and then feeling imprisoned by the presets. I have a song I wrote before using this app, that I don’t have all the physical instruments to do on my own, and I know exactly how I want it to sound… but this app doesn’t let me plug in the notes I want in sheet music, or adjust without inserting a whole new chord progression when an instrument comes in and out… the rigid time structure makes singing anything on a funky beat or in anyway overlapping the time signature impossible, even though tons of popular songs do this. Not overly complicated songs either, it would be nice to be able to syncopate and sing without being interrupted by abrupt pauses… I wish there was a “sustain pedal” function that allowed a note to carry for 8:4 without the “PLANG” sound of the note being hit again in the middle of singing a longer note…. Just awful that I can’t adjust this more. Also does not appear to be a way to overlap voice recordings and other instruments like bells or harmonica or an extra piano for notes the app refuses to allow me to customize.

Glitching and Deleting Songs and Chord Progressions

All my songs are missing a chord progression. I’ve written about 20 songs, and one minute I hear the chord progressions and one minute I don’t. I’m not sure why this keeps happening. This is the second time it has occurred and I’m very frustrated right now 😡 All the melodies and chord progressions missing. I bought the yearly subscription and this is what they have to show for it. Very disappointed. All my songs are no longer there. I connected them to cloud and everything, but alas, nothing to show for. Be careful, and make sure to take screenshots of the chords and remix you used for the chord progression. Sound like a lot of work? Yeah. I didn’t think I’d have to learn the hard way. Edit: Songs are still deleting. Developer blamed my phone for the mishaps, but my phone is always kept up to date and I have iCloud…so, I’m not sure what else excuse there is.

Unexpected, Comprehensive & Brilliant

I’m a Professional Working Artist Who writes a Song a day, sometimes in my sleep lol and I can’t run to the studio to write and track. This app is Awesome for a multi genre Original Artist. The only suggestion would be to add more instruments in the genres like classical. It may just be Me, however I seem to work backwards from the song structure methodology Y’all have working. Then again I’m already on catalogs at BMI. This one is going on right Now!:). Great Tool and I will Absolutely share it with My Colleagues. Thank You for Your Time and Brilliant Work!

Actually useful

The app so far has worked great, the free stuff is a bit limited but it’s great for when you’re working on the go and don’t have an instrument, it gives you great chord progressions and interesting sounds, but if you’re looking for freedom within the instruments sadly I haven’t found that (with the free version) the drum sounds all correlate with the bass and piano, and there isn’t a guitar strumming sound (again with free) however if you’re looking to get lots of chord progressions this works wonderfully and the way it separates verses is also great, keep in mind though the app isn’t 10+ years old, and is made by musicians, so everything I’ve mentioned Im sure will be adjusted, added, fixed or I just haven’t seen yet, over all this app is great and Ima keep my eye on it

This app got me creatively unstuck

I’ve been making music for years at an amateur level. I don’t play an instrument and I barely know how chords work, but I enjoy coming up with melodies and progressions, so this app was perfect for me. I was skeptical at first, but I found myself returning to it repeatedly during the first day because of how fun it is to use. I came up with a song within hours and exported it to Logic for fleshing out. Even if I had months I wouldn’t have come up with something so good. If you’re open to collaborating with technology to create art, you’re going to get a lot out of this app.

Could Be Better

I downloaded the app thinking this is a pretty cool way to write a song.. I soon realized that for some variety in the rhythms I had to pay and I couldn’t even change the chord progressions without paying.. in turn I bought the premium only to realize that the choices were still very limited and the sound I was looking for wasn’t in any of the presets.. this would be alright if the presets could be ignored and you could make your own rhythm, but you just can’t.. the idea of having the rhythm presets with the lyrics on top and a recording would be awesome for mobile songwriters like myself, but there’s just not enough rhythms, styles, nor flexibility in the app. The app right now should not have a premium because in premium you should be allowed to make changes to the music however you’d like.. If there’s an update where that’s fixed surely this is a 5 star app.

Such a great tool!

LOVE this app! I don’t play any instruments, so this app is invaluable when it comes to making a quick demo, to then import into Logic Pro and finish from there. Literally the only thing I would add is if you could reorder the song elements in the main chord programming area. I know you can arrange the song from the lyric + structure page, but sometimes its wonderful to hear the song in order WHILE you’re doing the chord programming. It sure would save a person from going back and forth between functions so much! Either way, I was able to finish and export a song in just a few hours that had been sitting on the shelf for months. This app is now in my regular workflow! Great work!

Ideas

I enjoy the app and I think it’s a really awesome way to write and create songs on a mobile platform. I’m sure you are working on adding things in the future and improve the app. I think as feedback from me as a user I would ask and say that I think you should add other sounds like guitar, cello or other instruments requested from feeback and I think you should make it where we can add more tracks if possible. I also think you should add a beat track and beat sounds choose from for the different sound progression genres to use with the instrument sounds. I do a have a few more ideas but these are the main crucial ones I think that could heavily impact and improve the experience, capability and potential of this app. I truly enjoy this app and think it is sooo cool, but I cant give it more stars personally till it adds some of these features. I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!!! I love it!
