Apple Staff Favorite May/June 2009 Beginners to advanced musicians can use this app to leave thinking behind and bring the fun back into creating music. All the chords given sound great together and ...
So happy this got updated to work on iOS11 Brightened my day Thank you and all of this devs music apps are great Yessss ScottNewton09
This app is awesome but it seems to lack support When it works it is an awesome app for songwriting One major issue that I am discovering is that it continually deletes my songs The whole point of the office so that you can quickly jot down some cord progressions for him some tunes for later and if it cannot save those simple things It s pretty much useless When I go to load an old song it does not load any of my songs even though it shows that there is a file that is saved If the developer would spend a little time working on this app and making sure that songs are saving properly I would definitely change my review to a 5 One other thing that is extremely annoying is when you close the app in return to the app it brings you back to the home screen where you have to either resume a song or start a new song They need to change that as soon as possible as well Awesome when it works but deletes my songs all the time Jrz25
Glad I bought it and it s the most useful app I ve purchased since the store opened I love it 5 Stars Definitely Very Useful DaveyYo
I highly recommend this app to my songwriting students It really facilitates the process and allows you to easily customize and alter suggestions given to your own taste Well done Demystifying songwriting DonManuel I
Love it Perfect for when I get stuck and need to find a chord or work out a quick melody idea Great App Kjwheels
I like this app but there are a few things I really wish they d change I wish the new song button would take me to the screen where you choose the key instead of the default C key screen Also I wish I could choose the chords that I wanted to use for a particular song Nothing too complicated I d just like to be able to throw in a II or a iv chord here and there Speaking of Roman numerals it would be cool if I could choose to use them instead of just the Arabic numerals Another reviewer mentioned that they wish you could select minor tonality and I agree this would be a big improvement since you miss out on altered harmony when just using the relative major key Lastly almost half the time I try to use it it won t make sound My phone is new yes the volume is up so what s going on Good not great Joereadel
Very easy to use Great app Purplehead1
Beware no minor keys Huge oversight not worth the money No minor keys No minor keys!
Love the app When I need ideas on chord progressions for new material on the go or if I need to transpose to a new key and transcribe on the fly this app is my go to Helpful with chord ideas Retrosoul
I would love for updates to continue Love this app AlexiaMishel
What a great app You have got everything at your fingertips Easy to record your music edit and play what you have already recorded What a great idea for the iPad you have your music just where you need it in your hand at your fingertips Smart Easy techies53
Helpful app to tap out some chords with the melody in my head when I m not around my instruments Needs 1 tap tempo I want to at least be able to hear the tempo before recording 2 exporting feature I want to send an audio file by SMS or email Also great feature to record through the microphone while recording chords But I have two saved files and they both use the last microphone audio file so not sure what went wrong there but excellent start nonetheless Great Start Joel Hutton
Overall very useful app but I can t export what I write I wish I could export songs Daagoodr
When I am standing in line or on the bus and get a musical idea I use this app to quickly play through the chords I think may work and this helps me change a progression or get more ideas This is easy to use and cannot image why anyone would not love this app as much as me Keep Playing Keep Learning Great Way to Learn Create WaterRabbitUSA
There are better apps for chord progression Check out Pro Chords Suggester and The Chord Monster Just okay Byte-Me
I use this for my students to understand how chord progressions work It s easier for then to hear how a song creation will sound and will add in more complicated stuff because they want the result of what they played on this app Then they are more motivated to learn the chords It deserves 5 stars if they integrate minor keys Awesome Midsummermagic1111
I love this app works great and makes me creat songs differently The only thing I do not like is I cannot save and export the songs and it is not audiobus supported The Review Thebassbuilder
It is very helpful in learning Nashville Number system with chords in each key Useful educational tool for me WMR22
I like the idea a lot but every time I try to delete a song it crashes and won t delete Also wont load and play any songs but the first test song Need some fix here Crashing Philbert Rocks
It is a good start but needs to have minor keys to be fully useful for sketching ideas Needs minor keys Rebyitzh
How can you say that it can be used by professionals when there aren t even minor keys to choose from Wasted my money No minor keys Jhtjhtjht
Great app I can lay down song ideas on the go I Like this "ladybug109"

Very useful Awesome Db12345678901
There are a lot of musical toys on the app store but this one might be most useful for letting a musician write harmonies and melodies The sounds are nice and the interface is simple I only wish I could control the balance of recorded sounds and the midi chords and or export audio via audio copy Musicians new best friend E.J. Drouillard
It s the best little app for a traveling songwriter that gets ideas at the most random times and has to stop whatever he she is doing to work at the idea My review is SSW Joshua Engler
Glad I Did Do It Bob Ruede

Song writing easier tool especially for guitarist s Awesome tool Bull45Dog
Cumbersome and quirky at best I think some of these reviews must be insider I m a Pro w ProTools studio and I make my living in music By the time you get a short idea down your inspiration will be gone There is no count off for recording the 1st metronome sound is it I resorted to leaving a bar up front That s works there are no directions or manual for the Simple Songwriter I think it s called Simple due to the fact that it s nearly impossible to do what you need to do The chord choices are decent Full diatonic chord scale with an added b7 and b3 chord in Major But it d be nice to have a 2nd page of the parallel minor chords or something extra just because those are usually the cool chords Still it s cool as is What really bothers me is after you get an idea down there is no punching in to continue the song So if you recorded a cool verse idea you have to start a new song in order to carry on Now this morning all my songs are jumbled together they all play at once Lame Cumbersome Sillymedotcom
Program works wonders coming up with chord progressions love this app Awesome Rasool Edwards
I ve been a songwriter for a while now and on non gigging trips and vacations I m often inspired to write My wife is tolerant since this is how I make my living but she hates me bringing digital recorders or Pearlcorders and my late son s beginner half size guitar to try and record what I ve hammered out to go with the lyrics I just wrote This app is a solid WOW Now I can play with melodies and chorus without disturbing anyone record the result and with the lyrics stored in Notes get home with a finished song Would I like it to do more Sure but for what I just paid I know I ve gotten a deal I m gonna be first in line if yup go with a Pro Version as well Kudos Wow b2bsinger
