The app has a lot of shortcomings but what it does it does well and I find it indispensible Previously I had kept track of my songs in a Scrivener document which is an okay solution if you already own Scrivener but it doesn t easily allow for you to move quickly through the details of a song and in this app we have the tools to sort our songs and an imperfect but worthwhile setup for importing voice memos from iTunes or whatever you use to jot down your ideas My wish list is a mile long but at the end of the day I have to say I couldn t live without this program and it causes me minimal frustration and no harm I ll add that the rhyme dictionary is phenomenal and I can t imagine the complaints I ve read stem from anything other than misunderstanding The app is worth the asking price or better for this feature alone                     Not great but the best einexile

This would be a 5 STAR app with cloud sync As soon as it s available in this app I ll give 5 Stars This app provides all the tools a writer needs for writing lyrics and keeping track of all your songs Very very handy to use The rhyme data base could be a little bigger I m sure this app will come with better things as it s developed Thanks for a great app                 Great App but no cloud sync GuyPicks

This is the program I have been looking for to help me write my P W songs as well as solo originals Robert is great at getting back with you with your questions suggestions too Give this a try I don t think you will be disappointed in the least I know I am not                     Better than I expected Aaron59

Not affiliated with this product I discovered it yesterday So far amazing functionality Great tagging labling My favorite feature is the export by far You can keep audio and text on the projects within the app but then you can export them the app organizes everything into subfolders in finder I m really impressed App seems reliable Only issue so far is that the RHYMES TAB does not work in Mac s full screen mode                     I m Impressed Truly GuitarmanGS

This app is a superb tool for songwriters The best I ve seen yet However it doesn t accommodate capturing ideas on the fly away from my Mac That s where most of my ideas are jotted down or recorded on an audio app on my iPhone Do you have plans to create companion iPhone iPad apps with iCloud sync between the the Mac version The iPad would be a great tool for songwriting and displaying lyrics for live performances It could also play a backup track while displaying the lyrics The iPhone version would be useful for remote songwriting and as an on the go sonic sketchpad for recording song ideas If you don t develop it someone else will Only a matter of time                     My New Go To Songwriting Tool ShropshireSlasher

This app is great for documenting pre composed songs or ideas that you might have while songwriting One feature I would love to see in the future is a Music Theory tab with all of the common chord progressions to further assist in song composition Great work devs                 Nearly perfect ThatOneGuyPinky

Makes writing much more organized and all those off takes have a home in a folder with the corresponding song they go to Much easier way to browse for riffs to fit a lyric The rhyme function is very cool as well can even find a rhyme based on sylables neat                     Riffs lyrics etc all in one place Duthsa

This app is fantastic for writing lyrical ideas and making chord charts I ve tried a lot of other apps to try to write songs with and this one finally has everything that you need Basic lyric writing word processecor with song writing features like rhyme dictionaries versions and the ability to add chord references The one thing that would make this app 5 stars is if you could synch it between computers like from an iMac to a Macbook Pro and back and forth over the cloud Other than that it s great                 No cloud sync Big Doofus

I ve never found a good songwriting app to store everything I ve been writing actively for 12 years and this is the first app I ve found acceptable for managing my collection of songs I always write my songs through improv with just audio files so I will have multiple audio files of takes for a song I m writing This app lets you create a song file and store each of those audio files into that one song file Also it seems like the app itself copies the audio files so that everything is maintained within the app itself which is a plus Anyway worth 8 Easily This hasn t been updated for over a year but it works perfectly with El Capitan                     Wow Actually perfect dcarvak

I have found Songwriter s Comanion to provide all the tools I need in a very simple to use format I had been using a well known competing product for 6 over years but the recent upgrade which requires access to the cloud was a turn off Often times I write in locations where I am not connected to the cloud i e on the road in the air in the wilderness or in a hotel without paying a 14 a day internet fees Songwriter s Companion allows me to access my songs and it s rhyme dictionaries whereever I am This is important to me The ability to add chords with traditional symbols or the Nashville numbering system is allow A great package at a great price I am completely statisfied                     Everything a songwriter needs DanGriffith

Adding the ability to attach sound files to the song entries would really round this app out for me                 One more added function TBMcCormick

this is a great app just what i was lookign for a table wight al my song the dates created modifie difrent version to be able to record but i believe it could be better is great now but it could have a few more features that woul dtake it into the next level the app is great as it is it does not need to get more complicatted but i think it needs to be updated with the changes that ha e been noted to the developer since like 2 years ago                     Easies song writting app eddydecolombia

For those who have a hard time keeping lyrics organized this is an amazing app Record a demo of what you want it to sound like and the ability to record more than one for each song is great Sometimes we have different ideas for the same song and we can throw our ideas down as audio notes or simply just write out the lyrics This is exactly what I ve been looking for and have always needed Has a rhyming dictionary dictionary thesaurus and even wikipedia integrated The ability to import lyrics is also nice Importing audio and exporting audio is nothing but a drag and drop to and from the app For 5 I haven t found anything close to the usefulness of this app for this price or any price really Get it Noww lol P You ll love it                     Amazing and Definitely Recommend CyX SenZe

I m disappointed because I was expecting the rhyme dictionary to have more stuff in it For example I type in lie and three words come up There are definitely more words that rhyme with lie than that and I was expecting to see more         Not Happy About the Rhyme Dictionary xBnThrRckedThtx

Do you write lyrics Type them there s a text tab Do you write melodies or compose chord progressions Record them there s an audio tab Do you have notes or thoughts about the song that aren t lyric Type them in the notes tab Search by title or lyric fragment Use the rhyming dictionary and do it all in a super streamlined app that just lets you start creating without any learning curve Great In this era of bloated software with a trillion features this app is a delight                     Clean and straightforward Super handy Donkiltz

Very organized Allows you to keep track of melody and hook ideas for each song add notes also includes a rhyme dictionary and wikipedia everything you need Very nice for not losing song ideas Awesome                     Great App NoahKrussow

The basis of this app is simple yet genius and I ve been looking for something like it for a long time As a songwriter I have song titles lyrics rhythms riffs sound samples and many other things I ve created or written cluttered all over I have my samples created and recorded in Garageband and on my iPhone my titles and lyrics are scattered throughout Pages and the notes app on my phone and I have various other things written down in notebooks It s great to have all these tools to individually put down my ideas but that process is anything but perfect Notebooks get lost and thrown away computers get reformatted iPhones go out of date rather quickly and I ve lost much of my work because sometimes it just gets forgotten about in the busy and ever changing thing we call life This app allows me to put all of these things in one place that I can rely on I don t need a dictionary normal or rhyming and I don t have to worry about putting a piece of a song somewhere I may not find it later It s not often that I write reviews but it looks to me as if this app is severely underrated If you re a songwriter and are wondering if this app will do what you want it to do take it from me it will The maker of the app directly responded to the only negative review that was made about it You have to admit that takes some dedication It pains me to see that with the small portion of reviews that have been written that one negative review has brought the average rating of this app down That s why I m writing this review Anyway I m sorry for the lengthy review but let s sum things up in a sentence Songwriter to songwriter if you need a tool to get organized and focused this app is the answer to our wishes prayers                     The title of the app says it all Linkinparkmarshman

I really appreciate how instantly functional this app is As one who has lots of songs in various forms and drafts it gives me one place to collect not only the lyrics but notes and rough recordings so I don t lose those melodies when they appear And I like being able to sort them into labels and produce copies and alternate versions easily I wish I could have a twin app for the ipad to make it more portable I don t have problems dragging audio in and out for use in other apps I am hoping for chord notations to update soon Forgetting actual chord voicings and progressions is a problem I have with paper versions and garage band alike                 Simple enough to actually use howdoigetanickname

I ve always been a bit scattered with my creative ideas for songs and usually end up with lyrics ideas chord progressions riffs etc scattered around my studio on post it notes napkins and in the margins of the day s junk mail My system wasn t perfect but it was what I was used to So I was skeptical that a computer app would be of any use to me but decided to give it a shot Wow what a great surprise With very little effort I was organizing lyrics and ideas and actually putting them together in a coherent way that made me look at what I had in a different way Lo and behold I found myself writing a song The app is well organized so that you And your ideas will be too It is a great tool for songwriters that is easy to use and well worth the price                     Great tool for organizing moments of inspiration Randy J. Hansen

I really like this app for writing and developing songs It s straightforward and simple to use with some nice features and it works well with no glitches What I like most is the way it makes it easier to keep song lyrics and ideas organized and accessible so I don t lose them or forget about them I like being able to open the program and see a list of the songs I m working on all in one place Importing is easy It was simple and quick to import songs and song ideas that were in text files or Word docs into this app There s an export function too that I haven t used The text editor is straightforward and works great with simple control of font sizes and styles and paragraph alignment The app includes a rhyming dictionary and a regular dictionary I appreciate the way the rhyming dictionary allows you to control your search to get stronger or lighter rhymes A couple of other features are nice The song list includes a customizable label column that is useful for categorizing songs or ideas I found this helpful for tagging pieces I need to work on next The version feature is nice too for those times I want to try out some alternate lyric ideas but don t want to lose the first ones Just duplicate the lyric and the program creates a new version to play with leaving the original intact The audio recorder works fine and will come in especially handy when I ve got a melodic idea and want to quickly get it down before I forget it It s fine for recording and playing back a straightforward single track performance of a song nothing fancy but it works well Very handy and helpful application                     Nice features easy to use and works great Lizds
