Ratings and reviews

Contains an astounding range of styles and presets and has no adverts and it's free. You can't save unless you pay but just screenshot it. You can set any key in all of the main modes and choose any chord regardless of the settings e.g. D major chord in C major (Ionian) scale. It's an amazing app and I'm tempted to buy the full version to support them.

If you're an amateur musician, you're gonna LOVE this. It's a very simple way to generate the rudiments of a song. You select your instruments (piano, bass, guitar, drums, etc.) and the basic pattern that each instrument will play, and then you just build a chord progression by adding measures of specific chords. You can build an entire song in less than a minute. Its great for creating backup / accompaniment to play or sing along with.

Paid version didn't save songs. I made several songs with app. I made sure I saved them before closing the app and they appeared in list of saved songs. App wouldn't let me open a different song from lists, so I thought restarting app might help. When I reopened app, my saved songs were gone. I wish I hadn't spent money to gain access to a feature which doesn't even work. And I lost my songs for good. Disappointing.
