Ratings and reviews

Wonderful tool for songwriting. My only quip is that while it is great to be able to save your ideas, on occasion, the arrangements one has set can end up being recalled incorrectly. For example, you build a song with 10 sections and each section is different, you save it but upon opening it again, the song will have the arrangement from one section applied to all 10 sections thus losing all the work you did. Basically what I am saying is that the recall factor can be unreliable at times.

Used the "plain pop" preset. Chordbot immediately came up with an awesome chord progression, so I tweaked all the instruments just right, added drums and bass, then realized "hey this sounds awfully familiar". Turns out Chordbot wrote Love is a Battlefield. Same chords in the same key. Great app, but I don't think I'll be using the presets anymore.

This is probably the most useful app for songwriting that I've ever seen on Play Store. When I'm struggling for ideas, Chordbot has exactly what I need. It gets me back in the zone, feeling creative and motivated. I love using it before bed, so that I wake up with a bunch of fresh ideas. Love it. I highly recommend it to others.
