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.

This is exactly what I was looking for. An easy and intuitive way to try out weird and unconventional chord progressions without having to look each one up and learn to play one by one! Giving 5 stars because I've had a lot of fun and will get a lot of use out of this app for inspiration, as I begin writing my own album. A few times it froze (when I got to about 9 sections) and I was unable to save or export as midi, but that's literally the only issue I've encountered.

What a great app! So many options. I've already created a song I am so happy with. Every setting is easily in reach and it comes with a help section if needed. You get to choose your tempo, time signature, song key, instruments, reverb and instrument playing style. Bonus, you can even export your song as a wav. or MIDI file for use with other programs. The only thing to possibly add that would make it absolutely perfect would be an option for drum fills.
