I got this app with the hopes to give myself a little boost of inspiration and after having downloaded it. It wouldn’t even open! Just crashes as soon as I open it.LastReality

As of December 21st, 2019 Songwriter Pro has been updated and is working. We’d sincerely like to apologize to you for the delay in fixing the iOS13 compatibility issue. We’re a small team of 2 and while we do our best to provide you with the best experience possible, we recognize we fell short on getting this issue solved quickly. In addition to fixing the iOS13 issue we also made some further updates to improve the writing interface, keep your songs private and safe with password-protected accounts, and we also introduced landscape support. In the event you experience any further bugs, please reach out to us directly by emailing support@songwriterprofessional.com.Long gone are the old ways, and good riddance !
I spent over fifty years keeping a pencil and paper close at hand, and that’s a pain, a nuisance at best. Not to mention the untold melodies lost for lack of a simple and quick way to record them, when they should come to me. No more having to carry bits and pieces of paper around in my pockets, trying to decipher my shorthand, misspelled words written in a combination of Cursive and printing using both upper and lower case letters. If you’re any kind of writer, aspiring or not, do yourself a favor and download this app. If you never know how much it helps you, then that’s a good thing !!!Show lessDewey 65

We're very grateful to be a part of your writing process! Thank you for such an amazing review. We’re getting ready to launch some pretty big updates that we’re very excited about and we'd love if you were one of our beta testers. If you're interested, please email us at support@songwriterprofessional.com. Thanks!VERY FRUSTRATED!!!
I just bought the pro version of this app. Excited to have finally found one app that I can do my vocal recording idea while the backing instrumental is playing as well. Well I’m FRUSTRATED because I spent money on an app that I am not even able to open up to try out. I TRUSTED that this would function properly but instead it won’t even open. At ALL. I’ll click on the icon, the wallpaper screen would pop up. Then the whole app crashes. I tried it 5 times. Then un installed it. Re installed it. Same thing happened. Closed the app in the background then turned my phone completely off for 20 seconds. Phone turned back on...SAME THING! App crashes. I’m really irritated. I need someone to do SOMETHING about this. I’m not kidding.Show lessLil Craig Of 2Reel

Update (Dec 21, 2019): Songwriter Pro has been updated and is working now. We’d sincerely like to apologize to you for the delay in fixing the iOS13 compatibility issue.

In addition to fixing the iOS13 issue we also made some further updates to improve the writing interface, keep your songs private and safe with password-protected accounts, and we also introduced landscape support. (Older Response): We're very sorry to hear about this! We’ve received some emails from other customers having the same issue and we’ve determined the cause is a compatibility issue with the latest iOS (iOS 13). We’re working around the clock to get this fixed asap, and while we understand your initial experience with us might have caused some trust issues, we’d appreciate having another opportunity to show you why thousands of songwriters use this app to improve their writing process. Please email us directly so we can ensure we get this solved for you: support@songwriterprofessional.com.Sync
Wondering if I am missing if it’s possible to sync through Icloud between my ipad and iPhone so I can add when a idea occurs to me whenever. Other than that I like this app.dilogy
Almost perfect - need more "basic" Studio friendly features and it will be more useful
I use this as a starting point for a lot of my songwriting. I find it to work very well with my workflow and undistracting when writing (perfect). Some of the features in the ideas tab are nice to have, however not typically utilized by me - still well implemented.
The part where I switch off is when I want to layer multiple ideas on top of another. The app is awesome for sketching ideas and the "chunks" of a song, but when you want to begin to layer voices, instruments, etc. to get an idea of the embellishments you desire in a song, it loses its functionality. This is when I turn to another app where you can do all of these things. It would be nice to see some minor mixing/multitrack features implemented when most of the writing of your song is done and you want to enter the second phase of building.
This by no means has to be overly complicated, but it would greatly improve this app in my opinion. A lot of the apps that do have multitrack g/mixing are beginning to enter the realm of songwriting/structure building, like Trackd, and it may only be a matter of time before I make the ultimate switch away from this app if it doesn't continue to improve.
If the developers are reading this. Please...please at least just allow me to SCRUB audio takes so I don't have to listen to the full clip every time I need to hear it back!Show lessMojo7966

Hey there - thank you for taking the time to leave us such a detailed review. We really appreciate hearing more about your experience with Songwriter Pro and the specific functionality you think it's lacking in order to make it your primary songwriting tool. We'll be going to the drawing board to determine the best way to add some of the features you mentioned like multi-tracking and audio scrubbing. In the meantime, we're on the verge of releasing a pretty big update with a variety of feature updates and the ability to save all of your songs to the cloud so you can access everything on multiple devices. Please reach out to us by emailing support@songwriterprofessional.com. We'd love to get you early access to the newest app! We'd also love to discuss any other features you have in mind!Accidentally deleted song
I wrote a full song on the app accidentally deleted it and can’t bring it back. I’m super bummed please give an option to undo a mistake cuz I have lost a whole song. I thought I was changing the name instead it deleted my whole song. I love this app but I wish there was an undo button.Thetrueangel
Make ideas hiddens by default!
Please fix it to where those stupid ideas aren’t always popping up every time I wanna write. Make it hidden by default and then if we want to use it we can show them. Please please please add this.Dominooooooooooo
Total Crap. Save your money.
TERRIBLE FOR SONGWRITING! If you think you're getting an app like "Master Writer" for iPad, think again. Not even close. So off putting that you can't concentrate on your song. Cant use a external keyboard with it. I can think of more word ideas in my brain than this thing offers. Unless you're a complete idiot and can't think for yourself that you need the VERY LIMITED amount of word ideas this provides, you're better off with a simple pad and pen. This is by no means a substitute for a REAL thesaurus and rhyming dictionary if you're thinking of using this for songwriting purposes. Before you buy this, look at the pictures first and just realize THAT's ALL you're getting. Nothing more. It looks very simple because there's nothing to it. It doesn't rotate and FORCES you to use it in portrait view (which I hate) it's completely useless to me. Needless to say I just bought it and I already wish I hadn't. I can't believe this has THIS MANY 5 star ratings. Must be fake.Show lessEnergy Freak

We're very disappointed to hear that your experience with Songwriter Pro hasn't been all that positive, and while we do believe in many respects that the 'customer is always right', this review lies in deep contrast to the thousands of songs being created with Songwriter Pro every week. True, we do have some things to improve and we are constantly working on making those improvements both based on our vision for the app as well suggestions we receive from our community. For what it's worth, we're in the process of updating the UX/UI to make it more intuitive for users. Landscape mode will be included and we've also updated and refined a variety of the features that we offer (ideas, rhymes, suggestions, chords and metronome, for example). Additionally, we're getting ready to roll out our biggest update yet which will allow users to save their songs to the cloud and access them on multiple devices. So, while we're disappointed and very surprised by your review, we welcome you back when we roll out this next update for an opportunity to offer you a better experience.The best out there
Keeps all your songs and lyrics. It gives suggestions for simple song lyrics in a very simple way. Great layout that looks professional. Love it.mozzer2020
iCloud or Dropbox sync?
This app almost solves every issue I’ve had with similar songwriter apps. But will there ever be Dropbox or iCloud sync support? The fear of losing songs if I lose my phone is real!
Otherwise this’ll do just about whatever you need for keeping a songwriting notebookRiddimk
