It’s got everything you could need

You ever write a line and forgot how it went rhythmically? Not anymore! You can voice record each line individually.
Struggling for the next rhythm for the next line. Boom! Rhyming dictionary with a simple double tap.
I have four other writing apps (not including notes app) and I never touch them. This app alone with that record feature has turned all of those into wasted money I just keep them for the old works on them. I’ve had it about a year now, so this ain’t some “new app hype”. I got one of those pop up feedback things in the app and felt I owed it the developer and world at large to speak for this apps greatness!

D! I really love seeing reviews like this. It’s the only songwriting app I use as well, and knowing that other artists such as yourself have been using it for their songs for a whole year is really special to me. Thanks for taking the time to leave this feedback 🙏🏼 Cheers!

No recording on my lyric section.

The one thing I hoped would work doesn’t. I have a section written but when I hit record it goes on then right back off with no resulting audio recording. When will this work?

Response from developer

Hey uncle808us, I haven’t received any other reports of this issue and I’m not able to reproduce the problem you’re experiencing. If you’d like, you can contact me at thelyricsapp@gmail.com to provide more info so I can figure out why that’s happening for you. Cheers!

Pretty good, hope developer keeps improving

Cross platform use is great with iCloud: iPhone / iPad & stable on Mac with Sonoma (as an iPad app). Sync between devices is pretty fast.

"Sections" writing mode is great for song structure verse, pre-chorus, chorus, etc.
Rearranging sentences or sections by drag drop is fast.

Custom folder structure with sorting options for saving things in an orderly manner is good.

No data collected by developer is fantastic.
Intergration with OS functions for select text, cut, copy and especially OS look-up is great.

Suggested improvements:
1. Ability to export audio
2. Extend the search function to words within songs, not just song names.
3. Create an ideas library, where sentence ideas can be stored as a group, with select and use functionality. Currently have to great a fake song to dump ideas to create a song line library.
4. Improve sync across devices if possible, currently have to wait a while for audio additons or deletions to appear across devices. For example working on Mac but using iPhone as audio recorder, the availability to the Mac takes a while. Don't get me wrong it's still useable, but could be faster.
All in all, this app is a keeper.

Amazing, but one question

How can you send songs? I really want to send some to my family and friends.

Review

This app is a wonderful app I just couldn’t figure out how to add any beats to it but other than that it’s amazing

Response from developer

Hi! This app is for writing lyrics and recording melodies for the lyrics using your device’s microphone. There is not a way to add beats at this time. Perhaps that feature could be added down the line as the app evolves. Thank you for the feedback!

iCloud Sink , Recently Deleted

The app is very good it just needs iCloud sink and a recently deleted or trash bin when notes are deleted.

Response from developer

Thanks for the great review and great suggestion! The Lyrics App already does have iCloud sync, but a recently deleted folder is a great idea! I’ll be working on that soon.

Love this App

I’ve added all my songs in this app. It’s the only thing I write with now. So much better than paper. You can arrange lines, edit and add actual audio to each line if you like. It’s amazing !!!

Response from developer

Hey Alan! Thanks for the great review. It’s the only thing I write with too, and it’s always crazy hearing that I’m not the only one! Feel free to contact me at thelyricsapp@gmail.com if you ever have any troubles with the app or suggestions. Cheers!

Amazing, but one question

So how do you record melodies? Can it
Be like one of those drum pad beat maker
Button apps please?
Because I don’t know how.

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the great review! 🙏🏼 You record melodies using the record button next to your lyrics, which enables the microphone of your device. From there you can sing your melody, play it from an instrument, etc. Hope that helps! Perhaps sometime down the line a beat maker type of interface can be introduced like you suggested.

Great

Really great to keep up with music and all its just the recording you have to record each line differently but other than that it’s fine and also no adds at all😃

Response from developer

Hey! Thanks for the kind review. There are actually two writing modes. One is Line x Line and one is Sections. When writing in Sections, you can write as many lines of lyrics as you want in one section and record the melody for all of those lines at once. You can change the writing mode while writing a song or from the settings of the app.

Great app but…

I love the app a lot but I do wish the colors that I can choose from can change the background color so it won’t just be black or white. I would like the background to be different colors
