Great app, but could use more features

Simple, easy to use, and great for jotting down ideas on the fly. However, there are a couple key features that I think would be great to have:

- Folders that can be used to organize songs by album, project, etc.
- The ability to rearrange the order of songs by some kind of drag-and-drop function or a menu for alphabetical, date of creation, etc. As of right now your songs only populate a list in the order they’ve been most recently edited.
- The ability to add tags and filter by tags.
- The ability to clone song sections rather than copy-paste.

There’s a great foundation here and I’m hoping to see it expand with more features over time!

Hey, thanks for the great suggestions! I’ll get started on implementing some of those asap and will update my response here as they get added. UPDATE: Folders and the ability to sort the order of your songs have been added in v. 2.00, along with some additional updates. Thanks again for those suggestions!

Developer open to suggestions

I requested that lyrics and recordings be available in my iCloud to facilitate collaboration. He added this feature quickly and it works very well.

Response from developer

Thanks again for the suggestion of making the songs, lyrics, and recordings available in iCloud Drive! I’m glad to hear that it’s working well. Cheers!

just, wow

This is how i write songs now! The developer is totally wired into our process, by making it so elegant and simple.
One very small item. I'm not so young no more and those buttons are teeny tiny. Takes a few taps to get them to work but the advantages far outweigh any minor inconvenience. Brilliant f-----g concept. Bravo!! and thank you, really.

Peace

Hey, thanks for the great review! I’ll work on some options for different button sizes to help with that issue you mentioned. Cheers!

I love everything about this app: simplicity, ad-free, audio-manual, etc.

Yet, I’d like to ask for some new minor features like font size adjustments, highlight the texts or something like that. Just that and I’m more than happy with my song writing.

Thank you for creating such a good app.
I’ve bought both Rhymers and Thesaurus. ✅

Response from developer

Thanks for the great review and great suggestions! I’ll add those to the list of potential upcoming features. Cheers! UPDATE: I added text size adjustments, which you can now find in the settings of the app. :)

cool

it’s like a notes app for lyrics and you can add recordings too for each lyric and delete it if you don’t like it. nice!

Response from developer

Exactly! Glad you like it and thanks much for the review 🙏🏼

5.96 rating

I’m loving it so far and I just got this app today. But, I don’t like a few things. Here’s why I put a 5.96 star rating: 1. You have to pay for 2 or more things 2. The recordings don’t play in order 3. It keep crashing on me Anyways, yes. I hope y’all can fix these issues. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!!

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the review and that feedback. I’d definitely like to figure out why the app is crashing for you as well as why the recordings aren’t playing in order. If you get the chance, email me at thelyricsapp@gmail.com so I can get some more information about those bugs. Thanks again! UPDATE: I found the bug that was causing the crash and the recordings to play out of order and just released a new version of the app with the fix. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Smart Idea

This app is great. Its very simple. I love that you can easily save your ideas. One thing that would be cool to add is a button to play your lyric audio recordings in a sequence so you can hear how the melody works.

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the review and the great suggestion! I’ll add that to the list of ideas for upcoming features. 🤙🏼 UPDATE: Hey Ryan, I added that play button you suggested, which is now available in the latest version. Cheers!

Can’t believe it’s free!

I would happily pay a few extra bucks for a built in rhyme generator you can turn on and off like in the Rhymers Block app— this is way more simple, convenient and straightforward. (And nothing about it pushes rap, hip hop or some music genre on you) Especially the ability to switch lines around, so great! I love the green and black color scheme, it fits my Goat Surgeon brand colors for writing death metal! This is my go to for lyrics writing! EDIT: I made the suggestion and the developer heard me and implemented it. I’m excited to see how the rhyme generation turns out! I think it’s awesome they heard me and acted on it! That’s great

Response from developer

Hey, thanks a lot for the great review! I’m glad there’s a color scheme that works well with your brand. As far as a rhyme generator goes… that’s definitely a possibility for an optional feature in a future release. Thanks again!

-Ali

Response from developer

Hey Ali! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the app for the most part, but I’m sorry to hear it’s been glitching for you. I haven’t received any other reports of this yet, so it would help a lot if you would be willing to email me at thelyricsapp@gmail.com with some more details about the crashes (such as any patterns you might notice regarding when the crashes occur). I want to look into this and get it fixed asap! Thanks again.

lovely!

very helpful. simple, not shoving a plus version in my face and dev listens! only gripe (don’t wanna ruin a perfectly good 5 star score on here, those are worth a lot) is i’ve had a bug where it’s deleted my lyrics after leaving (but not closing) the tab :(

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the great review! If you’re still experiencing that bug, I’d like to get some more details from you on how it’s occurring. You can shoot me an email at thelyricsapp@gmail.com. Thanks again!
