While, searching for an App to replace the dying Guitar Tool Kit, to assist with songwriting, I came across Guitar Notebook. Am I ever glad for that. The developer is top-notch, updating frequently and unbelievably wonderful to work with and reply. There are features in this App, like including recordings and even AI recognition from your notes or printed page that go beyond anything I expected. Being someone who sketches out song ideas with text and chord grids, (I’m not a huge tab guy), this app works great for my workflow. Many Thanks!Show lessDeveloper Response
Grateful for this review! It was great talking with you through our support channel and I encourage all users to reach out to us and tell us about their songwriting experience and where they would like to see us go next. Thank you!Such a time saver
Keeping the stacks of paper with my lyrics and chord sketches clean and organized has been a nightmare. Where are they all? Is this page a continuation of that one? One slip of the pen or pencil and everything becomes sloppy after an erasure. Two slips and it can become an unrecognizable mess. Guitar Notebook changes all that. Everything is digital, right there, completely ready. Want to change a lyric or a chord? Easy. Want to hear the strummed chord or individual notes ? Done. Want to import song sheets from other sources? Yes, please.
I do, however, have three suggestions: Turn the fretboard vertical, so it naturally matches the string configuration of the chord boxes. Add a way to designate the names of chords after you include them in the song. And add a rhyming generator. Roll out these changes, and Guitar Notebook becomes the indispensable app for songwriters. Period.Show lessDeveloper Response
Well said! Thank you for this great review, and your suggestions! So glad the app is making a difference in your songwriting! On the suggestions - there is a way to name the chords, but maybe you mean in the lyrics section? You can also make the fretboard vertical in portrait mode (rotating the device), but I can definitely see how it would be useful in landscape mode as well. Love the rhyming generator idea, and we are already connected to AI so that is on our list. Contact us at support@sonametro.com if you want to share more or clarify the chord naming. More good stuff is in the works. Thanks for your support!
