  • Perfect for my needs

    I’m not a working musician, but I love songwriting! This app lets me play with chords in a key, input lyrics, repeat sections of a song, record multiple tracks…all in one place. It’s soo cool. There are different rhythms for guitar/piano/bass and different beats for the drums. Any 4/4 and 3/4, and any bpm. It makes me wish I had a band to play the songs I have written! But that’s also the cool part, you can really hear your song ideas fleshed out quickly. It’s not for finished songs which is fine. If I could suggest the developers add a way to include a fade out ending or ending note that would be pretty helpful.

  • Glitching and Deleting Songs and Chord Progressions

    All my songs are missing a chord progression. I’ve written about 20 songs, and one minute I hear the chord progressions and one minute I don’t. I’m not sure why this keeps happening. This is the second time it has occurred and I’m very frustrated right now 😡 All the melodies and chord progressions missing. I bought the yearly subscription and this is what they have to show for it. Very disappointed. All my songs are no longer there. I connected them to cloud and everything, but alas, nothing to show for. Be careful, and make sure to take screenshots of the chords and remix you used for the chord progression. Sound like a lot of work? Yeah. I didn’t think I’d have to learn the hard way.

    Edit: Songs are still deleting. Developer blamed my phone for the mishaps, but my phone is always kept up to date and I have iCloud…so, I’m not sure what else excuse there is.

  • Became money hungry

    it was honestly OKAY but now they’ve added a plus feature where you have to pay an unreasonable amount for the resources that are given. it was limited before, but now you have like 4 different rhythm options and the many many others you have to pay for. you can also now only record your voice on one track. on top of all that now you can only make so many projects without having to pay. honestly super disappointing and NOT worth. if you have no musical ability than maybe but I play instruments and use this as a reinforcement. i have used this app for a year since august of 2022 and tried the free trial they had back then and it literally offered nothing new. so now they added free features to that and took them away. you don’t take away feature needed to create something unique, you make new things so that people actually want to get it. extremely lazy on your part.

    Developer Response

    Demo+ has been part of the app since launch, but we've never moved any previously free features to premium. We agree, that would be lazy and unfair. However, we have actually added the following free features since launch: guitar, bass, drums, iCloud sync, CoWrite, rhythm remix, audio editing, mid-song key and tempo changes, 4 additional rhythm options, ongoing rotation of new free presets, and a lot more. That said, if you believe you've lost access to something that was previously free, that's either a misunderstanding or a bug. Either way, we'd be happy to help. Please email me at hello@madewithdemo.com.
  • Love this app! Just one thing though…

    This app is both useful and convenient when wanting to jot down ideas on the go. I only wish that there was more options when setting time signatures. I would love it if there was a way to make a custom time signature, so that I can play in 6/8, or even 5/4.
  • Review

    Guys, this app gives you everything you could ever want in an iPhone app. Recording, lyrics, connecting them both, it’s amazing and most of all it’s generally free, so get it!!
  • Perfect!

    I can save my lyrics, record audio to sing and have music play too! Only thing is the type of music that I want is not there but has everything else. Has different genre of songs so you can sing and write whatever you want. You can also save your music and it automatically saved for you.
  • Very User Friendly

    Great way to get song ideas saved and recorded.
  • Most of the app works well

    I had a hard time finding the chords I wanted but that was mainly on me. My only issue with this app is that the metronome is completely useless. I’d start by adding a tempo button, so you can tap to the beat and have it measure the tempo from that. The metronome plays only every OTHER beat, and it makes it impossible to use, i’ve done everything I can to try and fix it but there’s no way to change how often the metronome works, it’s just wrong. Also, the metronome is playing notes which is wildly inconvenient. It should just be a click, metronomes don’t usually stray too far from one universal type, and that’s for a reason

  • Fantastic for 10 minutes but useful

    Literally you’ll get about 5 or 6 maybe around 8 midi loops if you’re into lofi house, deep house or acid house like myself. Roughly around ten minutes to 20 minutes of your time unless you purchase the monthly subscription 🙄 they offer an amazing discount however, sadly, it’s still a monthly subscription fee so I what exactly is the purpose of the discount I ask? Perhaps it’s the developers way of saying Don’t Waste Your Time Downloading “DEMO”. lol 😂
    But no seriously if there was a way I could receive some kind of rebate or what’s the word? Oh that’s right duh time is not refundable 😀 Благодарность

  • Unexpected, Comprehensive & Brilliant

    I’m a Professional Working Artist Who writes a Song a day, sometimes in my sleep lol and I can’t run to the studio to write and track. This app is Awesome for a multi genre Original Artist. The only suggestion would be to add more instruments in the genres like classical. It may just be Me, however I seem to work backwards from the song structure methodology Y’all have working. Then again I’m already on catalogs at BMI. This one is going on right Now!:). Great Tool and I will Absolutely share it with My Colleagues. Thank You for Your Time and Brilliant Work!
