  • Very good

    App is great for songwriting ideas. However it could be improved by adding a cutting tool such as scissor in splitting recorded vocals for various parts of the song. Also it could great if you add functions of copying and pasting recorded vocals to used as chorus without re-recording chorus..apart from that I can see how this is going to a great to use during my PhD program.

  • Such a great tool!

    LOVE this app! I don’t play any instruments, so this app is invaluable when it comes to making a quick demo, to then import into Logic Pro and finish from there. Literally the only thing I would add is if you could reorder the song elements in the main chord programming area. I know you can arrange the song from the lyric + structure page, but sometimes its wonderful to hear the song in order WHILE you’re doing the chord programming. It sure would save a person from going back and forth between functions so much! Either way, I was able to finish and export a song in just a few hours that had been sitting on the shelf for months. This app is now in my regular workflow! Great work!

  • I Love This

    This app lets me quickly demo any idea and turn that idea into a full fledged song whenever I want. I don’t like the minutiae that gets in the way of the energy that I have when I’m trying to be creative. The chord generator alone saves me hours of time fiddling with a keyboard or dragging midi files around. The ability to create and drag and drop different ideas into your song and have the lyrics and everything laid out like a Kanban board rules but feels weird - like it’s a hack or something haha. It allows my creativity to really just spill out super quickly and has ignited a new spark in my process, to be honest. I decided to get the paid version pretty quickly. I figure the $40 bucks a year is well worth the joy of creating :)

    Thank you so, so much for the kind words and for giving the app a try! This was all-around really encouraging and affirming to read. If you run into issues or need anything at all, please reach out any time at hello@madewithdemo.com.
  • 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!

  • Demo is scary good!

    It's a fantastic songwriting helper, the layout is pretty intuitive, and other than the fact that I can't currently afford the subscription, it's an app I would actually use regularly. If it weren't for the fact that many of my songs use some advanced chords and chord structuring, the free version would be just enough to get me into some good songwriting headspace! I love it for one more reason: the AI in the program is, from what I've seen so far, one of the most advanced and task focused versions I've yet to come across. This may be where the singularity gets its foundational start from...! With minimal prompting and input, it wrote a song for me that was eerily close to what I had running through my head - complete with full band complement, fleshed out lyrics and instrumental lead, harmonies, and solos, and the freakiest, best bit - a female sounding singer singing the whole thing with female harmonies backing her up! Completely original. I am blown away!

    First of all, thank you so much for the kind words about the app!! It really means a lot to us to read reviews like this. While we do customize the user experience to your feedback in the onboarding, we don't use AI for that. That's a real song written with the app by one of the founders, Kyle Ryan, and his (very talented) friend, Liza Anne, to show you how to use the app. But we don't use any user data or music written in the app to train AI, as everything you write with the app is owned by you and stored privately on your device or in your iCloud (if you choose). We don't have access to it. Just wanted to clarify, so you know that what's yours is yours. We're all musicians too, so this is important to us! Thanks again and please reach out any time at hello@madewithdemo.com if you need anything!
  • Simple and easy to use

    So easy to use and it’s really enjoyable, the recording quality is better than expected. The only issue I have is the timing of the song and the lyrics I wish there was some sort of countdown to the next verse that could be put in so my timing of the song would be better. Other than that amazing app! So many free samples I can use without even reaching into my pocket.

  • Great app

    I have 100’s of songs in my head and this app suits it all most perfectly! I’ve already made a killer track . I wish you guys would put in more instruments tracks in tho as it gets a bit messy when moving it to midi, but apart from that it’s the best app like this I’ve tried . Love it well done guys I can’t thank you enough especially as a singer who can’t play anything but this helps Me get all my ideas out . Thanks 🙏

  • Delayed timing when recording audio

    And there ain’t a way to adjust it
  • Extremely limited, even after paying

    Needs to allow more customizable tempo and melody, not just customizable chords. I don’t like paying for an app and then feeling imprisoned by the presets. I have a song I wrote before using this app, that I don’t have all the physical instruments to do on my own, and I know exactly how I want it to sound… but this app doesn’t let me plug in the notes I want in sheet music, or adjust without inserting a whole new chord progression when an instrument comes in and out… the rigid time structure makes singing anything on a funky beat or in anyway overlapping the time signature impossible, even though tons of popular songs do this. Not overly complicated songs either, it would be nice to be able to syncopate and sing without being interrupted by abrupt pauses… I wish there was a “sustain pedal” function that allowed a note to carry for 8:4 without the “PLANG” sound of the note being hit again in the middle of singing a longer note…. Just awful that I can’t adjust this more. Also does not appear to be a way to overlap voice recordings and other instruments like bells or harmonica or an extra piano for notes the app refuses to allow me to customize.

    We just added Custom Rhythm to v3.0 to address exactly this. To find it, open Chords > Rhythm > Custom or tap the edit pencil on any preset. You can edit the notes of any preset or build your own rhythm presets to use across projects. We also added a 'Sustain' rhythm for quicker access to holding chords across measures. We've been working on this update for a long, long time now. We really hope this helps! Anyway, please give it a try and please email me at hello@madewithdemo.com, if you run into any issues!
  • Super cool, room for amazing potential

    Love the app, happy with it.

    I hope new sound’s come though, pretty quickly, the melodies start sounding the same.

    A ton of work has gone into this app, one can see with the music key choice and layering.

    For recording, please add a mute button, there are time’s when I am layering vocal’s and want to mute the microphone, until it’s time to sing, or if I want to take a deep breath, but don’t want to record it.

    Love how everything integrates.

    Hope they add some deeper ‘beat’ sounds and heavier bass tracks because it’s such nice software, but limited in the mature sound department.

    To help prevent the sound’s blurring together and being boring, a few little tweak button’s, could make the melody part’s sound cool and richer.

    5 stars for ingenuity for this app, 4 star’s for the crashes, which have lost some great recording’s lol, but overall, love this app.

    Hope more sounds come though, to prevent everything from sounding the same.
