Hey JoeMD666, thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to leave a review for Lyrcs! ❤️ If there’s anything you need to make Lyrcs work better for you, don’t hesitate to reach out on the website at https://lyrcs.app. Especially if you encounter a cheeky crash, I’m trying to eliminate all those 😅
The good, the bad and the ugly.
No other good features to mention.
Price is truly shocking to upgrade.

Hey Maax555, thanks for taking the time to review. I’m sorry you don’t find the other features of Lyrcs useful to you, they were in fact highly requested by other users who have adored them! These include rhyme highlighting, near rhymes, annotations, metadata and instant rhymes. I’m always open to feedback for ways to improve the app so feel free to contact me via https://lyrcs.app. As for the price, it’s the cost of a single coffee a month, a very small price to pay to a developer who is willing to listen to their users to make Lyrcs the best it can be for their workflow. ❤️
Great Start…

Hey 28dkwoo! Thanks so much for your feedback, you'll be happy to know I took it very seriously and all these changes are visible in version 3.7.0. 1) The rhyme list has been moved to the right side of the screen. Rhymes can now also appear in real-time. 2) Rhymes can be grouped by the section they're in instead of grouped by the whole file. Not sure if that's exactly what you wanted but it's included anyway. You can always force a highlighted rhyme by having the words be the last in a line. 4) Looser interpretation of rhymes can be achieved through the Near Rhyme feature. In the bottom right of the editor you'll see a button that allows you create them i.e. aim and games. Thanks again for your feedback, it's helped shape Lyrcs into an even better app. If you think it's now worthy of 5 stars please consider a re-review, otherwise don't hesitate to reach out through the website (https://lyrcs.app) to let me know how Lyrcs can help you achieve your needs.

It uses plain text files, which is amazing, because they're easy to backup and I'm not locked in at all.
On top of it all, the developer is extremely responsive. It's the app I would make, but now I don't have to!

Hey Collin, thank you so much for your review and for reaching out to provide many amazing suggestions. Lyrics has a lot of new features today thanks to your requests! All the best in your lyric writing journey.
A Real Mac App for Writing Lyrics
The only thing I would like to see added is a way to annotate sections and chords that gets ignored for the syllable counting and rhyming.
Looking forward to Verison 3
The rhyme helper isn't very effective yet but I don't plan to use it too much so I don't mind. Another thing I do to help graph rhyme schemes is use superscript numbers to signal where a line ends on the bar-line. Ex: '¹' '²' '³' '⁴' .ect
I just put those in the rhyme search area to easily copy and paste them.
The syllables being on left side is a bit unintuitive to me, I would expect that to be the bar number and I would expect the syllable count to be on the right. I imagine thats something others also felt.
I've proposed the idea to others (really anyone who I believe may take the idea) of a multi syllable rhyme dictionary which would be super useful and would be unique. You could have a community build a multi syllable rhyme dictionary by having people submitting suggestions and their own rhymes (ofc monitoring them). As a paid add-on thats a great idea and the only one of it's kind. There are others working on book multi-syllable rhyming dictionaries but they are doing it completely alone and are very small in size at the moment.
Anyways, I gave the app a 5 star review because I want it to have a chance to improve.

Hey Swim'n Bird, Thank you for the descriptive review! You've mentioned so many good ideas 😍 I will look into all of them. Some of them I'd love a bit more information on so if you had the time, you could reach out through the contact form at https://lyrcs.app#contact and I can pick your brain 😅Hopefully we can talk soon!
Feature Request: Rhyme Identification
2) Option: User defined rhyme proximity detection e.g. if a rhyming word appears within the next N=2 lines the rhyme is marked, otherwise the rhyme is ignored until there's another two rhymes that match the critera
Response from developer
Thanks for taking the time to review and provide those feature requests OpenedEyes 🙏Those are excellent suggestions!1) I will look into this. In the meantime if you have a word that you would like rhymed, a workaround would be to have that word be at the end of the line. 2) I can see how this would be useful when you only want rhymes to be grouped by sections like a verse. I have added rhyme grouping by sections in version 3.7.0. All the best in the lyric writing journey ✨
I need to learn to match syllables to music
Response from developer
Hey MacToirneach, thank you for your review. The colors show rhymes between words and the number on the left are the total syllables for that line. You can also highlight some text and open up the context menu to see the total syllables for the highlighted range. This app isn’t for writing musical notes so apologies if it came across that way. If you had any more question please feel free to reach out at https://lyrcs.app/#contact and I'd be happy to help you out. Good luck on your musical journey 🎶
Delightful, Clean, Focused App

It’s encouraging reading reviews like this to know Lyrcs is on the right path of being a simple app to write lyrics and poetry. There are some new features upcoming but if there is something you find is lacking I’m very receptive to hearing and improving Lyrcs (you can reach out on the contact us page on https://lyrcs.app). Good luck in your poetry journey! 💪
