Awesome helper!
This is a great app! A major boost to one’s creativity. I’ve been eyeing this app for a while and finally decided to check it out and i am pleasantly surprised by all the features and capabilities. It is very simple and yet gives you so much room to experiment. MIDI connectivity is great and the selection of in app instruments is great! It won’t necessarily compose for you but it will do most of the work and leaves you in control of your sketches. Great for composing something beyond the mundane. A cherry on top of your inspiration.

Deleting a song ?
That’ll stop ww3 from igniting
And deleting your app from half its users
And deleting your app from half its users
Response from developer
Just to be clear, we have not and will never delete any user songs! We've only removed the Russian national anthem from the 12 sample songs (now 11) that come with a new installation of YouCompose.
Full of Surprises - coremidi? Inter App Audio? Yup! Ignore low raters
Low Raters, I’ll deal with you later in the review… Starting with the cheerful and clever tutorial, this app surprised and delighted me. I’m not a trained composer but this app made me want to be one. I think the devs and creative minds behind this gem need to be recognized as a real rarity these days - quality for quality’s sake. Bravo! ———— ————- ————- To all the confused reviewers who want this to be better than Cubase and Sibelius combined # or the reviewer who’s big complaint was that this software couldnt possibly be used because there’s not a $6,000 full multisampled orchestra included - have some perspective and recognize the cost of this app in comparison. I imagine you are the kind of person who regularly gives Uber drivers 3 stars or rarely tips more than 15% at restaurants. You understand it’s not like a movie rating, right? It’s pass/fail. After a certain number of non-5-star ratings, the app starts to suffer. Just like Uber drivers. Sorry, rant over.

Very Interesting, Needs More Tools
I really love the idea of this app, but it needs better note drawing tools in piano roll midi note drawing and modification. It also needs to save the settings you make when writing original melodies. Currently, if you delete the melody, it resets the settings. It also really needs a count in when playing a melody live. In fact, I would really like to see an implementation for melody loops to go beyond a single bar.

Even better than Intermorphic’s WOTJA!!
This app clearly is impressive. What it is capable of is beyond my understanding, but I love it!! Well done team, you’ve impressed a very stubborn organist!! The fugue I generated was class-act!! Absolutely stunning. Keeps me extremely fascinated! 💯
Limitations
It’s good and all but the number of instruments for a symphony is limited
No chords oops
no chord music chamber pot

Brilliant!
It takes getting used. There is a learning curve. I understand a little about music and can read it. This app is definitely worth the money. I recommend it if you know nothing about music but want to create it. Or if you are a musician looking for ideas and inspiration. I have also found it useful for giving me ideas for the Bridge. It is a great spring board.

Great
This brilliant app has only got better and more accessible
I love this app!!
After years of trying to understand composition technique - I have a more than patient source of examples and assistance in creating my own compositions. I have copies of this app on both my iPad and iPhone. I have tried many algorithmic composition tools over the years, YouCompose beats them all! It’s much easier to understand orchestral concepts like hocketing, I can just compose an example of a rich score to illustrate the concept based on my own melodies. The same is true of creating things for smaller jazz ensembles. Thank you.
