I stopped using the app for a while and noticed recently that it says I have the free version. I have tried the verification through the app, but it hasn’t worked. ### 4/5 — Cool app might be nice for assistance *2024-05-25, version 1.3* It's cool it works good it's kinda basic. It does it's thing wish you could do a couple more things fire free. Maybe consider some preconfigured highly used progression for download as a pay feature. Maybe see if your can get it to link to Ableton to use during production as a pay feature. Wish that you cootie do more then just the tempo change like say choose a certain mood or feeling or style say like happy, sad, or somber so that it uses a key that's got that feeling associated with it, or liked the progression would be more long drawn notes for sad, with faster small strikes for happy. Or maybe so I could choose like work or study or date night and get something high energy something sustained or very peaceful respectively. Offer the 7ths and 11ths for free, make stuff like augmented or aug7th , inverted three kinds of thing that requires pay or maybe add some music theory as part of a party features. Otherwise it's not bad at all just could have more ### 5/5 — great app than helps me practicing *2024-03-11* Every day I just have Chords Gen proposing a new progressiven and I play it on my piano. this helps me to better memorize inversions without having to write them down. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Great Tool *2024-03-05, version 1.3* Great tool to help get out of a creative rut. ### 5/5 — Just pure Awesome *2024-01-31, version 1.3* It comes up with great songwriters ideas. Pro is the best way to go ### 5/5 — Stuck in the rut *2024-01-30, version 1.3* A great way to get your playing out of a rut. ### 5/5 — Excellent tool *2023-12-19, version 1.3* I’m a producer and songwriter. I work with many people and every one doesn’t know music chords this app priceless for assisting anyone who makes music. From the novice to a well seasoned professional. ### 2/5 — Great app but hangs often *2023-11-18, version 1.3* I’m using it on an IPhone 14 Pro Max with iOS 17.1, and it hangs frequently. I can usually use it for a couple of minutes but then have to kill it and restart it when it locks up. I’d give it 5 stars if not for this. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-10-27, version 1.3* This app has been very useful in helping me find my musical drive. I’m a beginner to music creation, so using this generator has really helped me understand and make songs that I enjoy. I highly recommend to any beginner who needs some kind of inspiration or tool to build on. I don’t have the premium, but the free version is very helpful. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-10-18, version 1.3* This app is perfect for people with limited knowledge of music theory and those wanting to have ready made chords exported straight to their DAW’s of choice. It made the daunting task of trying to learn the piano chord by chord much more relaxed and enjoyable. Give it a go. ### 5/5 — Great composiing tool! *2023-07-25, version 1.3* I've used this to get ideas for chord progressions that I can then make riffs and melodies from. Good to export midi into DAW and move the chords around to really make it your own! Some features are locked for pro subscriptions and I am considering getting it. Nice easy UI and good music theory behind it. ### 5/5 — Useful app *2023-07-20, version 1.3* This app works well when you’re stuck. Trying to figure out what to do next in a song. It is easy to use and produces suggestions quickly ### 5/5 — Cool app *2023-07-14, version 1.3* Nice work on this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Previously purchased full version - now forced to subscribe *2025-06-16, version 1.3* I purchased the full version of this app a while ago to support the developer and gain access to all features. Now, after reinstalling the app, there is no option to restore my purchase - only a subscription model is offered. This feels unfair to early supporters who bought the app under different terms. Please add a “Restore Purchase” button or provide a way for previous one-time buyers to regain their access without being forced into a subscription. Thank you. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2025-05-26, version 1.3* I got the premium account and none of the features were unlocked on any of my devices. ### 1/5 — terible *2023-11-23* it kinda works but not really. i apid premium but when i export the chords they dont sound the same on my DAW. also the tutorial hungs half way through and whenever i restart it it just hungs. this is anoying given i hav epaid the monthly subscription fee. please dont waste your money like i did. just take a course or something, it will be worth your time and less stress. ### 1/5 — Guess no more updates are coming *2023-08-30, version 1.3* Said an update was coming a while back . Guessing developer said heck with it and abandoned the app . ### 1/5 — Bad business model *2023-08-21, version 1.3* Why not just have a flat fee for this? Who won earth would pay a subscription for this? It doesn’t make any sense and it’s just another ridiculous subscription model that’s plaguing every single app. I can’t imagine anyone actually paying a monthly fee for this. It’s so ridiculous. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Sound stopped working *2023-06-23, version 1.3* The sound stopped working after a few minutes. Restarted my phone, the app worked again for a few mins then the sound disappeared again. Had to delete it. ### 1/5 — Dumb app, scam *2023-06-19, version 1.3* Tutorial is dumb that you can’t stop the progressions’ playing, and loads of paid subscription features… slimy scammers ### 1/5 — Advertised as multi instruments but only shows a piano *2022-10-06, version 1.3* Advertised as multi instruments but only shows a piano. ### 1/5 — Premium *2022-06-03, version 1.3* Hi, love this when it works however I am a paid premium member and it is always logged back out when you open and now when I hit restore app purchases it logs me in as a free member only , please help… have tried reboot iPad and log out free memnber then log back in _this is a big purchase to have this level of service ### 1/5 — App freezing *2022-02-15, version 1.3* This app kept freezing on my iPad and iPhone. So annoying that I deleted the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very Powerful Tool *2025-08-14, version 1.3* Gives you endless combinations and ways to use them.
