### 4/5 — Very Nice, please see the comment

*2023-04-04, version 0.5.4*

The App is very intuitive and simple. I like it!

Please! Please! Add the function “‘copy and paste” for it! It’s just frustrating to need to put every single chord again and again! 
That could made this app fantastic! 

I miss also the function upturn to put drums fills or another things before the song starts and also the function to put free text above the bars!

This app could be nicer than the iReal Pro in terms of writing lead sheets!

It’s a cool App! Please mr Developer, don’t forget this project! Me and my music brothers are very excited about this app!

Don’t give up!!

### 5/5 — Excellent! So easy to use.

*2022-10-07, version 0.5.4*

This app is fantastic. It seems that every other app just shows chords above lyrics, but I wanted something with a little more musical notation, while still being simple and easy to use. This app is perfect for me. 

I’ve looked at the roadmap and I’m excited for the release of the ability to copy/paste, add text, repeat rhythms, redo/undo.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2022-05-01, version 0.5.1*

This app does exactly what it advertised. Its is a very easy and covinient way to make chord sheets. The only thing missing is a copy paste option.

### 4/5 — Fantastic start

*2022-03-23*

Simple and quick. A few additions would make this app 5 star. The most important one: copy & paste.

### 4/5 — Great but…

*2022-03-09, version 0.5.1*

This is an excellent App. I would save so much time if there was a copy/paste feature. It is also difficult to add rhythms on the first beat. This May not be an issue on larger iPad screens.

### 4/5 — Sehr gut.

*2022-03-05, version 0.5.1*

Klasse. Genau dass was ich für das iPad gesucht habe. Endlich mal ne App auch für Keyboarder .-)).
Wenn jetzt noch die Eingabe von Lyrics möglich wäre, wird aus 5 Sternen 6.

Super

Danke

### 5/5 — Allow to edit or add letters

*2021-12-27, version 0.5.1*

I really love using the app to go paperless using my ipad tablet. I suggest they need to add the option to add comments or letters where you put the chords. Other than that I recommend it to everyone one.

### 5/5 — Shortsheet lead sheet maker

*2021-12-19, version 0.5.1*

Just got this. It is simple, straightforward and it works. You can add rhythmic notation if you want to! And it transposes. Worth every cent. Nice work

### 5/5 — So far so good!

*2021-10-02, version 0.5.1*

Hey, I just downloaded the app and I’m very impressed! Exactly what I needed for easy and quick leadsheet notes!! Nice job man, I might be back when I have some suggestions for improved features or something :) love it

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2021-07-29, version 0.5.1*

This is an awesome app. I’ve been dreaming of something like this! Much quicker than inputting changes in  Band in a Box or irealpro. Incredibly intuitive!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — cannot change the key

*2023-05-23, version 0.5.4*

i want to notate key but there is no menu to do this. only C key sheet available.

### 2/5 — You CANNOT write a lead sheet with this app

*2023-08-27, version 0.5.4*

Despite what it says in the title, this app does not allow you to create a lead sheet. A lead sheet has chords & melody, and this will only allow chords and rhythm notation, not melody lines, even though there is a staff. Might be useful if you’re strumming an acoustic guitar but not really for anyone else. And I don’t know many folkie singer songwriters that are out here strumming maj7#11 chords…

### 3/5 — No Screen Rotate function available?

*2024-10-25, version 0.5.4*

Seems like very useful app except for the fact that there there doesn’t appear to be any screen rotate function available. Nothing happens when I flip my ipad and there is no option in settings. I wish I knew this before buying it. It would be nice to flip the screen to portrait mode; especially when writing a chart.

### 3/5 — Super mais …

*2023-09-22, version 0.5.4*

Cette application est vraiment très bien faite et d’une simplicité déconcertante mais :
Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas possibilité de faire un peu de traitement de texte pour ajouter qq annotations.
Dommage aussi qu’il n’y ait pas un petit éditeur de note basique pour pouvoir ajouter des petites lignes de basse ou un petit thème … 
Si l’éditeur réussit à intégrer ces 2 éléments, cette application sera complète et incontournable.

### 3/5 — Wichtige Notationen für gute Lead Sheets fehlen

*2023-07-06, version 0.5.4*

App ist übersichtlich und das Bedienkonzept gefällt mir. Grundsätzlich ist die Eingabe von Chords und Rhythmik gelungen. Aber…
- Freitext ist nicht möglich. Damit fehlt eine wichtige Möglichkeit Informationen unkompliziert abzuspeichern. Z.b. „Intro“, „Drums“, „only First time“ etc
- Tonart ist nicht festlegbar. Das irritiert beim schnellen lesen von Passagen
- Kein copy Paste oder verschieben von Sektionen. Wenn, wie im Pop, die gleichen 4 Chords später wiederkehren, müssen sie mühsam von Hand wieder eingetippt werden
- Kein Undo/Redo. Das sollte 2023 Standard sein
- keine Dynamik Zeichen
- Keine PlaceHolder Notation um wiederholende Rhythmus Pattern zu kennzeichnen

Alles in allem für den aufgerufenen Preis zu wenig.

### 3/5 — Needs an update

*2022-07-25, version 0.5.4*

I like the program but I think it needs a update to include things like a repeat sign. Emailed the developer and he did respond but have seen one to date.

### 4/5 — IMPRESCINDIBLE COPIAR Y PEGAR !,!

*2025-11-04, version 0.5.6*

Y también poder salvar en su formato fuera de la app!!!

### 4/5 — Missing features

*2025-08-15, version 0.5.6*

Some important features are missing in this App.
1 - Copy/paste a selection 
2 - We should have the % symbol to represent a measure repetition.
3 - For the measure markers, as A, B, C,we should be able to add custom ones, like INTRO, CHORUS, etc..
But what’s there works well.
I hope an update will add these features…

### 4/5 — Copiar y pegar

*2025-04-22, version 0.5.6*

La app está genial. De las mejores para escribir cifrados rápidos y útiles. Pero no tiene la función copiar y pegar. Por favor! Hay que incluirla!

### 4/5 — So cute but a few little things

*2023-08-21, version 0.5.4*

This is GREAT, I wish is also included a few other things like audio playback, ability to display key signature and also an ability to easily write in melody+ lyrics easily! Glad to have this

### 5/5 — Great for charts

*2025-04-22, version 0.5.6*

I wanted something simple to make clean chord charts for recording. I am really digging this interface, it’s just what I wanted! 

Easy to enter chords and symbols/extensions. Right now it works better for simple straight forward charts but I am working on a complex one and it’s still doing the job well. 

I also appreciate how responsive the developer is. I asked him questions and he got back to me quickly and said he is still working on new features and improvements. loving this app!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2024-06-11, version 0.5.4*

I’m a touring musician and, for making quick and dirty chord charts on the road, I’ve always use a sheet music template within ForScore and annotated on top of that.  It gets the job done but never looks very good.
I typically just travel with my iPad these days, which is great but Notation is the one thing I truly need my laptop for.  This eliminates 40% of my laptop notation needs.  If I need to, I can still use ForScore and hand write notation in my chord chart but this will still look SO much cleaner.
I’m a bassist, so I write a ton of chord charts with specific lines notated here and there for one section or another but, most of my charts are chord charts with forms and a sample bass line notated.
This is PERFECT.  Incredibly intuitive, handle codas, endings, rhythm markers, etc…. Nailed it guys!

### 5/5 — Lead sheet maker

*2024-02-05, version 0.5.4*

Finally figured out how to navigate this app! Very useful

### 5/5 — Great Software for writing quick chord charts!!

*2023-12-31, version 0.5.4*

I have been looking for some software that make quick chord charts that look professional and are easy to read…this is it!!

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2023-07-21, version 0.5.4*

This app is so handy. I use it all the time to quickly create charts for compositions, and for songs my band is learning. It’s really simple to use and one can get out a chart in a matter of minutes.  I export it to forScore, add any additional touch ups, and email out the pdf. Easy peasy. Thank you, Mr. Bernier

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2023-07-01, version 0.5.4*

This is an awesome app. I’ve been dreaming of something like this! Much quicker than inputting changes in Band in a Box or irealpro. Incredibly intuitive! Still waiting on a major update.

### 5/5 — Easy to use but…

*2023-06-23, version 0.5.4*

Easy to use, good interface but we can’t select chords like A#m, just A# or Am. It’s important because we can know how improvise when we see the chord. Can you add something to fix that?, thanks.

### 5/5 — Save

*2023-05-10, version 0.5.4*

- Requires ability to save and recall

- chord Size control

### 5/5 — Works

*2023-01-12, version 0.5.4*

Great for quick chord charts

### 5/5 — Chord Sheet Maker

*2022-10-19*

It’s very easy to use and allows me to input more than 4 chords a measure. It also allows all the extensions(#9) etc. It doesn’t have a copy and paste feature.. which would give it five stars But I must admit… Its easier to use than Notion,and allows me to quickly create charts on my IPad… there are not a lot of videos on youtube just a 39sec demo… but definitely worth the $6 Note : no audio or note entry.. just charts.. time value etc But with the time is saves me.. it’s a excellent first dive… I can’t wait to see the upgrades

(Copy and Paste is now in Beta testing Mode, so I will try the Beta…and if it’s good , I will definitely change my rating to 5**)

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for this review! Copy and Paste is currently in the making, so a next version will include it.
You might want to try the beta version, accessible from the Information panel. That’s where it will be released first.

Thanks again and have a good one,

Dave B
