### 1/5 — Songtive vs. Piano Companion

*2019-04-11*

So... As I was looking up chords on the Internet, I found a site that advertised a piano chord app (I had never heard of such a thing before). The app? Piano Companion. So, I quickly downloaded the app, which had other features too: a virtual piano, chord dictionary, etc. I had also seen Songtive advertised on the same website (being made by the same developer as Piano Companion), advertised as being the "improved" version of Piano Companion. Without paying much attention to Piano Companion, I downloaded Songtive. I looked at it and realized it had a feature similar to GarageBand: you can create songs and drumbeats (Piano Companion didn't have that)! I was excited, and tried it out on the bus. To my dismay, it said I needed an account (which was free to make, but needed WiFi). So, I made an account at home, and tried it out on the bus again. I was able to sign in, but I realized that the WHOLE app needed WiFi, not just the "share a song that you made" part. So, I went back to Piano Companion. I found an extensive chord dictionary, which was very helpful. Also, there's a button to show "only common chords" (there's some pretty weird ones in the dictionary). And best of all, none of it needed WiFi! I now have deleted Songtive and use Piano Companion only for all my chords. My advice: get Piano Companion, even though you can't make songs on it. It's so much better!

Garbageware

### 1/5 — 意味不明

*2019-02-20*

使い方が分からない。分かりやすくして欲しい。あと英語ではなく日本語にして欲しい。

### 3/5 — 細かく区切って欲しい

*2019-02-17*

最初は難しかったけど、日本語表記に変えたりしたら割と簡単だと思う。
  でも作曲する際に、音を指定して楽譜に書く時どうしても４分の4拍子だったら４つしか区切れなくて、細かく音を出せません。鍵盤で打つように、細かく音を区切るにはどうすれば良いですか？

### 1/5 — エ？

*2018-12-06*

ツカイカタ、ワカラナイ
ニホンゴデ、オシエテ

### 1/5 — 使い方がよくわからない

*2018-10-13*

使ってる途中で固まったり、英語表記で分かりずらい

### 1/5 — ゴミ

*2018-03-04*

使い方分からん、このアプリ自体が、意味不！

### 1/5 — Stupid-Doesn’t even work!!

*2017-11-17*

Downloaded three times and each time it didn’t even work!!!
I have and updated iPhone 6
Waste of time and data.
Very disappointed.
Not even worth a star.
It looked good, but looked is as good as it got!😡😡😡😡😡
I rate it 5 angry faces
I even had to rate it 1 star just so I could write this review!!!
Now that gives it 6😡faces.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Could you send more details about the error at support@songtive.com? What iOS version do you have?

### 1/5 — ヨメナイヨ

*2017-11-02*

英語ばっかで読めないよ！
日本語対応お願いします！

### 1/5 — Not Starting

*2017-10-26*

Tried it on my updated iPhone 7. Just shows ‘best with headphones’. Doesn’t open.

### 3/5 — Best effort in it's category, No classical music notation or 1-month subscription model

*2017-03-17*

I find this to be the best effort out there for musical composition. However Apple App Store lists a 1-month subscription offer of 99p, which is not available in the app! Also this app becomes pretty useless in a broader sense if you can't compose in a classical music notation system. Add these features and I'd gladly pay even a longer term subscription plan.

### 1/5 — Has potential, but not there yet

*2016-04-17*

This app has potential to be a very useful tool for rapidly prototyping songs by quickly arranging blocks of chords. However, the user interface is too clunky at the moment, it gets in the way and slows down the process rather than facilitating it.

### 1/5 — 🥲

*2025-04-30*

я незнаю как это описать скачала ждала оно скачалось захожу через 1 секунду выкидывает Wi-Fi хороший решила промотать недавние приложения его и там нет короче ничто не могу сказать🙇‍♀️

### 1/5 — 日本表記まじでわかりにくい

*2022-04-24*

ドレミファソラシドにも対応して欲しい。

### 1/5 — Please update

### 1/5 — Неееее

*2021-08-15*

Извините я чуть не поняла я дали стало и там ничего нет потом нажала и там ничего нет извините если что-то не договаривала

### 1/5 — Вылеты не исправляют

*2021-01-26*

А где размер 2/4? И 5/4?

И да, вылеты происходят во все моменты, но чаще всего при редактировании в секвенсоре ударных и пр.

Ps.
А воз и ныне там. Вылеты будут исправляться спустя сто лет? Выше всё описано: где и когда вылетает.

**Developer response:** Вы бы не могли хотя бы сказать в какие моменты вылеты или ошибки сервера? Это хоть как-то сузило бы круг поиска.

### 1/5 — うーん…

*2021-01-05*

久しぶりに開いたら、昔作った曲の音が鳴らなくなっていてショックでした…。所々で音は鳴るんだけど、曲になっていないというか…。
昔のデータだから(とは言っても1、2年前)、破損とかしてるのかな…？と思って新しく作ってみても、音が鳴っていません。

昔は良かったけど、今は作曲アプリ？？え？って感じで残念です(;_;)

### 1/5 — サインイン出来ない

*2020-12-11*

『Googleで参加』を押して入力してもサインイン出来なくて曲の続きが作れません。

### 1/5 — 裏でメール送信

*2020-03-15*

インストールしたら勝手にメール送ろうとしていました。メールアプリで送信直前で止まっていたので気がつきました。気をつけてください。

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Apple doesn't allow sending emails without your permission. We have the section "Send Feedback" where you could send us a suggestion about the app - is it possible that you tap it accidentally?

### 1/5 — This is not for me

*2019-07-18*

This app just doesn’t work. I don’t know what to do, and I agree with the one review that has been displayed that it doesn’t even download properly. I’m sorry to say to you that whoever uses this app next is probably going to delete the app quickly.

**Developer response:** Thanks for feedback! Do you see any errors during downloading? We would be happy to assist you: support@songtive.com

### 1/5 — App interface is extremely disorganized

*2019-05-01*

Both the log in and log out buttons don‘t work. I haven‘t created even one song yet and I haven‘t even logged in to Twitter or Facebook that is probably required to save the songs, and the app is showing me songs of some Chinese users that I don‘t even have in my contacts. The last thing I need is to loose everything I created when some Moron deletes my Facebook or Twitter Account. No, thank you.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that! You can contact us support@songtive.com and provide details what error you got.

どの作曲アプリよりもいいです！
日本語にも対応していてとても使いやすいです！！！

### 5/5 — 良き

*2017-06-09*

数ある作曲アプリの中で頭一つ抜けてる！

*2016-09-12*

案外いけますね、ノリで
それに他のやつも色々と入れてみましたけど、私的にはこれが一番です
さらに上がいいならボーカロイドなり何なり買う方が早いかと

### 5/5 — 使いやすい

*2016-02-20*

使いやすい

### 5/5 — Отличное приложение

*2015-05-18*

Хорошее и удобное приложение для создания примитивных композиций

### 4/5 — とにかく落ちる‼︎

*2017-03-30*

30秒に一回くらいの割合で落ちることがあります。
それ以外は文句なしですね。それだけに、あまりにも落ちるのが残念です…

### 4/5 — 楽しい！！！

*2016-05-03*

作曲すごくやりやすいです。
また、譜面が読めなくてもすらすら作れるので、誰でも楽しめると思います。
ただ、スタイルだけでなく、メロディも複数作れるようにしてほしいです。
また、以前はできたのですが、バージョン変わってから、作成画面で途中からの曲の再生ができなくなってしまい、少し不便なので、改善してほしいです！
