Sound is very good! I hope I can use it via IAA? Check out the Free Version it was the Prove for me to Buy it. But in my Opinion it is too Expensive 21,80€ that is a lot...but this App is Free Customize able, add your Owen Sturming Rhythem, create em! Midi Out...! That Thing Play a whole Song you have build in Single Steps...Amazing! I save one Star to give, reason why...maybe I can add a Star later when a update come, as Plug-in for Cubasis...!? Hope so! ### 3/5 — 1st review and why 3* *2020-01-21, version 1.0.5* i'm just starting the tutorials but I saw it was created by one person in his home. that is a great way to have complete design and quality content, to produce an app, especially something limitless as creating music. i admire the drive and passion, thx. will write 2nd review Feb 21. good luck & thx ### 3/5 — Abandonware? *2019-05-04* Not good that this very promising app has gone up in price since launch, yet not been updated for two years. Such a pity, as if it was brought up to date, with IAA connectivity, preferably AU3 and Ableton Live integration, it might justify the price tag of the full version. Nathan ### 3/5 — Crashes every time after opening app, why? *2016-10-24* I got new iPad Pro 4, invested $20, but now it crashes all the time and the UI is broken too, buttons doesn't work as expected. I think it's due to iOS 10, hope it gets fixed asap. Otherwise I would've increased the rating as well. ### 4/5 — I do not know😕 *2016-06-15* I have not played this game yet. But it looks like a really great guitar game. And I LOVE guitars. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-04-18* Thanks for creating such a useful guitar and songwriting app. The fretboard allows players to strum & fingerpick as if they were playing the real thing, and allows a rapid way to get ideas down with the brilliant recording & editing section. Great for new & seasoned songwriters, a truly fantastic App Cheers Nellyman :-) ### 5/5 — Paid for pro version within minutes of using! *2014-03-27* This App is so well thought out, it's simply brilliant ! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-02-12* This is a must have for people like me who want to write melodies without playing guitar. Everything is made to simplify your life and i think it's worth to buy the full version. Thank you very much! ### 5/5 — Great learning tool *2014-01-11* I'm a long time guitar teacher. One of the best things i ever did for myself was learn how drums work by programming a drum machine to play songs i knew. I'm still looking through this thing, but it looks like a great way to really learn how songs and accompaniment are put together - if i dig it over the next week, i'll even drop the $20 for the full version - it will export midi for me to drop into pro tools :) ### 5/5 — *Shayne *2013-12-25* Absolutely I Brilliant in it's Simplicity. ### 5/5 — Wonderfully simple, deceptively powerful *2013-12-18* This is the best app I've run across for creating and nurturing a guitar based song idea. Creating strum patterns, picking individual notes and selecting or building absolutely any chord you would like makes it super simple to try out different progressions and ideas. I love this app! ### 2/5 — Super *2013-11-07, version 1.0.3* Aber 18€??? Wir reden hier aber jetzt schon noch von einer iPhone App, oder? O.o Ich verstehe, dass da viel Arbeit hinter steckt, aber so viel ist _mir_ das Upgrade aus der Testversion für den vollen Umfang nicht wert. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Promising *2021-06-01* Unfortunately, it arbitrarily deletes songs. ### 1/5 — not worth it *2019-02-21* i got this to experiment with chord progressions for song writing but there’s an extremely limited selection of chords and you have to pay $20 to be able to get more??? it doesn’t make sense ### 1/5 — Trop nul *2016-11-21* Ne le télécharger pas ces nul il n'y a rien pas tous les accords à éviter absolument incomplet ### 1/5 — Seems like it could be awesome with updates *2016-09-24, version 1.0.4* But unfortunately, it seems to crash upon opening on both my iPhone 6s and iPad Air in os10. Perhaps it needs an update? ### 1/5 — not working iOS10 *2016-09-20* will there be a fix? ### 1/5 — so verdient man nicht *2016-09-19, version 1.0.4* es gibt entwicker die nicht verkaufen wollen . ### 1/5 — Ripoff!!!! *2013-05-30* I bought the FULL VERSION and then the next time I went to go use it I had to buy it again FULL PRICE because none of it would work!!!!! Scam!! Ripoff!! ### 1/5 — Not really free *2012-10-12, version 1.0* Without spending at least another $2.99, this "free" version is just a totally stripped-down, barely usable demo... ### 2/5 — Nice but not 💰THAT💰 nice.. *2020-02-04* It’s a decent app but it’s obviously amateur and to unlock any features you need to pay $20! This is a $5 app at most, not a $20 one. ### 2/5 — Not working in iOS 10 please fix? *2016-10-08* Probably great when I can open it? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just the app I need for songwriting!!! *2023-08-26* As a maker of computerized music - what I need is an instrument that I can use to play around strumming different chords till I get just what I need for my next song. And given the minimal space and paper-thin walls of my apartment, an app for the purpose is often far more convenient than having to break out a physical guitar for the purpose. This app does what I need better than anything I have ever found!!! — I notice that the app has not been updated in years. I hope that this is because the developer has an “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” attitude, which is definitely a plausible explanation given how well the app does what it is meant for. I wish, though, that there was a way that I could be _assured_ that this is the reason for a lack of updates in recent years. — This app will not teach you how to play guitar. But who cares!! There are other apps for that - and this app does not _claim_ to do that!!! This app is a chord test-board for song-writers!! That is what it claims to be for — and for that purpose it is the best I have found so far!! (And pretty good at it.) ### 5/5 — Amazeballs *2020-05-16* I am so impressed. This is one of the best purchases I have made. So fun and so easy to use to make really really good music. Buy this! ### 5/5 — The best guitar app I've found so far *2017-06-08* I hope the developer will continue to support and develop this app. It has the best selection of chords, is easiest to play, has midi out, pretty great. I would prefer that all of the features were in one screen (maybe tabs instead of entering and exit gin screens), but so far, that's a small complaint for the quality provided. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-08-24* Great app for song writing on the go. I was looking for a simple app that would let me mess with chords etc and this is what I use now. 10/10 would recommend to anyone:) ### 5/5 — Audiobus support *2016-06-18* to make great ### 5/5 — App review *2015-12-08* This app is great. Before I used it I didnt even know how to play guitar or what a chord was. Now however I am playing sold out rocknroll shows all over th world ! Fender is doing a signature model guitar for me and I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams. Buy this app ### 5/5 — Best thing ever *2015-08-31* I love how it's easy to record and how many song I can write it just a truly amazing experience. ### 5/5 — awesome app！ *2015-02-16, version 1.0.4* It's awesome and well designed，very useful for guitarists who want to create their own songs. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2015-02-11, version 1.0.4* This thing is the greatest! ### 5/5 — Useful *2014-11-12* It is useful. To be honest it still was a little confusing at first even after watching the tutorial but that cause i wasnt paying full attention. Awesome app though. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
