Love!

I adore the app. Finally, a place where I can capture chords, lyrics, and recordings in one place!

I am experiencing one bug, which I’m told will be fixed in an upcoming release… playing iPhone recordings on Mac cause the Mac app to crash. (Even songs that I recorded days ago.)

Still, a 5-star app and I’m loving it… thanks!

UPDATE: Every wishlist item that I’ve submitted has been achieved! Great team! Every update has made this app even sweeter - Thank you!

Thanks for this review! Yes we expect to push a fix shortly. The app will now show a downloading icon and tapping play will force a sync if the files have not already been downloaded.

THE Songwriting Notebook

Love the app. It lets me be more productive and organized than ever. Great Lifetime pricing. And the Developer is extremely responsive. Run, don’t walk! AAA+

So great that the app is making an impact for you! We love hearing that. And we so much appreciate the input from musicians like yourself. Thank you for the emails!

Best Guitar Songwriting app

I love this app, like so freaking much. I’ve been using it for years and it’s really the only thing that has all the features I want for songwriting. A year ago I had a horrible data corruption issue and I wrote to them and they SOLVED IT. No songs lost. At the time they asked what else I wanted in the app and I told them: multiple recordings. DUDE, THEY DID IT. IT IS SO GOOD. I love this app and will continue to use it for songwriting. Maybe one day I will have a #1 hit and stand on that red carpet and talk about how great GUITAR NOTEBOOK is. IDK. Probably not. But I love yall.

Wow this made our day! Love it and thank you Sarah. It’s our dream come true that songwriters like yourself feel this way about the app and are writing more songs. So glad you love the multiple recordings feature as well. We wish you all the success in the world and a walk on that red carpet! (For those reading the thread, your songs are always safe in your iCloud account, there was a brief issue launching on older MacOS versions but this has been resolved.) More great features are in the works, as always. Stay tuned!

Looks Good But

The free version is very limited. You can only add 8 chords and record only one minute of audio. Because of this limited functionality it’s impossible to judge how useful the app is to guitarists.
