The music app I’ve always wanted but could never find!

I love this app. It’s the app I’ve always wanted but never found. One problem: the Sync feature isn’t working. I’m signed in to the same account on both devices (iPhone & iPad). I even did the Restore Purchase feature. Nothing. I’m current in the yearly trial. I’d be happy to pay every penny if the sync would work. Not sure I’ll keep it based on the broken sync. Any advice?

EDIT: Ok. It finally synced and I am THRILLED! I guess it just needed a little time? Totally going to keep the yearly sub now. The apps are amazing. Thanks again!

I thought it would have scrolling

This app would be so much better if it was able to scroll songs a different speeds. I bought the app thinking it would have that feature. A little disappointing.

Works great…except

This app works great and basically works fine. I can’t turn the camera on for the perform mode. I believe I denied access to it when it first popped up. How do I reset that permission ? I tried from settings but not available! Works great on my other iPad. Two things I’d like to see is an auto scrolling function and ability to export all songs/library via airdrop at once vs individual files!

Update 2/3/2025

Just down graded to 1 star! every song in the app now has at least 10 copies! Also once it’s closed it failed to open and it returns to the iPad screen! WTH happened!
I deleted and reinstalled still not able to clear all the copies. As fast as I delete them, the come back!

At the top of the new/edit song page where the return/back (<) is, it’s now followed by 2 quotation marks! <“” I believe this is the problem causing all the multiple copies of my songs.

P.S. Don’t bother emailing help or report a bug…they don’t answer!

THE BEST APP FOR SONGWRITING

Super easy to use and great tool to keep all my songs in place, plus keeping track of where the chords fall onto the lyrics.

It’s so good I would love if you could have the following improvements that would make it PERFECT:

1- Organize the songs not just by artist but by “Albums” - currently all my songs are by ME so if we could group them by album too that’d be great.

2- I LOVE how in the Practice and Play view you can click on the chords and it plays for you. I just think you need to expand the chord options within your library and mainly fix that when too many chords are next to each other it only allows you to play the first one, the others are unplayable for some reason (I’m sure it’s in the code)

3- Same as Title and artist, there should be a coded feature to include the bpm of the song.

Keep up the great work! Thank you!
