### 4/5 — This app is absolutely brilliant BUT…

*2024-03-17*

I’ve been using this app for a few weeks trying to write a new song every day and this app does wonders but it just keeps crashing over and over sometimes when I try to change the quality of a chord and it’s quite frustrating. This is my favourite and most used app but it just needs some work done with all the crashing.

### 2/5 — Okay…..

*2021-06-25*

This is okay……. I just get bored of it it’s just adding notes and not like others it’s really not my style.

### 3/5 — Please add random songs generator

*2021-06-04*

It’d be cool to be able to generate a whole song
