## What is Lyrcs?

Lyrcs is the single tool that empowers you to do what you do best, tell stories through music. Made for songwriters, by songwriters, on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

SYLLABLE COUNTING
Ever needed a line in verse 2 to match the syllable count in verse 1? Lyrcs counts the syllables on every line as you type, so you never count on your fingers again.

RHYME HIGHLIGHTING
Stop tracking your rhymes in your head. Lyrcs colors each rhyme the moment you type it, including internal rhymes, so you can see your whole rhyme scheme at a glance.

RHYMING DICTIONARY
No more opening a browser to hunt for the perfect rhyme. Lyrcs has a rhyming dictionary built in, and it works offline, so results appear instantly.

REAL-TIME RHYMES
As you type, rhymes appear for the word at your cursor, or for anything you select.

NEAR RHYMES
Hear two words as rhyming even when they technically do not? Teach Lyrcs your near rhymes and it highlights them together everywhere.

ANNOTATIONS
Mark sections, add chords, jot ideas, and leave comments, all without affecting your syllable counts or rhyme colors.

NOTES
Keep alternate lines, ideas, and anything else in a note attached to each song.

YOUR WORDS, ALWAYS YOURS
Every song is a plain text file that syncs across your devices with iCloud and opens in any other app. Your lyrics are never trapped in a format you cannot leave.

### 2/5 — Good app locked behind a paywall.

*2026-06-28, version 4.0.10*

Very good app. 
However, the subscription model does not suit me whatsoever and the cost surpasses the usefulness of the app.
I’d pay for a lifetime licence.

### 3/5 — This app has gotten so money hungry

*2026-06-20, version 4.0.9*

Back then it was worth nothing now they charge you but whatever

### 1/5 — Subscription Service😡

*2026-06-16, version 4.0.9*

I'm really getting sick of these app devs who dare put a app behind a Subscription, fine additional features can be locked behind a Subscription, but not the app iself, that's not on, and any app that does this, is immediately uninstalled from my iPhone 15 Pro never to be installed again.

### 1/5 — Can no longer recommend..

*2026-06-09, version 4.0.5*

This app went from something that was useful even when free to something that doesn’t even work in free mode. Essentially making all the lyrics and previous song sheets worthless to reopen and work on as every update removes free functionality and tries to force you to subscribe. The bait and switch tactics used by the developer made me uninstall and go back to old fashioned pen and paper. This is not the way to get new customers!

### 1/5 — Used to like the free version but monthly subscription for this is a nonsense

*2026-06-07, version 4.0.3*

Latest

### 1/5 — Forcing us to pay after years of being free

*2026-06-07, version 4.0.2*

I had hundreds of documents in it, and now all of a sudden I have to pay to even access basic features? Forced me out of the app, so do not download unless you’re willing to fork over $100 a year

### 2/5 — Losing Written Lyrics

*2025-06-20, version 3.9.10*

I am deleting and not utilizing this anymore, I have lost numerous full lyrics for songs even though they saved. The file is still there but completely empty. Can’t believe I pay for this

### 5/5 — So useful!

*2025-03-20, version 3.9.10*

I use this app to create children’s books and it’s been so helpful.  The syllable count and rhyming feature are great. I downloaded a lot of the other apps but prefer this on the most. It’s simple and does what you need.

### 1/5 — Greedy Notebook

*2025-01-03, version 3.9.6*

Literally No Notepad should have a subscription to write into it. 

Companies need to Stop Trying to Be Money Hungry and put out good products. Screw Them and The Pay Walls.

### 5/5 — GREAT UI

*2024-12-11, version 3.9.6*

I’ll start this off by saying what a great app and also it is very nicely put together. It is exactly what I want in a lyric tabbing app. I wish there was a one time payment option instead of a subscription but I understand the creators are being compensated for their awesome work on this app! That would be my only “suggestion”. The app Rocket Money allows for a subscription but of any price that is deemed fair to the customer. It’s usually 7 dollars a month but I felt $3 was fair with how much I was making and for what I was getting out of the app. i’ve been using rhymers block to see if I like it better but honestly I enjoy your app so much more! Either way, I love what is happening in this app and can’t wait to see how it grows more.
