Who can pay that for that. And why a subscription ? I hate subscription, and here it has no justification for that. **Developer response:** Hi EugèneJérôme, thank you for taking the time to leave a review with kind words around how good the idea of Lyrcs is; it's taken many years of hard work to get to where it is today 🥹 I hear your concern around the choice for the subscription model for Lyrcs and I hope the following addresses some of it. Given you're in France a yearly subscription would cost you 5 euro a month, an equivalent to a good coffee. That 5 euro goes towards building new features, fixing bugs and responding to customer support. It's understandable to think that once Lyrcs is built, no more development is needed but unfortunately this isn't the case. For example, with every major macOS or iOS update, something in Lyrcs has broken (just recently iOS 18.1 removed the ability to edit files). Developers like myself need to continually invest our time and money into fixing these things, otherwise you're left with a broken app and noone wins. I hope this does provide some justification for the subscription but I am always happy to hear feedback. If you'd like to discuss further, please don't hesitate to contact me on the website: https://lyrcs.app/#contact I would be even happy to provide an extended trial of PRO if you wanted more time to evaluate the PRO features. All the best my friend 🙏 ### 3/5 — Not working on iPad Mini after updated. *2024-10-16, version 3.9.3* Can’t get the app to open any of my txt files on my iPad Mini after iOS update. ### 4/5 — Great Start… *2024-05-30, version 3.5.3* Hey, really like where you are going with this. Love the syllable count along left margin, and the way you don’t highlight all prospective rhymes or interesting word combinations like Rhymer’s Block does. I also like that all rhymes are different colors. Presumably phonetic rhymes occur across song sections? Would be cool. A few changes to make it ready for me to buy: 1) move the rhyme list over to the right side of the screen so it doesn’t obscure the lyrics I already have while I’m searching for a rhyme; I’d prefer if it wasn’t separate window but just another column too with less clutter; so the app is not trying to find rhymes too much, let us sit over a word for maybe 5-10 seconds before you start showing rhymes; 2) show internal rhymes within a line or neighboring lines; 3) add more rhymes; 4) have a looser interpretation of what rhymes to include imperfect rhymes, such as “aim” and “games”. This could be a big app I think. Wish you well with further development! Good luck! ### 4/5 — Feature Request: Rhyme Identification *2024-03-01* 1) To colour-mark rhymes that appear within a line and not just at the end of a line. 2) Option: User defined rhyme proximity detection e.g. if a rhyming word appears within the next N=2 lines the rhyme is marked, otherwise the rhyme is ignored until there's another two rhymes that match the critera **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to review and provide those feature requests OpenedEyes 🙏Those are excellent suggestions!1) I will look into this. In the meantime if you have a word that you would like rhymed, a workaround would be to have that word be at the end of the line. 2) I can see how this would be useful when you only want rhymes to be grouped by sections like a verse. I have added rhyme grouping by sections in version 3.7.0. All the best in the lyric writing journey ✨ ### 2/5 — I need to learn to match syllables to music *2024-02-28, version 2.3.1* I should have learned on my own before, I know, but I don’t know which syllables match with which musical notes. I’m not seeing ANYTHING to help me with this, beyond color coding, and what looks like a rhythm counter. ### 2/5 — It's Okay... *2023-05-21, version 2.2.4* I have started using this app, and it is helpful because it keeps count of how many syllables you use. But, I think that this app needs different sections for different things. For example, there can be a section for the chorous, and a section for the pre-chorous. This is very helpful for me because I am very new to song-writing and I like it whenever the app kind of helps you by using sections. Whenever I opened up this app I realized that it did not have different sections and I felt like the app was just throwing me out there and not helping me at all. ### 2/5 — BEWARE: PERFECT RHYMES ONLY *2023-05-02, version 2.2.4* This app is okay, I guess. But it only allows you to do perfect ryhmes. I tried using it, and at first it worked. But I'm a rapper, and sometimes you need other rhymes than perfect rhymes, and it doesn't help me. In fact, I feel that it makes me limit myself to the perfect rhymes it gives me, and not to the abounding world of rhymes. So I only go to this app as a last resort if I'm really stuck. ### 2/5 — Needs Work. *2023-04-16, version 2.2.2* Syllable count is a great feature. The rhyme feature is greatly lacking. It only considers full rhymes - it wouldn't even accept "spells" with "dwell". The inability to use imperfect rhymes (such as welcome and volume) impacts the app a lot. I'll be deleting the app once I find something more suitable for me. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Apparently only perfect rhymes supported *2023-03-01, version 2.2.2* Won't let me rhyme "home" with "alone" Pat Pattiston would be not be pleased. He really likes those "soft" rhymes.... But some people are really big on perfect rhymes only. YMMV But one star from me, cause I can't use it. ### 1/5 — Looks promising, but can't handle non-alphabetic characters *2022-02-13, version 1.4.8* I tried writing some lyrics in this app, but it kept removing my apostrophe characters and showing the toast message "Non-English characters were removed". This is not helpful. Apostrophes are quite common in English, and there's also a lot of music & lyric that's not in English. I don't want my lyric app removing some of the things I write based on the language character set. ### 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. ### 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 ### 2/5 — The good, the bad and the ugly. *2024-09-09, version 3.9.3* It counts syllables. No other good features to mention. Price is truly shocking to upgrade. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — The best of the best *2024-09-12, version 3.9.3* I've been using a lot of lyric-writing, poetry-writing apps for years now and this one is by far the best. Syllable counting, rhyme matching, it's got it all and works across my devices. Love it and can't say enough good stuff about this app. ### 5/5 — Real Mac App for Writing Lyrics *2024-05-20, version 3.3.0* This app does exactly what it says, looks great, and does it while being a real Mac app. It's exactly what I wanted. It uses plain text files, which is amazing, because they're easy to backup and I'm not locked in at all. On top of it all, the developer is extremely responsive. It's the app I would make, but now I don't have to! ### 5/5 — A Real Mac App for Writing Lyrics *2024-04-24* This app does exactly what it says, looks great, and does it while being a real Mac app. It's exactly what I wanted. The only thing I would like to see added is a way to annotate sections and chords that gets ignored for the syllable counting and rhyming. ### 5/5 — Looking forward to Verison 3 *2024-04-18, version 2.3.1* My only Request atm would be the ability to not color code override rhymes but also use highlights (i tend to use highlights for rhymes and colored text for assonance and alliteration (both internal and external). The rhyme helper isn't very effective yet but I don't plan to use it too much so I don't mind. Another thing I do to help graph rhyme schemes is use superscript numbers to signal where a line ends on the bar-line. Ex: '¹' '²' '³' '⁴' .ect I just put those in the rhyme search area to easily copy and paste them. The syllables being on left side is a bit unintuitive to me, I would expect that to be the bar number and I would expect the syllable count to be on the right. I imagine thats something others also felt. I've proposed the idea to others (really anyone who I believe may take the idea) of a multi syllable rhyme dictionary which would be super useful and would be unique. You could have a community build a multi syllable rhyme dictionary by having people submitting suggestions and their own rhymes (ofc monitoring them). As a paid add-on thats a great idea and the only one of it's kind. There are others working on book multi-syllable rhyming dictionaries but they are doing it completely alone and are very small in size at the moment. Anyways, I gave the app a 5 star review because I want it to have a chance to improve. ### 5/5 — Delightful, Clean, Focused App *2023-11-23, version 2.2.9* I feel like this may not be getting a fair shake, or maybe I'm on a curve as I'm just using it for poetry. This is an excellent, universal minimalist writing app with helpful syllable tracking and a nice break-glass-in-case-of-emergency rhyme dictionary. Hopping between the Mac and iPhone apps as I work out my poems has been an absolute pleasure. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Simple yet phenomenally useful *2023-07-16, version 2.2.6* Lyrics app is fantastic. it's simple and clear works incredibly well. The syllable counter is an absolute timesaver. The dev is responsive to feedback and is invested in making the app the best it can be. Lyrics is now my go to app for writing songs. Give it a go-you won't regret it. Cheers ### 5/5 — Nice Interface *2022-07-16, version 2.2.2* I needed an app that helped me keep track of the syllables and rhymes and this was perfect! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Working perfectly, has improved a lot! *2022-02-18* It was buggy in the beginning with apostrophes not being allowed and a few crashes but now its running great. Thank you for this. **Developer response:** Hi samfriid, Thanks a lot for your review, glad everything is working well. Feel free to contact us if you have any feedback. All the best, Lyrcs. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
