I also hate the ai logo wish you can either go back or update it with a real artist I’ll even do it ### 3/5 — Muito bom mas tem muito anúncio *2026-07-11* O aplicativo é excelente tirando fato dos anúncios que você tem q ver toda vez que usa alguma ferramenta do app **Developer response:** Olá!

Obrigado! ### 2/5 — Make It merge *2026-06-18, version 1.3.1* I have all of my notes on another device and redownloaded the app and I can’t use any off my files because I can’t sign in. Make it so I can’t retrieve my stuff on my new device. Especially since I have the bought version on my other device. Not buying again. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-05-27, version 1.3.1* It’s an amazing way to write your thoughts to expressive music ### 5/5 — My life *2025-10-27, version 1.3.1* Real deal ### 5/5 — Still one of the best out there. *2025-10-11, version 1.3.1* The syllable counts and the rhyme highlighting have made this a go-to for me for the last five years. ### 4/5 — Great but the adds *2025-09-14, version 1.3.1* ⚠️please read. This app is great! But there’s an add like every 30 seconds and they last for a while so that’s my only problem but everything else is great! ### 5/5 — Makes it easy to put my lyrics to music *2025-09-13, version 1.3.1* I would recommend it to everyone who types lyrics ### 5/5 — 100 *2025-08-25, version 1.3.1* Good ### 2/5 — Idk pls read *2025-08-21, version 1.3.1* App is alright but recording is bad and ads are nonstop and really long. Also it’s just bad quality and it glitches often. I find it should be smoother and please stop the ads nobody cares. I cannot open the app without getting a 3 minute ad. Expected more. Any cheap online notepad would be more practical. I really like the idea though. A little change would make it an amazing app. Thank you for letting me try. ### 3/5 — 3 stars *2025-08-11, version 1.3.1* It’s fine at most just adds catch me off guard ### 5/5 — The best app ever *2025-08-11, version 1.3.1* I love this app it is easy to use I been using for years and I love it ### 4/5 — Good *2025-07-01, version 1.3.1* Well it’s good ### 5/5 — 💯 recommend it’s real good *2025-06-29, version 1.3.1* I got this app a couple months ago, and it’s real good.

The second ad lasted 2m 20s, interrupting me after only 40s of actually using the app. The ad free subscription costs $8.99/week, that’s $469/year. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2025-05-22, version 1.3.1* The app closes as soon as i open it ### 1/5 — disappointed *2025-05-13, version 1.3.1* app used to be great but now its all ads every 30 seconds, and the only way to get rid of them is a subscription thats about 10 dollars per WEEK, which is ridiculously expensive for something like this will unfortunately find a new lyric app, this one used to be amazing but now its worse than just using googles keep notes ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-05-06, version 1.3.1* Horrible ads make the free version unusable. ### 1/5 — Ruined with the amount of ads *2025-04-10, version 1.3.1* You have made the app unusable! Good job! ### 1/5 — Literally Unusable *2025-04-03, version 1.3.1* I tried writing lyrics and I get none stop pop up ads, and the only way to stop it is to pay a weekly subscription, don’t bother ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-02-02, version 1.3.1* Ads everywere. 9,99$/week for premium for a realy bad handling. Sorry but no… ### 1/5 — Lost everything. Not free. DON’T USE *2025-01-30, version 1.3.1* DO NOT USE THIS APP. RISK LOSING YOUR WORK. I got the trial and it was working well for the first few days. It suddenly stopped working, won’t even open, and was charged two days before my trial ended. Have had no reply in regard to solving the issue or how I can access my writing. Terrible experience and so disappointed that I’ve lost my work. ### 1/5 — Ads are way too frequent *2025-01-29, version 1.3.1* Lots of ads. Too intrusive. I can't use the free version. Not paying for the full version if the free version is this bad. ### 1/5 — Great! *2025-01-15, version 1.3.0* I love this app! I write songs, record and much more. I really really like music and I think it is a great ability to be able to write it yourself! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — amazing app *2026-05-28* one of the best apps ive ever encountered. simple design, simple functions, no fuss, straight to the point. you write your ideas and it automatically color codes your lyrics / poem by sound, helping you visualize the harmony in your creation. it also helps you find word meanings and rhymes with just one click. and all that for free. just amazing!! ### 5/5 — Lyric notepad *2026-04-14, version 1.3.1* Yeah ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-02-17, version 1.3.1* Great app ### 5/5 — Expand the literary creativity muse within… *2026-01-11, version 1.3.1* This app facilitates the vital need of coordinating lyric, rhyme and metre on a compact page that enables the personal creative literary process to excel — with emphasis on “personal creative”. It functions perfectly on iOS 18 versions . ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-01-03, version 1.3.1* It’s helped me get my mind wrapped around my words. love this!! ### 5/5 — So awesome *2025-12-23, version 1.3.1* As a beginner poet and songwriter, this is amazing to use! ### 5/5 — Omalayta *2025-12-14* Amoure gang ### 5/5 — ThatBoyChub *2025-12-07, version 1.3.1* Good for color coordination for lyrics ### 5/5 — Writing Title and Lyrics *2025-11-27, version 1.3.1* It’s so much fun to write! I can write lyrics all by myself😊😊😊 ### 5/5 — Lyric Notepad Is No Bad! *2025-11-09, version 1.3.1* I’ve used this app for years. Always liked the aesthetic, features and tools, all user-friendly might I add. My only complaint is the disruptive ads in the basic edition, which used to not be so. However, they aren’t enough to damper or lessen what this app is for songwriting and lyricism. The $8.99 a week subscription is worth the investment, given that you take your artistry as serious as I do. Stay in the creative and rock steady my fellow creatives!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
