### 3/5 — iOS26.6への対応は？解析できなくなりました

*2026-08-07*

iOS26.5ではファイルを解析できましたが、26.6にアップデートしたら解析開始とともに落ちるようになりました。ダウンロードしたファイルで出来ません。クラウドももちろん出来ませんが、iOSへ対応は

**Developer response:** ご迷惑をおかけして申し訳ございません。アプリをアップデートいたしました。これでほとんどの問題は解決するはずです。Vivien

### 5/5 — This is the BEST APP

*2026-08-06*

This little app is well thought out and really works well for understanding music theory behind your songs or using it to learn to play or arrange your songs or even be part of your DAW production. I can’t say enough good things about this app. In many ways it’s better than some desktop apps.

### 5/5 — Bravo

*2026-07-27*

Félicitations c’est de la haute technologie musicale .

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2026-07-01*

Paid for this so I could edit time signature and chords. As soon as any edit is made the grey/shade play along is eliminated- I happen to like that feature. Also when closing the app, upon reopening the piece returns to the original not keeping edits. Have also experienced chord names not showing up at all. Wish I hadn’t bought it but I guess it’s live and learn. I will hope it gets fixed. Have really enjoyed Chord AI, just didn’t want to spend a lot on upgrade.

**Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for reporting those issues and sorry for the inconvenience. Normally everything should work fine with the latest update. If not please let me know at contact@chordai.net 🙏

### 3/5 — Excellent but

*2026-06-27*

No way to rename files added. Can’t find the imported files in the iCloud files.

### 4/5 — Latest updates broke something

*2026-06-27*

I have a lifetime pro license but I can’t save any new memos.  The lyrics model download completes and then re-downloads the next time I try it, no lyrics ever produced. The cloud lyrics model button does nothing when pressed.  What gives?

**Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for reporting those issues. Normally everything should work fine with the latest update. Please send us an email at contact@chordai.net if you notice any bug again please. Thank you very much in advance. Vivien

### 4/5 — Yes, yes, yes!!

*2026-06-22*

I love this thing!!!

### 5/5 — 最新版点击和弦键盘上显示错误还是上一个和弦

*2026-05-30*

最新版点击和弦键盘上显示错误还是上一个和弦

### 4/5 — Clicking

*2026-05-28*

This app keeps getting better, but I do have a problem if I edit the song. I got clicks and jumps on the screen where it’s been edited.

**Developer response:** Hello. Very sorry to hear that the edits were not properly saved. Can you please email us at contact@chordai.net please? Ideally if you could choose "Share as a MusicMemo file" and email us the file? That would help a lot to figure out the issue. Thank you very much. Vivien

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-08*

Would it be possible to export also chordpro with Nashville format , that would be helpful too.

• Bug fixes and stability improvements

### 2.6.4 — 2026-08-17

• Bug fixes and stability improvements

### 2.6.3 — 2026-08-13

• Lyrics you edit now stay edited, including when you retype a whole line.
• Chords you move on the waveform stay where you put them, and voicings are correct after transposing.
• Playlists sync reliably: songs no longer disappear after you add them, and deleted songs stay deleted.
• Long chord names can now run into the empty beats after them in PDF export, so they are no longer cut off.
• The lock screen player only appears for songs it can actually play, and its play button stays in sync with the audio.
• Fixed crashes when stopping a long recording, opening a long song, importing from Apple Music, and creating MIDI.

### 2.6.2 — 2026-08-04

Improved AI models
• Better audio-to-MIDI transcription (Midify), chord recognition and beat tracking models

Lyrics
• Rebuilt lyrics editing: dragging segments across lines now works properly, neighbours move out of the way, and undo is immediate and repeatable

Fixes

• Lock screen: correct play/pause state, proper artwork, and playback pauses on calls
