Good app with ZERO support

Emailed a few times to get explanation why certain features don’t work. Completely ignored!

Excellent

I can’t believe this app is free. It provides so much.

Bring back old features

I bought the full version of this app a while ago. I think it’s really useful. But I wish that the developers didn’t take away the Roman Numeral/Functional Harmony symbols in the composition feature. Roman Numerals are very helpful. I also wish they kept the copy and paste feature. There used to be a LOT of control that users could exert over the composition section. I could switch entire sections with each other. I also used to be able to start playback from a specific section in the composition rather than having to always start from the beginning. I think this app was perfect a few years ago, I don’t know why they made all these unnecessary changes by taking good features away.

Many are this praising this app little do they know it used to be even more robust before…and that’s what I paid for.
