If you can contact me and send example, I'd consider that for the next update. 😇 support@songtive.com ### 4/5 — Jo *2022-10-17* Knilch ### 2/5 — Etwas gut, manches nicht *2020-09-15* Idee und Funktion wären im Prinzip gut: ein Nachschlagewerk für Akkorde (falls man es in dieser Form benötigt). Allerdings ist die GUI oft hakelig oder reagiert nicht, ebenso funktioniert die MIDI-Kommunikation kaum stabil und die App neigt zum Abstürzen/ Einfrieren (iPad, iOS13) ...merkwürdig... **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear that you have problems with our app. Can you please contact me and provide more details about issue - I'm eager to help you with the issue. 😇 support@songtive.com ### 5/5 — Reserve the right to update *2019-11-02* So far so go. No complaints only had the app for a few days now... actually learned a few things about music in just a few minutes using it... reserving the right to update after some more time passes ### 5/5 — Works well! *2019-10-06* Just note that what they removed was a bug. The chord content is there but just not in reverse look-up. I still recommend app for those studying chords! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I didn't remove anything - new updates improved UI significantly and added even more advanced features. Could you please contact me and explain it: support@songtive.com ### 5/5 — Much better than before *2019-10-03* Thanks for updating the app. After hiding the enharmonic keys it seems much easier to find keys/signatures/scales I’m used to seeing. For example I’m used to seeing B Major instead of Cb Major. Again thank you. And I hope the app can improve even further. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I've just released the update that should hide enharmonic keys. Please let us know if it works for you and rerate us since each vote is very important for us. Feel free to ping me if you have questions: support@songtive.com ### 5/5 — 感觉挺强大的app *2019-10-02* 应该有用 ### 5/5 — Top *2019-08-06* Beste App. ### 5/5 — A Great Chord Resource *2019-08-03* This app so such a great resource and is fun to play around with.

I wish the developer can fix this and I would re-rate **Developer response:** Hi Max, I’m sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing with the chord progression feature. Your feedback is valuable, and I encourage you to reach out to our support team for assistance or to report this issue so we can work towards a solution. ### 1/5 — Waste of $13, No Access *2024-08-05* Bought and loved.

No problem with any other midi out app ### 1/5 — CHORD PROGRESSION *2020-07-05* Kicks you out and most the time won’t play the Chord progression you’ve inserted. However big or small. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback! Could you please send me information about the progression (or just screenshot)? I'll be happy to fix it ASAP: support@songtive.com ### 1/5 — It’s not acceptable that the app don’t sync with other devices. *2019-05-06, version 6.26.1213* All that i do i need to do two times or even 3, if i want to use it in an ipad, ipod and iphone. Its need could save the user library at least in all devices at the same time or minimum a way to export and import the user library ### 1/5 — APP DOESN”T SAVE FILES *2015-06-17* Purchased this app (June/2015) Tried to save a chord progression to file within the app———it doesn’t save———also the app does not transfer the file to the iTunes file folder————very disappointed ———if someone has had success with saving files I would appreciate you leave a comment ### 1/5 — Pepitxav *2014-11-11, version 4.13.1013* Cuando quiero adicionar un acorde en una progresión no se puede solo sale silencio no se puede editar el acorde solución en iO8 ### 1/5 — Attention *2014-07-15* A chaque nouvelle mise à jour Avast me bloque le téléchargement avec le message "téléchargement suspect".C'est la seule application à me poser ce genre de problème.Je l'ai virée de mon ordi. **Developer response:** Hi, we've significantly updated app. If it works for you, please re-rate our app since each vote is very important for us.

Die Entwickler haben sehr schnell reagiert - echt klasse!! Somit kann ich mit ruhigem Gewissen meine ursprünglichen drei Sterne auf verdiente fünf Sterne erhöhen. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Could you please check the latest update?
