It happened to me a few times so my solution was to to hit that check mark often. Other than that it works well. ### 4/5 — Fantastic app. Would request one change *2023-09-14, version 1.0.5* This app is great for those who improvise around chords and lyrics. The simple interface for typing in chords is very easy to use. I would love to see an auto scrolling function, so that the cords and lyrics could move while playing along. ### 4/5 — Print *2021-10-16, version 1.0.3* It would be great if I could print this material ### 5/5 — Totally worth it *2019-09-21, version 1.0.2* You know when you have that catchy tune in your head when you’re at work or wherever? You write it down if you’re able. But the get home an realize you can’t remember the melody or maybe even the words. Yeah, that blows. Song Memo helps with that. Once you make the adjustments to your keyboard this app is great. Only comment to the developer is I just happened to find the Chords keyboard on accident. I was just typing them in prior to finding it. I didn’t even realize there was a chord keyboard. That makes this app worth 5 stars. So to the developer, be sure to emphasize more in the beginning on how to find the chord keyboard. Other than that, thank you for the app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lost work *2025-10-11, version 1.0.5* Not saving changes. Work is just randomly lost ### 1/5 — Eww *2024-06-10, version 1.0.5* Very hard to use ### 1/5 — How does this app even work *2024-02-16, version 1.0.5* Can’t figure out how this stupid app works. No directions or anything. And I spent a dollar for the chord keyboard. This is the format I use however… AND, the YouTube video offers ZERO help ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-12-20, version 1.0.5* Okay. Let me get this straight. I love songwriting it’s one of my favorite things to do. But you should not get this app. Like ever. It literally didn’t save my progress. only the start of my song stayed. everything else just left. not there anymore. it took a lot of time and thinking writing those songs man!! I don’t know if it was just me or I had to like have a safe button but if there is, Make it more clear to the people that don’t really see it. OK?! ### 1/5 — It’s ALMOST a fully self contained songwriting app! *2023-08-16, version 1.0.5* I apologize for such a negative review but maybe it will be heard. An auto scroll function would make this app one of the best in the store. I would love to be able to rehearse parts and see how the song flows and it would be so helpful!!! ### 1/5 — Deleted *2023-06-16, version 1.0.5* It asks me to do hella ish I just need a lyric pad I shouldn’t have to do anything but download and write ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-10-05, version 1.0.3* It seemed to be just what I was looking for. However, it has turned out to be a big disappointment. The directions are inadequate, there doesn’t seem to be a print function and their support has not responded to two requests for help. I thought it was great when touching chord symbols you got a sound. Now, that has stopped working, ### 1/5 — Hard to download songs *2019-11-30, version 1.0.2* Can’t download songs ### 3/5 — I like the app but it needs auto save *2022-06-14, version 1.0.3* Ive lost a few lyrics because I didn’t hit the save button and switched apps and it deletes the lyrics. Boo on you ### 4/5 — Very nice little app *2024-01-16, version 1.0.5* Exactly the app I wanted to have, solid 4 stars right now. One big missing feature is a TAB button on a keyboard, to quicker get to a position you need. Right now it can be a bit slow to place the chords. Hopefully the developer can add it with an update. And one more extra feature that would be nice to see is a toggle between guitar and piano sounds and chord diagrams, simply because some melodies fit better on the piano. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good one *2024-08-02, version 1.0.5* I like it but I cannot use custom fonts in the application . My font is Burmese . It doesn’t support custom fonts . You should fix it . ### 5/5 — Invaluable *2024-05-26, version 1.0.5* I use this every time something pops in my head and I’m not near my guitar. I can write and easily jot down the chord progressions in my head. Back with the guitar, it’s so easy to pick the tune back up and continue with the song writing process. This is a must have tool for me and will support the developers monetarily! ### 5/5 — So much capability for free *2024-05-02, version 1.0.5* This app is incredible! The chord keyboard helps so much when charting and even helps with writing as it gives you the chords according to the key you choose. I would like to see a folder feature where I can create set lists for playing gigs. I am getting a lot of use out of this app and it doesn’t cost anything where most other apps like this require purchase or have annoying ads. Must have for musicians! ### 5/5 — Incredible *2022-09-20, version 1.0.4* The amount of things you can do for free makes this app 10x more worth it than any other big name chord chart app. Easily transpose the chords into any key you want and they auto switch, they have a keyboard specially for typing chords to make it easy to read and understand. Incredible app, all you have to do it either import files or paste lyrics and do it yourself but don’t worry it’s worth it either way. ### 5/5 — Great tool! *2021-03-19* Bug: doesn't keep the data if you switch to another app while editing. It should probably save it when going into background. ### 5/5 — Good *2020-11-21, version 1.0.3* Jehxjfidu ### 5/5 — I was surprised!! *2020-07-27, version 1.0.2* I thought they were going to need to charge me to pay for extra stuff they really did it everything is perfectly free and everything works really well and I didn’t even need to pay for anything totally 100% free ### 5/5 — Great tool for song writers *2020-03-17, version 1.0.2* I’ll say get this. ### 5/5 — I love this! *2020-02-26, version 1.0.2* This is exactly what every person needs if you are writing music with guitar chords! Absolutely phenomenal, thank you for keeping this app user friendly and not full of garbage advertisements! Great work! ### 5/5 — The only free app that does this. Love it! *2019-12-26, version 1.0.2* Thank you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
