### 1/5 — Confusing

*2022-06-10, version 3.4*

This apps instructions do not coincide with what actually happens. Toolbars aren’t at the bottom, they are at the top. Sections don’t open, there are icons that seem to have no functional use, and all in all, as a first time user, I was frustrated within the first 30mins. Not at all intuitive. Can’t figure out how to save to folders and so it goes on.  Deleted it.

### 3/5 — Hmmm 🤔 PLS READ

*2022-04-20, version 3.4*

I have mixed opinions about this I love the song that I wrote but I can’t see what I am typing so I makes it harder and also at the start it tells you how to do stuff like record it but it does not show you how to do it so I got a bit stuck but the more I have been doing it the better but still I have been playing this for quite a long time and still get confused 😐

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-09-13, version 3.4*

I couldn’t get the app to actually place chords in the song.  Also when I choose the synonyms or rhymes option the app shuts down.  I tried both the iPad and iPhone version and saw the same issues.

### 1/5 — Not intuitive.

*2020-08-20, version 3.4*

So I start to write lyrics and the screen goes white while you type.Only when you finish can you see the lyrics.I must be doing something wrong cause this is a dumb way to type.Not being able to see what you type.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2020-02-15, version 3.4*

For several weeks it was working I used it on stage during multiple performances now it has crashed multiple times not saving hours worth of work I have purchased a different app that I Will now use in place of this app terrible job after buying this one and have it crash without any reason.

### 3/5 — Question

*2019-10-26, version 3.4*

While in edit. When I’m done with the first line and the try to add a second line the prompt disappears. When I go out of edit I see the words. Why can’t I see them while I’m writing?

### 2/5 — Great BUT......

*2019-02-26, version 3.4*

The app itself is great, as a note taker,  however as for song writing it doesn't work, the Rhyme and Synonyms section just crash back to Home Screen.
I am using a dated iPad 2 so it may be that but I'm sure this must have been tested on all formats.
Disappointing really.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2018-10-05, version 3.4*

I start typing and adding text and the keyboard pushes the text screen out of sight rendering the entire app basically unusable.

If anyone knows a fix lemme know

### 1/5 — Couldn’t enjoy

*2018-08-09, version 3.4*

I wanted to test the rhymes and synonyms thing and it kicked me from the app evrey time and erased the song I was working on. Don’t waste your time with this crap

### 1/5 — So Bad Don’t waste your time

*2018-08-02, version 3.4*

It looks like a good app at first, but once I opened this app every time I tried to make another line it would let me all the words would just disappear. And won’t even let me put cords down. Someone can please respond to this, please write down help for me because I can’t get this thing to work.
