Has great potential

I’ve used this for a while now and am able to get down ideas but this has limits and functionality problems
The chord placing tool doesn’t work well and exporting isn’t working
Needs an update!!

Garbage

Deleted all my recordings within the first hour of use and no chords would appear. The makers of this app should be ashamed

Can’t add chords to more than one song

I have paid the fee and am up to date but can only seem to enter chords to one song only. It doesn’t allow chords to be put into one writer song. That basically makes this app useless to me

Buggy

Please update and remove the bugs! I have so many songs stored on this app that I don’t want to go through the trouble of changing apps, but after years without fixes, I think it’s time to move on :’(

Used To Be The Best Songwriting App

This used to be an amazing app. The best! But after getting taken over by a holding company, this app hasn’t seen an update in 3 years. The Dropbox linking has been broken for some time which didn’t affect me until my iPhone X quit. Now I’m no longer able to access my songs that were stored in Dropbox. If the developer would fix the broken Dropbox link it would be fine.

This app received a modest update to work with iOS 11. I was ecstatic to see this because the app had not been updated in 4 years and was not working with iOS 11. I have a lot of content in this app and wasn't sure how I was going to get to my material. It's a great app but therein lies my problem. If they decide not to update it anymore then I'm screwed and all my years of songwriting are gone. But this goes for any app. I've toyed with the idea of moving all my material to an app such as OneNote that's not going away but it's not specific to songwriting and not as great to use. Plus there is no easy way to export your material from one app to another. I did that years ago when iWork for iCloud came out and lost a ton of material because iCloud was buggy. So this is a great app for songwriting and I've used it for many years. I said all this to say this: just make sure you have a backup plan.
