### 5/5 — Very good!

*2023-10-10*

I really love this app! So far I've written about four songs and it really helps me a lot. My favorite part is the place where you can get ideas based on your mood. I gave this 5 stars because of all the reasons above PLUS (yes there's more lol) there have so far been so glitches. I've had it for a while now and there is nothing bad about it! Love it! ❤️

### 1/5 — Seriously!!!

*2023-03-02*

If I bought this app before for my ipad. Why do I have to pay for it again?

### 3/5 — Updated needed :

*2022-06-17, version 5.9*

Ive supported this from the start & REBOUGHT this, and im using it now, yet the gui feels a lot more outdated than I expected. its like im back to using and iphone 4. I request please to update this up to date w/ the current era OS’s potential: -Viewing more of the list at once (rather than using an ipod style slow scrollwheel thru a few at once). -allowing dark mode (custom colors add so much more to the experience, too) - smaller global font sizes , possibly adding color settings -overall faster responsiveness -overall global size of everything in the app -CUSTOM “IDEAS by mood”and “mood” CATEGORIES pleaseeeee <3333

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-07-10, version 5.9*

Love this app for Songwriting and Dante’s customer support is outstanding.

### 4/5 — Love App

*2019-08-05, version 5.9*

I love this app. My only complaint is that I wish it wasn’t limited to only two devices. Other than that, it would be five stars for me.

### 4/5 — Best 1 I’ve tried thus far!

*2018-12-17, version 5.9*

I’ve tried them all TRUST and this is the best so far imo. Only issue I have is I could be writing a verse and the app freezes and closes and when reopened you have to re write all you jotted down before the freeze smh bad for freestyle writers.

### 4/5 — 5 years of use

*2018-10-10, version 5.9*

I’m rating this app because I was about to install it on another device and I seen the rating it had: I have been using this app for 5 years with over 90 songs stored. This is one of the best investments I could purchase. yes there are a few bugs. Sometimes the app shuts down if you keep switching back and forth from rhyme section to song. And sometime it doesn’t save some of the last things you wrote which can be a pain. I’ve just learned to always keep it updated with the Dropbox cloud option after every couple bars. If they fix that then I will change to 5 stars

### 1/5 — Deletes songs and lyrics when syncing

*2018-04-28, version 5.9*

I used to swear by this app, but now I am extremely upset! The app connects to the iPad version and when I send and download songs from the cloud, lyrics get deleted and songs get erased! Make sure you back up your lyrics and chords to another app! I use the iPad version for open mic, so now I know to never download from the cloud again. I’ll stick to using the iPad version only.

### 5/5 — SO WORTH IT!!!!

*2018-03-02, version 5.9*

Hello. My name is Laney Williams. (I might be famous by now because I’m writing songs on this app) this app is AMAZING!!! Totally worth the money. If you have writers block, it can even help you with phrases or words! So worth it!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 1/5 — Fix bugs...awful right now

*2017-09-25, version 5.8*

I never write reviews...but I’m done with this app until all the bugs get fixed. I’ve lost lyrics every time I’ve written a song because it crashes or just decides not to save something. I used to have to screenshot every lyric because I knew I’d lose it eventually. Great app if it works right but I’m tired of losing my music ideas...
