Overall good usage

Helpful when practicing songwriting and gives helpful tips and ideas

So close

I want to love this app as much as I hate it sometimes but unfortunately it’s a lot of both. I’m not one to review apps and this might actually be a first for me. I’m only doing this because I hope someone is listening that can fix these issues. And if you do, I give you my word that I will update my review if that is allowed. The app FREEZES randomly and crashes. Secondly an undo button would be really great for when it glitches on a freeze and you accidentally delete an entire section.

Buggy for me

I’m on an iPad Pro
I used the demo and liked it, so subscribed several months ago.
I have never been able to log in. A screen is spinning saying it’s updating and to contact them if it doesn’t update. I don’t know how to contact the developer as the app is unresponsive so I can’t get to an info or help screen. Total waste of money so far.
I’m going to up my efforts to get the app running but otherwise will cancel.

Great app!

This app is easy to use and makes simple words and phrases into a song. Good work developers!

Really Disappointed

I purchased this app years ago when it was just starting out, when it was originally a paid app and once you paid the less than $5 it was yours to keep. Really disappointed to see that this developer sold out and started a premium subscription, and even more disappointed that they couldn’t grandfather-in those who already purchased the app. Just plain greedy. The “free” version (which actually wasn’t even free for me as I originally paid money to buy the app) is basically unusable.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. While our old version was a great proof of concept, it had a limited infrastructure that prevented us from introducing the most requested features from our customers. As a result, we built a new foundation with an upgraded writing experience. It features automatic backups, multi-device sync, and advanced writing tools, including improved chord functionality, light multi-tracking, and new rhyme/word tools. These new features, along with more to come, would not have been possible without shifting to a subscription model. We appreciate your feedback and understand the concerns about changes in pricing. To honor our legacy customers, we communicated this change well ahead of time and also offered a 65% discount along with an extended trial period. Please contact us so that we can continue the conversation. support@songwriterprofessional.com

songs deleted on their own

lost 3 years worth of songs...not happy

No Accessibility Options

This looks like a useful app. I would love to try it, but there is absolutely no way to make the text larger. There is some implementation of the systemwide text accessibility, but it does not do anything to the actual text for song lyrics. So the app could be great, but if I can’t see it, it is completely useless. It is very sad when developers do not prioritize accessibility from the start.

I planned to write the developer directly, but the links in the app to request support or suggest a feature seems to require that I use the built in Apple Mail app. I do not, so I have no way to reach out the to developer. Overall, this was a bad app experience.

It’s the best I have used!

Well organized, stable app with useful rhyming access and online back up. I highly recommend it.

A word of caution

Good app with impressive customer service, but if you use it, be sure to keep a spare backup of your songs.

Great Customer Service

Update: Songwriter Pro App.

Five Stars.

I've been a Songwriter Pro user for years, and after a recent update led to the app crashing on my phone, one of the two founders / owners of Songwriter Pro personally reached out to address the issue. This company is run by musicians, and they get it. Their dedication to resolving problems and regular follow-ups impressed me. In a digital age, the personal touch stood out, making me value Songwriter Pro even more. If I could, I'd give them 10 stars. To everyone on the leadership team at Songwriter Pro, thank you. Your personal touch and commitment to musicians mean a lot to me. I'm delighted that all my songs are intact on the newly improved app. Grateful for your dedication!

Thank you for the kind words, Bill. We appreciate your support!

A Game-Changer for Songwriters with Outstanding Support

I've been using the Songwriter Pro App since its release, and it has truly transformed my songwriting experience. The new and improved user-friendly interface and intuitive design make it easy to organize my ideas, lyrics, and melodies all in one place.

What truly sets Songwriter Pro apart is the exceptional customer service. Neel provided outstanding support during a glitch that prevented Legacy members from signing in. He gave constant updates until the issue was resolved, showcasing the team's dedication to ensuring a smooth experience for every user.

Kudos to the Songwriter Pro team for creating a tool that caters to both beginners and seasoned songwriters. Whether you're penning your first song or fine-tuning your hundredth, this app is a must-have for anyone serious about their craft. Highly recommend! 🎶✨

Great app. Great customer support.

My feelings as a songwriter is to have an app that is not only ready to go and working properly when I need it, but if a problem arises, to have customer support that is on the ball & cares as much to protect my songs and my time, as much as I do! Thanks so much for your diligence and dedication to helping me out. YOUR THE BEST!!!

Disappointed

Dear Songwriter Pro community,

I wanted to share my disappointment with the recent update of Songwriter Pro, an app that I’ve relied on for years. Unfortunately, this update has brought about a glitch that has locked me out of my extensive library of lyrics. As a dedicated user, this has been an incredibly frustrating experience.

I reached out to the Songwriter Pro team to address the issue and was advised not to delete and reinstall the app for now. However, this problem has persisted for weeks, leaving me unable to access my precious lyrics. The current version of the app has put everything I have written in jeopardy, and I am now locked out.

I urge the Songwriter Pro team to prioritize fixing this software issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, I kindly request assistance in recovering my lyrics. It is disheartening to encounter such a roadblock, especially after years of loyal usage.

I hope that Songwriter Pro will take swift action to resolve this matter. Thank you for your attention and understanding.

App lost my songs

Opened Songwriter Pro today, screen first offered free trial for new subscription service, which I declined, then taken to a the Home Screen which was frozen. Restarted iPhone several times in an email unsuccessful attempt to make it work, then reinstalled app, which didn’t help, then agreed to the 14 day free trial of the subscription. Now none of my many, many songs show up on the Home Screen. Years worth of work has vanished. I sent a message to the app and, if they can retrieve my songs, I will update this review. For now, my advice is back up your songs if you can and stay away from this app.

Thanks for the great review! So glad to hear you're finding Songwriter Pro to be an irreplaceable tool for your songwriting needs : )

Why must you update to destroy your app

Every few weeks they update the app to destroy it. Just now it’s taking over an hour to update the app. There are massive games with much more IP and advanced programming yet this takes more time to update. Terrible product due to incompetent updates and unrealistic updates not worth your time

This App is horrible

I would give this app zero stars if I could. Song lyrics have deleted on there own, not once or twice, but on multiple occasions. Decided I cannot continue using. Make sure your song lyrics are saved elsewhere, or you will screwed.

Great customer service

Latest update had my files missing but customer support got then back for me. Great overall. Would be amazing if app worked for Spanish speaking songwriters but currently it does not.

Awesome app

Wish they made it for android too

A great songwriting tool.

I downloaded this app a few days ago to help in writing and organising my original songs. I took me a while to get familiar with it but within a couple of days (just experimenting) I had the lyrics for two new songs done.
The app is very songwriter friendly and intuitive…..I really like it and I highly recommend it for beginners and advanced songwriters alike.
The support team are really friendly and helpful and they have told me of some new features to come soon….I’m really looking forward to that! Great app.

Lost 4 years worth of Work

Bought the pro version in 2020, had to sell the iPad. When I brought a new one and logged in again, the app doesn’t have any record of my songs. And support cannot recover it.

Use paper and pen, instead of this app.
