This a fab app but...
4 stars as it lacks a volume control. it's sooo loud in comparison to other audio apps
Stellar tool for composing
Love it
Nothing seems to work
Touching the + button as instructed does nothing. Contacting support feature also does not work. So can’t use the app at all. 2 stars are for a good conceptual idea.

Hi! First you need to pick a location for creating your document. By default, a folder on iCloud is created for you. If you don’t want to use iCloud, that’s fine too. You can select a different location by using the browse tab.
Best music writing app for all platforms
I cannot say much more than that. This is the best music writing app on all platforms. I’m not talking DAWS or effects or this or that. I am talking about writing, arranging, finding chords. If you are weak in music theory but can hear your song in your head, this is a must. Great for learning and growing. And it seems better than the last time I used it. As well, I got the message it’s been expanded basically to all platforms. I started with iOS (iPad, iPhone) BUT I will be buying for desktop. More than likely eventually OSX and Windows version. Please support this developer. This is so much better than anything out there. So full of value. I can basically write a whole song and than export the near final version, and use another DAW for the “flavouring” thank you!

Buy immediately!
As a typical amateur muso’ I know bits of theory and have read much which I didn’t really absorb.
This app has turned theory into practice, I hear and I finally understand. Secondary dominants, leading tone, tri tone subs etc., all right there.
Could we have ii/? to go with the V/? That may be an illiterate question, but I’m getting there.
Brilliant app, buy > upgrade > experiment > understand (or don’t).

Really useful for composing and theory
This is probably the most useful chord app for writing songs and exploring chord substitutions.
Wish List:
1. Option to include sections with all the inversions of the triad and 7th chords so I don’t have to click through the gui to add inversions.
2. Keyboard to modify the chords - add or subtract notes or spread notes through the keyboard.
3. Horizontal rather vertical chord player. (This might be difficult given the current design.)
4. Drop down from an open state to see all the available saved files.

My favorite music app… one small thing
I would love the option to switch time signatures within a song (even if it’s just between sections) - that’s the only real issue. Other than that this is my favorite music app and there’s a reason I’ve used it for years!
Top quality.
Awesome app. So glad to see PC version released.
If purchased here can we have access to PC?
Thank you

Very useful songwriting tool
Easy to use and navigate. Good way to start off songs. The ability to export the MIDI file is very useful. As a professional music producer I find this a very useful tool.
Had it for years
It just keeps getting better!
Well-designed and easy to use!
Downloaded it, played with it, purchased it. Worth it for the way it lets you play and around experiment with chords and progressions. The export MIDI feature is handy if you’re working in a DAW as well. People complaining that all the features aren’t available for free are silly. Once you mess with the app, experience the intuitive interface, and realize how much time It can save you, you’ll be screaming SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

Very great
Build beautifully and effective
Amazing App!!!
This is an amazing app! I have leaned a lot about chords from using it. But it would be great if there was some way to save progression patterns like the Classic Progressions section. If I see a pattern I like somewhere in the wild it would nice to be able to save it without having to make a whole new document. Otherwise it’s a perfect app!

This thing rocks
Straightforward, easy, creative. Build your song here. Laugh, cry, profit.
Ridiculously awesome app
There might be other similar apps out there but the care put in the user experience really stands out. I am a professional music composer and this supports brilliantly my work. Congratulations! Great job. I bought the desktop app I was amazed then I downloaded the iPad app. I was a bit disappointed that I had to pay 20 more dollars but what can I say…it worth it.

Magnificent
This app has all the features you could dream of to help you deal with chords. It is a wonderful learning companion for beginners who want to master the complexities of chord names and variations. More advanced players and composers will enjoy the power and flexibility of all its amazing creative tools. I would give 6 stars if I could !

Tried them all keep coming back to this app
This is a very useful app. I’ve tried all the chords apps available and several are good but for useability, I keep coming back to this app. I would like to see a few additional features. Please add the ability to arpeggiate a section instead of just everything, can be added in the edit tab. Also some rhythm options would be great. Again could be added per part from edit, where you change timing. Inversions would be nice.
Great app.
Great app.

Wow!
This app is amazing. I’m creating and learning at the same time.
Brilliant
Belongs in the Pantheon of music apps—it’s most useful composing tool I own. The developer is most attentive to detail and feedback, updating frequently. And not just fixes. New features are added on a regular basis. It’s everything you need to create music.
