Rhymer's Secret holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2.

Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Rhymer's Secret's written reviews are positive against 43% of Chord Transpose's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Rhymer's Secret ships an update every 45 months, Chord Transpose every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
