Study Songs helps law students retain information more easily than with conventional study methods. With 80 original songs and almost 1,500 clickable terms, students are able to memorize material for the multi-state bar exam simply by listening to music. All songs, terms and explanations were written by lawyers who have graduated from Ivy League institutions. Our unique blend of melody and study content facilitates memorization while giving students the flexibility to study at their leisure or on the go. As we like to say, "Melody to Memory". Music has been a key study aid throughout our entire lives, beginning with a presence in nursery rhymes and mathematics lessons. Content cloaked in melody naturally becomes ingrained in our memories. Upon hearing an old tune on the radio, we are able to effortlessly sing along. In applying melody, this app covers all of the content that appears on the seven multi-state exam topics, including the newly added Civil Procedure subject. The songs are organized by album according to bar exam subject. Civil Procedure (10 songs) Torts (13 songs) Property (13 songs) Constitutional Law (10 songs) Contracts (10 songs) Evidence (8 songs) Criminal Law (8 songs) Criminal Procedure (8 songs) (The exam's Criminal Law topic has been placed in two albums) Each song comes with a full set of lyrics and explanations for key terms that are crucial to the exam. Give us a try and let us know what you think. Three free songs are waiting for you in your Study Hall! Happy studying, and remember “Melody to Memory!”

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: barsecrets at 5.0 against Study Songs's 3.8. Study Songs's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Study Songs sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and barsecrets sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $38.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
barsecrets holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Study Songs has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Study Songs ships an update every 4 months, barsecrets every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
