Have you ever arrived at a performance only to discover that the singer has decided to change the key at the last minute? Sure, you could sit down and transpose your prepared charts, but that takes time: time that you might not have available at that moment. And what about those folders of chord charts you have sitting on your shelf, taking up space? Surely there’s got to be a better system for storing all that sheet music. Progressions is an app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, which allows you to store, organise and transpose simple chord charts, enabling you to use your device as a customised music display, or simply as a catalogue of the songs that you love to play. You only need a basic understanding of chords for this app to transform the way you store written music, making the app perfect for beginners and professional musicians alike. Charts are entered as completely free text, and can include song lyrics, notes about the song, shorthand instructions, section titles, etc. Progressions cleverly isolates the chords within the chart, allowing it to be transposed into any key you choose. Progressions Features: • Easily enter chord charts with lyrics or notes, or import text files. • Create “sets” of charts for playing from in performances or practice sessions. • Transpose charts to any key, on the fly. • Print charts wirelessly using AirPrint. • Send PDF copies of charts via email. • Adjust display settings such as brightness, auto-lock and font size. • Backup and restore your charts database.
What’s New
Hello again! Just popping in with a much-requested feature addition, and a quality of life improvement for yours truly. - Every few months, someone emails me to ask about support for page turners, and because I've never been able to track down any details on how they work, I've never managed to give a satisfactory response. Until now. I spent some time significantly improving Progressions' keyboard navigation, and so with that comes support for page turners that work by sending keyboard shortcuts. Sorry I'm so late to this particular party, everyone. - I recently made changes to the way I collect crashes analytics in my other app (GIFwrapped), and given it's incredible success both in how useful the new services are, and how much more privacy-focused they allow me to be, I've made the change in Progressions as well. This update comes with the requisite changes to the Progressions' privacy policy, so be sure to check in on that if you're curious. Thanks so much for using Progressions! If you have anything you'd like to mention to me, the best thing you can do is reach out: send an email to support@pgns.co or hit up @progressionsapp on Twitter. I want Progressions to be the best it can be, so I'm always happy to hear from you!

    Issue
    Hi, this app is great, I have been using it since it came out. There’s an issue with the new version, when I make a new playlist, and I try to add charts into them, the app closes randomly. Could you please fix it? I use the option so much. thanks, much love! Show more

    Great app for lead sheets; Dropbox fix info included below
    I have used this app for a few years. It takes a little getting used to, but it works perfectly for what I need. Progressions works great as a place to write and recall simple text lead sheets. The other apps are far more complicated, and are more difficult to use compared to Progressions. But this is considering I am looking for a simple solution for jazz and rock song chord charts. I can easily cut and paste text files from any source, format them to look good on the screen, and then store them in Progressions. 2 'gotchas': 1. Be careful, though, as Progressions will not transpose chords in the chart if they are adjacent to other characters such as - or ~. It does recognize # and m as being musical, and it transposes chords next to these characters fine. 2. Backing up to Drobbox: All songs MUST be part of a 'set' to be backed up. The first time I noticed this is when I created charts on one device, backed them up, then tried to download the backup onto another iDevice. I simpley created an 'all charts set' and make sure new charts are part of this 'set' and have had no problems ever since. My only real complaint is Progressions is not compatible with bluetooth page turners. Hopefully that is coming soon. Dropbox Fix: If you have problems linking Progressions to Dropbox, check to see if you have the Dropbox app installed on your iDevice. The program calls the app rather than a direct connection to Dropbox, which is what it needs. There is no error message or any indication that the connection has not been made. If you delete the Dropbox app and then try linking Progressions, you will get a dialog that askes for the Dropbox user id and password. Once that happens, you will be connected. I had this problem recently (Mar 2017) and the above fix worked. I have also had problems with another device seeing the most recent backup or chart that I created on another device, as if the Dropbox connection needed to be 'refreshed'. Removing the Dropbox app corrected this as well. Enjoy! Show more

    Excellent!
    I just wanted to say thank you. This app is really great. I am a performing musician that uses this app extensively and have grown to depend on it and love it. It's easy, just cut and paste your text (lyrics) into it to make a chart. I put my chords in parenthesis and it recognizes the letters as chords...and it allows you to switch keys of a song/chart at the touch of a button. You can arrange your songs into sets. Please continue to develop and perhaps just add a screen lock function to prevent sideways swiping to the next chart. Cheers ! Show more

    Like but can we get a Numbers option
    I like this app and it ability to easily switch from key to key, but would you all consider putting in an option to view the some with the number system, would be more convenient than have to manually switch and scroll to get a specific key!!! Great app otherwise!!!! Show more

    cranky
    I could not figure out how to use it
  • sungkwangkim, 10.04.2013
    Perfect! Almost
    I love this app. When my friend showed it to me I knew I had to get it. It's an awesome easy way to have a personal database of songs that keeps itself neat and transposes when u need it to. I wish it had columns available. Especially on the mini it's kind of hard to have to zoom out so much to see the whole song. Show more

    Keep going with this app!
    Please keep going with this app! I feel I've stumbled onto something brilliant when I've found this, exactly what I was looking for! One gripe, when exporting a song with a longish title, it gets cut off midway as opposed to going onto. Second line. Improve iCloud and syncing. Keep updating! Been 7 months now... Show more
