    Great, But For Inconsistent Launching
    Three stars for the moment, bc the app has lots of potential to be terrific. On my M1 Mac Mini (OS X 11.2.3) it worked once and I loved it. But I could not get the app to launch again after closing it. I'm sure its just a glitch in updating to the new chip and OS version. Getting to App Support required a WordPress account, which I really didn't want to deal with. So, three stars for now, will update I'm sure. Show more

    Crash, Crash, Crash!
    I just lost an entire hour's worth of lyric writing that followed months of songwriter's block. The dam had broke and I was streaming the best lyrics I'd written in years. Then all I did was try to copy those lyrics so I could share them, and the program crashed, killing it all mercilessly! Gone in the blink of an eye. You can have your crashy-crash trash application. I want back the paper and pen. They don't crash. Show more

    Great App - Solid Customer Service
    This app is a great find. I've been working with multiple notebooks for so long and I'm not the best organized person. This app has helped me get focused - in a very short time. I really like the layout and intuitiveness; the dictionary, thesaurus and rhyming helper are a big plus too. The onboard audio recorder is brilliant. You can make all sorts of audio notes right there - plus a separate written "Notes" page/tab too. Really worth the price. In fact, I'd say it's underpriced. I had one problem relating to the app not loading (a known bug that was documented on the developer's website, but with Big Sur I wasn't knowledgable enough to be able to implement the fix.) I emailed the developer and he got the problem fixed for me. Highly recommend the app for any songwriter who needs help getting organized. Get more writing done, less paper chasing... Show more

    Holy Tights Batman This is Awesome!
    It’s only been 40 years since I’ve been writing music and all these years I’ve been needing something like this! Today I was getting organized as I’m prepairing for my next release and decided I’d write up all my songs in the computer instead of trying to read my terrible handwriting. As I began the old way of using a word processor and putting in the chords as I needed them, I thought to myself, there has to be a better way and now I know there is! So many great features, one of my favs is having the song in a window and being able to stop and start as you type the lyric! That is the bomb! Another great feature is the pick the key and the chords you need are right there! My only grip would be for basic chords this is fine, but if you are needing a maj7 or 6th or anything like that, you have to put that in manually, but hey for 7 bucks, come on, not going to mark them for that! Great program and I bet this guy or gal is a songwriter to make this so perfect for us trying to get our music out there! Show more

    I love this program!
    Maybe it could have more features... but then it would be a complex mess, like so many other programs I have tried. I LOVE Songwriter's companion. It is simple and doesn't get in the way of my writing. It is one of the best investments in my writing that I have made. AND I know my song collection won't become a mess in this program. I am very grateful, because it just WORKS. Show more

    Not great, but the best.
    The app has a lot of shortcomings, but what it does it does well and I find it indispensible. Previously I had kept track of my songs in a Scrivener document, which is an okay solution if you already own Scrivener but it doesn’t easily allow for you to move quickly through the details of a song, and in this app we have the tools to sort our songs and an imperfect but worthwhile setup for importing voice memos from iTunes or whatever you use to jot down your ideas. My wish list is a mile long, but at the end of the day I have to say I couldn’t live without this program, and it causes me minimal frustration and no harm. I’ll add that the rhyme dictionary is phenomenal, and I can’t imagine the complaints I’ve read stem from anything other than misunderstanding. The app is worth the asking price or better for this feature alone. Show more

    Great App but no cloud sync...
    This would be a 5 STAR app with cloud sync. As soon as it’s available in this app I’ll give 5 Stars. This app provides all the tools a writer needs for writing lyrics and keeping track of all your songs. Very, very handy to use. The rhyme data base could be a little bigger. I’m sure this app will come with better things as it’s developed. Thanks for a great app. :) Show more

    Better than I expected
    This is the program I have been looking for to help me write my P&W songs as well as solo originals. Robert is great at getting back with you with your questions/suggestions too. Give this a try I don’t think you will be disappointed in the least, I know I am not! Show more
