    Works well, for the most part
    I've gone to pretty much exclusively using this app for writing lyrics, and it works very well. It's nice to be able to sync all my songs across my devices via the cloud. However, there are little things that annoy me. The phrases in the inspiration databank are a bit cheesy, and can sound repetitive. The rhyming bank is off, too - you'll get stuff like "horsemen" as a rhyme for "morning." Once in a blue moon I've also had the app crash on me, resulting in me losing all of the lyrics for a song I was working on. Don't let these things deter you from getting it, however - it's still a great app. Show more

    Um
    Thanks for suggesting I can rhyme "me" with "pee." That was helpful? Interesting how alumnae, lungs, and many other strange words are suggested as rhymes for the word "wings." I also don't appreciate suggested phrases with misspelled words like "hate is to nice of a word." I went to college I know the difference between to and too. I shouldn't have to pay $10 to fix spelling errors. Show more

    Customer Support is no exist
    I was bought the pro version, but when I linked this ap to dropbox, suddenly my pro version has gone, and they were asking for another bag of money once more. The customer support doesn't listen, they apparenty don't exist. It would be a 5 stars app if this error were solved. Show more

    Indispensable App
    I've been using this app for a couple of years now and it is brilliant. I love having all of my lyrics in one place, I love that I can attach audio notes to them and I love that they are backed up to the cloud. I've never had any major problems and any issues I have had have either been down to user error or nothing a quick email to tech support couldn't fix. it just works! Today I upgraded my storage amount and bought the desktop version. Everything went very smoothly and now I'm even more organized. Couldn't be happier. Keep up the Great work! Show more

    Great tool for pro songwriters
    I use a lot of apps for creating music on my ipad. This is one of the few I use everyday! I've been a pro songwriter for more than 40 years, and I take my lyric composition seriously. This app allows me to capture every idea. I love the ability to imagine words, phrases and concepts that I'd like to use in a song and save them in the margin. Arranging sections (blocks) is a breeze, and backing up to icloud allows me to work the same song from several devices. Customer support is great. The rhyming dictionary and thesaurus are very good. I've tried other apps for lyrics but this is hands down the best. Show more

    Not buying
    I was going to buy this app but due to the reviews, I get the feeling they developers dont care once they have your money. thanks for the heads up everyone. :) Show more

    Clunky and Way Overpriced
    The interface is very clunky and scrolling is almost impossible. The additional tools provided by this app can be found by doing simple things such as online searches, using a dictionary app, etc. Definitely not worth the $15 that I paid. Honestly, this is one of the worst purchases I've made on my device so far. I began using Apple's Pages app, and I am very happy that I did. Haven't looked back. Show more

    Data lost
    I originally wrote a fairly harsh review because my data had been lost when I updated. I re-tried contacting support, though, and was pleased that they replied relatively promptly and were ultimately able to solve my problem. Seems like they've improved their process. Since I was so unhappy with the data management, I didn't mention the app's functions and features in the original review. These are excellent and well-suited to the songwriting process. Show more

    Customer Service/Support - Non Existent
    I have the iPad, iPhone, and PC version. Have used the app frequently. Recently updated the PC version to 2.2.0 and it no longer works. Have emailed the developer 3 times and have yet to receive a response. For as much as they want to charge for the product I would expect their support to be more on point. Very disappointed.

    Great tool for songwriters
    Fantastic way to keep a record of all the process! Really find it helpful!

    Loses your info
    Lost data once again. Developer is zero help

    Can't trust it ~ lost my data
    Twice this lost my new song ideas, both times when the software updated itself. The first time I was mad the second furious. I lost a few choice songs. Too bad because it functions rather well otherwise. Also, when I contacted the creator the ultimate reply was that I was the only one having the issue so therefore they couldn't help me. Show more

    Glad I have it
    I have really enjoyed this app for writing on-the-go and otherwise. It is nice to have the record feature built in, even though from time to time it is buggy. The workflow is awesome. I'm hoping the record feature gets fixed in updates. Show more

    Junk
    Good idea for an app but it's a buggy piece of junk. Totally unusable.

    forced login
    Any application that has a forced login but does not need internet access to work gets an automatic one-star in my book, only because I can't give zero. I haven't used it much, so can't comment on lost data; and I cannot see the new interface behind the forced login screen, so I can't comment on that either. Show more

    Can't even start to use it
    Like others have noted, the app is now asking for an initial login and I cannot get past the screen. Luckily I have not used it for anything important. Just dabbled with it. I want to see this work, but I am losing hope. Will see what support has to say... Show more

    Awesome App!
    When I first downloaded this, it would not open, it wouldn't let me do anything; but the next day for some reason it opened up with no problem, it absolutely works great! I love this app! Show more

    Kinda useless
    The extra tools don't help much. Hard to navigate
  • gr8g8r, 06.01.2014
    What the hell happened?
    Just went to open the app and there's a login screen that was never there before. Now I can't access the songs I so carefully entered. Of course, I could update (at a price), but what a bait-and-switch ripoff. Show more

    Worst update I've ever seen
    This was a wonderful app until the update. The layout is a downgrade. When my ipad is horizontal and I select the a section of a song I can no longer see the words and type. I have to scroll up to see the words being typed. I would also like to change the default font and font size. I have to change it every song. Show more
