Appmuse

Please update and remove the bugs! I have so many songs stored on this app that I don’t want to go through the trouble of changing apps, but after years without fixes, I think it’s time to move on :’( Show more

This used to be an amazing app. The best! But after getting taken over by a holding company, this app hasn’t seen an update in 3 years. The Dropbox linking has been broken for some time which didn’t affect me until my iPhone X quit. Now I’m no longer able to access my songs that were stored in Dropbox. If the developer would fix the broken Dropbox link it would be fine. This app received a modest update to work with iOS 11. I was ecstatic to see this because the app had not been updated in 4 years and was not working with iOS 11. I have a lot of content in this app and wasn't sure how I was going to get to my material. It's a great app but therein lies my problem. If they decide not to update it anymore then I'm screwed and all my years of songwriting are gone. But this goes for any app. I've toyed with the idea of moving all my material to an app such as OneNote that's not going away but it's not specific to songwriting and not as great to use. Plus there is no easy way to export your material from one app to another. I did that years ago when iWork for iCloud came out and lost a ton of material because iCloud was buggy. So this is a great app for songwriting and I've used it for many years. I said all this to say this: just make sure you have a backup plan. Show more

The Setting the letters above are covering words below that line all the way down the page. My folders & song Titles are blending into the line below. It’s in need of a basic fix. I’m using an iPad 12.9” screen & iPhone Pro & both have this same issue. The font for Settings is too big to fit correctly in the app & same goes for I suppose the Folders & sing titles. This should be quite fixable for the developers. Why if I’m paying could I not move my songs from the initial trial/free version over to the paid version. I didn’t want to d.l. an additional app (paid). I just wanted to pay for more than the 2-3 folders in the free version but when I went to purchase it had me download the app a 2nd time. No way to purchase from within the app. Why? Please fix. This is messy! I’ll revise my review. App has great potential but no readable Settings/Instructions etc. Why? Show more

Had original Songwriter HD, which was really pretty cool. But you could only have a few songs on at a time. So I paid for this version. It’s horrible. It truncates how much can be entered, so short you can’t even write a pop song, the screen is totally bizarre, only using part of the tablet screen, and the format is big blocky print. The original was so much better. Why couldn’t my purchase have gotten me the ability to have more songs in process with the original purchase? This version is useless to me. Show more

Needs to be updated at least its a very useful app i love it but i guess we have to start looking for something similar to this app -IOS 13.0

This used to be an awesome app. Now the bold chords don’t work and after you wrote the first line of lyrics the second line disappears so you can’t see what you are typing. iPhone X Show more

This app hasn’t been updated and It no longer works with dropbox. Since I lost my phone I lost over 200 songs that I’ve written.

Lines constantly disappear while editing. Wish i could get my money back. Total garbage

Just like the songs you write. They start out good and end up in the round file. I had a bunch of good stuff in Songwriter and lost everything. I couldn’t transfer the songs out of SW to mail or text like I was able to do in the beginning. After trying so many things, I finally tried rebooting the app and lost everything. Like one of the other reviews said “have a back up plan”. I’m going to look for another app. I don’t trust this one anymore. So sad. Show more

Killer bug that leaves what you write invisible. Plus some bars at the end of verses or choruses missing. You also CANNOT send your song via email which is a major game breaker if you want your song sent to you for collab and backup purposes. Was the best app now to be forgotten I guess.. An iPhone X update would be nice as well, although farfetched at this point. ? Show more

Super useful and amazing. I wish the developers would pay more attention to it and provide us with more updates!

I’m glad that the app was updated so I can use it on iOS 11, but now there’s more bugs than I’ve ever noticed. After picking a folder and closing it, the screen turns blank and you must swipe to get your folders back, and sometimes when I am typing, the line I am typing will disappear. I can still type, and it still works, but it just doesn’t show the line until I move to the next one. Show more

This app has great functionality, but I updated to a new phone and ALL my songs and ideas are gone. You’re better off using the Notes app or Google Docs or something. I’m absolutely devastated right now. Show more

Really would be nice to get the fix for Dropbox update. The app just stopped working, can’t even get my content off of it, at least not since last backup. Don’t want to have to rekey everything.... Show more

This has been one of my essential apps for years now. In fact, I intended not to update my iPhone just to make sure I didn't lose access to the app. That's no longer a concern. I think this is one of the best songwriting apps available, even compared to newer or more up to date apps. I give it four stars, instead of 5, because the updated app is a bit buggy. I'm having an issue where lyrics disappear when I go to edit them (but reappear when I close the "edit mode" view.) Some of the UI isn't as clean and smooth as it could be. That said, I'm extremely happy that it's gotten an update. I really hope that this might be the first of more new updates, and the app might become even better than before. I'll definitely re-review with five stars if that turns out to be the case. Things that could improve the app: Branching folders (i.e, a folder within a folder) More export options More customizable UI Fixing of bugs (when going from landscape mode to portrait mode, song file stays in landscape; aforementioned disappearing text issue; etc.) Show more

Update: I’m SO HAPPY for the iOS 11 update, thanks so much for giving me full access to all my songs! I recommend this app for any songwriters out there. So simple to jot ideas and complete songs down! This app has made my songwriting flourish. I love the simplicity of adding song parts and recording them separately right below the lyrics. The dropbox backup is also awesome. I'm saving my fifth star for when they figure out how to synchronize the voice recorder files with SongWriter app. That would be the bomb! Show more

The app needs updating and will no longer work on the new iOS. What gives? I can’t access my lyrics and notes. I’m extremely dissatisfied that they haven’t updated in nearly 4 years. Now all my work is locked in this app and I can’t access it. Show more

Can’t access any of my songs because ya’ll haven’t updated the app

Can’t access my songs until there is an update for IOS 11. Could please check on this. Otherwise it’s a great app. Fix that and you will have 5 stars. Show more

The app was perfect but now the app not show chords. We need a update please!
