I’ll agree with other reviews. Used to be such a great tool. I got a new iPad Pro and lost about 100 songs. Fortunately I write my ideas to paper first and tweak them in the app so years of hard work didn’t go completely down the toilet but I’m leery of even using the app anymore. Show more

As with previous reviews. Very glitchy that makes it labor intensive to use. Does it work? Technically. But it sputters along. Surely there is a better option.

This was one of my favorite apps for like years, but glitchy ness right now makes it essentially impossible to edit songs and I am looking at needing to transfer my work into a different app. Would really appreciate an update correcting the glitches in edit mode. Show more

The app has been updated to “work” with iOS 11. Yes, technically, it runs. That’s about it. The text input is incredibly glitchy, the chord insertion feature doesn’t work, and adding sections to songs does nothing. It also looks like a lot of the import/export/backup features no longer exist. Dropbox sync is still there, but it’s using the old Dropbox API that is going to be disabled soon. Basically, it’s dead. Original review: I've toured the App Store in search of a songwriting tool that would let me *write*. This does that exactly. The ability to logically structure and quickly reorganize a song is hugely useful, and the chord chooser lets me get a progression from my head to the page quickly. And because the app handles chord rendering, I don't have to waste time trying to space things out properly. Show more

This WAS a great tool, I guess the new owners don’t know anything about music; just trying to make a buck off us. This app no longer works like it use to, even after their last update to IOS 11. The text input is very disorienting (can not see while you are typing), and chords don’t line up with lyrics. Haven’t tried exporting to see if that function has been fixed yet, as I can’t even write a song on this anymore. Please fix this app or sell it to someone who cares - I am open for that discussion.

I’ve been using Songwriter HD for several years and love it but just upgraded to an IPad Pro. I was having several issues so I deleted and reinstalled the app. I then tried Songwriter HD L but have the same issues. 1. If I rotate the iPad to landscape for ease of typing, I can’t see my lyrics. 2. I type the first line and when I start the second, it shifts the text to the left so I can’t see the first part of each line because it’s off screen. 3. When I click to add a new section,...chorus, etc. nothing happens. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!!...and soon! I’d like to give more stars. Show more

Thank you for the update with iOS 11, I can’t find another app as truly sensational as this.

Please update the app. I have songs I can’t open unless it’s updated.

I have been using this app for 2 yrs. All my songs are stored in here but now I cannot use it because the developer needs to update it. Please update the app so it will be compatible with IOS 11. ? Show more

I have lost all my songs since updating to iOS 11. Will there be an update?

This application was a great product and should be profitable for the current owners of the software. I wonder if the competition bought Simon out and then dumped it. I'm frustrated that I blindly bought the "HD" full version thinking everything would work and then after some investigation it appears it's about to be rendered incompatible with the next iOS upgrade. I can't afford to put any more writing into it now. I care less about the 10 bucks lost than about the loss of a great product that was filling a need. Come on, Simon...try again! Show more

This was simply THE all-around coolest songwriting/chord placement, great-to-have-on-a-gig app... And then it was bought by App Holdings and all support and updates ceased. It's been years since the latest update... Just yesterday, as I fired up my new iPad, transferred my data and opened the app, I received a warning that without an update, this app is soon going to be unusable. (I'm guessing the coming iOS 11 will render it useless..?) Back up your songs and find another way to go... Show more

I want my money returned ASAP!!!! You should have announced that the app is no longer supported. Sucking people out of their money. Except to receive a notice.

This has been my go to songwriting app for years until now. DO NOT PURCHASE! Complete waste of money now. 0.0 Support. Emails go to former owner of App who sold it to a company that could careless. They recently just did something to the app where adding song sections no like Chorus, Verse, etc., and inserting Chords is just jibberish and makes writing music frustrating which is the last thing you want when being creative. AVOID! I hope no one buys this ever again until someone addresses these ignored issues. Show more

Are used to absolutely love this app… I could easily write and record lyrics and music… But most of all I can email them with the push of a button. Now, I can no longer email any of the audio. So collaboration is severely limited at this point. The app is doing less and less every time are use it! In order to use the drop-down menu when you want to record music over the lyrics you have to tip the screen from profile to landscape and then back again. It's a pain in the butt. Wondering why features are disappearing… But mostly wondering and hoping that it can be corrected. Have not received a response today. I would think twice before getting this Show more

I was having the above problem so I wrote the developer for a solution. In December 2015, I got an email from Simon Tocknell, the developer of this app, which stated:"I no longer own this app, it was sold to another developer who doesn't appear to be supporting or updating the app anymore." As you can see from the app history, it appears that there hasn't been an update now since 2013. I paid for this app, it has all my lyrics on recordings on it, and now has loss functions. Be careful!

I bought the app. Used it and was going good. Suddenly stopped recording. Send an email to support. Response: ' I no longer own the app' soon support. Then I linked the app with Dropbox for back ups. The result: the files are no readable in drop box. So if your are looking for a good app for song writing, this one is the worst you can get. Extremely disappointed. Show more

I had a question about recording.... This is the response that I received. "I no longer own this app, it was sold to another developer who doesn't appear to be supporting or updating the app anymore." Show more

Been writing songs on and off for forty plus years and this app is the most useful tool for the craft I've found since the digital recorder. Gets it all right and was obviously put together by a real songwriter. What a gift. Thank you. Show more

I have been writing songs for 15 years. This app revolutionized the way I write. It is so convenient and easy I wonder how I ever got along without it. If you are a songwriter, skip those other wanna-be's and Buy this app immediately. Show more
