Appmuse

As a songwriter, this app is helpful especially as I’m increasing my music theory knowledge. There’s not a reason to at least try it!

It really is! I am a choir director and sometimes my guys are not too adept in music theory. I use this to compose lead sheets and it saves me sooo much time when teaching them new songs!! The fact that you can export chord arrangements into a comprehensible pdf lead sheet just blows my mind!! Other only complaint that I have is that we play a lot of world music, and some island music are in 2/4 or 2/2. Please add those time signatures to the app, I would never need another program (app/computer) for composing again if it had those two time signatures. Please add them !! Show more

This is has many great uses, however it’s almost painful to use without midi capability. I would like to be able to key in chords or practice scales without having to tap on my iPad screen all of the time. Being able to practice keying in chords & scales would be better preparation for piano practice later on. Show more

…did I say brilliant? So yeah…brilliant!!!

Such a gem for learning guitar and songwriting! Everything is well put together and nicely built and user interface is awesome. Can’t wait for chord notation feature. Personally, as a guitar learner, I’d love to find triads schematic right in the app. One small feature request from me is to have a metronome as an option to enable from scales view. Thank you for putting effort into building this app! Worth every penny! Show more

This app is truly amazing and I love it although, there is one slight feature I don’t like and that is not being able to have a ukulele playback sound. I do hope for it to be added in soon other than that it’s great ! :) Show more

Gives me ideas when I need inspiration. I use the song writing tool a lot, you can export the midi as well. Solid app!

Forget those chord packs commercials. This is what you need! Create your chord progressions and export midi for your DAW. NUFF said! Props to the developers! This is soooo great! ? Show more

Just waisted my money on this. Nothing that I can not do in other free apps

An addition of 7 string guitars would be amazing since there are 5 string basses. Other than that the app is perfect!

My favorite tool along with Oolimo for songwriting on guitar. This app is very well designed because short of sitting at a piano, this allows you to quickly form voicings and to edit arrangements WITH an easily read piano layout a click away to see the movement of the bassline. Like Oolimo this app excels at teaching and utility. This guy should take a crack at the IRS tax code and see what could be done! Show more

Brilliant and beautiful

Helped me fill in so many gaps in my theory knowledge and then some. As a result, it’s become a studio staple. One ‘quality of life’ feature I would like to see added is the ability to drag and drop chords when in the edit window. Show more

I purchased this in the App Store and was charged $24 instead of the $7 (already quite pricey) this was advertised for. Please refund me!! Also how is this a $7 app and the pentatonic scale isn’t even included?! Disappointing Show more

Not worth it, app completely unresponsive. Wish I could get my money back.

Great app and great for songwriting as well!

The only thing I’m missing is an easy inversion control next to the other chord settings

Hats off to the developer(s). This app is so well thought out and designed. I’m absolutely in love with it. A great tool for learning, songwriting, and deconstructing popular songs for making your own arrangements. One thing I’d really like to see added is more in depth archive options when you save songs. I’m in the process of building out covers I know and would love the ability to tag songs to a genre, artists, etc. and be able to type in a search bar to jump right to it. It would also be nice to be able to add custom text fields above song parts. If I could just type in the first line of lyrics for versus, choruses, so on that’d be awesome. Then this app will be dang near perfect! ? There are options to export out to PDF lead sheets so you could still use this app as a tool for building a good archive system yourself, but the app design and functionality is so beautiful I don’t wanna leave it.

This is a fantastic app for learning and experimenting with composition. My only wish is that it had options to also add a basic drum beat, selected by genre (rock, blues, pop, etc.). That would make it a fully-fledged tool for creating quick backing tracks to improvise over. Such rhythm would give inspiration that a metronome alone cannot. Hopefully it’s a feature that could be added in the future! Show more

For some reason my chords are all stuck on major 7th mode (the triangle symbol) and every time I try to change it to a regular major chord, it reverts back to the major 7th. I hit the green check mark and it still does it. Any ideas? Show more
