Ratings and Reviews
Possibly the best app ever
This is an absolutely genius app in terms of its purpose, it's got everything under one roof - a place to write songs and record ideas quickly, transpose sections by dragging and dropping (goodbye cut & paste), a place to record and store audio ideas in your song folders so your ideas can live next to your lyrics (instead of in voice memos which is what I was using before), and a word bank, phrases, a thesaurus that can be filtered by mood, perfect when you need quick inspiration to get you over writer's block. Also I've linked my Dropbox account which means I can back up and export to my co-writers.
The major downside it is glitchy and keeps crashing, twice I've lost lyrics because of this. But I'm persevering and hope it continues to get the backing to continue developing and improving the app because it is so good, and so far the pros are outweighing the cons.
Seriously considering the desktop version too and then I can sync over all my devices.
A good upgrade - but still needs more work
I mainly use SP on an iPad. I was pleased to see the upgrade that allows synching with my iPhone. However this needs some bugs fixing and also further enhancements.
Synching over 3G doesn't work despite having the option to.
Synching also needs to be automatic rather than having to remember to do it before you need it! Maybe as a regular push whilst using it- from device being used to cloud and to targets as notifications so you are always working on the latest version on any device.
Single click saving of intermediate drafts would also be nice - perhaps to Dropbox using a versioning suffix on the file.
Chords - I don't like the interface that requires it to be copied to the clipboard. Can we have a option on the finger (cursor) bar to access chords directly as well and simply dial it in to the location under the cursor. And can we add custom chords - simply allow anything between [ ] to be recognised as a chord.
But despite these minor niggles it is still the best tool available.
Good idea, shame it's useless.
Downloaded this hoping it would streamline the writing process and add a little inspiration like it said it would. And failing that, at least it would be a useful rhyming dictionary, right? WRONG!
Most functions are totally useless. Over 80% of the words I searched for failed to bring up any rhymes. Even simple ones like 'dream.' The suggested phrases and words aren't individual to the song you're writing as I though they would be. Just a few dozen cheesy, overused expressions for a few very broad emotions. And the Dictionary..? Only actually works for words a toddler could explain the meaning of anyway. Thesaurus just plain doesn't work.
Fortunately, the app is clean. Nicely laid out and useful for organising song structures clearly. (Although, you could do that with the built in Notes utility on your iPhone.)
Hopefully one day the developers of this App will update this with at least some of the functions they promise.
Until then I'm disappointed. This has made song writing more arduous, not helped in any way.
