1. 5/5I love this app

   This is an amazing app! I would’ve already rated it 5 stars before I even found out about the measure mode! And I really like how it has the syllables next to each line. The way it colors rhymes is a really nice touch, and the search bar has helped me so much! I’ve even used it countless times unrelated to the song I’m writing because it’s so much easier than looking the stuff up! My only problem is that it sometimes freezes for a few seconds (but whatever I type while it’s frozen still shows up). Another thing that could be improved on (but doesn’t really matter much) is that it doesn’t know the syllables of numbers. That does make sense, I imagine it would be incredibly tedious and time-consuming to program every number. Plus, it’s impossible to predict how someone will pronounce the numbers (ex: 695=six ninety five/ six nine five). Overall, this app is AMAZING. It’s got everything a songwriter/poet could want! Edit: I got a new phone and the app won’t open. There’s about a 100% chance that the tens of hours of work I put into this app are gone, and when I open it it only shows me the beginning animation of the pen scribbling a line before closing and going back to the home screen. The most devastating part is that I can’t use the app anymore, because I need it more than ever right now. Still 5 stars; I loved this app while I could use it...

2. 5/5BEST songwriting app ever

   I’ve had this app since…like 2018 and I’ve never wanted any other app for songwriting. Around 2021, the app crashed when iPhone updated their iOS and I was so scared I’d lost all my songs, but fortunately they updated it and I was able to get all of them back and have doubled if not tripled the number of songs I’ve written on here. It literally has everything a songwriter could dream of having in an app. Recorder to remember melodies, a place to put lyrics, notes feature where I like to put the chords for the specific song I’m working on if I need to remember, rhyme finder and I’m just skimming the surface with the list of tools all at your finger tips on just this one app! Could not recommend more! Only flaw is the limited features without premium, but I get that they have to make money somehow and honestly after I pay off my student loans; I might consider getting the premium version of this because it’s WORTH it!

3. 1/5SammyDuck

   I’m a retired high school and community college English instructor who writes poetry in his spare time. I’ve tried several poetry writing apps for ios, but none of them really helped that much. Short of using AI to perform auto-scansion of verses, this app, presently, is about as good as it gets, and the cost is quite reasonable. I recommend it to friends, associates, and former students. Though I have found better rhyming dictionaries and thesauri out there, I use this app because of its features, dependability, and convenience. It never gets in one’s way, its UI is easy to learn, its visual appearance is spare and appealing, its saving and syncing facilities seem reliable, and it has some nice customization options, including a dark theme. Thanks to the developers for an innovative and useful product. UPDATED REVIEW, JUNE 24, 2024: I have really enjoyed writing lyrics and poetry with this app, but it is now COMPLETELY UNUSABLE IN ITS BASIC VERSION BECAUSE OF THE ADS. What’s more I have found no easy way to contact the developer. I would be willing to pay a one-time fee to remove ads or maybe a one-time payment for a lifetime subscription to premium features, but the weekly subscription rate is out of the question. YOU KNOW, I PAID FOR THIS BUT NOW CAN’T USE IT!

5. 2/5Lock Out Glitch (Solution)

   After nearly 3 hours of freaking out and nearly having a breakdown over the iOS16 glitch where you can no longer access the app, I’ve found a solution (although this won’t be a solution for everyone). If you download the app on an iMac desktop (not a MacBook laptop), you will be able to access all saved files from the app lyric-wise. You won’t be able to access any of the saved voice recordings, but that’s not much of an issue for me since I can remember what melodies I used when I see the lyrics I wrote down. If you don’t have an iMac, I’d recommend finding someone who does, logging onto your iCloud account, downloading the app, and saving your work so that you won’t lose it again. This app was great and I have literally all my music on it (tons and tons and tons of songs), but it’s time to retire this app and move onto something a little more secure, as the developer has clearly abandoned his work, and there won’t be any updates or fixes that’ll allow us to enter the app from our phones.
