Really a great app! I use it often as a sketchpad for song development then I export to a midi file for further development on computer.
Great App!

I've used this app off and on for a few years now. Its truly a great one. Perfect for working out the basic song chord progressions which you can later flesh out in more detail, what ever your method is.
Needs some more harmonic systems to work with.

Some augments chords and some minMaj7 chords, just for examples, should really be included to make use of harmonic minor and melodic minor systems. Also, no b9s or b13s, etc.? I get that they are trying to keep it clean, but there are ways to keep it simple while still allowing important harmonies in contemporary harmony (and classical, for that matter). I have a feeling people that want to use this are trying to expand their palette, rather than practice the same old same old.
AMAZING.

1) This app is wonderful. And the paid version is well worth the money - go for it! 2) My life will not be complete until this is available on PCs and as a VST plugin
Great Tool, but can be Buggy!

I bought this app last week. I like it a lot. Lots of chords to experiment with, and that's great, but I have one problem. When adding another chord to the song structure, it changes other chords along with it! That's a bummer. This happens almost every time. I have had to save after every chord addition. Why is it doing this? Please fix it and five stars for sure. This also has some nice sounds without having to go Midi and that's a plus too! Oh and a way to quickly undo would also be a plus. Thanks for your quick attention. Nebben
Best songwriting tool ever!

Seriously, this is awesome. The only thing that would make it better, and this doesn’t subtract any stars, is if there was a keyboard representation of the notes in the chords so you could more easily visualize how the non-root notes of the chords are progressing. Of course you can transfer it to a DAW for this, but it would be nice for the writing process.
Great sketch pad

This app is super useful for sketching out chord progressions, or fleshing ideas out into longer songs. It has been very useful to me for many years now. Only thing that it needs is iPhone X support!
Very, very, very useful. UPDATE

6 years after the below was written, it's still a gem. Plus useful to demonstrate chord changes & structure to others. Continued thanks. Many of them. -------- I've had this app for a long time now, and it's just huge. All the obvious great factors - being able to quickly experiment with progression, ability to use complex chords, tweaking the bass w/ slash chords, midi export and audio copy to use and elaborate structure elsewhere... As for the negative reviews, yeah, more styles would be nice, and if you don't write in anything related to the included styles (or have no imagination), or if you don't write/experiment chordally (or have no imagination) then you'll have issues. This is NOT a magic ba song creator app, nor is it BIAB. It IS an exvellent mobile sketchpad for development of song structure. AND bear in mind the voicings for a chord within a style vary based on what precedes them, in terms of both chord value and slash/root. As a result the resultant implied melody in the upper registers can be tweaked in various ways. It's also often useful to split sections of a given chord (say, a 4/4 Cmaj to two 2/4 Cmaj with different slash values, or a closely related chord). Not a BIAB level of control, but how much did you pay for BIAB + kit, and is it in your pocket? And, it's useful for just getting a feel for progression and variation, an educational factor that can be viewed as a bonus or as the core feature. ---- I WOULD REALLY like to see a couple even simpler styles emphasising the progressions alone, with/without percussion/arpeggiation/bass (or only bass). That would be lovely for practice and broader prograssion work. --------- But (have to say it, though it takes the emphasis off what I'd like to see added) a very solid 5 as is. - KD Jones

Chordbot provides you the ability to compose and produce professionally-sounding music on your phone. Though it does not have step sequencing for individual notes, it is incredibly complex. You will hear Chordbot on the radio soon.
