Needs Immediate Updating

Camerononymous

The app needs updating and will no longer work on the new iOS. What gives? I can’t access my lyrics and notes. I’m extremely dissatisfied that they haven’t updated in nearly 4 years. Now all my work is locked in this app and I can’t access it.

Killer app for songwriting now works with iOS 11!!!

Update: I’m SO HAPPY for the iOS 11 update, thanks so much for giving me full access to all my songs! I recommend this app for any songwriters out there. So simple to jot ideas and complete songs down! This app has made my songwriting flourish. I love the simplicity of adding song parts and recording them separately right below the lyrics. The dropbox backup is also awesome. I'm saving my fifth star for when they figure out how to synchronize the voice recorder files with SongWriter app. That would be the bomb!

Great Songwriting App

This app received a modest update to work with iOS 11. I was ecstatic to see this because the app had not been updated in 4 years and was not working with iOS 11. I have a lot of content in this app and wasn't sure how I was going to get to my material. It's a great app but therein lies my problem. If they decide not to update it anymore then I'm screwed and all my years of songwriting are gone. But this goes for any app. I've toyed with the idea of moving all my material to an app such as OneNote that's not going away but it's not specific to songwriting and not as great to use. Plus there is no easy way to export your material from one app to another. I did that years ago when iWork for iCloud came out and lost a ton of material because iCloud was buggy. So this is a great app for songwriting and I've used it for many years. I said all this to say this: just make sure you have a backup plan.

Excellent, and now up to date.

This has been one of my essential apps for years now. In fact, I intended not to update my iPhone just to make sure I didn't lose access to the app. That's no longer a concern. I think this is one of the best songwriting apps available, even compared to newer or more up to date apps. I give it four stars, instead of 5, because the updated app is a bit buggy. I'm having an issue where lyrics disappear when I go to edit them (but reappear when I close the "edit mode" view.) Some of the UI isn't as clean and smooth as it could be. That said, I'm extremely happy that it's gotten an update. I really hope that this might be the first of more new updates, and the app might become even better than before. I'll definitely re-review with five stars if that turns out to be the case. Things that could improve the app: Branching folders (i.e, a folder within a folder) More export options More customizable UI Fixing of bugs (when going from landscape mode to portrait mode, song file stays in landscape; aforementioned disappearing text issue; etc.)

Any chance an update is coming

Really would be nice to get the fix for Dropbox update. The app just stopped working, can’t even get my content off of it, at least not since last backup. Don’t want to have to rekey everything....

ERASED ALL MY SONGS. DOESN’T SYNC TO CLOUD

This app has great functionality, but I updated to a new phone and ALL my songs and ideas are gone. You’re better off using the Notes app or Google Docs or something. I’m absolutely devastated right now.

This WAS the greatest

This app used to be incredible, but it has so many glitchy things it does now that I get frustrated anytime I use it. • lines constantly disappear and reappear while editing • when I try to delete a section (verse, chorus, et al), the app locks up and/or crashes, losing any edits I made • after a crash, the app goes haywire, and strange things happen. Sometimes, deleted songs will even reappear in their previous folders It’s a useful app, and I wish I could rate it 5 stars, but it’s gotten too frustrating to work with.
