I can’t get the app to work! Help?

I purchased the full unlock for the app and when I hit the plus sign(+) to get started and explore chords nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?

Very Useful, Needs a Couple Important Changes

CoryPutnam

I’ve always loved using this app. I’m a student composer and it’s very valuable hearing different voicings of chords in quick succession and brainstorming new material when I can’t be around a piano or guitar. The issue is that the “Borrow” function for utilizing modal mixture only works for the parallel modes of any given scale, and as a composer, it’s frustrating not being able to write a key change or even utilize relative modes of my home scale without having to open a new document. It’s a lot less common for songwriters to borrow from scales in a parallel mode because that fundamentally suggests tonicization of a different key signature (e.g. Borrowing B Lydian chords in a piece with a scale of B Natural Minor would suggest relativity to F# Major rather than a direct relation to B minor.) It’s useful for finding interesting flavors, so I would like for it to remain there, but it would be so convenient to (1) Be able to access F# Phrygian chords when I’m in the parent key of D Major (2) Allow key changes mid document, which would probably alleviate the first problem as well in one swing. I’ve paid for the full version three different times and it is always worth it, just adding this fundamental compositional tool would be very useful, particularly for providing helpful compositional cues to novice songwriters. Looking forward to any further update! ?

Almost everything I want out of such an app!

This is a great app for the most part. I use it to write progressions in my down time on my bus commute, and it’s great for that! I have a couple of thoughts on features that I think would make this even better: 1. When altering a chord in an existing chord structure, it’d be awesome if we could change the root not and not just the chord itself. There are work-arounds for this, but it would be a much cleaner way. 2. It would be amazing if we could transpose a composition! This is literally the only reason I almost give this 4 stars instead of 5. (Or does his feature exist and I can’t find it?) Anyway, thanks for this great app, I use it all the time!

Salute.

The app is very good, but chord naming is so confusing and out of date, IV7 is not for FMaj, and some other chord names. I hope you think about it, I will buy it, when it gets right. Best Regards

Awesome

I really like using this app. The one thing I wish it had was a function where you can build chords and scales from scratch and then let the app tell you what they are or are close to.

Best chord assist on iOS.

I’ve tried them all. This is the best. Needs a latching option and a way to have chords hold for longer than a whole note in song mode... or better yet, a clock divider after Link in. Then you could set it to /4 or something for slower chord changes when driving an arp. Right now you have to bind song chords to midi notes and sequence the progression outside of app. But still, this is a very powerful tool. The best bonus feature? You can use it in that floating side window thing on an iPad!

Blown away

Just downloaded and after using it for 5 min I am AMAZED. No excuse to not write songs. Choose a chord progression, create a sweet tune, and add some lyrics, and hit record! Is it possible to record over the chords by connecting the app to my iPhone voice recorder?
