Simple Songwriter for Positive User Reviews
✓ :DIts amazing! a must have tool for easy and on the go songwriting!.Version: 0
✓ Songwriter's DreamMan, this program is a MUST HAVE for any real songwriter. Being able to hear the composition and figure out where the song is going is key. Yes the sounds aren't the best quality, but if you want a piano then buy another app. If you want to compose then look no further. I'm sure other software developers will try to steal the idea of this app. I give it five stars because it deserves it. One suggestion would be to add a vocal track so you can record your words also..Version: 0
✓ Useful!If you are looking for an app that will play chords reliably at the touch of a finger this is one. There appears to be zero latency on this app. You touch and it plays. You don't feel lagged and you can concentrate on what you are playing. The modifier buttons are easy to get used to and don't fuddle the fingers. I wouldn't mind a gentler sounding piano but the one offered is fine. Bottom line is that this really is a useful app and it's the first instrument app I don't regret buying. Use it!.Version: 0
✓ Great app to help jot simple music ideasNearly perfect app!! I have been downloading other music apps looking for something like this! The other piano and guitar apps are good for showing off but this one is very good for getting a simple backing track to write to whilst jotting down lyrics, would have given five stars, but it does not have a setting for songs that start in a minor key. please update to allow songs to start on minor keys and it will be a perfect app.Version: 0
✓ Feature RequestA looped playback option please :-).Version: 0
✓ So AppreciativeThis app had aided me so much and helped me get to grips with progressions for my song writing, thank you! Maybe for an update idea have the finger positions displayed for each chord? :).Version: 0
✓ Great tool!This app has made my song writing so easy! The chord combinations are great and it takes seconds to record. No issues on my touch either.Version: 0
✓ MrI tested the light version before purchasing the full version, i put the blues changes in and put it to play whilst i follow it on my keyboard or saxophone. I don't know wether you can input and save all the jazz chords yet, if not that would be a "MASSIVE" plus on the upgrade. Also changes can be put in and you can play along to the changes on the music stand. If the changes could be imported to a sequencer that would be great too..Version: 0
✓ Simple but brilliantI've tried out various music apps in the store, but this is the most useful for getting a basic song structure together and can then go and develop the ideas elsewhere. I also like the fact that you're not faced with a piano keyboard or guitar fretboard or a sequencer where sometimes you come up with similar ideas. Very simple and very useful..Version: 0
✓ SweetFinally a tool that supports simple is better! However, guitar sound would be greatly appreciated. Overall, great ap..Version: 0
✓ Road tripGood for when you are on the road. Only downside is it gives you set chords. Sometimes you would like a certain chord... But it's not there..Version: 0
✓ Love it!I stumbled across this by misspelling a search term. I thought this was dumb since I play piano guitar bass drums etc. However curiosity got the best of me and I'm glad it did. I've been playing my favorite tunes on my iPhone! Please hurry with the voice recorder. I'll pay for the upgrade. I'll even pay more for the ability to edit the song in the chords used section and please please please add additional chords, the ability to modulate, and minor keys. I can use relative majors for minor keys but I'd rather not. I like this app. I'm serious about being willing...no...happy to pay for the additions listed. Hello simple songwriter, goodbye free time!.Version: 0
✓ I love this appThis is more helpful when I write songs.its very simple and user friendly.this is going to be indefinitely musician's best friend on the go..Version: 2.2
✓ Simple and fun (and educational)I know a bit of music theory, but not enough to easily figure out chord progressions for a new song. This app is very simple to use, and makes it easy to choose chords that work together. You can choose the key you want, and make a song that sounds good in a few seconds. Right now, you only get piano chords sounds, but the developer says he may add guitar sounds in the future. You don't need this app if you're an expert, but it's great for beginners. A very nice app..Version: 0
✓ Great Way to Learn & CreateWhen I am standing in line or on the bus and get a musical idea, I use this app to quickly play through the chords I think may work and this helps me change a progression or get more ideas. This is easy to use and cannot image why anyone would not love this app as much as me. Keep Playing - Keep Learning.Version: 2.2
✓ Very basic but very usefulWould be good to add to a song.Version: 2.3
✓ Definitely usefulI'm an experienced musician but found it particularly useful for working out songs from memory and changing key. Most musicians would already know the theory but this is very convenient for the lazy. Novice musicians can quickly work out songs without much theoretical knowledge but they will quickly get to know relative chords in various keys by using it. Its good fun just playing it. I recommend the next version should include the ability to record melody line as well..Version: 0
✓ ExcellentI am average at playing guitar. This really helps put a song idea together by hearing something you like then taking it to the guitar to learn. Really simple, complete app. Love it.Version: 0
✓ Great UpdateLooks great and i love that you can completely edit and quantize the song chords.Version: 2.0.2
✓ A Catalyst for the Creative ProcessA very useful little tool for songwriting. Many have commented that it helps on the road, which is true. I also find it useful when I'm stuck creatively with the guitar on my lap, or trying hard not to 'write the same song' again! Development Requests: - add to the complexity of possible chord voicing options - another row or column in your basic initial chord table - guitar simulation - tap tempo Thanks!.Version: 2.1
✓ Really goodIt's is a fantastic app great way to get your ideas down adding a keys page to play single notes too would be nice but for this price you can't complain.Version: 0
✓ It's worth the moneyWhile there are some things missing, you can't expect to get it all from an app on your iPhone or itouch. This is a great app well worth the money helps with simple songwriting. I also can't wait for their guitar version..Version: 0
✓ One of my Favourite appsThis little gem is great for songwriting. I find it especially usefull for finding changes to chords I already have. Yes a loop feature would be great. What I would like though is the ability to choose more chords. Instead of inv2 you could have "select your own"? Anyway keep up the great work. Love it! Thankyou!.Version: 0
✓ IncredibleSoo simple, yet still amazing! Very impressed indeed. The only thing I would critisise would be the sound quality. It is very poor. But thats nothing a software update cannot fix... Right? ;) this app it very entertaining for those musicians amoungst us who feel the need for a buy. As a teenager I find the app very easy to use and understand. If you have studied or are currently doing music at standard grade level this is a worthwhile buy! :).Version: 0
✓ #1 App on my phoneFor any musician this tool is invaluable, I am amazed how quickly I can tap out a song then change the key/tempo to my liking. Not sure if I agree with a previous user about the 7th chords, I'm pretty sure the V chord is dominant, which seems correct to me. Anyway great app well worth the 2 bucks..Version: 0
✓ Very nice appThis app is a go to during the songwriting process! Last weekend I pulled up a song I had created a year ago that never really seemed to work. I was in the middle of trying to hash out a rewrite of the first verse when in frustration, I pulled out this app, hit the key I was in and found chords that worked and more importantly, made the song better. I was inspired to rewrite a verse melody for the good of a song. I know this is simple music theory, but having a quick interface that you can start hitting chords that work together while in the heat of a song writing moment is a godsend..Version: 2.1
✓ Very good but.....Needs midi export really badly..Version: 2.1
✓ Needs suspended chordsReally great app. The style is perfect for how I compose music but when I get into a groove on a song I find the lack of suspended chords kind of limiting. If this could be added as a mod button I would totally bump this to 5 stars. Great app. Totally worth the price. :) Another suggestion. If you were to make the ui landscape you could allow for easier pressing mod buttons and chords. It would give you more room to play with. Keep up the good work..Version: 0
✓ Awesome but has a Metronome glitchThis has the potential to be a very useful app. It's great! A few of things need to be added like an editor for the chord list so you can alter the song without having to re-record, a loop function and the metronome needs other time signatures (3/4 time at the very least). There are a couple of bugs/glitches like the cancel button in the clear song screen doesn't work and you must MAKE SURE YOUR VOLUME IS SET TO MAX DURING INSTALLATION otherwise the metronome won't work.either..Version: 0
✓ Amazing updateNow the new update works on iPod touch, it has turned a fun tool into a serious tool. Very easy to use, and great results.Version: 0
✓ Great love it!Is great and easy to use. I have recommended it to lots if people. Great great for song writing..Version: 2.1
✓ Unit 5Excellent app! Superb creative tool which has accelerated my productivity hugely! Definitely recommend this app (I would hope that the ssw piano app soon follows the ssw guitar app and accommodates midi export through iTunes this for me is it's only downfall) Overall amazing app!!!!!! A must buy!.Version: 2.1
✓ Great appThis is a highly useful app regardless of your compositional level or ability. I find I use it often. It's a perfect bottom-line songwriting sketch pad for creativity on the go..Version: 2.1
✓ Very good, sinple, and helpful :)I love this app, but i would like to have the minors keys, so i can spand my creativity.Version: 2.2
✓ BrilliantSimple and so easy to use. The sound before the upgrade was good but after upgrading it is excellent. Well worth it..!!.Version: 0
✓ Nice butNeed export.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Great appEasy to bang out tunes what more do you need. It’s great!!.Version: 2.3
✓ Song WritingLove it. Have written 2 songs for my band and hoping to compose more.Version: 2.1
✓ Definitely Very Useful !Glad I bought it and it's the most useful app I've purchased since the store opened . I love it ! 5 Stars $ $ $ $ $.Version: 2.2
✓ FantasticLove this. It's my "go to" for idea creation, but wish developer would keep developing it. Virtual midi please!!!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Great AppLove it! Perfect for when I get stuck and need to find a chord or work out a quick melody idea..Version: 2.2
✓ ReviewThis app is so easy to use. The tutorial is clear and easy to understand. Perfect app for anyone from the beginner to the experienced songwriter. 10 out of 10..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Simple songwriting for surThis easy to use and great for quick songwriting. I use this before I go into other more complicated software to capture chord progression ideas and try different keys..Version: 2.2
✓ Simple and good.Very to the point. I like. Things to add in future updates Midi export Tap tempo.Version: 2.1.1
✓ I - vi - ii - V[Update! App won’t save a song if it has more than a one word title! Other than that, pretty cool. Can you keep working on it? Sorry, found another bug. It seems to play a mix of all the songs I’ve recorded when I load a song. I like this app. But you’ve got to sort these problems out.] On my way to teach a songwriting workshop this morning and thought, “I wonder if there’s a decent songwriting app?” This brilliant app is perfect for my workshop. It helps to illustrate how simple songwriting can be. By showing my students the basic chord progressions used in today’s country, rock and pop songs, then demonstrating how easily a song can be created on the app, I’ve completely demystified the songwriting process. A fantastic tool for my students and one that I’ll be using myself from now on. Thanks!.Version: 2.3
✓ Its got serious potentialReally good app for chord progressions but............ where is the midi export???? there's a few apps with this feature, why does this not have it??.Version: 2.0.2
✓ My most used appI love this thing. I would like to be able to loop what I recorded, listen to the click with the recording, and adjust the tempo while it's playing back. Other then that it's perfect! My song writing is more streamlined, I write way more songs now, I enjoy song writing more. This is a wonderful app for anybody even remotely musically inclined..Version: 0
✓ Smart & EasyWhat a great app. You have got everything at your fingertips. Easy to record your music, edit and play what you have already recorded. What a great idea for the iPad, you have your music just where you need it , in your hand at your fingertips..Version: 2.2
✓ GreatWonderful app! I used the free app 1st then quickly realised i needed the full version to maximise its full potential. Fully recommend this app for producers, songwriters and beat makers. @jonnibeats.Version: 2.1
✓ Really handyI have been learning guitar and this makes it very easy to start writing my own songs. A must for songwriters like myself starting out..Version: 0
✓ Negative reviewers are crazy...Awesome AppI never write reviews, but this app is beyond "hopefully useful"...it's endless inspiration. In fact, selfishly, I didn't even want to write the review because it's one of those secrets you'd like to keep to yourself - but these guys deserve props. The bad reviews are complaining about sound quality, lack of instruments, lack of chords (which is just someone who doesn't understand scales)...they clearly don't get the concept, and aren't using it for it's intended purpose. If you're a songwriter, run...don't walk, to purchase this app. Great concept, and well executed. Developers - as a few other reviewers have mentioned, the ability to record a vocal track in combination would absolutely take this to the next level - and would be worthy of a $10 "pro" version. It would truly be a portable writing solution that way - as this is only tackling half the process. Please, please consider adding that as part of the next sprint (or as a pro version)...you'd be bringing a ton of good music into this world (and that's not a bad life goal!)..Version: 0
✓ Helpful with chord ideasLove the app. When I need ideas on chord progressions for new material on the go or if I need to transpose to a new key and transcribe on the fly this app is my go to..Version: 2.2
✓ Awsome but needs more instrumentsThis app is awsome cus it let's u create a really basic song fast, sure u can't go all the way to a completed song but it does give u the basic idea to develop further, it could do with having a couple more instruments like guitar or sax or violin or summin :) thx.Version: 0
✓ Extremely usefulI've arrived at many chord progressions that I've used in compositions by using SSW. My only complaint is that I can't find anything with all of the same exact functionality for my PC..Version: 2.1.1
✓ BrilliantA great way to work out progressions when you're not in front of a piano..Version: 0
✓ Wonderful App!!Love this app and look forward to getting the guitar version in due course, shall look forward to having midi app at some stage. This is simply an amazing piece of equipment the chords on the piano is lovely. I played along song "Always believing in your Soul" wonderful app..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Good ApplicationGreat application for developing chord progressions. Please add the ability to select minor key as starting chords..Version: 0
✓ Great potential...quantize/phrase record!This app has been extremly useful. Things I would like to see from it: The ability for basic quantizing to the the metronome. Sometimes you get ahead or behind on your taps. It would be nice to have the option for it to fall within some sort of grid. Recordings done in phrases. Rather than have to tap a whole song, give the option of recording a verse, chorus, bridge, etc. Then provide the option of putting phrases together in whatever order we see fit. Maybe also include just a simple powerchord chord option for simple guitar players to get a more root note approach for writing.. This is a great app with great potential for scratch ideas....Version: 0
✓ Perfect appThis app walks the fence perfectly between too much and too little. I can always fall back on it when I need to without getting caught up in it. Thank you..Version: 2.1
✓ Update Okay, a couple of things need improvingCould we have the chord numbers back to help novices like myself with progressions? Metronome would be better with a 2 bar pre-count or the ability to alter the bar positions in the editor. Finally if you are overwriting a file, it should ask if you want to overwrite current file. Overall a good application for novice writers like myself.Version: 0
✓ ReviewThis app is simple yet very effective tool for songwriters to record melodies and frames for songs and also to enhance existing works and song starts by adding different chord structures demonstrated within this application. A must have for songwriters..Version: 2.1
✓ ADD AUDIOBUS SUPPORT FOR NEXT UPDATETHANX YOU.Version: 2.2
✓ Demystifying songwritingI highly recommend this app to my songwriting students. It really facilitates the process and allows you to easily customize and alter suggestions given to your own taste. Well done!.Version: 2.2
✓ Wow!I've been a songwriter for a while now, and on non gigging trips and vacations, I'm often inspired to write. My wife is tolerant since this is how I make my living, but she hates me bringing digital recorders, or Pearlcorders and my late son's beginner half size guitar to try and record what I've hammered out to go with the lyrics I just wrote... This app is a solid WOW! Now I can play with melodies and chorus' without disturbing anyone, record the result, and with the lyrics stored in Notes, get home with a finished song... Would I like it to do more? Sure, but for what I just paid I know I've gotten a deal! I'm gonna be first in line if yup go with a Pro Version as well... Kudos!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ I love this app!As a songwriter, I use this app for capturing ideas on the go. I would love to see more non-diatonic chords (specifically the major III)! A better way to structure songs would be nice to (verse, chorus sections). But for creating progressions on the go, this is the app for that!!.Version: 0
✓ Fantastic AppYes,it's a great app. But if we can transfer midi to Logic Pro,or any music creation softvert,it would be great. Thank's for the app😉✌👋.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Five Star Quality!This app is of five star quality! The app is just awesome and it is incredible how easy it is to create amazing sounds! When I sent a contact form to them via email they replied in about two hours!!! Now that is great service! If you are considering purchasing this app I say definitely do; it is more than worth the money! Thankyou for this great app! .Version: 0
✓ Useful educational tool for meIt is very helpful in learning Nashville Number system with chords in each key.Version: 2.2
✓ Well worth itThis is a well built app, easy to work out yourself, but has a great tutorial vid you can watch to explain the features. This makes an excellent song sketch pad, and is helping me understand the music theory behind the ideas I come up with, I find this quite valuable. I haven't tried the Guitar version, but I'm definitely interested after my experiences with simple songwriter..Version: 2.1
✓ Good app but some suggestionsGood app. Works well. 1. Why can't I set a minor key? 2. If I can't set a minor key at least let me customize and pick the 9 chords I have access to..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Useful but...I have written several songs using this app, BUT why oh why can't you export the chords as a midi file - I would pay a lot for that feature..Version: 0
✓ Sweet appGreat for practicing vocal exercises and obviously good for songwriting. It helps with theory too!.Version: 0
✓ Nice workOddly I'm finding this useful in the studio for composing deep house chord progressions.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Great ideas generatorSimple and useful fun app to inspire new song making. If you write songs worth a buy..Version: 0
✓ ExcellentAmazing sound and beautiful combinations! Maybe other instruments and plain notes instead of just chords could make this app into the top tens in....a month? It would be worth 3 times as much at least!.Version: 0
✓ Yessss!So happy this got updated to work on iOS11! Brightened my day. Thank you, and all of this devs music apps are great..Version: 2.3
✓ Musicians new best friend!There are a lot of musical toys on the app store, but this one might be most useful for letting a musician write harmonies and melodies. The sounds are nice and the interface is simple. I only wish I could control the balance of recorded sounds and the midi chords and/or export audio via audio copy..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Amazing updateUpdate tool this app from three to five stars easily. Really really great app now. Thanks!!.Version: 0
✓ Great app!I've already come up with progressions for my next two songs using it. Perfect for brainstorming while at work or on the go. Get this app if you are a songwriter and ever experience writers' block. (Bonus: Devs replied positively within 1 day to an email I sent regarding the high quality sound upgrade.).Version: 0
✓ Great appVery easy to use.Version: 2.2
✓ Love this app!I would love for updates to continue!.Version: 2.2
✓ Truly amazing!The title says it all guys. Its helped me write ALL of my songs, I repeat ALL of them. I love this app!!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Wow I was really impressed!I love it! I think that this was an ingenious idea for an app. It could be better though. I think that it would be amazing If suspended chords and the inversions of 7th chords were added. I also agree with previous suggestions that a landscape GUI would be necessary for more space for addition features. Other than that it is a beautifully coded app and I use it everyday. Thank you for such a useful and well thought out application!.Version: 0
✓ Yeh manCool as a bus stop, work gap app.Version: 2.1
✓ Great app for fleshing out a new songReally nice app that has a lot of potential and very useful for fleshing out a new song. I would really love to see the chords be exportable in some capacity via the iTunes file sharing: MIDI file would be great! or some sort of list / chord names / notes. I am enjoying this..Version: 0
✓ SSWFantastic app! Simple and easy to use!.Version: 0
✓ Cool appLove it!! Great sampled sound. An integrated piano for melody would be supercool!!!!!.Version: 0
✓ Luv itLuv it but needs midi export facility - great for sketching ideas..Version: 2.1
