This app is amazingly easy and handy. Great support! Best songwriting app out there! Thank you
Guys, Guys this is a great app, please I am number 1 reviewing this app, you guys are making my songwriting so much easier with this app... The App works Perfect and is the best for what it does... Now the only thing i would like to see in the next update is the possibility to make multiple voice recording "Hums" under one song, this way i can write lets say the Verse and Hum, record the verse idea and move onto the chorus etc... And been able to record each time like this if you got a melody you can record it and then comeback to it and write it or vise versa! Thank you guys... love your App, which just replaced my Voice Memos App! Keep Up the Great Work!

Some bad moments

Very easy to use and song specs help remember. I like that you can leave notes. Wish you could have multiple instruments, e.g. to specify that one guitar has no capo and one has capo on 4. Wish we could set time signature. Wish we could set key to minor. Wish we could set tempo/bpm. Slide bar? Really? Wish we could set a title instead of having it be part if the lyrics. But its a nice app. I like it.
Love the beautiful design. And the little details that make it tactful and fun to use. And the core features are really well thought through.
This is exactly the app Ive been waiting for and wanting. I have no interest in making multi-track recordings on my iDevice; I just want a quick way to get ideas down. And this app fulfills that function perfectly. Great, simple app. PS - another reviewer complained that the app doesnt allow you to give each recording a name, but thats not true. The song is named after the first line of the lyrics.
Seriously though, this app does all what it says it does. There are no lags and ads and bugs. The design itself is simple, yet effective. You can sort your "Hums" by keys and give your "Hums" notes and such. The only thing I would recommend is if in a future update, you could make folders and put certain "Hums" in certain folders. Otherwise, its a great app!
Whether its lyrics, licks, melodies, this is a super useful app for musicians.
The Hum interface is awkward, several clicks are required just to begin recording. You cant pause and then continue recording on the same track. The user interface is confusing.
