## Review summary

Overall, users praise the app for generating wide-ranging chord progressions, ease of use, and inspiration-crafting for both beginners and pros. The main drawbacks repeatedly mentioned are licensing issues (loss of old one-time purchases, migration to a subscription model, and trouble restoring purchases across devices) and reliability concerns (frequent hangs and occasional loss of sound). Some reviewers express frustration with the paid-only features and feel the licensing changes overshadow the creativity benefits. Despite these issues, many find it a valuable tool for breaking creative blocks and exploring ideas quickly.

### Pros

- Offers endless chord progression combinations to inspire ideas.
- Very easy to use; generate a progression with a tap and quickly save/paste into scores.
- Helps users get out of creative ruts and sparks new ideas.
- Useful for beginners and professionals to understand chord relationships visually.
- Speeds up workflow by allowing quick listening and iteration of progressions.

### Cons

- Licensing and pricing issues: transition to a subscription model, loss of past one-time purchases, and trouble restoring purchases across devices.
- Stability and reliability problems: frequent hangs/crashes and intermittent loss of sound requiring restarts.
- Perceived premium gating: frustration with paid features and preference for a flat fee rather than ongoing subscriptions.
