User Reviews

The Guitar Chord Progression Songwriter app is praised for being intuitive, easy to use, and a powerful tool for songwriting. Reviewers frequently cite its strong chord library, straightforward chord progression ideas, on-the-go recording, and MIDI export compatibility with DAWs. However, multiple reviewers report stability issues on iOS 10 devices, criticize the pricing and feature gating, and note limited export/share options in the free version. Overall, it's a valuable brainstorming tool for songwriters, but users should be aware of potential crashes, upgrade costs, and export limitations.

Pros

Very easy to use and beginner-friendly, making it ideal for songwriting even for users with little music theory.
Excellent for brainstorming and experimenting with chord progressions, strumming patterns, and song ideas.
Wide chord library and flexible chord-building, including diatonic progressions and pentatonic nodes.
MIDI export/out and DAW compatibility, plus in-app recording capabilities.
Portable on iPhone/iPad with one-handed use, great for on-the-go songwriting.

Cons

Stability issues on iOS 10: frequent crashes and unresponsive UI.
Pricing concerns: high upfront cost and gating of features behind upgrades; the free version is very limited.
Export/sharing limitations: limited export/print options and some features require paying extra for export.

As a maker of computerized music - what I need is an instrument that I can use to play around strumming different chords till I get just what I need for my next song. And given the minimal space and paper-thin walls of my apartment, an app for the purpose is often far more convenient than having to break out a physical guitar for the purpose. This app does what I need better than anything I have ever found!!! — I notice that the app has not been updated in years. I hope that this is because the developer has an “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” attitude, which is definitely a plausible explanation given how well the app does what it is meant for. I wish, though, that there was a way that I could be _assured_ that this is the reason for a lack of updates in recent years. — This app will not teach you how to play guitar. But who cares!! There are other apps for that - and this app does not _claim_ to do that!!! This app is a chord test-board for song-writers!! That is what it claims to be for — and for that purpose it is the best I have found so far!! (And pretty good at it.)
