Nice app, but keeps crashing whentrying to export. Running on iPad mini, latest OS. Regardless of how many chords I enter. But does look promising.

I just downloaded the app and I am truly loving the progressions I created in only a short period of time. It has a nice clean, and easy to use interface. The ability to add a random chord, select from 3 chords at the bottom, or customize the next chord is great. For some reason the midi output and the share keep crashing the app on my iPad Air iOS 18.7.2. If the midi export was fixed I’d be in love with this app. I took screenshots to save the progressions I liked them so much. Great app, just needs a quick fix on the midi export and share functionality. Great for chord progression inspiration. Update - the midi export and share features work well on iOS 26.2, the issues i had were on iPad iOS 18.7.2

As a teacher, this app is a great way to let students bring technology into the classroom and explore chords, song writing, and aural/written theory! Also great for personal creativity when you experience writers block
