## Review summary

Autochords is praised for its ease of use, inspiring chord progressions, and progressions saving features, plus built‑in practice aids. However, users repeatedly note key drawbacks: a four‑chord limit, limited chord qualities, and an inability to adjust time signatures or add bars, which constrains more advanced songwriting workflows.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a smooth, intuitive interface.
- A strong source of inspiration for chord progressions and songwriting.
- Built‑in backing rhythm/tempo options help with practice and on‑the‑go creativity.
- Label, name, and save progressions for quick access.
- Free version is excellent and the lifetime membership offers good value.

### Cons

- Progressions are limited to four chords, severely limiting complexity.
- Limited chord quality options (no augmented chords and few non‑diatonic options).
- Time signature and bar count cannot be changed (fixed 4/4, no multiple bars).
