The all-new Lily 3.0 is here! All 18 lilies are now included as standard, alongside powerful new sequencing capabilities. Create music with Lily—a playful music experience for people of all ages. *Featured as Apple's App of the Day* Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced musician, Lily enables you to easily compose beautiful, intricate melodies in a cozy, relaxing environment. Lily isn't entirely whimsical, however; each lily flower is an independent music sequencer, allowing you to effortlessly layer loops of different lengths and time signatures. Lily makes this level of polyrhythmic complexity intuitive—watch and listen as your melodies shift and evolve against one another, creating organic musical patterns. FEATURES • 18 Unique Instruments — Choose from 18 different lily flowers—each one a carefully crafted musical instrument. These 18 instruments are organized into 5 themed collections: Original, Winter, Zen, Synthwave, & Tropical. • Powerful Music Sequencing — Each lily is an independent sequencer; control its petal count, note value, and direction—including a 'shuffle' mode to generate musical sequences on the fly. • Compositional Depth — Chain up to 6 lilies on a single track to build longer musical phrases. Layer up to 9 simultaneous tracks to build up harmonies and complex polyrhythms. • Creative Control — Fine-tune your composition with global tempo control (BPM) and a choice of musical keys in all 12 tonics across 8 different modes. • Inspiration Hub — Browse a library of pre-made compositions and templates designed to spark your next idea or provide a creative starting point. • Save & Revisit — Build your own personal library of lily ponds and jump back into your favorite creations at any time. • Cozy Aesthetic — Step back and admire your creations from a serene, high-level view. Lily's playful interface is designed to encourage creative flow and relaxation. • Everything Included — Enjoy the full Lily experience from day one. No In-App Purchases, no subscriptions, and no interruptions. Peace. –andy.

Editors’ Choice

We never expected a lilypad to unlock our musical abilities. Yet here we are, somehow carving beautiful melodies from a selection of them. Lily isn’t entirely whimsical, however: its lilies are essentially deft musical instruments providing organic lessons in scales, harmonies, and tempo. Be sure to save and upload your compositions, too.
Great Game! But some bugs.

I absolutely adore this game. I happen to be a musician and I've been playing violin for a while now. Arranging and composing songs is hard, but with this app you can get a taste for a good melody! Now, normally I'd rate a fantastic game like this 5 stars, but there are some crucial bugs/improvements to be made. For example, every time I have more than one of the same lily open, or even more than four lilies, not all of them will play. It's very strange, and personally I'd like to be able to add as many lilies as I like without this happening. Second, this game desperately needs a tutorial. I figured it out fairly alright, but I would have gotten the hang of it much quicker if the developers had just taken a little bit more time to put that in there. Finally, one last critique: we should be able to loop lilies and have them come in at different intervals. I get it's a simple song game, but I think this would really help the songs flow better if we could have an advanced option or something where we could do this. Other than that, fantastic game! Keep making brilliant work. :)

Hi Gotter iTunes. Thank you so much for your positive review, feedback, and suggestions! 😊 As of the latest version of Lily (2.0 and later), you can now have all lilies playing on the fastest tempo simultaneously, so you will no longer encounter the issue you described.

This is great, but just a few suggestions.

This is probably the best music composing games on the internet. But I would like to suggest a few features. To start off with, Most songs have percussion behind them. Sure, you've got the option to make a bass line with all of the different sounds, but there needs to be a little more to it than that, we need some kind of new flower that adds a nice beat to the song. Maybe it could be green. But that's only a suggestion. Another is to have a mode with a completely different layout for some of the more complex people that want to add more to their song than just a simple loop, without going through all the trouble to compose different parts of a song and time the switch just right. Again, these are just a few suggestions, but it would really be cool to see these features added into the game.

Hi Xx_Ultimate_xX. Thank you so much for your kind words and suggestions 😊. I have recently made new, additional lilies available to purchase within Lily, which thanks to your suggestions includes two percussive lilies. You can find them in the Tropical and Zen collections. I hope you enjoy! 🥁

Adding ability to export would allow me to rate this quite lovely app 5 stars. Imo, being able to save the audio to files, use it with Audiobus, or export to an iOS daw or other music app is key for me....Sharing a little melody on FB or Twitter is nice for a lotta people, I’m sure but to use this WITH other sounds created from other musical apps is pretty standard nowadays and would be amazing, as the sounds here are super useful and good quality..... All in all, love the sounds and the ability to add layers of melody....Push the app a little more and open the export option and I’ll give 5 stars happily and sing its praises. Update: Due to the developer’s quick and personalized response to some suggestions I had for this graceful app, which I’m sure will now happen, 5 stars.

Lily has been completely rebuilt from the ground up! This major update evolves Lily into a deeper, more powerful compositional tool while preserving the playful nature that defines the Lily experience. NEW FEATURES: • Lily Chaining — You are no longer limited to short loops. Sequence up to 6 lilies in a row on a single track to build longer musical phrases. • Compositional Depth — Highly requested features have arrived, including global tempo (BPM) control and a choice of musical keys in all 12 tonics across 8 different modes. • The Full Collection — All 18 lilies are now included as standard! Explore and enjoy the 5 themed collections (Original, Winter, Zen, Synthwave, and Tropical) with no In-App Purchases and no interruptions. • The Lily Pond — A new high-level view to admire your creation, see your whole arrangement at a glance, and start all tracks simultaneously. • Inspiration Hub — Browse a library of pre-made compositions and templates designed to spark your next idea or provide a creative starting point. • Refined UI Design — An evolution of the user interface. Growing lilies is now more intuitive, and a new 'Compositions' screen shows visual previews for your saved compositions. Thank you for being part of Lily's journey. It means the world to me that you are here and I hope you enjoy the new features :) –andy.
