Great app to help jot simple music ideas

nearly perfect app!! I have been downloading other music apps looking for something like this! The other piano and guitar apps are good for showing off but this one is very good for getting a simple backing track to write to whilst jotting down lyrics, would have given five stars, but it does not have a setting for songs that start in a minor key. please update to allow songs to start on minor keys and it will be a perfect app

This is a very useful app...

..if you travelling and want to keep working on some musical sketches within the app.
Unfortunately when it comes to actually composing a song it is not as intuitiv as I expected it to be.
Still, overall I can't fault it, especially as the competition is not really offering anything spectacular either.....

But too basic for me

Good for basic pop music , but doesn’t allow you to go further then adding 7ths or 1st and 2nd inversions, let alone combining them. Also stuck in circle of fiths and key signatures

Good if your new to music , not good if your looking for help in writing jazz or anything advance
