Description
If you're a songwriter, you probably recognize that melody is usually at least just as important as the lyrics they belong to. If you're a human, you've probably experienced what we like to call "forgetting." Lyrics can be forgotten as easily as they're thought of, which is why most of us (Lil Wayne excluded) choose to write them down. Melody, however, can easily be forgotten as well. To combat this, many songwriters end up going back and forth between a notes app and a voice recorder app while writing in order to preserve both their lyrics and the corresponding melodies. With The Lyrics App, there's no need to switch back and forth between apps while you're writing. You can finally write your lyrics and record your melodies in the same place.
iCloud Backup: All of your songs, lyrics, and melodies will now be safely backed up to your iCloud (as long as you have storage available, of course). If you lose your phone or have to redownload The Lyrics App for any reason, rest assured that all of the songs you've written will still be available and will automatically be synced to your device after you open the app while you are logged in to your iCloud account on your device. This feature will also keep The Lyrics App synchronized across all of your devices that are logged in to the same iCloud account.
Rhyme Generator: Unlock the Rhyme Generator to gain instant access to thousands of rhyming words and phrases at your finger tips. To use the generator, simply highlight the word you'd like to see rhymes for (which you can do quickly by double tapping the word), then tap the Rhymes button that appears just above your keyboard. A list of up to 1,000 rhyming words and phrases will then be displayed on a scrollable bar on top of your device's keyboard. Tap one of the rhyme options to replace your highlighted word with the selected option.
Thesaurus: Unlock the Thesaurus to gain instant access to thousands of synonyms for your lyrics. To use the Thesaurus, highlight the word you'd like to see synonyms for (which you can do quickly by double tapping a word), then tap the Thesaurus button that appears just above your keyboard. A list of up to 1,000 synonyms will then be displayed on a scrollable bar on top of your device's keyboard. Tap one of the options to replace your highlighted text with the selected option.
iCloud Drive: All of your songs, lyrics, and melody recordings will now be backed up to your iCloud Drive. If you've ever wanted to export any of your recordings, this is the solution. From your iOS device, go to the Files app on your phone. From there, tap browse, then select iCloud Drive (if it isn't already selected). In that folder you will see a folder for The Lyrics App, which contains folders for each of your songs. Each song folder contains a text file with the lyrics of the song, as well as a folder containing all of the recordings for that song. You will also be able to access these folders from the Finder on your Mac. In order to utilize this new feature, make sure that iCloud Drive is enabled on your device.
What’s New
Version 2.10
- Date Labels: Song cells will now have a date label beneath the title of the song. The displayed date will vary based on how songs are being sorted. If sorting by Date Edited or Title, the date the song was last edited will be displayed. If sorting by Date Created, the date the song was created will be displayed. While in the Recently Deleted folder, only the date the song was deleted will be displayed.

Ratings and Reviews
I Give It A 10 Star Rating
I Give It 10 STAR RATING how convenient is it especially for an artist to take whatever’s on your mind And be able to write and type it up instantly And at the same time have a record button “Directly beside it that automatically records it so you never lose track Or for example remember a certain sound or beat that you had in your head
Which has actually happened to a number of professional artist I’m sure
The features of the app actually help with Writers Block If you have it or actually speed up the process of getting project, track or song written Just by keeping you organized by having every tool that you need to stay organized and up to date right there.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review! I’m really glad that you’ve been finding this app to be a useful tool with your songwriting. I truly love to hear it. Cheers!
It’s got everything you could need
You ever write a line and forgot how it went rhythmically? Not anymore! You can voice record each line individually.
Struggling for the next rhythm for the next line. Boom! Rhyming dictionary with a simple double tap.
I have four other writing apps (not including notes app) and I never touch them. This app alone with that record feature has turned all of those into wasted money I just keep them for the old works on them. I’ve had it about a year now, so this ain’t some “new app hype”. I got one of those pop up feedback things in the app and felt I owed it the developer and world at large to speak for this apps greatness!
Developer Response ,
D! I really love seeing reviews like this. It’s the only songwriting app I use as well, and knowing that other artists such as yourself have been using it for their songs for a whole year is really special to me. Thanks for taking the time to leave this feedback 🙏🏼 Cheers!
Can’t believe it’s free!
I would happily pay a few extra bucks for a built in rhyme generator you can turn on and off like in the Rhymers Block app— this is way more simple, convenient and straightforward. (And nothing about it pushes rap, hip hop or some music genre on you) Especially the ability to switch lines around, so great! I love the green and black color scheme, it fits my Goat Surgeon brand colors for writing death metal! This is my go to for lyrics writing! EDIT: I made the suggestion and the developer heard me and implemented it. I’m excited to see how the rhyme generation turns out! I think it’s awesome they heard me and acted on it! That’s great
Developer Response ,
Hey, thanks a lot for the great review! I’m glad there’s a color scheme that works well with your brand. As far as a rhyme generator goes… that’s definitely a possibility for an optional feature in a future release. Thanks again!
