Lyrcs: Write Lyrics Poetry Rap 4+

Hey, really like where you are going with this. Love the syllable count along left margin, and the way you don’t highlight all prospective rhymes or interesting word combinations like Rhymer’s Block does. I also like that all rhymes are different colors. Presumably phonetic rhymes occur across song sections? Would be cool. A few changes to make it ready for me to buy: 1) move the rhyme list over to the right side of the screen so it doesn’t obscure the lyrics I already have while I’m searching for a rhyme; I’d prefer if it wasn’t separate window but just another column too with less clutter; so the app is not trying to find rhymes too much, let us sit over a word for maybe 5-10 seconds before you start showing rhymes; 2) show internal rhymes within a line or neighboring lines; 3) add more rhymes; 4) have a looser interpretation of what rhymes to include imperfect rhymes, such as “aim” and “games”. This could be a big app I think. Wish you well with further development! Good luck!

Hey 28dkwoo! Thanks so much for your feedback, you'll be happy to know I took it very seriously and all these changes are visible in version 3.7.0. 

1) The rhyme list has been moved to the right side of the screen. Rhymes can now also appear in real-time. 

2) Rhymes can be grouped by the section they're in instead of grouped by the whole file. Not sure if that's exactly what you wanted but it's included anyway. You can always force a highlighted rhyme by having the words be the last in a line.

4) Looser interpretation of rhymes can be achieved through the Near Rhyme feature. In the bottom right of the editor you'll see a button that allows you create them i.e. aim and games.

Thanks again for your feedback, it's helped shape Lyrcs into an even better app. If you think it's now worthy of 5 stars please consider a re-review, otherwise don't hesitate to reach out through the website (https://lyrcs.app) to let me know how Lyrcs can help you achieve your needs.

I have started using this app, and it is helpful because it keeps count of how many syllables you use. But, I think that this app needs different sections for different things. For example, there can be a section for the chorous, and a section for the pre-chorous. This is very helpful for me because I am very new to song-writing and I like it whenever the app kind of helps you by using sections. Whenever I opened up this app I realized that it did not have different sections and I felt like the app was just throwing me out there and not helping me at all.

Hey Writing Dragon, thanks so much for your review. So glad you’re loving the features like syllable counting! Being able to identify sections is also a great suggestion. Could you try writing the title of the section above your lines of lyrics? Given it’s a free app created to help out the song writing community, a 2 star review unfortunately doesn’t help foster that community. Could I ask that you reconsider the rating?

This app does exactly what it says, looks great, and does it while being a real Mac app. It's exactly what I wanted.

It uses plain text files, which is amazing, because they're easy to backup and I'm not locked in at all.

On top of it all, the developer is extremely responsive. It's the app I would make, but now I don't have to!

Hey Collin, thank you so much for your review and for reaching out to provide many amazing suggestions. Lyrics has a lot of new features today thanks to your requests! All the best in your lyric writing journey.
