Lyric Notepad - Song Writing 4+

Great But ...

I have been loving this app. Everything needed to build my songs all in one place. The greatest app I’ve ever had.

Unfortunately, twice now I have had songs which suddenly wouldn’t stay open anymore. I’m working fine on lyrics and suddenly it throws me out of the app. When I go back in, I can open and edit any file except the one that shut down; as though the file is somehow corrupted.

The first time it happened, after trying a dozen times at least, I just opened a file with a new name (note: it had to be a TOTALLY new name or it would behave just like the corrupted one) and reentered the lyrics because I also had them written elsewhere.

But this time, I was building this song from scratch in the app. Now I can’t get it to open for one whole second. Can’t get a screenshot of the lyrics. Can’t quickly select any options from the menu. It’s just totally unavailable to me and I’m heartbroken. It was an emotional song I had to spill out and now I don’t know what I wrote. Very sad.

I love this app

This is an amazing app! I would’ve already rated it 5 stars before I even found out about the measure mode! And I really like how it has the syllables next to each line. The way it colors rhymes is a really nice touch, and the search bar has helped me so much! I’ve even used it countless times unrelated to the song I’m writing because it’s so much easier than looking the stuff up! My only problem is that it sometimes freezes for a few seconds (but whatever I type while it’s frozen still shows up). Another thing that could be improved on (but doesn’t really matter much) is that it doesn’t know the syllables of numbers. That does make sense, I imagine it would be incredibly tedious and time-consuming to program every number. Plus, it’s impossible to predict how someone will pronounce the numbers (ex: 695=six ninety five/ six nine five). Overall, this app is AMAZING. It’s got everything a songwriter/poet could want!

Edit: I got a new phone and the app won’t open. There’s about a 100% chance that the tens of hours of work I put into this app are gone, and when I open it it only shows me the beginning animation of the pen scribbling a line before closing and going back to the home screen. The most devastating part is that I can’t use the app anymore, because I need it more than ever right now. Still 5 stars; I loved this app while I could use it...

Please do not update

This was a wonderful app. It was a bit buggy, yet still usable and wonderful. I suspect that not having an update in half a decade would potentially be a reason for some of the bugs. Then less than a month ago, as of this review (July 20,2024), version 1.3 comes out. It claims “Fantastic improvements”, and “Now you can completely concentrate on writing songs, poetry, rap, etc.” That is not remotely my experience. You cannot concentrate on anything with the deluge of ads that they have newly incorporated. There was already a pay wall, but a decent amount of the features were still available to the standard user. Not anymore. Even switching to dark mode has now been moved behind the paywall. No adds became full of ads and subscription requests. And still some of the old bugs are still present, maybe all of them. I cannot force myself to use the app in its current form enough to verify all the old bugs, but in my limited usage I have already seen some of the old ones. If you have this app and do not have automatic updates them please spare yourself from this update. If you do not have this app at all and are considering it heavily consider if you need another subscription fee in an oceanic tidal wave of subscriptions. If so this might be a decent app.
