  • Stupendous App

    Stone cold brilliant. Been using it to create midi chords for my recordings since '20. The ability to drag and drop a midi file of those chords with proper timing directly into one's DAW is incredible. It's where I begin all recodings. I record a scratch guitar/vocal to a click track, create the Suggester file, drag it into Logic, then create a marker track in Logic identifying verse, chorus, bridge, turnarounds, etc., then duplicate that as an arrangement track, then create a "Drummer" track with Logic's built-in capability. Then I can duplicate and manipulate those midi track to create pads, string parts, etc. I even use the midi tracks to create piano or organ, rhodes, etc., tracks with EZKeys. Suggester's Chord Detector is an invaluable aid for guitarists to figure out the names of chords they play that they do not know names for. Worth every penny.

  • Seems like v1

    It seems like I'm paying for V1 all over again. The Mac test version is so restricted I can't even take it for a thorough test drive. From this side of the desk it's V1 and I already own V1. A $5 discount tp V1 users is really dissapointing and not worth the additional cost. Mathiew did a lot of improvments to V1 but I'd actually like to see what V2 does. Maybe a video in the App Store? Update: Mathieu I wouldn't know about any of the updates since the trial version is so restrictive it literally doesn't work. I'll never upgrade to this version until you make this right, you really just took the money and ran buddy

  • Nice upgrade but confusing price structure

    I loved Suggester and I can tell V2 offers more. However, I have no idea what I should buy. I have a policy that any subscription based app should include making me coffee in the morning and empty the kitty litter to be worth paying a monthly tax. I don’t have a Mac, just an iPad Pro and an iPhone 15 pro max (or max pro, whatever). What should I buy to get all the features without paying monthly? It looks like that’s an option but I don’t want to buy too much or too little and it’s not clear which is which. That aside, the app is great. I guess I am using the free version? If so, it’s pretty nifty even as it is (for those that can play piano, which I can). The advantage of a chord app like Suggester 2 is mental bandwidth. I can play any progression in any key, yet if I come across something I like, it’s like writing in the sand. The app allows experimentation without fear of losing inspiration. I do t know if S2 allows chord input from an external MIDI keyboard. If it does, then I’ll figure out the pricing and I’ll buy it. But I need to figure out what a “key” is and why each has two prices. Actually, I am thinking of buying a Mac Mini, so maybe I should wait and get the key for both, assuming I got the pricing scheme right.

  • In app purchases are goofy

    App is great - but upgrades are stupid. Paid for chord suggestions for iOS... now I have to pay an additional 40 dollars for the features on my mac, even though the applications are quite literally identical. No thanks

  • This has now been fixed - change rating to 5 stars

    Have had full version (unlocked key) of iOS for a while and thought I would get the Mac OS unlocked key version. However in the Mac version when creating custom guitar chord shapes you only get to choose between frets 1 through 3 while the iOS version you get to choose between frets 1 through 12. Hopefully that will be made consistent. My only complaint about the app and only pertains to the Mac OS verssion

  • Losing trust

    I downloaded the first version of this app two months ago and paid full price to unlock all the features. It had most features, except for missing a microphone transcribing feature. Two months later they have a new version of the app and even with a discount (for purchasing the first version two months ago) they want me to spend another $20 to unlock it just for my phone, or $40 to unlock it for my phone and computer. That’s a little frustrating, especially considering that the new version still does not have a microphone transcribing feature. So I feel like I wasted $17 on the first version now. I’m worried if I pay the $40 for version 2, there will just be a 3rd version that they want me to buy again. May need to look elsewhere for a more long term solution.

  • I Appreciate the one time payment

    This is a great app for writing music on the go. Highly recommend. The best thing about it is you only have to buy it once, and then you have it forever. I’m getting so sick of everything being a subscription service these days, it’s so refreshing and greatly appreciated to have another option. Thank you for that! Seriously

    The first version of this app was insanely useful and this version has even more functionality. I especially love the new guitar mode since that's how I usually use the app anyway. Now I don't have to spend time looking up the chords on other sites; I can do it all on one app! Mandolin mode soon? That would be awesome.

  • App continuously crashes

    By Horgé
    The app is great, it really gives you control to build out cords and export them. However the app continuously crashes and you lose everything you were working on if you’re currently in the process of building a progression.

  • restricted features

    downloaded this app a few months ago and actually enjoyed it, never feeling the need to buy the add-ons and i come back to half of the features i used for free suddenly requiring a subscription to use. i totally understand the business model, but please don’t take features away from users!
