ChordFlow

This app is very useful for sketching out a song. There’s a slight learning curve but once you figure it out it’s easy to build your song parts with melody and harmony, without having to mess with a more complicated DAW like GarageBand. Most importantly tweaking your chords/notes is fast and easy which lets you iterate fast. And all the chords you need are available. Some nice to have additions would be: * Add a basic drum machine sequencer * Allow the melody to reach lower notes (basically so you could create a bass line with it) * A few more sounds * Being able to use voices in amounts similar to the notes of the chord for arpeggiation (so 3 notes for a C chord, and 4 for a C7 for instance) without having to change voices. Keep up the good work!

I understand basic music theory but my understanding of the theory behind chord progressions is limited. My limited understanding is that staying within a key can be musically limiting. I’ve been on the hunt for an app that allow you to put together progressions in a less limited, flexible way. ChordFlow provides an attractive, flexible, intuitive interface for sketching interesting chord progressions

This app is a joy to use, whether you want to quickly sketch out an idea, or carefully compose a full song. I can happily spend hours on it. The examples that come preloaded with the app make it really easy to get started. It may be my imagination, but I am noticing some annoying little quirks like occasional tone and volume inconsistencies after the addition of the multi-timbral sound engine. I would also like it if in arpeggio mode, there was a way to check what the available notes are at any given time. Using that mode sometimes feels like trial and error. Being able to see the notes would make chord selection easier. Addressing these two issues would bring the app back to 5 stars for me.
