Rhymer's Block 12+

I LOVE THE APP!

So I’m not a song writer, I would like to be but I’m not. I still use the app in so many ways, like currently I’m writing a book, it’s basically notes but better! I also use it as a check list.. And it’s like so good. Anyway, I had tried to duplicate the app because I’ve done it with previous apps and I wanted to try, so I messed up and even when I stoped editing the screen it still showed me editing. Any way I was so bummed I had to
delete the app and I thought I would lose everything, so I was reading the reviews (I have a habit of reading random reviews) and I saw the developer response said they had many backup systems so I downloaded the app again, and it said restore from backup! I was so freaking happy it inspired me to write this review! I haven’t run into any problems or any thing, but please download its worth it! And we can do better than 4.8 stars! We need to get it to 5! Thanks for reading, bye!

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for this review. We are so glad that you like our app.
And yes, our ambition is to get to 5 stars too :) Would love to hear more about your experience and what we can do better at feedback@rhymersblock.net.

Great for on the go lyricist

This is by far my favorite app for writing my lyrics on the go and honestly I’ve began using it just as much as pen and paper at home because it’s so much easier to keep my lyrics organized this way. I love the syllable counter to essily identify the number of syllables instead of having to count them out.
And as with any app yes it has its flaws, but they are ones that aren’t detrimental. Like the rhyme highlighter doesn’t seem to highlight the ones that are more slant rhymes but i can deal with that because my ear can hear that the rhyme works. The rhyme dictionary isn’t very thorough and could use a big update but it’s only a slight detour in my productivity to go to an online one such as rhymezone when I get stuck and switch right back over to the app. The thing I would love most to be added in this app is the ability to record a voice memo in the notes for when I’m in a bit of a hurry like at work and can’t type much and the voice to text on my phone is terrible so that would be a very helpful feature. But thank you guys for this amazing app! I don’t write many reviews but this is something I’m very passionate about so if lyrics are your passion too, download this app asap

Not bad…

I don’t hold it against RB. This app does the best job of the ones I’ve tried, but all lyric apps are missing some important features. To be able to play the music track from a small onscreen player would be dope. The player could have, say 6 or 8 generic beats with a tempo control, so rhymes could be spontaneously improvised to a Later replaceable reference rhythm… and here’s the big one:
There should be a way to set the lyrics to a basic timing record. A tool to highlight the syllable that lands on each downbeat and they could be color coded so the beginning of each measure stood out.

I do this myself but with capitalized letters marking the syllable that each downbeat lands on. This way I can read the lyric back real-time with the right phrasing and accents as intended when written. This is ALL-important and where everyone struggles when reading your work back to a beat later. The system could be expanded on and you could also highlight syllables and phrases that are anticipated, syncopated, drag-time, etc.., in effect, tablature for lyric phrasing and dynamics. Someone needs to do this and universalize it.
