Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the product for its ability to enhance and improve their writing, particularly for songwriting, by providing helpful tools and features that keep their creativity flowing. Many users find the application easy to navigate and appreciate its role in organizing their work and offering valuable vocabulary suggestions.

Thanks Phil, I can certainly appreciate that requiring Internet access can be prohibitive if you often write offline, but being web-based does come with a number of advantages, for one, you can login and access the program and your work from any computer, phone or tablet. There have also been countless updates since the previous version, all of which are automatically updated to your program. If you don't have wi-fi, note that you can access the Internet through your phone if you are within your network or even use your phone as a hotspot for your computer. I hope that helps, thanks for being a user these past years, we really appreciate it.

I actually love the program but

I actually love the program.
Hate that it's not an application available offline. My keyboard reacts to mobile data frequencies near it. Also I live in the woods, middle of nowhere. I don't want to have to turn my internet on to use it.

Thanks Tanya, glad to hear your issues are not with the program itself. I can understand that requiring Internet access can be limiting, but this does come with advantages, one being that you can login and access the program and your data from any device. We will follow up with you in private to see if we can shed any light on this odd keyboard issue you're having.

I've had success as a songwriter, but this is the augmentation

I have written songs, from serious to downright silly, for some of the biggest artists of my time and genre.
"MasterWriter" is the most usable tool I have found, and I refer to it at all times.
There could not be enough stars to rate this magnificent product!

font and size problem

I was treated with wonderful Professional courtesy, and the problem I had was very difficult and I understand that she tried to figure this thing out and couldn't so I sent off pictures hopefully that you can see the problem and they have I hope that if you can fix the size problem if you want to go ahead and increase the size of the screen that when you access the tools that you can use all of the tools that the technology is fixed where everything works such as what you would see in a word program,,
I don't know if this program is new and I'm if it is then I'm sure that there are bugs still that has to get worked out, because I've never heard of this company but what I liked what I saw and the program was relatively very easy to work and everything was working fine except for this one problem which hopefully you can figure out.
you might want to go ahead and change the font and the size set bar to be on the menu bar along with the options instead of having somebody to have to go and fish around and figure out where that font and size set bar is which I found was next to my name which is an unusual spot. it was just by happenstance that I happen to hit on it and saw it. it would be better maybe if you could put it in an area where it could be in the tool the menu bar where people then can immediately set their fonts and size with no problem
I thank you very much for calling me back, I appreciate it the effort that was done and the ability then to go ahead and email you pictures of this problem and hopefully you could fix it
thank you very much again, have a nice day sincerely Sequoia C.

Amazing product being limited by an untrustworthy web platform

I’ve absolutely loved Masterwriter since getting it in the early 2000’s and. Would’ve given it five stars before it became web based. Still there are studios that I visit for cowrites, can you believe it, that have bad or even no internet plus internet can sometimes temporarily be out of service. So I land on 3 Starr’s for an amazing product being limited by an untrustworthy web platform.

Thanks for your feedback Niclas, I'm glad to hear the program itself has been more than satisfactory. I can appreciate that requiring Internet access can be limiting, but I will point out that MasterWriter is compatible on all devices. If you are within your network, you can use MasterWriter on your phone or if your cellular plan includes this, you can use your phone as a hot spot/source of Internet for your computer. Generally speaking, most have access to the Internet through wi-fi or their cellular plan, but I can certainly appreciate that this is a frustrating limitation when that is not the case.

Completely useless

Completely useless. Most of the time I put a word or phrase in, I got no results. It does nothing I can't do myself with a quiet mind & good preparation of the song subject. Waste of money.

Great Program / Great Support

User-intuitive interface and does everything I need. The customer support was fantastic when I needed to recover lyrics from the older CD-based version that I had lost the code to. Great program and great people!

C'mon man!

The only things that I feel are missing, which TuneSmith offers, are a pitch tracker and the ability to search by author. I've written in to MasterWriter previously, but gotten somewhat of the brush off. Because of this, I have to use BOTH MasterWriter and TuneSmith. The thing I LOVE about MasterWriter is the rhyming dictionary and the way you can search points of interest in places around the world to include in a lyric. TuneSmith doesn't have that. If TuneSmith updates theirs, or if MasterWriter will actually DO an update (rather than relying on what's been done already), then I would leave one or the other. Until then, neither give everything I need as a songwriter.

Thanks for your feedback Kevin, we appreciate it, my apologies if you feel as though your previous attempts to contact us were brushed off. I have reviewed our archives and we did respond to all of your inquiries, granted, we have not added a pitch tracker or the ability to search by writer, however, we did provide some ways to accomplish this. I will follow up with you in private to remind you of this and hopefully provide some work-arounds.
