Songtive vs. Piano Companion
So... As I was looking up chords on the Internet, I found a site that advertised a piano chord app (I had never heard of such a thing before). The app? Piano Companion. So, I quickly downloaded the app, which had other features too: a virtual piano, chord dictionary, etc. I had also seen Songtive advertised on the same website (being made by the same developer as Piano Companion), advertised as being the "improved" version of Piano Companion. Without paying much attention to Piano Companion, I downloaded Songtive. I looked at it and realized it had a feature similar to GarageBand: you can create songs and drumbeats (Piano Companion didn't have that)! I was excited, and tried it out on the bus. To my dismay, it said I needed an account (which was free to make, but needed WiFi). So, I made an account at home, and tried it out on the bus again. I was able to sign in, but I realized that the WHOLE app needed WiFi, not just the "share a song that you made" part. So, I went back to Piano Companion. I found an extensive chord dictionary, which was very helpful. Also, there's a button to show "only common chords" (there's some pretty weird ones in the dictionary). And best of all, none of it needed WiFi! I now have deleted Songtive and use Piano Companion only for all my chords. My advice: get Piano Companion, even though you can't make songs on it. It's so much better!
