It’s been a while since I blogged about songwriting or Android, so in this post, I’ll cover some of the Android apps I’ve recently discovered that would be useful for songwriters in particular. If you haven’t checked out the previous post on this topic, you can do so now by clicking here.

Dictionary - Merriam-WebsterGreat app to get word ideas when searching for alternative words to use in your lyrics. The app provides synonyms, antonyms, example sentences, audio pronunciations and more to help refine your lyrics.

ThoundsThis is the app for the Thounds community – a cool service to record your musical ideas, share them with others and collaborate together to create songs and music. You can also export your creations to soundcloud by connecting your Soundcloud account with Thounds.

SoundCloudSoundcloud itself has a neat android app to access your Soundcloud account on the go. By setting your account to “private”, you can use it as your personal cloud drive for your song ideas. If you’re the social type, you can always use the app to share your creations on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Foursquare too.
