Honestly I don't get the negativity. If this app didn't exist you'd have to find physical material & cut it up by hand. That still may be best but with this you can copy & paste content into the 4 separate boxes then select how many words to use from each. It's supposed to give you ideas. Not write songs for you lol. I've already got 2 song ideas from this I wouldn't have thought of on my own which is exactly why Bowie used cutup. Great app & no invasive permissions. Koodos-

I love this app and it's whole premise and if developed further, it's future promise. There isn't to my knowledge another app in this field in play-store, yet it is a very creative tool using a technique similar to William S Burrows, and later copied by Bowie. I would love to see this go further, like drag & drop cut up sentences to arrange a text that one can then save or being able to rhyme the words with a rhyming dictionary, or even add synonyms to change words. This is a very promising app, there are some excellent rhyming apps on play-store but none that offer the excitement of finding unexpected discoveries that only "cut-up engineer" can offer. I think Gyokov Solutions is an exciting and stimulating developer, their music engineer range of apps are also very unique and I only hope they continue their excellent work on all of these products. I have a feeling they will become big names in the creative communities. Well done guys!
