Review:

This is as far as simplicity, functionality and positive result can go.
>Simplicity: you don’t need the Help section to operate it, everything is straight forward.
>Functionality: The dictionary, thesaurus, rhyming dictionary, the “Sounds Like" reference, the WordSurf, and the pattern matching tool all combine together to offer one seamless service on a single panel.
>Positive results: You will always get the word(s) you are looking for in whichever search you conduct.

With that being said, certain terms in the program suggested that one needs to be familiar with advanced poetic or musical terminologies. Am talking of terms like; Lexical stress pattern, Amphisbaenic, Elided ... Surprisingly when I search the meaning of the word 'Elided' in the
dictionary, this is what I got, 'imp. & p. p. of Elide'. Further checking of the word 'Amphisbaenic', Not Found, The word you searched for was not found in the selected reference. In my opinion, prior knowledge of some terms is highly needed if one is to FULLY appreciate the results generated.

I however like the creativity that went into building up this software. The BACK, FIRST, FORWARD and LAST arrows take you back and forth to the searches conducted and most of all, the search results are hyperlinked to allow cross referencing and further fine tuning up of the required results. All this made the users work easier and quite effortless.

Wordsurf did get more results in any search I made and one good thing about it categorises the results and in so doing gets much finer results than Rhyme, Thesaurus or Dictionary was able to.

Tips at Startup are great.

Recommendation: Make Rhymesaurus in other languages, I speak 5 languages (including English) I would like to use it in the other 4 languages.

Conclusion:

the perfect tool for all composers, it's a good investment.
