There are few applications like MasterWriter 2.0 on the market. Think of it as an advanced digital word finder, dictionary, and thesaurus—only different. It not only includes highly polished versions of more common tools, but it also features some tools found nowhere else, and the interface allows for a seamless flow between research and writing.

There are two different versions of MasterWriter 2.0—one for creative writers and one for songwriters and poets. This review is of MasterWriter 2.0 for songwriters and poets, which is a version tailored for writing lyrics and poetry.

The application works as a top-to-bottom place for composing songs and poems, finding words, and sketching out ideas. To help in the creative process, it includes a light audio recording tool, complete with drum beats and loop features. It also links up with Songuard, which allows users to register their work prior to getting an official copyright.

Although lesser known in the mainstream market, MasterWriter 2.0 has a strong user-base in the professional sphere. Among its users are Grammy award-winning songwriter Gwen Stefani from No Doubt, 14-time Grammy award-winning songwriter David Foster, and songwriter Graham Nash from Crosby Stills & Nash.
