App Showcase: AI Song & Cover Generator SUNQ

What it does

SUNQ AI is a music creation tool that allows users to generate full songs using artificial intelligence. Users can provide a starting lyric or theme, choose a music style and mood, and the app composes and produces a complete track. The core function is to transform simple text ideas into listenable music, acting as a creative partner for songwriting and content creation.

Where it shines

One of the app's strongest moments is its collaborative lyric generation. At 00:59, the user taps "Generate Lyrics," and the AI takes their initial phrase, "in your eyes, hearbeats rise," and builds an entire structured song around it, complete with verses and a chorus. Another interesting feature is the dual-mode style selection. At 01:41, the user toggles from "Studio" to "Live," which presents a completely different set of genre options, suggesting a nuanced approach to the generation process.

UX highlights

• Fast Onboarding: The initial setup is incredibly quick, moving from launch to the main app in about 20 seconds, prioritizing speed-to-value.
• Immediate Social Proof: The app opens with a bold "#1 New AI Song Generator" screen (00:02), aiming to build user confidence right away.
• Clear Creation Flow: The main interface is a single-scroll screen, logically laid out from Music Style to Lyrics to Mood, making the creation process intuitive.
• AI as a Co-writer: The lyric generation feature doesn't just replace text; it augments the user's initial idea (01:12), which fosters a sense of creative partnership.
• Structured Input: The app recognizes and uses structural tags like [Verse] and [Chorus], giving users more control over the final song's composition.

Monetization & growth

The app employs a soft paywall strategy but presents it quite early. A user can access the paywall through a top-left icon (00:28) or, more critically, they are blocked by it when they try to perform the core action of creating a song (01:35). The paywall itself is straightforward, offering a single weekly subscription and using social proof in the form of user testimonials to build value. There is no free trial mentioned, indicating a focus on converting users with high immediate intent. The app also uses a custom in-app prompt (00:16) to ask for an App Store rating.

Who it’s for

SUNQ AI appears to be for a few key audiences. First, aspiring songwriters or musicians looking for a tool to quickly flesh out ideas. Second, social media content creators who need unique, royalty-free music for their videos. Finally, casual users who want to have fun turning phrases or stories into songs without needing any musical knowledge.

Notes & opportunities

The immediate, back-to-back requests for notification (00:03) and tracking permissions (00:05) before any value is shown could be jarring and may lead to a high drop-off rate. Introducing warm-up screens to explain the benefits of enabling these permissions could improve opt-in rates. While the main creation screen is functional, it's very dense. Adding some collapsible sections could make the interface feel less overwhelming, especially for first-time users.
