Chord symbols and text not working
I've been trying to use the chord symbols and texts but they're simply not working, they don't show neither sound in the playback. I've tried with the commands and the button on top, I even tried erasing and re installing the app, and modifying the chord symbol format in style, nothing works please help

I don't understand why you would want to use text to enter chord symbols? The Ctrl/Cmd + K command is sufficient on its own. Or maybe there's something more specific missing from your question.
See: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/chord-symbols#Overview
There are no buttons for chord symbols, so I am thinking you might be using the wrong command. If you continue to have difficulty after using the correct command - select a note or rest, then press Ctrl+K, then type the chord symbol - please attach your score here and give precise steps to reproduce the problem.

By buttons I meant in the top bar when you click add → text → chord symbols, I click it and nothing happens. I tried the command K command, also nothing, no text command is working, which sucks because I really need them to finish a big work. Please help

When you select menu Add / Text / Chord symbols, you see this message:
![chord.jpg]( "chord.jpg")
So, you must select a rest or note before starting the chord symbol input process. And not just with the K shortcut, but with Ctrl (or Cmd/Mac) + K

"Yes, I've been doing exactly that, still not working."
Well, works fine here (version 4.3.2), see GIF below:
(NB: for the record, what version are you running?)

Please give us precise steps to reproduce the problem after loading that score. It works for me, but with a quirk I'll discuss below. The steps I followed are:
Result: the chord is entered exactly as expected. However, the display of the chord is a bit funny, because this score has some unusual style settings (lower case minor chords, extension scaled to be larger than root). Assuming that's something you are doing on purpose, though, all seems well.
If you are following those exact steps and something happens different, please explain in more detail at which step the result deviates from what I described. And ideally upload and link to a screen recording so we can see for ourselves what you are seeing.

Erased the app and downloaded again, works now, thanks!
