Amazing!!

Okay… wow..

I’ve never reviewed an app before, but this one earned it.

I heard about this app on my favourite podcast, Tape Notes, and figured it was worth a try. Without having too much expectation that this app would break me out of my reliance on Voice Memos I downloaded it and I am absolutely blown away. The features are incredible! All of a sudden I have everything organized and even have notes, images, and section markers to go along with my audio clips.

Unbelievable app, truly is going to be a game changer. I absolutely love the note section as well, but my one suggestion would be to include a “lyric section”. I’ve been writing my lyrics in the notes, but it would be awesome to use the notes for chords, further ideas, musings, etc. and have a dedicated spot to put lyrics as well. But that’s a very minor thing (they’ve already replaced my voice memos app and I’m just gunning for my notes app to go next 😅), what this app is already doing is unreal. And I only have the free version.

Absolutely incredible product you guys! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you Michael, really glad you like it! We‘ve been thinking a lot about the lyrics section and we have a few ideas that could make it even more useful than just a separate text field. It’s a tricky design problem that opens up a range of new design questions once you start thinking about it, so it’ll take us some time before we ship an update for it. Again, thanks so much for your kind review!

Fantastic Tool for Songwriters

Tape It is such a great alternative to the default voice memos app for songwriters. Great UI, organisation options, the ability to add notes and pictures. I feel like I’m more likely to follow up on an idea when I can keep everything so organised and easy to access.

The developer rolls out a steady, paced set of emails to you outlining all the functions of the app (including some less obvious stuff) which I’ve found to be really handy. You can tell the team who work on this care a lot about creating a genuinely valuable tool for their peers in the greater music community : )

Cool app

I gave the free tier a go and it’s actually great value, even though I wish the paid tier was less.

Response from developer

Hi John, glad you gave the free tier a try. :) If you’re a student, we also offer a half price student discount. Many music schools in the US have a direct partnership programme with us. Or you just mail me with any proof of enrolment (any school qualifies, doesn’t have to be a music school).

Cool app but….

Subscriptions are insanely overpriced. I’ll keep using Voice Memos.

And now in stereo!

I’ve only used Tape It a couple of times so far, both for outside recordings (a fairground and church bells) and so far I’m really impressed. I was especially pleased that it’s so easy to use Airdrop to transfer files to my Mac.

I’m a musician so looking forward to using this to capture ideas quickly - and the fact I can add a widget to my Lock Screen for instant access is fantastically useful.

Using an iPhone 14, the stereo recordings have real body as well as clarity. Nice work.

Glad you like it and enjoy the audio quality ☺️!

Great, simple, useful app

I really like this app. It's wonderful for quick recordings and musical idea cataloguing. It has become my every day musical sketch book. Takes no time to get going and that's important when you have something happening right now that you want to capture. The interface is simple, intuitive, and aesthetically pleasing. The developer is also very responsive; I reported a bug and he had a new version with a fix in no time. I know some other reviewers are requesting more features, and there may be some room for growth here but the value of this app in my opinion is in doing one thing well without a lot of bells and whistles to complicate things.

An essential app

I hate smartphones, and I have tweaked my phone to have as few apps as possible, but Tape It is essential for capturing music, ideas, songs, and the world around me. It's a memory box for the soul.

Wonderful app for recording bands

I use this app while practicing with three bands. It’s super easy to record during practice then share the mixtapes with all members of the band for easy listening back. Thank you Tape it devs for creating such a useful tool ❤️

Response from developer

That is exactly one of the main use cases we designed mixtapes for, and we’re really glad to hear that it works so well for you ☺️.

Incredible app

I was introduced to this app by a friend at a music rehearsal. It has really helped me save some good ideas and reference back with ease. It’s easy to use and has a sleek design

Response from developer

Nice to hear!! Thanks so much for the kind feedback.

Quality

Suits my purposes very nicely.
