Not enough songs to purchase
You need to purchase songs individually, but the problem is there are very few songs that can be purchased. Two thirds of the songs are public domain Christian songs/carols. This is not a viable app until the user can purchase more songs.Kikisanfrancisco
Great app! Just what I needed
I’m a guitarist, and really want to work on my harmony vocals. I looked around A LOT, trying to find good ways to practice on my own, because I need to build my chops before I’ll feel comfortable singing with the others in my band. With this app, I’m able to isolate the tenor vocalist, practice his line and then take him out to sing along with group. Often I just keep the alto and sing with her, because that most closely mimics the harmonies I want to do in my band. I’ve been using this about a month, and it’s already improving my ear and voice. Definitely this is the best method that I’ve found for practicing harmony singing on my own. I wish the app had more stars — it looks as though negative reviewers were complaining about the song selection and the quality of singers, which is insane. The singers are very good pros. All you really need from them is to sing in tune, and they do that plus much more. I have listened to the tenor and alto parts on Country Roads, Call Me Maybe and Helplessly Hoping over and over. They’re great. As for the song selection — that’s also bonkers. Most of these are not songs I would sing in my band. Country Roads is a bit corny for my taste, but so what? It’s a stone-cold classic, and I’m learning a ton by singing along with it in my car. The other tunes are a selection of Beatles, Eagles, Paul Simon, CSN, plus gospel songs, folk songs like “Wimoweh” and Christmas carols. It’s hard to argue with the quality of that selection! One tune that I downloaded because I really need to work on it is “Happy Birthday,” because that comes up ALL THE TIME on gigs, and I really can’t sing it very well. My bandmates actually sing it great, but I always fiddle with my guitar tuner during that one. Now, thanks to this app, I can learn a part to add to the mix. GREAT STUFF!!! OK, now, I hope that the developers are reading this, because I do have some requests: 1) A loop function! 2) A way to turn down the band, but not turn them all the way off, just like with the vocalists. 3) New songs. Here’s my wish list — “All I Have to Do Is Dream” and other Everly Brothers. “Nowhere Man.” “Royals.” “Closer to Fine.” “Sweet Dreams” “Java Jive” ... THANKS for the great work!Show lessMrCharlieBird
Amazing; hope they keep adding songs
This app does one thing *really well*. It gives you four-part harmony with light instrumental backup of a small repertoire of songs. You just tap on each of the singers to reduce or eliminate the volume of their track. Very intuitive.
As someone who *can* sing harmony but struggles to hold my part, this is an amazing app. I start by turning off all the other parts and just learn mine. Then I turn on the lead at lower volume while keeping my part at full. Eventually I get to all the other parts at full volume with my part turned off. I’ve wanted something like this for years; it’s amazing to finally find it.
The singers are all terrific and sing without too much embellishment. If you like country/folk style harmonies, I think you will like the recordings. It also has somewhat more creative harmony parts than I would work out for myself.
Three songs for free, then you pay a dollar for each additional. Well worth it. I hope they keep adding to the repertoire.Show lesssubscriber5432
Shows great promise, but needs more songs
This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for but not yet at the scale it needs to be. Being able to hear each individual harmony and understand how it flows with the rest of the song is very important for vocalists and I’ve yet to find an app that comes anywhere close to this one in that field, but the small song library and outdated app design limit this considerably. With these couple of updates though I’m confident this could be the next big thing on the App StoreShow lessNostateblues

Hello--sorry you don't like the singers on the app. All of them are professional studio singers we hired to sing the parts. Streaming audio of several public domain songs on the app are on https://singharmonies.com/ so potential purchasers can get an idea of the singers we use.Small song selection
This app works nice if this song you want to learn is in the small list that’s available. I thought I could actually use my own music library but that’s not the case.rm72s

Hi There, Sorry you were disappointed. We clearly state in the app details that the app comes with three songs and that dozens more are available via in-app purchase. There's no indication there that you can use the app on your own library: that would be a very complex and expensive app, if anyone could create that. If you would like a refund please contact us, there's an email link in the app.Great Teaching Tool
I use this wonderful app to learn harmony parts to teach my class. I cannot read music so this is super helpful, and easy to use. Nice selection of kid friendly songs. So grateful this exists!summerandfallandwinter
Not What I Thought
They only give you 2 free songs to help you out. There’s not really any instruction on how to use the app, and any other song in the app is a dollar. This app is ridiculous. If you’re rich, sure use it but otherwise it’s a waste.Music123:

Hello, Sorry you were disappointed. The app comes loaded with three songs, not two, and the detail page for the app clearly states that it comes with three songs (with dozens more available via IAP). There is a "How to Use" window in the app: tap the menu and you'll see the link for that page. Also there is more information about using the app, tech support, and detailed song information at https://singharmonies.com/. Jane Zanna Discs
