Why do you need a microphone when starting in the app? Just many problems.
Apple has established a strong reputation for producing high-quality products and developing innovative applications that often set industry standards. Their dedication to continuous improvement is evident in many of the apps they release, with each version bringing enhancements and new features that aim to provide a seamless user experience. However, my personal experience with a specific app has not lived up to those expectations.
Unfortunately, I have encountered numerous issues with this app, particularly when trying to play music. The app frequently malfunctions, leading to frustrating interruptions during my listening sessions. There are times when it refuses to play at all, while other times it skips tracks erratically or pauses without any input from me. This inconsistency makes the app feel unreliable and detracts significantly from what should be an enjoyable experience.
Given Apple's high standards and the premium pricing of their products, I anticipated a much smoother operation. It's disappointing to see such a vital feature underperform. I sincerely hope that the development team is aware of these problems and prioritizes addressing them in future updates. A timely fix would not only improve the app's functionality but also restore my confidence in Apple's commitment to providing exemplary user experiences across all their software offerings.

PLEASE FIX THE SAMPLER.
Im writing this because i deeply care for this app as it has been (one of) my main drive to make my music. For the type of producer i am, im very disappointed as to what this new update has done to the sampler tab and hopefully the folks at Apple or the Garageband team can hear me and figure things out soon. Normally i would create a custom made sample out of something i have exported from my files app, then drag that custom sample into the sampler track and the sampler would read it and it lets me freely use it however i can as much. It seems that function has been left off or seemingly broken because as of right now whenever i try to do that, the sample doesnt register into the sampler and only the "Bark" sfx appears. Ive done this multiple times and tried to look for any work arounds to bypass this issue and i simply couldnt. The only thing that ive found was through the Files app upon searching for the custom sample, i see it in an ".exs" folder thats embedded withing the project file of the song im trying to create (and its in an audio format), however whenever i try to click on it, wherever i try to open (whether the Files app or in Garageband) the app lags out and immediately freezes.
I appreciate the efforts in doing what you guys can in improving the app and all but this issue has been infuriating and breaking me and my flexibility to create for a week and i genuinely hope it can be looked into and be fixed as soon as possible.

Bugs!
I don’t know what they did in the late update but is so much worse now. The app keeps crashing. If I leave the app and come back to it the sound is distorted, grainy, off key like listening to it through a blown out speaker. Tapping a section usually brings the copy past options but now it doesn’t. On the guitar touch instrument, the higher notes do not play unless you close it and open it again. Importing sounds takes longer now. They moved the split and join option to the next side of the pop up so now you gotta tap on more to get those options. Overall the GarageBand experience has become worse.
They haven’t added any feature to it but somehow made it bad. Can we also get more guitar sounds and maybe a way to use the amps and stomp box pedals without having to merge the tracks?
And maybe some wind instruments? What I gotta do to get a trumpet sounds and how do we not have a violin in this?!

Garage band
GarageBand is an app that profoundly influenced not just my appreciation for music, but my creative process and approach to music production. When I first downloaded it, I had no idea how deeply it would affect my life. I used it on my iPhone to dabble with some loops and sounds, never imagining it would become a central tool in my music-making journey. Now, looking back, GarageBand didn’t just provide a platform for creating music—it opened up possibilities that once seemed inaccessible to me.
One of the first things that struck me about GarageBand was its intuitive interface. I had dabbled with other Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) before, but they often left me feeling overwhelmed. GarageBand, however, made me feel comfortable from the start. Whether I was creating a beat or experimenting with virtual instruments, everything was right where I expected it to be. The design is simple yet powerful, allowing even beginners to feel like professionals. This accessibility was crucial in helping me build confidence in my abilities.
At the time, I had a basic knowledge of music theory, but GarageBand encouraged me to push my limits. The app’s pre-recorded loops and virtual instruments were an instant way to create soundscapes without needing advanced skills. I found myself exploring genres I hadn’t previously considered, from electronic to jazz.

I’d like to say something for you to stop doing.
I’m trying to make a backing track on my new song “New School Year” I did some instruments, like the piano and guitar and drums. I was singing and doing the vocals on the app. and I’m trying to put another vocal in the song until this popped up “More iPad Storage”.
And I was crying so hard, but before that, the song starts optimising the performance of my backing track. honestly, you should stop doing this and it keeps making me mad, and I would like to speak to your manager about this. and why do you have to make my life so cruel when you do this? I was in the middle of making a song! I used to love this app, and I can’t remember when I used this app? But stop optimising and stop being a song every time I make a song! I know you make life harder for me and my music career. and Apple, please reply, because I need to know why you do this! (I still use this app)
I’m definitely coming to your office to speak to the manager! but thanks for reading this review!

amazing app but iCloud is stupid
this app is incredible for making music and you should definitely get it :) there’s one thing that’s really annoying though and it’s related to icloud, not garageband. I’ve made a lot of songs on my ipad and I’ve also made quite a few long screen recordings so I don’t have much storage space on iCloud, I have to pay to upgrade to icloud + and i’m not doing that. Google drive (the google equivalent of iCloud) has looooaaads of space, perhaps infinite, and it’s FREE. because my icloud ran out after recording like 2 videos and 8 songs I have no storage space left on my iPad and now the app is glitching and it says I can’t create a song because no storage space, so I delete a duplicate one and it doesn’t delete, so I duplicate a new one and it seems to work, but then halway through making it it just deletes all my progress and the whole song. it’s very annoying and I don’t know if I’ll be able to write a song on my iPad again, unless I buy icloud plus or whatever it’s called. this isn’t something that will be fixed because Apple doesn’t care. they want this to happen so that I get iCloud plus and give them more noney, so sorry this review is long and probably unhelpful to 99% of people but in conclusion, its a good app, but its an apple app

p e r f e c t i o n (:
do i need to say any more?
i am addicted and although it has its limits i literally abuse this app. sometimes i play a 1 second timer and listen to one of my custom ringtones for ages(i have this thing called app limits so i can only use the app for 1 hour every day and then its the end). so i guess i can say 5 stars??? its a good app and i recommend using it. Completely worth it (even though i have storage problems because of all my songs. you can make drums sound kinda like that classic windows error sound (: so anyways you should get the app. Good app, i think you should better install it. if you want a different music app (for some reason) then i recommend minisynth II (but thats another app). sorry for wasting your time with this long review. five stars.
BTW did i spell recommend correctly???

Garage Band
One superb app for any iOS- device previously I have used Cunard & FL STUDIO,but this has everything you need & loads more as it's just Amazing. One thing you do need is good patience to layer your different instruments 🥁 to getting that Pro Sound. I have used this for several years and got it on a iPhone 7 back in 2017, to which I've now judo applied my stuff to my new iOS 15Pro it for anyone that's interested in good Guitars to Drums Ect... I will always go into my Garage Band App & still finding newer thing's that sound really nifty as it's a 10/10 application for the Pro or Novice user as the interface is just very straight forward to all. Why I'm re-loading my older files from my iOS 11 to 15Pro. This has to be best app out there for any genre of music to making your own personal tracks in no time 10/10 Guy genious App. Thank You Kindly 🥁🎧🎹🎻🎤🪕🎧🥁🪕 SOW

I am a PRO and you can become one too!!
Step 1: download every loop/drum/synth pack in the game. (This can take up a lot of space. Worth it though!)
Step 2: PRACTICE, this is an easy part. Just make some synth loops mixed w/drums. Doesn’t have to be good. You can also find loops to base synth off of, or vice versa.
Step 3: create a real song! Recreate an easy song. My song that I recreated was my 4th grade dance class song called I’m in the sun yay yay. Just 3 notes!
Step 4: create your own! This song is custom made. Combine your own tracks with GarageBand’s. Make a drum loop. Mess with the sampler! (Select a loop, and cut it to make a synth.)
Step 5: learn the hard stuff like the scales on the violin and guitars. Learn custom drums, synths and vocals! This will allow you to play better.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to do this. Peace!!! 😇
