But now, unfortunately, I can no longer create a video. When I press the “Video” option, an issue appears, whereas before it would give me the option to add an image or write text. This feature was very important to me, and now it doesn’t work at all. I hope the app’s management fixes this issue as soon as possible, because we rely on it a lot 🙏 ### 4/5 — Thank you *2026-05-14* hello I use VoiceOver for the blind, and unfortunately in the latest update the Clips issue still hasn’t been fixed. Whenever I open the Clips tab, the app completely stops working. We hope you can resolve this issue as soon as possible and pay more attention to accessibility for blind users, as we rely on the app completely. **Developer response:** Please send me an email asap at backpackstudioapp@gmail.com and we'll get it sorted out! ### 4/5 — Thank you *2025-09-19, version 2.0.5* Hello, I’m a VoiceOver user (screen reader for the blind), and I’d like to share my experience with the *Backpack* app. This app is *very helpful for video editing*, especially for blind users, because it’s *one of the very few apps compatible with screen readers*. It has made it much easier for me to create videos with text and audio. However, I have an important *note*: When I create a video and add *text on the video*, then share the video and try to read it using *image or video reading apps*, the *text that appears is different* from the one I originally wrote in Backpack. I really hope the developers can *fix this issue*, because I rely on this app and don’t use any other for editing. Please consider supporting blind users more, and thank you for creating such a useful app. مرحبًا، أنا أستخدم *التعليق الصوتي للمكفوفين* (VoiceOver)، وأحب أن أشارك تجربتي مع تطبيق *Backpack*. هذا التطبيق *مفيد جدًا في المونتاج*، خصوصًا لنا كمكفوفين، لأنه من *القليل جدًا من التطبيقات المتوافقة مع التعليق الصوتي*. وقد ساعدني كثيرًا في إنشاء مقاطع فيديو بطريقة سلسة وسهلة. ولكن لدي *ملاحظة مهمة*: عند إنشاء فيديو وإضافة *نص مكتوب عليه*، ثم أشارك المقطع، وأقوم بقراءة الفيديو باستخدام *تطبيقات قراءة الفيديو والصور*، يظهر *نص مختلف* عن النص الذي كتبته داخل التطبيق. أتمنى من فريق Backpack *حل هذه المشكلة*، لأنني بصراحة لا أستخدم أي تطبيق آخر غيره، وأتمنى منكم *الاهتمام بفئة المكفوفين* أكثر، والتعاون معنا لتحسين تجربة الاستخدام. وشكرًا لكم على هذا التطبيق الرائع. ### 4/5 — Great App for Podcasters, but… *2025-04-11, version 2.0.5* This is a great app for podcasters and has a lot of great tweakable settings for your audio and soundboard. The only issue I’ve run into lately is using an interface with more than just 2 in/2 out. For example, the vocaster two has multiple ins and outs, and even with dual mono mic setting enabled, I still only get audio through one side of the audio file. Additionally, if I turn this setting off, I get some kind of audio interference. If it could be updated to handle interfaces with more than 2 in/2 out, this would be the perfect app for podcasters. The only other recommendation I would have would be perhaps an in app purchase for multi-track output for further editing of the audio once recording has been completed. ### 4/5 — Keep up the good work *2025-03-17, version 2.0.5* Great little app get to do live radio presenting on. Helps disabled people who want to do volunteer work. Keep up the good work ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-03-06, version 2.0.5* This has been my go to app when using my phone for podcasting. It is very easy to use and makes my job a lot easier. ### 5/5 — I love Backpack Studio... *2025-01-30, version 2.0.5* I love the Backpack Studio Application. It is fun, to use. it is very accessible, and a very clean interface, and I love it. What I’d like to see in the settings, area, the ability, to not only delete the account that you’ve created with backpack studio, using your Apple ID along with the sign out option as well. it is 100% accessible and I totally love it and it’s fun to use for interviews, live streaming, and making recordings. Thank you so much. I strongly recommend fixing the bug that causes backpack to crash when trying to live stream to a Internet based radio stations, external server. ### 3/5 — Backpack Live is down *2024-12-12, version 2.0.5* The programme is really great, but three days ago backpack live stopped working, although the subscription is valid and the Icecast server still shows the administrative page. The stream URL of the subscription is no longer functional. However, the programme can still run with your own icecast server. ### 5/5 — Genial para podcasters *2024-11-06, version 2.0.5* Un app para grabar en cualquier lugar los podcast ### 5/5 — Mngr *2024-11-05, version 2.0.5* The best ### 2/5 — Seit iOS18 Störgeräusche *2024-09-30, version 2.0.5* Ich nutze die App jetzt schon seit Jahren für meine Aufnahmen. Leider habe ich seit dem Update auf iOS18 Störgeräusche in den Aufnahmen. Am Mic liegt es nicht. Mit anderen Apps bekomme ich saubere Aufnahmen. Schade. Aktuell leider unbrauchbar. ### 5/5 — Genial, 100% recomendable para podcasting *2024-08-23, version 2.0.5* Es la aplicación que necesitaba, ya no me compro la mesa de mezclas puesto que realizo mi podcast sin invitados. Una maravilla, fácil de usar, tiene todo lo que es necesario y la calidad del sonido excelente!!! NO lo dudes! ### 3/5 — In Ordnung, aber fehlerhaft *2024-07-28, version 2.0.5* Generell eine nette App, mit der sich gut aufnehmen lässt. Ich habe mich mittlerweile etwas reingearbeitet. Ich als Anfänger würde mir wünschen, dass es irgendwo Videotutorials gibt. Mit einer Schritt für Schritt Anleitung, wie man am besten vorgeht und welche Möglichkeiten es gibt. Was mich aber doch ärgert ist, dass die kostenlose Soundbibliohek nicht funktioniert. Die Sounds sind nicht ladbar. Es erscheint immer die Meldung: „Cannot import Track. The file „(xxx)“ couldn‘t be opened because there is no such file.“ Für fast 10 Euro könnte man erwarten, das alles funktioniert. Wäre schön, wenn das repariert wird. ### 5/5 — Excellent app for podcast or radio mavens! *2024-07-18, version 2.0.5* This wonderful app is like a Swiss Army Knife for podcasters and radio producers. It does just about everything… songs, beds, jingles, promos, interviews all at the touch of a button. It even turns audio into video (radio to post on Facebook)! Backpack is a great app, and is unique in the app world. Nothing comes close.

It is extremely slow and I'm not sure it would even work now for broadcasting or recording audio. It even takes a couple of minutes to just load a sound into a pad. I think this issue really does need addressed as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — No response from the developer. *2025-08-16, version 2.0.5* I wonder if they only respond here. ### 1/5 — Falla la app *2025-03-20, version 2.0.5* No me deja entrar a la librería gratuita. Inmediatamente me saca de la app ### 1/5 — Doesn't meet security standards for google drive *2025-02-09, version 2.0.5* Backpack Studio doesn't adhere to Google's security standards, so if you're hoping to use this with google drive, it likely won't work. I store all of my content on google drive, and it won't work at all. Google actively blocks the app from logging in if you have 2FA enabled. ### 1/5 — Warning- Paid features not working! *2024-02-01, version 2.0.5* The paid features do not work following IOS17 update. Contacted developer who responds asking for details then does nothing to fix the issues. This has been going on for months now. Apple - App should be removed from App Store until the developer takes action and problem is sorted! ### 1/5 — Is this App still good? *2024-01-11, version 2.0.5* Dear Backpack studio. There is something wrong with this App. I used it easily, seamlessly, and even enjoyably in the past; but now it doesn’t work despite that I paid the subscription! Please, fix / correct any glitches that are affecting it. This App is a great concept and idea ! But right ( January 11, 2024 ) now is useless. ### 1/5 — Subscription killed this app *2023-11-27, version 2.0.5* These days, developers are noticing that the high cost of subscription models is deterring their sales. To combat this, many are introducing the option of a one-time purchase. However, Backpack Studio App has not followed this trend; they've phased out their previous version in favor of a mandatory subscription model. I gave it a try for some time but found it wasn't worth the investment. My intent was simply to entertain my social media followers, yet it appears this app is tailored more towards professionals who rely on streaming for income, which is a mere fraction of the market. Most users are essentially wasting money in pursuit of an unattainable goal. The quality of this app was undeniable, which makes it all the more baffling why they would make such an unfavorable decision. It's not just me; many others are discontinuing their use of this app. ### 1/5 — I use to love this app *2023-10-13, version 2.0.5* I have been using this app for almost 4 years , it was absolutely excellent. Everything I needed to produce my show for Radio and podcasting. Then iOS 17 update happend , now I can not retrieve any of my music , commercials, or use the app at all . Anything I click on it flashes and boots me out . I talked to some from the app via email , they tried to help me to get it to work . It sadly just isn’t working at all , and I have now lost everything I had on the app . I have reset my two iPhones and iPad . Cleared everything I had on all 3 , the app still is flashing and booting me out . I don’t understand why or what happened. If you fix this issue I will most definitely be back and use it again . As of right now I am searching for something similar and going back to an actual hard sound board. I really loved this app and am sad I can not use it . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’m just thinking of a few things you could do one thing I would say is make it where you could *2026-06-02, version 3.0.4* Hi. I love this app. I’ve been using it since I heard about it a long long time ago. One thing I would love to see happen is a prompt when you’re recording. You can make it sound like you’re in a car in a building or something like that I know crazy right? By the way, totally love this app is definitely worth what I paid for it. What I will say, though is, can you please make it where you can turn the transcriber off that is so frustrating. We don’t ever use it most of us who use this app don’t use that. Hope you have a great day. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Impressed *2026-05-25, version 3.0.4* I’m impressed with the new improvements to Backpack Studio. However, I would really love to see support for uploading multiple tracks into a crate at once. Having to load one track at a time can become frustrating and time-consuming. ### 5/5 — Backpack *2026-04-24, version 2.0.5* Awesome. ### 5/5 — I’m just thinking of a few things you could do *2026-03-30, version 2.0.5* Hi. I love this app. I’ve been using it since I heard about it a long long time ago. One thing I would love to see happen is a prompt when you’re recording. You can make it sound like you’re in a car in a building or something like that I know crazy right? By the way, totally love this app it’s worth every putting I paid for it. I hope that you’re doing well and I hope to see some things happen soon. ### 5/5 — This is a great place to create music and playlist *2026-03-30, version 2.0.5* Just learning how to use this studio and have a great time pretty simple once you figure it out ### 5/5 — Best in class *2025-09-07, version 2.0.5* Solves many issues lacking from other podcasting apps. It’s wonderfully functional and also creative and simple. Please charge more for the app and avoid the subscription model. ### 5/5 — Great app but *2025-07-01, version 2.0.5* Hi I keep getting an error that says this data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the right format ### 5/5 — A great upgrade *2025-05-30, version 2.0.5* I have been using this product for a couple of weeks now and it works flawlessly. Nice clear sound in the recordings. There is much more you can do with this program as opposed to the old BossJock Studio Program. Ed you knocked it out of the park this time. Can’t wait for newer upgrades for video and Skype. ### 5/5 — Excelente aplicación muy buena *2025-04-02, version 2.0.5* Muy buena aplicación es fácil de usar muy eficiente y tiene una interfaz muy adecuada para su uso ### 5/5 — User friendly *2025-03-09, version 2.0.5* So cool to use with easy commands. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
