I’m just thinking of a few things you could do one thing I would say is make it where you could

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.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! Can you please email me at backpackstudioapp@gmail.com so we can discuss your idea! The app doesn't auto transcribe, and it should only ask you to try it once! Perhaps we can figure it out so you can leave a better rating than 3 stars. -Ed

Impressed

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.

Response from developer

Thank you for your support! I agree- maybe you can select a folder or a multi-select sounds and it auto-loads them all into a new page? email me - backpackstudioapp@gmail.com -Ed

Thank you

I use VoiceOver for the visually impaired, and I used to be able to create videos in this app very easily.
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 🙏

Thank you

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.

Thanks For Nothing

All I want to do is restore a backup from my old iPad, but it seems I need a subscription to do that.
