## What is Bandapella?

Bandapella helps singers record layered acapella audio or video, sync takes with collaborators, and export finished performances.

Create a solo vocal stack, build an audio-only project, record a multi-frame video, or invite other musicians to add their parts. Bandapella keeps the workflow focused on the performance: choose audio-only or video, record each part, review takes, sync collaborators' recordings, align timing, and finish with an export you can share.

Use Bandapella to:
- Record audio-only vocal layers
- Record multi-frame acapella videos
- Build performances one part at a time
- Invite collaborators to add their takes
- Sync group recordings between devices
- Adjust timing so parts line up
- Export finished audio or video projects
- Publish and share completed performances

Bandapella is made for singers, vocal groups, choir members, music students, and creators who want a practical way to make layered vocal performances without a desktop studio.

Whether you are recording every part yourself or building with friends, Bandapella gives you a simple place to capture the performance and bring the final mix together.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-01-08*

You have to create an account to use this app. I put in my email, username and password I wanted, and it said “something went wrong, try again later.” I tried a different username and it worked, so instead of telling you that the username is taken, it just makes you think it’s a random error that can be overcome by trying again later. Really bad design, but okay let’s keep going because I want to use what this app has to offer. The new username works, but while the account was being created the little loading wheel just spun endlessly. I crashed the app and reload it, tried to create an account again and it says that email is already in use. So while the wheel was spinning something actually happened. Okay great, I try to sign in and it says my email is not verified. There was no verification link in my email. I go back into the app to see if I can somehow have a verification sent to my email. Nope, nothing. The app just tells me the email isn’t verified. I tried to make an entirely new account with a different email and username and the exact same thing happened. The loading wheel just spun and spun until I had to crash the app again, load back in, try to log in with the new email and again it tells me my email isn’t verified. Again, no verification link in that email either. Checked spam both times and nothing from the app there either. And again, going back into the app gave zero options to have the email verified. Terribly designed app. Might even be maliciously designed to farm emails to sell.

**Developer response:** Hi there - my apologies for the late reply. I'm really sorry about that! This login bug was actually fixed a couple major versions ago. We value our users privacy and most certainly do not release data to any 3rd party. 

Please let us know if you're still having issues, email us at support@bandapella.com and we'll be happy to reset any email or desired username.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-12-23, version 4.1.6*

Doesn’t work. You record something and it just says ‘sorry something went wrong’

### 5/5 — This is really cool

*2025-11-30*

So far I’ve been really enjoying this app. It’s much cheaper than the alternatives and it’s come so far since I last tried it. I had a few issues and the developer was super responsive.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2025-09-27*

This app is amazing, the only thing is sometimes you have to trim your audio recordings.
5 ⭐️

### 4/5 — Probably the best out there for use free

*2024-12-25, version 1.1*

A few problems- can’t set tempo for metronome and dodgy count in and lag
But other wise it’s a solid app and I really enjoy it could see it being the best in a years time

### 5/5 — Fun to use.

*2024-09-19*

I like the ease of use, would definitely recommend for any musician or creator.
