I’m sorry 😢

Yo it’s alright but there are many better softwares and I feel like even bandlab is better

Ultilisa mucho espacio y borra apps

No me gusta por que tarda mucho en descargarse

I like this app

I wish it would record the music we play so we can make it into songs and hear it again. Otherwise I really like the game. It’s fun to play Music. You guys just need to add the flute to it. It would be a good instrument that people would love to play. I also think that the music that we play shouldn’t continue on for ever.

Add more instruments/synths/beat machines, etc!

Update after update, no new playable instruments or any of that jazz has been added for about two years! Add some more synths, keyboards, drums and stuff to your damn app! This is a nice, beginner friendly app but this has been bugging me. Okay, another thing about this is that the Jam Session feature wont work. I put two of my devices testing it close by eachother. I did what i was told and it still told me i was unable to join the session. Also, sometimrs when you pause the song, the synth/keyboard still plays on sustain until you restart the app, bad job dude really

FuryDaFox here

Hi there, I’d like to thank GarageBand for kickstarting my small music career, it all started with me playing with the digital instruments and sending small, terrible songs to my friends, but over time, I started getting better and better, and figuring out how to insert my own audio samples and stuff. And now it’s led to me moving on from GarageBand… I’d also like to thank everyone who has supported me and everyone who has listened to my music. I will be trying to move to Spotify soon! ^-^

Stay foxy and much loved!!
