### 2/5 — Perfect

*2025-05-26, version 2.9.3*

Re-edit, what happened, was good for Music Generation, why you changed?????

### 2/5 — Music App

*2025-02-05, version 1.7*

Where has the songs creations gone?

### 4/5 — Is this still a voice to music app?

*2025-01-24, version 1.7*

I don’t know why it’s no longer generating music and just AI voices is thus reserved for paid only?

### 3/5 — Songs not available anymore

*2024-12-04*

There are no more song generator anymore. Will another app for song generator be out.

### 1/5 — What’s up with this update

*2024-11-28*

This app use to create AI music and worked well. I paid a lot for the subscription. Now it is just text to speech app that you can get online for free. Scam !!

### 4/5 — AWESOME

*2024-10-15*

Thsi app is absolutely brilliant!!!! 5/5 
The songs you get are dope
BUT CANT MAKE AS MANY YOU WANT? Even with subscription 
Why???
I meet to wait 170 mins!

### 3/5 — Fantastic example of AI but sadly has serious flaws.

*2024-09-24, version 1.5*

The music generation is amazing, however it often fails to complete some compositions so they stop abruptly - usually when you find one that's extremely good.  Every time you run the compilation generator it's a lucky dip, and you can't rerun with any minor changes.  Also which makes the above issues even worse, is it throttles usage by doubling the time you have to wait between submissions.  I'm now at several hours after paying for a weekly subscription!!!  Cancelled my subscription after 1 day.

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2024-08-26, version 1.4*

Too expensive

### 3/5 — Enhancing Song Editing

*2024-08-26, version 1.4*

I think you should add an option to edit the lyrics of a song while keeping the same voice and instrumental. This would be useful, for example, if we accidentally use the wrong words or need to adjust the lyrics to better match the accent in our dialect.

Currently, if we edit the text, it generates a new song with a different singer. There's no option to edit the lyrics and accent while preserving our preferred voice and music.

I hope you consider this in your next update for a better experience.

### 1/5 — wie schade

*2024-08-18, version 1.4*

zuerst freute ich mich: gut und einfach. trotz teuren abos wird eine wartezeit zwischen der letzten und der nächsten titelgenerierung eingeblendet. so lange kann man die app also gar nicht nutzen. der hammer ist dabei, nach jedem weiteren titel wird diese wartezeit VERDOPPELT(!) - die ersten titel sind also flott generiert. bis man ganz schnell auf 15, 30, 60, 120, 320, 640 minuten nutzlosigkeit der app kommt. also titel erstellt und mehrere stunden warten, bis man weiter mit der app arbeiten kann. da natürlich die hälfte der titel nichts brauchbares werden, weil sie bspw. mittendrin einfach abbrechend enden, ist diese app somit völlig unbrauchbar. 

fazit: eigentlich gute app vom entwickler künstlich unbrauchbar gemacht. bis man da seinen titel mal gefallend heraus bekommt, vergehen tage und das teure abo will man nur noch los werden. sowas sinnloses hab ich zum glück noch nie im app store gesehen.

### 1/5 — Something went wrong

*2024-08-14, version 1.4*

I paid for it but it says something went wrong. There is an error.

### 4/5 — Limited Song’s Length Only 2 minutes max

*2024-07-30, version 1.3*

Hope you can extend the generated song’s lenght to more than 2 minutes. Lyrics are often cut off when it reaches to more than two minutes. Albeit, a great app.

### 1/5 — Скам , списали деньги и все . Приложение просто не работает

*2025-10-05, version 2.9.3*

Просто списали деньги , пишет ошибку соединения с интернетом при любом действиии

### 1/5 — Kein Export als mp3 möglich

*2025-09-15, version 2.9.3*

Kein Export als mp3 möglich und damit für mich nutzlos!

### 1/5 — I feel deceived

*2025-06-24, version 2.9.3*

While the app has a clean interface and a promising concept, I was disappointed to learn that it only allows for 50 minutes of text-to-speech usage. This limitation was not disclosed at the time of purchase, which I consider misleading. After paying for a full annual subscription, I feel deceived.

Unless this issue is resolved in the near future—either by removing the cap or clearly justifying and communicating it—I would like to cancel my purchase and request a refund. Please provide a response regarding how this will be handled.

### 1/5 — App changed

*2025-05-25, version 2.9.3*

They changed their APP business model from generating music to creating voice text only. I have songs I want to download off the app but can’t.

### 1/5 — A true limited free trial 🙏

*2025-03-30, version 2.4*

A true free trial without committing payment details would help assess if this app is OK. Can’t even try it without clicking purchase 😞 
Might be a worthwhile app 🤔 but who knows❓

### 1/5 — H

*2025-03-06, version 2.2*

Its not free

### 1/5 — Update deleted files

*2025-02-26*

I’m working on a children’s book and copy pasted multiple versions along with my favorite voice Lily to find out today they updated the app, my saved library is totally deleted and only 1/3 of the voices remain. I will not be resubscribing

### 1/5 — Voz horrorosa

*2025-01-17, version 1.7*

Tienes que esperar un rato para que se genere el audio y cuando finalmente lo hace, la voz es horrorosa, tienes varias opciones pero la verdad ninguna buena. Leer lee pero te darán ganas de coger el libro y leerla tú en voz alta por no escuchas el horroroso sonido que se genera. No tienen tiempo de prueba así que o pagas la versión weekly o la anual allá tú 

Muy mala, es tirar el dinero.

### 1/5 — bring back song generator feature

*2024-12-23, version 1.7*

bring back song generator feature

### 1/5 — AWESOME

*2024-11-29, version 1.7*

Had to modify my review from a good one in a not so good one 
What happened??
This is just a voice generator now! It was my fav app now just a voice generator!
Why can’t I create music anymore?
I WOULD LIKE A REFUND ON MY SUBSCRIPTION PLEASE! It’s not what I paid for !

### 5/5 — text to speech app

*2025-04-07, version 2.7*

### 5/5 — Best speech generation app, ever ❤️

*2025-02-19, version 2.0*

This is the best speech generation app, reading has become much more interesting))

### 5/5 — Not working

*2024-12-15, version 1.7*

Updated the app now I can’t generate anything 
Not respond to anything

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2024-09-15*

Thsi app is absolutely brilliant!!!! 5/5 
The songs you get are dope

### 5/5 — Awesome app but could use an improvement

*2024-08-17*

I absolutely app this app! I use it to randomly compose songs to use for my channel so I can use originals instead, and also so I don’t need to take time to create songs because as someone who used to create original songs time ago, it’s a process.

One thing though: would be nice to have the option to reuse a specific tune that was also created via the app. I had made one and I wanted to use that same exact tune for a longer version. Maybe that’s something to look at? The song is still in the app, would want to reuse it for a longer song.

### 5/5 — Re: choosing the same melody

*2024-08-11, version 1.4*

I wish there’s a way to choose a melody instead of randomly generating music. Like if I like the song already but would like to add a few more verses. If there’s an option to pick the same melody, then, that would be cool.
Also, having it’s own accompaniment without the voice so that I could sing along with it.

### 5/5 — Koto ai is Best app for me

*2024-07-30*

It’s really easy for me to create song without paying heavy money and time to produce music. I am simply doing with one click on koto app. It will create memorable songs with time. It will be good if ai use my voice n produce some song more feeds and inputs needs to make more effective of app but still it’s a revolutionary app. Thanks ai Thanks koto Thanks all the teams working on it.

### 5/5 — perfect!

*2024-07-28, version 1.3*

problem solved!perfect!

### 5/5 — KOTO AI song generator is amazing

*2024-06-22, version 1.3*

I write songs in traditional way. It takes me days, weeks, months and even years before I can release them. I collaborate with my musician friend and another artist. KOTO AI is my first AI song generator. It amazes me. It generates songs in a few minutes. That is amazing. It plays music, it composes the song and it also sings. 

What an amazing AI song generator! With this technology, everyone can be songwriter.

### 5/5 — I have said so much fun with this app

*2024-06-21, version 1.3*

I have had so much fun with this app writing different songs to different people how they make me feel. It’s been great to express my feelings to people in a funny way.
