It has simple and understandable tutorials as well. But I wish there was more free stuff. You can’t use the most string instruments, but there are couple other instruments available. If I had the money I would definitely pay for it though! ### 3/5 — Sad *2026-08-15, version 6.12.1* You gotta pay for almost everything. Otherwise the apps fun if your bored ### 3/5 — Would be 5 stars, but... *2026-08-13, version 6.12.1* The app interface is great. very easy to navigate, easy to use, and it's great. One problem with it. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING requires you to pay a subscription. If you don't pay, you don't get any good instruments, and you don't get any good fun. I would like to see almost all of the instruments free, and maybe some random ones (like nonsense) could be behind this rediculous paywall. Please just do some changes. I get you guys need to make money, but find a better way to do it rather than locking almost every single instrument behind a subscription. ### 4/5 — Nice game *2026-08-11, version 6.12.1* It’s a good music making app I wish everything didn’t have to cost money because I can’t pay for all that ### 4/5 — (Good) But One Problem… *2026-07-23, version 6.12.1* It Is A Great App Really But There Is A Problem With It There Are Still Some Bugs Left (Game Glitches)… But Other Then That It Is A Really Good App That I Strongly Recommend For Beginners ### 5/5 — K hllhck mc *2026-07-19, version 6.12.1* Kucvl m l ### 5/5 — I will make many songs buy this! *2026-07-17, version 6.12.1* This has no log in but most sounds cost money but still good! 9/10 Nine Out Of Ten! ### 2/5 — The best *2026-07-17, version 6.12.1* Really chill relaxing and really fun ### 4/5 — Good but one problem *2026-07-14, version 6.12.1* It’s awesome you can create your own songs super good but one problem that is the music sometimes is muted but if that glitch wasn’t there perfect ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-09, version 6.8.13* This app has helped me make many songs, but there should be more instruments for free so I can really expand my creativity. It might also make this app more popular ### 3/5 — I *2026-07-05, version 6.12.1* I REALLY wanted to make phone but it costs money ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay *2026-08-12, version 6.12.1* You need to pay for literally everything ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2026-08-12, version 6.12.1* Ts sucks ### 1/5 — Thank you for everything & nothing. *2026-07-25, version 6.12.1* Lemme tell you rn, this app’s instruments are VERY subpar. They come as a preset, you can’t upload your own instruments at all, & even if you could, that’d ALSO be locked behind a paywall. I was loyal to you guys since 2018, but every time i would show the pieces i made from this app to others, they made fun of me. It made me lose a LOT of my self esteem in myself & composing in music. Also, the limited options for instruments that aren’t paywalled aren’t as any better than the ones that have been in the subscription (YES, I HAVE CHECKED). This year I turned to another DAW, & then I realised I was using the WRONG DAW THE ENTIRE TIME. I do not recommend this DAW, even though it’s *technically* free & easy to use. If you want to make chill beats, go for it, I suppose. However, fast beats don’t work well whatsoever on this app if you want to try out something like breakcore. I’m listening back to my old songs made last year rn, & they fit PERFECTLY within that genre. Save your money regardless. ### 1/5 — It is STUPID *2026-07-25, version 6.12.1* So today I was making a addition to my FIRST song and out of nowhere a VERY important part of the song got fully deleted ### 1/5 — Gg but why? *2026-07-24, version 6.12.1* I need a boop for the songs can you pls pls pls pls pls pls pls add them ### 1/5 — Super difficult *2026-07-11, version 6.12.1* They didn’t give you much for free and it’s just really hard to work with at least for me as a person that has never done musical before ### 1/5 — Idk *2026-07-09, version 6.12.1* Is it just me cause i can’t hear anything with or without headphones ### 1/5 — Huh *2026-07-06, version 6.12.1* Make absolute no sense ### 1/5 — Click bait *2026-06-26, version 6.12* Have to pay to get basic instruments. Everything else is locked. ### 1/5 — WHY IS ALMOST EVERYTHING MEMBER EXCLUSIVE!?!? *2026-06-01, version 6.11* Some creators let the player have the full app while others lock it away in a greedy trial like you! REMOVR THE MEMBER EXCLUSICE!!! I DESPISE IT BECAUSE IT LOCKS AWAY A LOT OF TYPES!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helped me a lot *2026-08-23, version 6.12.1* It is the perfect app and it’s simple and hard to make smoother fades makes it so easy to make my preference since I can’t make anything that I can’t customize ### 5/5 — Music making *2026-08-21, version 6.12.1* Medly is super fun you make funny silly or stupid song I love the beats theyhave and it sofuni recommend it! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-18, version 6.12.1* I spent a while looking for good free mobile music makers, this is exactly what I was looking for. There’s a tutorial and everything. I would probs subscribe (you kinda need to do get the best instruments) if it was a little cheaper. ### 5/5 — incredible app, even for free *2026-08-17, version 6.8.13* this app has turned me from a high school violinist into an EDM producer at 15 years old- it’s the only program i understand well enough to use, and i love it for that. it’s allowed me to pursue my passion for music beyond anything i ever could’ve imagined three years ago when i downloaded this. i recently paid for a yearly subscription cause i just had to have all the sound packs, and it’s paid off tremendously! i just finished the best song i’ve ever made, using all those new sounds i just unlocked. thanks so much, medly team! the only additional thing i could ever ask for would be the ability to add a glissando effect between notes, as the pitch bend tool isn’t quite accurate enough to do this quickly and easily. i think this ability would be the cherry on top of the awesome cake that is the app :) thanks so much y’all!! 8/17/26 edit: still ADORE this app, best DAW for iOS of all time, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add some kind of tempo automation and even more importantly MORE TIME SIGNATURES. i seriously need to be able to change how many beats there are per measure- i need to be able to make things in 3/4 or 5/4 or 9/8 or 7/8 etc etc… been paying for the yearly subscription for like four years now, i’m begging you guys i need this 🙏😭 ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-08-16, version 6.12.1* If you make your plan a little bit less per year, it would be perfect ### 5/5 — Great but *2026-08-06, version 6.12.1* So like i used this app for a while but the options are limited like most you have to pay for and they actually sound great :( Also i used it and its good but PLEASE!!!! MAKE MOST THE INSTRUMENTS FREEEEEEE… 🥺🥺 ### 5/5 — Pls add more discoplugg I love it *2026-07-31, version 6.12.1* Hi I guess you listened to me for a new update request I mean this. Like this is a good song like there has never had an update here but now you listened to me and I’m sure people love the new songs like this was good we never had a TikTok like song this is cool thank you. ### 5/5 — AMAZING I LOVE IT! *2026-07-26, version 6.12.1* THIS IS AMAZING I LOVE THIS APP NOW I CAN MAKE MUSIC ### 5/5 — Easier to understand *2026-07-25, version 6.12.1* This app makes it easier to create music than all the other ones. Other music creating apps are so hard for me to understand for some reason. This app, though being limited due to having to pay for most things, makes it so much easier for me to make music. ### 5/5 — Good game 👍 *2026-07-23, version 6.12.1* Making music is fun now!
