Precisam rever o app e melhorar ### 3/5 — Vidéo qui décale *2024-10-06, version 1.8* Allo! Quand j’importe un vidéo, ceux que je fais dans l’application ne jouent pas en même temps, ça gosse merci ### 2/5 — Falta sincronia *2023-11-07, version 1.8* Ele tem uma perda terrível na sincronia, o que é péssimo se você quiser fazer uma jam. ### 2/5 — No good anymore *2023-09-04, version 1.8* This app use to be really good but now it lags when you record your second part with another video square. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and it does the same thing. I just uninstalled it again, and this time it’s for good. Give us another studio app plz. ### 3/5 — Love/Hate *2023-08-04, version 1.8* Used to LOVE this app but I’ve noticed that now my videos aren’t in sync and it throws the timing off TERRIBLY ### 2/5 — Lag time and sync issues *2023-03-05, version 1.8* This app used to work great but now the different screens with tracks are not syncing and they are completely off. Why is the app doing this? ### 3/5 — iPod ? *2020-12-17, version 1.8* Est-ce possible de l’utiliser avec des écouteurs Air pod ? Merci à l’avance ! ### 3/5 — Delay/latency problem *2020-12-12, version 1.8* I use this app in school to record my music students while practicing social distancing. Not having volume control in the 3x3 or higher settings is a real problem, you should fix that. I found that turning off all Bluetooth connections during recording will eliminate the delay/latency problem I was having. You will need to turn off Bluetooth and then make sure the app does not have permission to access Bluetooth (go into settings to doo this). ### 2/5 — Crashes and delays *2020-12-06, version 1.8* Can someone help with the crashes that occur when trying to export the songs? What is the planned fix? The volume button only shows On 2x2, and when recording 3x3, there is a delay either before the song or slightly after, plus with recording it plays the previously delete piece while trying to re-record. The app is so useful, and just curious as to when are the bugs getting fixed so that it can be used in maximum capacity? ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2020-11-22, version 1.8* All the 2x2 formats have the volume adjustment when you press play but there is no volume adjustments for the 3x3 formats ### 4/5 — ALMOST PERFECT *2020-06-27, version 1.8* This is a great app, one by far my favorites. The only problem is that I wish I could use my AirPods or Bluetooth headphones. A clumsy person like me lost the headphone adapter for my iPhone 11. So either I have to buy new ones or have to deal with “no so great” audio. Please update the app in a way I could use Bluetooth headphones. Thank you!! ### 4/5 — Want 5 stars? *2020-06-08, version 1.8* I use BIAS FX for my electric guitar sound. It sounds great. I was wondering if you could put inter-app audio support into this program so that I can capture the sound that I need for any given project. Basically I’m asking to capture the bass guitar or the lead or the rhythm guitar sounds into the window that is currently active at any given time. I hope that made sense. Thanks in advance for your consideration. ### 4/5 — H E L P *2020-05-15, version 1.8* I love this App, but can someone explain to me about using the headphones, I’m trying to play my bass and keyboards along with a video of me on the drums that I’ve imported, if I run both my phone and bass into the Amp I get feedback, so where does the headphones come in? ### 3/5 — Need to support Bluetooth mic *2020-04-24, version 1.8* Mark, PLEASE allow this to support Bluetooth mics for iPhones since they are now wireless without an adapter for headsets. This makes recording other parts difficult. Otherwise, a great tool. ### 4/5 — Very easy to use but with synch problems *2020-04-22, version 1.8* Very straightforward. Options for 2, 9, 16 screens. Easy to record each and easy to record over any you donut want. But screens are irritatingly out of synch - I’m recording songs. I’m using headphones so I’m listening to previous recording to match timing but it’s always out of synch.. any ideas?.. ### 3/5 — Hard to use with multiple musicians *2020-04-13, version 1.8* It would be nice if it were possible to export a project in order to send it to friends or fellow musicians and enable them to add their track on the same project. ### 3/5 — Export/Fourth recording slot bug *2020-01-15, version 1.8* I'm pretty sure this bug isn't occurring for the sake of my storage being full; I have about 9-10 GB free on my iPod. I love this app, but ever since last year, I've had an issue with exporting my videos to my camera roll. Whenever I try, the app crashes. This also happens when I try to record for the last slot in the 2x2 format. Please fix this asap; I want to get back to fully enjoying this app again! ### 2/5 — Not great *2019-12-15, version 1.8* This as literally the type of app I really needed, conceptually. However, although the sound quality is great and I like how you can adjust the volume for each square, this app has some annoying problems: 1. It sometimes crashes when you select export. 2. It seems you can only export your work to Instagram, which would be a problem for those who don’t have Instagram. I know it says that you can save to photos but that’s a lie, I’m afraid. 3. You can’t rewind or pause your recording. It’s a shame because, again, the concept is great. It’s just the terrible execution that ruins it. ### 4/5 — Rly gr8 *2019-11-09, version 1.8* I love this app it’s gr8 for someone like me who just wants to mash together a few sounds but should be able to crop sections and make them shorter or move them individually, also would be helpful if it had a metronome in the app but other than those few things absolutely love it and would recommend 👍 ### 2/5 — Awesome App *2019-10-30, version 1.8* This app is truly a blessing to me,it has motivated and giving me the courage to come out of my shell,and start sharing the gifts God has given me Thanks MelodyLab ### 3/5 — Drags *2019-05-26, version 1.8* The 4 block videos slightly drag behind each other!!!! The 9 block videos have good timing but muffled sound!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-08-07, version 1.8* It used to work but now it lags ### 1/5 — Needs an update *2024-05-23, version 1.8* This app used to be a favorite of mine before the timing started to mess up. You can create the first voice no issues but the timing of the second or third voice is always off sync. Needs an update to fix this. I prefer and would much rather use this platform over garage band bc of how simple it is. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Crash, crash, crash *2021-01-05, version 1.8* Je l’aimais cette appli...maintenant elle ne fait que planter. ### 1/5 — Crashes way too much! *2020-10-03, version 1.8* Can’t even get through a full playback without the program crashing every second! Horrible! ### 1/5 — Não consigo exporta os vídeos *2020-06-25, version 1.8* Consigo gravar, mas não consigo exportar, está dando um erro, logo não consigo compartilhar meus vídeos... uma pena ### 1/5 — MelodyLab *2017-02-26, version 1.8* why is it that, i can’t download MelodyLab on my macbook? ### 1/5 — Leider laufen die einzelnen Clips... *2016-08-05, version 1.8* ...nicht synchron. Somit absolut unbrauchbar für Musik Kreationen. ### 1/5 — It won't work *2015-12-31, version 1.5* Hi it won't work on my iPad mini 2 having problems recording it it records for a few seconds then it stops can u help me out please ### 1/5 — Crashes! *2015-12-12, version 1.5* IT KEEPS CRASHING! FIX IT NOW 😡 ### 1/5 — Aw man *2015-07-07, version 1.5* Stopped working after one video. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not adaptable to Bluetooth new phones. *2025-08-25, version 1.8* Please, review this app to accept Bluetooth phones! I love this app, but can’t connect with new phones! ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-07-26, version 1.8* I love this app so much! It’s really easy to use. I use it for quick fun projects, like a birthday song for my dad. It’s just perfect for that. The only thing I would change is the ability to re-record one window. If I mess up in window number three, I have to start all over again. Other than that, it’s so enjoyable to use! ### 5/5 — Yeah! *2020-04-24, version 1.8* Things are going great so far!!! I just tried the 2x2....and it really works!!! ### 5/5 — Yes!!! *2020-04-10, version 1.8* I love this app!!! I’m a choir teacher so I’m able to create the music my students sing. ### 5/5 — Melodizer *2019-02-20, version 1.8* I love this app it’s awesome it really helps me focus on the right pitches and keys I need to sing a better song or any song ### 5/5 — Lovin it *2019-02-06, version 1.8* This is a great app! I love the way we can sing along to other recordings and harmonize to our own voices.it like doing it or making it sound like how ever you want! Trust! You would regret not using this app!🎤💯😎 ### 5/5 — Show de Bola! *2018-08-28, version 1.8* App Top pra quem quer gravar seus vídeos caseiros com qualidade de Studio!
