### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-05-02, version 3.1.6*

It only records the same track over and over.   See when people say multi track recording that means multiple tracks not we’re going to let you one record one track 4 times

### 5/5 — Perfect app for covering Mumford and Sons songs

*2026-04-04, version 3.1.6*

Best app I’ve ever used, I’m covering thistle and weeds on guitar, electric guitar, and piano. Best recommendation for a music addict like me

### 1/5 — Sketchy

*2025-12-16, version 3.1.6*

Try to export a file and it will load indefinitely until your phone battery is burning hot and diminished. Makes me think it’s doing something other than the stated function in the background.  Deleted

### 1/5 — Timing slipped on first attempt

*2025-07-30*

What I feared would happen happened and is my experience on several similar apps. I recorded a guitar track and then a backing vocal second track. When I then started to add a third track backing vocal it became apparent that the timing of the second track had slipped and was not where I sang it. This rendered the whole process pointless I’m afraid. Summary: I began hopeful because it looked very simple and easy to use but within about fifteen minutes had deleted the app. Sorry.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-06-27*

I understand that when you put out an app, you would like people to pay for it, but if you offer a free edition, then anybody who uses that app would expect it to work properly.

This does not do what it is advertised to do. It is supposed to be a multi track recording app where you could play the guitar and then sing and then sing background and then play a little guitar over that. However, no matter how many times I’ve tried to start and restart it. None of the tracks sync properly thereby making this app, totally useless.

### 3/5 — MTSR15.8.3

*2025-06-01, version 3.1.6*

MT

### 1/5 — One single flaw BREAKS THIS APP

*2025-04-13, version 3.1.6*

FIX THE METRONOME

### 1/5 — latency

*2024-07-28, version 3.1.6*

tracks never sync. not using bluetooth. seriously how is anyone else using this??

### 4/5 — Putting song recorder in Spotify

*2024-03-25, version 3.1.6*

Why can I use it to record songs from Spotify I used to do it but now I can’t do it no more

### 1/5 — crashes

*2024-02-14*

Yeah it’s good if it works unfortunately crashes and completely deletes everything so make sure you save constantly
