### 4/5 — What’s up with all the sadistic and creepy titles?

*2022-07-31*

What’s up with all the sadistic and creepy titles? Who made this app the devil? The developer needs to be on suicide watch.

### 1/5 — ????

*2021-11-17*

Sup musicshake listen I really want my old songs I made a decade ago on my windows laptop. 400$ for 20 songs I made seems a bit much. I want rights to the songs I made. But you have abandoned ship it seems. This app and everything is no longer alive and well. It makes me sad.

### 2/5 — Not at all the same as the old one.

*2020-07-04*

I remember creating some cool tunes on the old music shake website before it shut down because of flash. When I heard about a mobile app I was so happy, but this isn’t what I was expecting. You don’t get to create music the way you did before, you don’t get to place down whatever instrument you want in whatever place and tempo you want, now it’s all made for you... what happened?

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2019-08-04*

Love using this app. The only downside is that a lot of the time, songs sound the same.

Really hope genres like Disco, Synthpop and Techno can be added.

### 5/5 — Yes. Just yes

*2017-02-25*

Finally! I can listen to music that fits what I'm feeling or where I am! QwQ this app has made my day!~
