### 1/5 — Buggy and tricks you into a membership instead of buying credits

*2026-06-05, version 2.2.6*

This app is terrible and buggy, it tricks you into a membership instead of buying credits, and then when you buy credits you cant even use them because it keeps telling me im not authenticated

### 3/5 — Shows a lot of promise!

*2026-01-13, version 2.2.6*

I really like the features of this app. The voice cleanup is excellent. The range of music available is also wide and varied.

There are bugs to work out, however: if a voice recording goes over, say, four minutes, editing it becomes a major pain; if works extremely slowly and there are large delays in which the vocal track just does not appear. Also: it appears the transcriber does not work; it just hangs and works, but never finishes.

### 5/5 — I love this editor

*2025-12-18, version 2.2.6*

I love this editor. It has everything I need and it is super easy to edit content. I had different files (mp4 file and mp3 file) that needed to be added to my podcast and it combined the content without any issue. I was able to make it sound like I recorded it in one sitting and not on two different devices, which is really quite incredible. I will say, however, both files were recorded in the same room. I just used different devices because I wanted to try my mobile microphone with my phone as opposed to it being hooked up to my Mac or PC. I am really happy with the quality of PomPom and I am surprised it isn’t more well-known in the podcasting, video content community.

### 1/5 — Pompom unsupported

*2025-11-05, version 2.2.6*

I don't believe this app is supported. I tried buying sound  credits but they were never credited to my account and the Help contact never replied.

### 1/5 — Crashing and not saving

*2025-10-26, version 2.2.4*

Randomly cutting clips to times where I didn’t cut it and kept crashing?? Bad app

### 4/5 — AMAZING but needs money

*2025-07-27, version 2.2.6*

Hi. I’m a high school student and we had an assignment to create a podcast and my classmates recommend this app. SoI did and I did my whole podcast… only to realise that you need to upgrade aka pay monkey before you download it. But I somehow made it downloaded but when my class and teacher listened to it, it did sm weird where it Wass fine the first 10s and then while it was playing the audio from the start started to like replay. Idk if that makes sense but basically there was like 2 audio playing over each other. Yeah, Im pretty sure that the money thing was my fault but like there are no reviews that really talk about nor did the app info say anything about. So yeah hopefully you read this before you do your entire assignment on their 😭But other than that I think its a really good app.

### 5/5 — Great sound editor

*2025-04-01, version 2.2.6*

I just needed a simple trim work and this is best for that.

### 2/5 — AI option unavailable after I subscribed

*2025-02-21, version 2.2.5*

I paid for the service and the AI tool is unavailable to me and when I click it says that I am in fact subscribed. It’s acting as if I’m not. I reached out and no reply from pompom

### 5/5 — FANTASTIC and EASY to USE

*2024-12-29, version 2.2.5*

I am very happy to see a Free App that is so good and can do the basic editing job so easily.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2024-09-13, version 2.2.4*

I've just paid for a full year and I've had to restart the app several times. At some points the edit doesnt take and restarting is needed.
