### 4/5 — One Fix

*2026-08-15, version 1.8.76*

It really needs a search bar in this Mac version when you're trying to find a tune to slow down...the iPhone version has one.

### 2/5 — No more waveforms

*2026-08-11, version 1.8.75*

I’ve been using the app and enjoying it for the past year but now when I add songs in the usual way, there are no more waveforms and so I can’t manipulate where I am on the tune and I can’t add flags or loops. I deleted and reinstalled the app several times.

### 2/5 — Can’t trial ANYTHING without signing up to a subscription.

*2026-07-19, version 1.8.74*

After install you’re immediately shown a ‘purchase subscription’ page that you can’t get past without choosing a yearly plan.  If you’re going to do this, just put a price on it up front.  Was going to compare it to Transcribe! Which is $39 for a lifetime license.  Thought if it has better vocal removal than that I might use it.

### 3/5 — Utile ma non sufficiente

*2026-07-01, version 1.8.74*

Non estrae perfettamente ci vuole un'altra app per avere un risultato decente, comunque utile

### 2/5 — Audio video not working

*2026-06-28, version 1.8.72*

Hi plz explain how do I get my video track after editing the tempo & pitch .
I go to the entire track export & go on option mp4 it does the exporting but after that not show on save video .
Is anything I need to do  ??
Plz explain
Thank you

### 4/5 — Love it

*2026-06-27, version 1.8.74*

Helps my practice

### 5/5 — Great app for learning music

*2026-06-24, version 1.8.74*

I can import a song from Apple Music easily into Transcribe+ where I can work with it as I learn to play the song.  Loops work great and the controls are simple and efficient.  When I had a problem I got good, friendly support.

### 4/5 — Review

*2026-06-23, version 1.8.73*

Hello thanks for adding the ability to change the name of the files. Great app for jazz transcribing 

Another idea I had was the possibility to easily cut up an entire file into loops. Ig I want to have 10 loops then 10 loops would evenly split. Or if I want to have 50 evenly split loops. 

Idk that’s how I work with this app just cutting and putting everything into loops before hand.

### 4/5 — Useful

*2026-06-20, version 1.8.73*

A useful app for slowing tracks and creating helpful little loops to make it easier to learn by ear.  The interface is a little tricky to get to grips with. But after a while it makes some kind of sense. There are other apps out there that do the same kind of things and some do it a bit better. Still, useful all the same.

### 5/5 — Apple Music Playlists - Gone?

*2026-06-19, version 1.8.73*

I’ve been using this app for years, and love how easy it is to use. 
However, the most recent update no longer allows access to Apple Music playlists. Why?
This has been key to my practice workflow. Can you please restore this?

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2026-06-18, version 1.8.73*

I use it constantly to slow down songs so that I can understand how to play. Huge thanks to the developer for making such a perfect app. The only thing I could think of in terms of improvement would be the ability to easily transfer uploaded songs between the MacOS and iOS versions.

### 2/5 — Song editing

*2026-06-11, version 1.8.72*

I am not getting my video tracks after editing.
Is there anything I am missing ??

### 5/5 — Essential

*2026-06-03, version 1.8.70*

I find this app essential for learning and practicing music.  A game changer.

### 5/5 — 你好开发者 能不能新增一个可以增减音量的功能 最好能给音频加增益 有的音频声音很小

*2026-06-01*

你好开发者 
 能不能新增一个可以增减音量的功能 最好能给音频加增益 有的音频声音很小

### 5/5 — Top Rated App

*2026-05-29, version 1.8.70*

Man I’ve been using this app for a few years, and literally since I was young I always wanted to make these types of edits to a song

### 5/5 — Couldn’t be more satisfied!

*2026-05-27, version 1.8.69*

Excellent for learning songs

### 5/5 — Sehr gut

*2026-05-26, version 1.8.69*

Echt

### 1/5 — What?

*2026-08-03, version 1.8.74*

No more free plan ??  🤢

### 1/5 — Help with problems

*2026-06-04, version 1.8.71*

Developer doesn’t get back to you if you have questions or issues
Other app developers I have used get back to you within a few days.
This one totally ignores you and hopes you go away.
I have waited up to 2 weeks repeat concerns to them still ignored me.
So use the app but beware any issues they aren’t getting back to you.
Leaves me with sour taste to invest in any other of their apps.

### 1/5 — Paid service

*2026-05-13, version 1.8.68*

It will not let me enter without a subscriptuon. Is this a paid service?

### 1/5 — Good luck trying to find the songs you did last week

*2026-04-28, version 1.8.67*

Easy tomuse and good sound quality. The file picker sucks if you have more then a couple songs you are working on because younwint be able to find them.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-04-12, version 1.8.67*

The interface is rubbish. ASD does all the same functions but at a fraction of the price and with an interface that is crystal clear in comparison to this one. Having played around with this for a while I can honestly say that I am astounded at how useless is actually is. It mast be ancient. My advice would be to avoid at all costs.

### 1/5 — buggy on macbook

*2026-02-24, version 1.8.66*

this app is buggy on macbook

- starts playing randombly when paused
- Scroll feature is way too jittery 
- lags 

DO NOT pay for this
luckily i am on a free trial

### 1/5 — Bring back free mode

*2026-02-21, version 1.8.65*

Unsure why I can’t slow things down from a camera roll without doing this trial. Was an amazing app I used for years.

### 1/5 — Not intuitive at all

*2026-01-25, version 1.8.60*

Nah. This sucks.

### 1/5 — essai gratuit promis ????

*2026-01-23*

en dépit d’un essai gratuit promis, le montant est immédiatement débité heureusement je n’avais sélectionné que le plan mensuel…sincèrement les développeurs et designers arrêtez avec les parcours clients trompeurs où on vous dit de choisir un plan et souscrire mais comme sur la page d’avant il est indiqué que vous ne paierez rien pendant 7j, on espère que ce n’est qu’une étape intermédiaire et qu’on pourra s’assurer ensuite que la somme ne sera pas débitée tout de suite ;
c’est vraiment de l’extorsion.
Mise à jour après réponse du développeur : merci mais dommage que ce ne soit pas aussi limpide au moment de sélectionner les plans.

**Developer response:** 7 day free trial only applies to the yearly subscription. The monthly and lifetime in app purchases are placed on another page under 'additional purchase options' in order to avoid any confusion around this. You can request a refund from apple and then still take advantage of the 7 day free trail with the yearly subscription. 
L'essai gratuit de 7 jours ne s'applique qu'à l'abonnement annuel. Les achats mensuels et à vie dans l'application sont placés sur une autre page sous "options d'achat supplémentaires" afin d'éviter toute confusion à ce sujet. Vous pouvez demander un remboursement à Apple et profiter de la piste gratuite de 7 jours avec l'abonnement annuel.

### 1/5 — I can’t get out of the payment wall

*2026-01-13, version 1.8.60*

I just reinstalled the app and this free trial keeps showing up on my screen and I can’t even get out of it I already did the free trial and it’s trying to make me buy it. Help

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-08-31, version 1.8.77*

Awesome! I recommend to all my students for transcribing. 🍻

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2026-08-05, version 1.8.74*

I have used this a lot to slow down songs I’m trying to learn so I can hear all the nuances. It also helps me to play along at a slower speed or in a different key when  I practice. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-04, version 1.8.74*

Everything a learning jazz musician needs

### 5/5 — Thoughtful Features

*2026-08-02, version 1.8.74*

The addition to manually input BPM, manually fade volumes of each isolated track, and tap the tempo are very thoughtful features. You guys listen to your users! Props!!

### 5/5 — So clean. So useful

*2026-07-26, version 1.8.74*

This app lets you download music and slow down and/or change keys.  So useful and a great UI

### 5/5 — Essencial para estudantes

*2026-07-16*

Excelente app. Recomendo.

### 5/5 — Amazing tool that predates all the new AI

*2026-07-11, version 1.8.74*

This is a great tool on the iPhone and iPad. It’s been a star for years well before all the new AI stuff showed up and it does all of that and more very very well.

### 5/5 — 很好

*2026-07-09*

第一次下载这个软件  强大咯

### 5/5 — It’s okay

*2026-07-07, version 1.8.74*

Only if it would just keep playing without you going back to change the song it would be a five star

### 5/5 — Super

*2026-07-05*

Einfach genial
