I hope you can fix it soon ### 4/5 — Go *2026-09-06, version 14.3.3* I think I should write be produced solo without making them pay for it so that’s why I gave you guys 4+5 am I really hope you could change that ### 3/5 — fix the extensions!!!! *2026-09-06, version 14.3.3* i miss when the extensions were FRICKING NORMAL!!! ### 3/5 — Very bigger singer *2026-09-03, version 14.3.3* I’m gonna write a 2 1/2 but I put three because there’s no 2 1/2. I am a beginner self teaching singer and I really enjoy this and I enjoy this platform. I also use Starmaker Ware. I originally started to do karaoke on an app and it was free, but I was there for a mother or two like two months and started trying to learn to sing. I was referred here from a good friend that also sings on sings on Smule, but we were on a social media app where I started to do live karaoke. I have two opinions the price for the membership $20 and I am I have been on a fixed income because I serve in the military and I get a separate disability check and I had had to quit a job because of a big strain on my mental health and when I came to this app, the Level, that people sing on here inspired me and I chicken out but the support that people were telling me and so I bought the membership because I wanted to connect with my friends that’s on you and also on the social media that we also goes to and we also talk about it all there and stuff like that and you know you always mention it New you know because especially when you know I come in and you know he introduces everybody and he always and I always know whenever you know in this Important and it is saved me from a dark place. Also Live was very difficult. The passing the Mike was very confusing lol. And it’s limited to one person I believe to be able to do like sing with you or duet. It was just very confusing and I don’t remember a camera cause I do like my camera. I may be wrong. If you guys would rework that you know I’m I would I like both apps but you guys this app is awesome. But I didn’t buy this VIP that I Have, I still come here often and scroll through duets because that’s all I could do and do duets. I haven’t been here too long but I hit over 200 recordings and I think I hit that pretty quick within a couple months. But other than that, good job. ### 4/5 — complaint. *2026-08-29, version 14.3.1* sometimes when i try and redo something or sing a certain song, it does a loud annoying ring in my ears when i have headphones in and it’s really bad and it need to be fixed ### 2/5 — App isn’t working!!! *2026-08-26, version 14.3.1* App must be very glitchy this week I can’t play songs or join songs, I wonder why it’s gone down? ### 2/5 — not enough songs *2026-08-22, version 14.3.1* I could sing way more songs and I wish they wouldn’t expire and I just want to sing one song I know alone if no one else is gonna sing it it’s annoying and I just want to sing any song. I feel like not having to be limited. ### 5/5 — Saving All My Love For You *2026-08-20, version 14.3.1* 10 ### 3/5 — Its ok *2026-08-20, version 14.3.1* I hate that smule changed the open duets to only open for a couple days. It used to be open unlimitedly. ### 4/5 — made me happy now I’m sad *2026-08-20, version 14.3.1* EVERY SINGLE COOL SONG YOU HAVE TO SING WITH SOMEONE RANDOM YOU NEVER GET TO HEAR YOUR OWN VOICE AT ALL! ALSO THERE ARE FEW FREE SONGS THAT SUCK PLEASE DEVELOPER READ THIS AND REPLY!!! ### 5/5 — Thank you 💕 *2026-08-19, version 14.3.1* Forever grateful! ### 4/5 — it is really fun but... *2026-08-18, version 14.3.1* you cant sing alone which can be really annoying because what if the person your singing with not in your age group? other than that its really fun ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A “free” singing app *2026-09-06, version 14.3.3* Genuinely makes you pay for everything you wanna sing theres no point in making it free if ur just gonna lock it all behind a pay wall i hate this app and i will never download it again ty for making me waste my time ### 1/5 — Cost *2026-08-31, version 14.3.3* Can you please reduce the membership cost . ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2026-08-28, version 14.3.1* I got Smule bc it was supposed to help me with singing etc u know what im talkin about and it said i had to PAY to sing i don’t have money. Im not mad that i have to pay it’s bc they said in the adds that it was COMPLETELY FREE. Go to StarMaker instead ### 1/5 — paywall *2026-08-28, version 14.3.1* When your app is about singing let’s not make singing cost money how about that? ### 1/5 — Outdated and unusable *2026-08-27, version 14.3.1* Why can’t you unlike a post? Why do you need VIP to do the most basic thing ever like sing solo or duet? There are so many bugs, you say you’ve updated it, but it’s still so buggy like the “editing recording” thing. Please make the app more modern. I’m not paying 10 dollars a week for VIP. ### 1/5 — Every time I sing it’s off beat even when I sing it at the same time?! *2026-08-22, version 14.3.1* PLS FIX THIS IT IS A ISSUE 😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Need to pay for duets *2026-08-18, version 14.3.1* I was going to sing songs together with my friend but you need to pay in order to do duets. Dumb ### 1/5 — The worst game *2026-08-17, version 14.2.9* I am giving you advice to NOT download this app because it’s not working properly for me and also it’s not letting me login .

Follow me let’s sing!! ### 5/5 — All about the game *2026-08-25, version 14.3.1* This game is so much fun.
