We’ve had filters absolutely crash after dozens of joins are in with the effects freezing and stretches of black screen. That’s after countless times of the Style Studio app freezing and getting booted off of it as I’m trying to create a style. I seem to have to catch it on a good day and the good days have been few and far between. So sick of it freezing and crashing and I’ve redownloaded it several times. It’s frustrating and wastes lots of time. Nice enough if it works. ### 4/5 — 大活躍しているのですが *2025-06-12* 音源通りの設定で編集ができないバグが起きているので改善してほしいです。 よろしくお願いします。 ### 2/5 — Trop de bug, peu ergonomique *2024-09-11* L’idée était bonne mais trop de bug empêchent d’utiliser l’appli comme elle le promet. Impossible de retrouver les séquençages des upload que je fais : une fois sur deux ils ne correspondent pas… difficile de se lancer dans la création d’un filtre également sur des nouveaux upload car il faut enregistrer une collaboration test au préalable (grosse perte de temps …). Au lieu de développer des choses inutiles comme la monétisation des profils ou l’affichage en réel des flux d’abonnés, il serait plus pertinent de pousser à la créativité de vos utilisateurs en perfectionnant et développant les outils jusqu’au bout et convenablement …. Trop de promesses tuent les promesses… ### 2/5 — No Help Section *2023-11-18, version 1.4.7* Just was looking for instructions on how to use this as it looks like I need to select something for every part of the song or it won’t have an effect? I got no idea? Help needed for app pls. Otherwise this is a great idea/app. ### 2/5 — Weird setup *2023-09-08, version 1.4.5* I think the app would benefit a lot more by being able to add in effects line by line/word by word. It doesn’t give us that much freedom to create when its so confusing and we have to find about 5000 ways to work around it to get specific effects for specific bits of songs. I think it would be so much better if there was a chance to edit specific bits of the song easily. ### 4/5 — Enjoy creating video effects *2023-04-21, version 1.4.1* I really enjoy this app, and I have created hundreds of different styles using this app and millions of people regularly use the styles created by me. You had introduced a falling leaves video fx for a brief period of time and then it was removed. Could you please add it back? ### 2/5 — Chiederei un aiuto … *2023-02-21, version 1.4.1* Vorrei sapere perché alcuni effetti usati da altri utenti io non li trovo quando canto in Smule … Quando cerco gli effetti che anno creato le persone a me non esistono gli stessi …perché non mettete una lente di ricerca x almeno mettere il nome della persona che ha creato l’effetto…soprattutto x i video ..di solito quando canti poi rimangono memorizzati x un po’ ma quelli che interessano me spariscono praticamente subito e non si memorizza …fate in modo che una persona possa fare una ricerca tramite il nome di chi ha creato l’effetto..è un semblice consiglio e richiesta da parte mia ma che credo serva a tutti … non mettere più stelle su questa app ### 4/5 — Love this so much *2022-11-29, version 1.3.9* First off I want to thank u for makin this app second I’d like to all to plez edit how u edit the makeup parts like adding a percentage bar so we can tell how much is what..? It’s hard to tell without it that would improve this app tremendously I love all the cool edits y’all have and enjoy making them up i love how it all comes together it’s awesome I have 4 stars but will change to 5 stars if y’all fix the small things I requested thanks 🫶🏻 ### 3/5 — Please fix bug *2022-11-05, version 1.3.9* There’ a very annoying bug on this app. When you create a structure in the songbook, sometimes the structure turns out to be randomized and different from what we have saved in the song book. Then we have to return to re edit the structure in the song book and its randomized again in style. Very annoyinh bug indeed. Either smule app or style has this random structur bugs for songbooks. Kill the bug please. Squash it ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time- SCAM *2022-08-19, version 1.3.7* TERRIBLE!! Don’t waste your time. Edits don’t save. You can’t locate edits after they are supposed to save. Says they saved but the video won’t come up it says no performance. I was really disappointed. I was so excited to edit my videos free. But it’s a scam app that doesn’t work. I can’t believe Smule created this. So many videos I tried and retried. You can’t save or share it at all. Once I click save I can’t ever get it back. Disappointed in Smule for sure. ### 1/5 — Delete *2022-08-16, version 1.3.7* How do you delete this app??? I don’t want to use Super Studio and have white birds flying in and out of head with light from the heavens! This is ridiculous. Makes my song look like a joke. ### 3/5 — Not for amateurs *2022-08-02, version 1.3.7* Not the easiest app to get your head around not very good for newcomers to Smule I do feel it could be made more user friendly it’s a shame as the smule singing app is fantastic needs to be made user friendly as it is it’s more for people who have time on there hands ### 3/5 — Please make this better *2022-06-05, version 1.3.7* Some of us like to sing but would like to hide our imperfections. This is a great way to do this, except you must put more filters. This use to work well… something has changed? It doesn’t allow you to create your personalized look???? Please make this feature better and a lot more people would sing. Thank you, Sarah ### 2/5 — HAS NOT CHANGED!! A now experienced user’s view... *2022-05-21, version 1.3.7* Let me first say that Smule has a lot to learn about change management. This never should have been so jarring to their user base. In fact, if handled properly their users would have been clamoring for it. Instead Smule got tons of bad reviews and lost goodwill from their otherwise very loyal users. Communication is key to driving adoption!!! Zero stars for this. Now that I’ve spent time using styles in Smule I don't want to view a video without them. The WOW factor has increased exponentially. The visual and audio effects are wonderful. The user experience, however, is still lacking. Simple common functions such as open, edit and save are hard to find or require several steps to use. There is no in-app help to speak of and the icons are not typical. Navigation is a mystery at first and not at all intuitive. The flow to create a style is entirely backward. Although based on and applied to categories established in the uploaded songs, users are not given the ability to view the categories in uploaded songs from within Smule unless they uploaded it nor in Styles when selecting a song to create their style. Instead they have to find an existing performance –blindly searching through what can be many performances by other Smulers of the many different uploaded versions of a song, before they can create a new style. What Studio does at this point is the reason this review has any stars. It allows the user to, category by category, create an appealing visual and audio effects template that can be applied to any song. After, however, the inability to simply save, retrieve and edit takes away stars. Opening a style does not put the original version in edit mode. It creates a new style altogether. Even if only minor changes are needed, the app will not allow the user to open, edit and save the original Style. It forces users to create a new version of the style-requiring them to again define a name, tags and icon but allowing them to exactly match the original. This creates a maintenance burden on the user as they have to find and remove styles that may appear to be duplicates but are instead revisions of the original. Though potentially named the same, and perhaps created using an existing recording, updates are not applied to existing recording versions using the style. And despite their role in creating a style, previously recorded performances can never have that style applied within Smule. After publishing a style the app only allows the user to create a new style or sing using the style they just created rather than returning them to the app’s initial landing page so they can choose their next action The user must close the app to get back to the initial landing page. So, lots of potential but difficult to get to by casual users. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frequently crashes while creating video *2025-10-26, version 1.5.1* Had to restart Style Studio countless times, app kept crashing during the process! Needs to be fixed! ### 1/5 — 反映されない *2025-04-29* いちいちタイトル入れるの面倒なんやわ💢 それで反映されてない何度やってもダメ ### 1/5 — Desfuncional *2024-07-13* Nunca os comandos seguem do jeito que criamos. Sai tudo desconfigurado chega a ser irritante. As transições nunca ficam como coloca-os. As máscaras de background ficam feiamente poluídas e cheio de contornos irregulares. Por favor melhorem. Como criador fico frustado com isso. Um produto que não funciona como deveria!! ### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Time!!! *2024-01-20, version 1.4.7* First off it doesn’t work at all. You hit publish and it doesn’t publish on your Smule page at all. I don’t believe in audio affects but the face styles I thought were fun but you actually can’t get them published…says it’s published but it’s not! Stick to just singing!!!! That’s an hour of my life I won’t get back! ### 1/5 — Your wrong *2023-05-30, version 1.4.1* Your taking away what we all love new update whats wrong with you you took away our privelege of joining old open calls expired ones even my own from 2 years ago bring it back please! Like your gonna listen anyways lining the pockets is your enjoyment let us dnjoy what we pay your for stop messing with our choices ### 1/5 — Bof *2023-05-02* Pas du tout intuitif. Pour avoir le même effet vidéo et le même effet audio sur toute la chanson, il faut passer beaucoup trop de temps. ### 1/5 — Worst Wasted Potential of an App. *2023-03-21, version 1.4.1* Confusing to use with no direction or guidance confusing to navigate your way to even utilize. any new app and the options of it’s tools it takes some time getting the hang of it but this literally seems useless. Suggestion, go back to drawing board with this or create one new n better. Original Smule app needs to Allow duets the option pick mics from more than just the Smule basics. I’d rather community made mics for most performances. ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2022-12-15, version 1.4.1* Why not give us an app that allows people to make their songs … with the instrumental and lyrics …. Like you can in the site with a pc ### 1/5 — To the golden hair developer *2022-10-12, version 1.3.9* When I found this app I knew that it was connected to my heart and liked it a lot because it had content directly connected to me songs about me litarly so in the development of it was a direct connection between me and a blond woman that created it she used me for the development and then she lied to me about it so this app was created in part because she used me for content ### 1/5 — Smule cada vez peor! *2022-09-20, version 1.3.7* Es Espantosa Deforma la cara , no puedes poner el filtro de voz que tú quieres. Peor aún , no puedes utilizar todos los filtros que existen. Entonces para que están si no los puedes usar. Tiene aproximadamente 3 años que Smule se está convirtiendo en una porquería . Te venden hasta regalos., deberían de vender los primeros filtros que tenían. Yo fui continuamente VIP. Ya no vale la pena para la porquería de filtros al hacer un video. No existe uno solo que esté bien hecho. Le daría menos 5 estrellas pero para dejar mi comentario tengo que calificar y la menor calificación es 1 estrella. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ok *2025-06-09, version 1.4.9* Ok ### 5/5 — Ses ayarları bozuldu *2024-11-02, version 1.4.9* Sürekli güncelleme yapıyorsunuz ses ayarlarını düzelteceğinize daha berbat hale getirdiniz berbat oldu ses ayarları star maker ayarları kötü diye gitmiyordum şimdi orası şu haliyle daha iyidir iOS işletimciden yıllık vip için bir sürü para almayı biliyorsunuz ama para alıyorsanız emek vermek zorundasınız canlı yayın da iki kişi zor düet yapıyor çünkü uygulama kaldırmıyor artık böyle giderse hizmetiniz yakında Smule diye birşey kalmayacak herkes farklı uygulamalara geçiş yapıcak ### 5/5 — i like it *2024-10-12, version 1.4.9* it's cool idk why the ratings are so bad ### 5/5 — If you know how to use the tools *2022-12-03, version 1.3.9* This is a good addition to your music videos 😎 ### 5/5 — SO COOL ! *2022-09-14, version 1.3.7* I personally believe that this brings out the creativity in everyone I have noticed everyone getting more and more creative with each style these styles can be so amazing IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING THAT IS !

THE OLDER ONES WERE ONES THAT YOU GUYS HAD WERE NOT A LOT THATS FOR SURE.. bubbles stars and the stars are what would give you that look that would flash and freeze frame your face kind of like slow motion or freeze it completely for a few seconds depending on how many stars you used colors were black and white sepia and color vivid color and smoke which some ppl would use so much of the smoke it looked like the house was on fire 😂 and audio not a whole lot to pic from except spotlight and canyon and super stereo my three faves and still are !

Drunk)performing and pretending to be THE BIG ENCHILADA, no pun intended, it’s for entertainment for yourself and so many others watching 🗣🐺🐺🐺hauling under the moonlight… brake a leg ### 5/5 — Great inclusion *2021-08-19, version 1.2.9* Smule is really expanding its repertoire with this App. It’s a great inclusion and is really entertaining. It enhances your performance and what’s more makes you look good doing it. ### 5/5 — Great Apps.. *2021-05-27, version 1.2.5* its become easier nowadays to produce awesome VOC.. great addition for smule 👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Sgt McKenzie *2021-04-26, version 1.2.1* Please add the song The Ballad of Sgt McKenzie to the Librarie ### 5/5 — Молодцы!!!!!!Супер приложен е!!!!!! *2021-04-17* Спасибо огромное разработчикам за такое отличное приложение! Развивайте его и дальше! Хорошобы добавить функцию: «Поделиться с избранными людьми из Смула своим созданным эффектом» А в будущем добавить ещё и функцию»Зелёного экрана» чтобы делать фоны за спинами исполнителей у которых дома есть зелёный или другие экраны и они поют на его фоне а потом в видеоредакторе стилей заменяют его на какой либо по своему усмотрению А то мы часто поём дома среди домашней обстановки а это смотрится иногда не очень красиво --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
