I will happily change it to a 4 star rating at least if I could at least access my past recordings. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2023-03-29* Just downloaded this and would love to use it but it crashes immediately upon opening. Please fix! Thanks :) ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK AT ALL! *2022-12-02, version 2.0.2* I am sorry to report that I just installed this app on an iPad running current iPadOS 16.1.1. The app immediately crashes, will not start. I have plenty of memory. I reset the device. Still crashes. The app does not appear to be functional. Please update it! ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS APP *2022-09-14, version 2.0.2* Whenever I record my music, there’s this weird ticking in the background. It has nothing to do with sound. And it’s not in my background. If you want good sound quality DO NOT BUY THIS APP ### 1/5 — Crash *2022-08-05, version 2.0.2* The application does not work, it closes when I open it but I don't know why, can you fix it please? (On ISO 15.6) ### 1/5 — App crashes immediately upon launch *2021-08-09, version 2.0.2* On my iphone XS ### 1/5 — Zero Assistance *2018-07-03, version 1.0.6* A minimal amount of instructions would be nice. Stick with garage band where you can get some help. ### 1/5 — No Love! *2018-03-22, version 1.0.4* Crashes within 5 seconds of initiating a simple voice recording. Reboot doesn't help. iPhone 5 iOS 10.3.3 ### 2/5 — Track monitoring *2021-12-22, version 2.0.2* If I record one track I do not see how I can monitor that track to record the other two tracks. I have looked and emailed with no answers to be found. I’m really surprised I didn’t get an email back. Wow. But I find it useless if I have to do everything by a metronome instead of monitoring the finished tracks. Would be nice to get a response. ### 3/5 — Why not? *2019-07-28, version 1.0.7* Please let me upload to OneDrive. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 4/5 — Excellent app but it crashes *2022-10-16, version 2.0.2* This is a great app to use as a replacement for Music Memos, but it crashes in iOS 14 if you open a file in Imported Audio and try to click play - every single time. ### 4/5 — Nice App *2021-01-04, version 2.0* I really like this app. The reverbs sound surprisingly good. I wish there were pan controls for each track and a SnapBack to the first measure instead of having to scroll back. ### 4/5 — Amazing but NEEDS true iPad display support!!!! *2020-08-12, version 2.0* Love using this app, much handier than the standard memos app which gets destroyed with songwriter ideas if you make a lot, I use this app everyday but it’s so frustrating not having proper iPad resolution support and true app display when working on those size screens and in studio ### 4/5 — Volume issues *2019-06-22, version 1.0.7* Hi I got a problem with the volume of the songs and everything on the app it only plays through one speaker and it’s very soft and when you use headphones it doesn’t work at all can y’all please fix it because it wasn’t so before. ### 4/5 — You’re on to something.. *2018-03-27, version 1.0.4* Really nice tool for songwriting. It would be great if you were able to record while looking at your notes. ### 4/5 — Much needed app *2017-11-28, version 1.0.1* Great app for getting down quick ideas. And from Abbey Road!!! When I import songs it imports as mono and also a simple mixer for tracks would be cool. Fix those 2 things and this is a 5-star for me ### 4/5 — Good App - Great if... *2017-11-01, version 1.0.1* I like this app. I used 4 then 8 track recorder on windows phone and this works similarly. I would rate it 5 for me if it used Bluetooth to record AND it had 4 tracks, Lead, two parts harmony and instrument. ### 3/5 — Need Tutorial *2018-03-19, version 1.0.4* Was thrilled with the simplicity of this app, and ability to upload instru tracks, but find it totally INSCRUTABLE on transferring recordings to Dropbox. Sends only the vocal track sometimes, lines of code others times. Not intuitive at all, and no tutorials anywhere. Please.....some info, somewhere.... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
