Guide videos can be loaded from Photos, Files, or streamed from YouTube. Recorded videos are saved to your Photo Library.

### 5/5 — Love app but could we have virtual background

*2021-04-03*

I use this app for my stay at home choir recordings. Please add virtual background. That would be of huge value.

### 1/5 — Sound only tracks do not work

*2020-10-26*

Does not allow for use of mp3 track while recording

### 5/5 — I love this!

*2020-10-02*

Such a brilliant idea. My only request at this time: could we implement support for audio track? My group has been using primarily a combination of click track and lead soprano for us to perform along with. No videos.
Thank you for doing this excellent work!

### 3/5 — No playback

*2020-09-19*

It’s a great app, handy for people who might not be able to juggle using two devices to playback and record, but for some reason I’m not getting any playback audio today. I updated to iOS 14 the other day. Could that be the problem?

### 1/5 — gross

*2020-09-08*

my teacher made me use it 🔪🔪🔪🔪🌝🌝🌝🌝

### 3/5 — Great idea, but camera registration not working correctly in landscape mode

*2020-08-30*

Everything works great, except for one major issue. If recording in landscape mode, video image appears upside down despite rotating phone. I am now working on my third virtual choir project and all have required recording in landscape mode so this is not ideal.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback and sorry you’re encountering this issue. That’s not the intended behavior, the camera should rotate into landscape (right-side up). Might you be able to send a screenshot to support@soundspin.com, with the model of your device? Thanks!
