Literally useless. Beyond regretful I spent money on this app. Don't be like me. ### 2/5 — Fix this Issue for me Please *2022-03-04* Hello I’ve been using this app for some time now & I would like to give it 5 stars , but after switching from my iPhone 7 to an iPhone 12 the Pitch Correction doesn’t work at all can you fix this bug ASAP !! Thanks . ### 3/5 — Please add Music scale changing features in music player section of vocal live *2021-12-02* Many people can’t sing at original karaoke music scale. So please add scale changing feature 🙏 ### 2/5 — Не работает на iOS 15 *2021-11-27* Прошу разработчиков откорректировать приложение, так как на iOS 15 оно не работает. ### 1/5 — Don’t work on ios15 *2021-11-27* iOS 15 перестало работать :((( don’t work!!! I pay a money! ### 1/5 — Полное г *2021-11-26* Верните деньги, вылетает при открытии, качество ужасное. ### 1/5 — New update made the app crash *2021-11-22, version 3.0.3* After the new update the app crashes as soon as you launch it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work with iPhone 17 *2026-01-11, version 3.1.3* Does not work with iPhone 17. Do not buy the iPhone 17 if you want to use this app. It only works on older models. ### 1/5 — Problème après fermeture de l’appli *2025-11-25* Je passe des heures à enregistrer mes pistes. Je ferme l’appli et quand j y reviens, tout est au ralenti, les voix déformées, la tonalité changée !! Que se passe-t-il? ### 1/5 — Erro *2025-07-19* O app VocaLivePadF (v3.1.2) crasha imediatamente ao abrir no iOS 12.5.7 porque tenta carregar o SwiftUI inexistente. Na App Store diz ser compatível com iOS 10+, mas claramente requer iOS 13+. Por favor: 1) Corrijam os requisitos OU 2) Disponibilizem uma versão compatível. Já ocorrem crashes consistentes desde 19/07/2025. ### 1/5 — too tedious *2024-02-15* registered and went back in to start experimenting and asked me to register or sign in again. Couldnt seem to get anywhere so deleted the app ### 1/5 — Update!!! *2023-07-29, version 3.1.0* ITS A SHAME YALL HAVE NOT UPDATED THIS APP IN YEARS!!!!! PLEASE UPDATE!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Le son grésille malgré l’utilisation d’écouteurs différents *2023-05-11* À chaque mise à Apple un beug très important survient grésillement et parfois l’application ne fonctionne plus ne s’ouvre plus ### 1/5 — what happened?? *2023-04-22* this app was really good but after the iphone update the mic has a terrible popping static noise going on and it gets worse when you turn on the fx, haven’t found any way to fix the issue, i’ve even swapped headphones and mics and it still there. pls fix this issue cuz this app was really good and its not fair to be paying $25 if it’s gonna make a horrid popping noise :( ### 1/5 — Used to love this *2023-01-21, version 3.1.0* But I’m done now. Playback is hideously garbled - so it’s rendered this app useless. ### 1/5 — Not the Vocalive app used to be after IOS 15 *2023-01-01* That’s the honest truth, after the IOS15 update Vocalive app either for iphone or ipad it’s a mess… a lot of crashes, lagging, damaged files at downloading/uploading, unable to play songs downloaded on iphone because the songs are playing faster. Sadness ### 1/5 — You have to register just to access the help. *2022-12-28* No idea how to use app and you have to register to view the help. No thanks now deleting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 闪退 *2026-06-26* 连接斯坦伯格ur44声卡闪退，请知悉 ### 5/5 — 调试 *2024-07-10* 怎调试，求教程 ### 5/5 — Vocalive is still the BEST for Songwriters! *2024-01-30, version 3.1.1* I have used VocaLive for many many MANY years since its creation, and it is still the BEST app out there for Recording Songwriter Singers. I love how I can quickly record a guitar track, and then do a vocal track, and still have more trucks for harmonies. I love the reverb on the vocals, and the ability to adjust the EQ of my vocals. I love being able to export my song and send it to my email, to share with others. Vocalive is still the BEST App out there for Recording Songwriter Singers. There is a glitch when trying to import a recording into a track. When I search up & select a song, the “done” button does not show up. So I need to go into all of my songs and scroll down to find it there. It’s a bit frustrating. I do hope they fix it someday. 🙏 Also I wish they would take off the pop up add for the mic pack. Even though I have purchased the main part of Vocalive, it still pops up every time, and the restore purchases does not seem to fix that pop up from happening. Honestly just that pop-up did irritate me for a while from using this app. I hope they remove it for those who have made any purchase within the app. Regardless of that issue, I still LOVE this app, and use it every week! It helps me to write & RECORD a NEW SONG every week! I highly recommend Vocalive! It is the most POWERFUL and easy to use App out there for a Recording Songwriter Singer. Thanks to all of those who made this app possible. Blessings to them and their family. Kind regards. ### 5/5 — update application *2023-06-23* The app does not work with iOS 16.4 Please update the application ### 5/5 — Please update *2022-10-28, version 3.1.0* Are you guys ever going to update this app!
