suddenly useless
all of a sudden this app either crashes immediately or says tutorial and freezes. update.
No Export Audiofiles Option!
Why have the developers not included this simple option to export audioloops as wavs or mp3 etc. It would be really really helpful to be able to export the files and work on them within a DAW session. Feel like I was just ripped off 😟 - can’t really use this now
Want a refund
I bought this because I thought it was a plugin
Avoid
WAS good, now GARBAGE. Why? No updates. No support. Buggy. Doesn’t even connect to AirPods when the iPhone shows the AirPods are in fact connected.
bluetooth headphones?
I bought this app awhile ago but it seems like they haven’t updated it to allow for AirPods compatibility. Disappointing.
WAS SUPERB. NOW HORRENDOUS.
This is what you get when a developer stops TRULY supporting their apps and ignores the MASSIVE bugs that have been in the app for years.
Fancy losing an entire song before you upload it to Soundcloud (the only means of exporting on Voice Jam)? How about experiencing ENORMOUS, PERMANENT tempo changes that not only speed up your track - when you load it up once again - but have you in Chipmunk Mode? Sure...you can upload to Soundcloud immediately after laying a song down, to avoid this... But why go through the pain when there are far better loopers on the App Store.
The even “better” news is that their companion app - VOICE RACK - with all of its “amazing” vocal effects...is even worse. More bugs than a Presidential Campaign Office. Completely uselsss in every respect.
And don’t bother writing to TC Helicon support either. You’ll simply get a polite email explaining that the App is no longer supported. But they WILL leave it up on the App Store of course - knowing full well what a bug-infested piece of trash they are peddling. Shameful behavior from a company that once prided itself on delivering excellence.

No air pod support
With iPhone going 100% Bluetooth is hard to expect and application that only requires all wired headphones in order for the application to work to its peak performance. Enabling wireless headphones would greatly increase the users experience considering most phones don’t offer wired headphones any longer especially Apple phones

Good but it’s missing one thing
I really like this app and all the features has to offer. It’s one of the best looping audio apps I’ve ever used and it’s definitely worth the money. But one thing I am particularly confused about is why you can’t import audio from this app to GarageBand. I use GarageBand sometimes for making music but it’s not good for looping. A feature for importing audio clips from this app to Garage Band is the only thing this app is missing for me. Otherwise I’d recommend thing app.

Voice Jam
I can sing and record will be fun.
Wireless problem
The app is lacking a wireless headphone update. With the new iPhones you can't use the app properly.
Already own the app
I have this app on my iPad and to download for my iPhone 6s I had to buy it again why was there no restore??
Best app for songwriters and musicians
This is absolutely the best app I've ever used. I've never had as much fun making music as I have with this app. Better than every other looper, by far. Record vocals and sounds and switch to beat mode and use the app as an instrument. It's amazing. Only suggestion is for a Release-Trigger mode so a sample will only play if your finger is on it and release when you release the button.

Who was brought here by Douglas Bako???
Disappointed!
Waste of money.... Don't buy it, you can do the same looping and over laying with other apps that are way easier and free to work with.
Crackly sounding iPhone 6s
I had this on my 5s and loved it! However on my 6s it plays back with crackly sounds . Need to update?
Scratchy Sound...!?
I saw a video on youtube about people mixing their voices and making SFX and when they added all together IT WAS SICK! But when I buyed it, as soon as I record my voice and I play it back.... It sounds very scratchy as an my mic is broken, tried it on another device and it still did it.... Waste of money here. Not rating 5 stars till it gets fixed. PS I was reading some reviews and other people like me have the same problem.

Terrible feedback
No matter what I do I cannot get the terrible feedback to stop on any single loop (vocal or otherwise). I've tried using headphones, without headphones, adjusting the mic to headphone setting but it all includes so much feedback it's not even usable.
bad
I just wasted money on this and the audio playback is horrible
Almost Awesome
This app is a super cool concept and almost a good execution. You definitely can’t skip the tutorial to figure it out and you may have to do it a couple more times until you get it (still not entirely sure I know what all you can do on the thing). I do have some COMPLAINTS/ SUGGESTIONS that i think would improve the app though.
1. Bar Count Selector/Metronome/Count In: As is, the app is great for creating weird voice recordings and laying vocals, however, it is not that great for layering instruments because you have to use your hands to start/stop recording. When you have to hit record on the phone, then play guitar, then stop playing to hit the stop recording button, it creates a pretty ugly silent period in the song and does not loop well. One way to fix this would be to be able to have a countdown at the beginning and a way to cut the silent part of the loop off at the end of the recording once you finish recording. A BETTER way to fix it though (which I think would make the app waaaaaay more desirable/be taken more seriously by serious musicians) would be to have a built in metronome that you can hear but that does not get recorded, a way to choose your tempo, and a way to choose the number of bars (1,2,3,4s) that you would want in each “orb” (similar to the “2x” button….If you had this OPTION, you would be able to fool around and have fun on the app with vocals and all like you can now OR you could try to make a more serious recording. It would also be HUGE for songwriter to be able to play their chord progressions, put them loop, and then fool around on the guitar to find a good picking pattern that goes with the chord progression. It would help solo artist be able to kind of have a one man band.
2. Play Multiple Orbs at Once: After going through the tutorial, i think that there is a way to listen to one recording and record on another orb without recording them on the same track. That being said, it seems like, in order to listen to them both at once, you have to combine them eventually (?). It seems very complicated. I wish that for each orb, you could either record or just play it and that they could stay separate. Seems like that would be an easy thing add.
3. More Sonic Effects: ones for voice, guitar, etc.
4. Simplified Interface: more elegant, less distracting background, easier to see buttons, easier to understand what you are doing, label the orbs
5. Better Undo Button: Be able to see a list of like the past few things you did and then select which one you want to undo
6. Drum Pad: this one is a long shot, but a built in drum pad would take this thing to next level (especially if you had the option to record your own sounds)
7. Collaborate with Garageband: don’t know if this would be possible, but if this app on iPhone and garageband on MacBook could kind of be one with each other and you recorded using both, that would be pretty cool.
With some work I really think that this app could be one of the best to record music with on the whole App Store. While Garageband for iPhone does have a lot of features and does more than VoiceJam will probably ever do, I personally feel that there are too many features for such a small device and think that, with some changes, VoiceJam would be a more fun, more creative, and easier way to record music. And honestly, it could maybe even rival some of the expensive equipment that many artist’s use for performances that feature looping. This app is so close to being so so awesome. Thanks for making it!
