When I try to import those audio files in the app, it would not work. Please fix it. ### 2/5 — Used to work *2026-03-12, version 20.38* I remember a time when this app useful. However, over the years it has been getting worse and worse and worse. Now recording a quick idea and adding an EQ and Reverb is painful because of the extremely buggy interface. Very disappointing for an app with so much potential. ### 5/5 — NCH, are you kidding me???!? *2025-09-22* I'm a logo editor, I tried to make Metal but the effect chain is paid! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-09-21* Excellent app for editing audio and music files ### 5/5 — Does the job for free *2025-09-03, version 20.38* Been using this app for years. Works well and does the job. For free can’t complain at all. Only a THANK YOU very much from me. ### 3/5 — Good design, with a low saves that kill it for me. *2025-08-27, version 19.77* I was hoping for something that had a similar look and feel to Adobe Audition v3. This was close enough so I paid and started learning the ins and outs (so to speak). Everything was fine until I saved a file. It seemed slow. I tested a 2 hour recording to simulate the symposium I needed this for, with presentations running 90-120 minutes, with 15 min between some sessions. The save took over 10 minutes, regardless of the file format. Fatal flaw. If there’s no way to shorten this significantly, it’s a deal killer for me. ### 5/5 — 👌🏾👍🏾 *2025-08-19, version 19.77* Don’t fully know how to work it since I’m new at creating with sounds but it gets the job done so I can’t complain ### 5/5 — Simply Perfect *2025-08-07, version 19.77* A user friendly software with awesome capabilities. The price I agreed to spend is minimal for such a tool. Thank you ### 3/5 — Not bad, but not for me *2025-07-01, version 19.77* This is not a bad app. It is able to do what it is supposed to do, and is very easy to use, but I am more so looking for advanced voice changing effects. The ones this app offers, it is easy to tell that my voice has been edited. Compared to a video editor such as CapCut, the voice generators are AI, and the effects sound like a completely different person. But this was still worth checking out. ### 5/5 — Absolutely good for different speeds of good music *2025-06-14, version 19.77* I install this app whenever I hear beautiful music. Likewise, with unedited audio but only the speeds, and it comes with pitches following the speed. This is so crazy!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So slow! *2026-07-31, version 20.38* Try a different app. ### 1/5 — Pessimo *2026-05-07* Salva e não bre em nenhum programa ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE! *2026-04-25, version 20.38* I was trying to edit cheer music and it wouldn’t let me import music! LIKE WHAT!😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Why I Got Too Angry Here *2025-12-06, version 20.38* It Refuses To Let Me In The Pitch Speed Profile And Says Unable To Connect Apple Device Please Check Your Connection And I Got So Mad I Stormed Off And Blamed You Guys For This. ### 1/5 — Eh *2025-12-03, version 20.38* I was just looking for a program that would combine audio files and didn’t ask for crazy privacy permissions. This did the trick. I just wish it supported flac as a free option. Edit: Trial software on some features. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2025-11-30, version 20.38* I’ve been using DAWS all my life, this has to be the worst one I’ve ever used, I can think of a dozen free ones that are miles better, this feels like it was coded by a child. ### 1/5 — A problem with the wavepad is that it’s missing View and I’m very upset on why it’s not there *2025-10-02, version 20.38* There’s a problem and I’m very upset because the view is missing ### 1/5 — Вообще не открывает файлы! *2025-09-22* Раньше полгода назад работал. ### 1/5 — This is…… BAD! *2025-08-04, version 19.77* He asked me to pay, but we don’t have enough money so remove the pay or I will sue you FOREVER! ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-07-27, version 19.77* It didn’t let me open files. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of the best apps frfr *2026-06-19, version 20.38* I mean it makes audio files into videos in a super cool way and it is pretty easy to use along with the fact that it’s free, must have for any musician!! DOWNLOAD IT ASAP!! And the fact that it never pops up in the AppStore stinks. This should be number one for audio to video!! ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-06-19, version 20.38* Really powerful and very good project ### 5/5 — We’re in the future!!! *2026-06-17, version 20.38* It’s like having a computer in your pocket... ### 5/5 — Simply for editing samples *2026-04-22, version 20.38* I have only used to chop up samples extracted from screen recordings, and im just dumbfounded that it can be this easy to jumpstart creativity with sample uses. I used to bust out the sampler, then the computer… hahah now I can just use this with ipad, and prolly phone even. Cant imagine how much is gained from sales of my data. ### 5/5 — Love *2026-04-21, version 20.38* Love ### 5/5 — Best audio editor *2026-04-03, version 20.38* Easy to use !
