Another music app, you might think. Probably something like playing on pads that make random sounds or switching between pre-made loops. Or maybe a complicated multitrack spaceship. Just the same old thing, right? Well... let us assure you, that's not the case at all. Jamyo is a new app we're really proud of. Our goal was to create an app that lets you quickly, flexibly, and creatively make full beats and music tracks, not just try to recreate snippets of someone else's song. At the same time, we wanted the app not to be as complicated and confusing as those big music editors for laptops, but still powerful and versatile. We also wanted it to be useful not just for professional musicians, but for enthusiasts and beginners. Did we succeed? Well, download it and see for yourself! Our genre-specific music packs are filled with tons of musical patterns and instruments that, thanks to our innovative music engine, can be turned into an infinite number of unique beats. Get inspired by instantly creating beats with the Magic Button! Each tap generates a new arrangement within your chosen music pack. The Magic Button is a great starting point for beginners and a fun way to spark unexpected ideas for advanced music makers. With our new approach to the familiar piano roll, you can experiment with form, sound, instrument parts, and chord progressions. Turn your ideas into musical pieces, no matter where you are. You don’t need hours for that – 5 minutes is enough to sketch out a whole beat from scratch. Don’t worry if these are your first steps in music-making – you’ll learn the basics as you go. In the current version, we're focusing on the instrumental part of music creativity. However, we're already preparing a big update that will let you record vocal tracks over your own beats and apply various vocal effects. Vocalists and songwriters without music production skills will be able to quickly and easily create arrangements for their melodies.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: CanoSong at none against Jamyo's shown. CanoSong also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Jamyo's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (46 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
