SingFun is the app for the viral online reverse-talking challenge. Record your voice, hear it backwards, then try to imitate that backwards sound. Record your attempt, reverse it โ and find out whether it turned back into the original phrase. Spoken or sung, alone or with friends: it is much harder than it sounds, and the results are hilarious. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap the big red key and say or sing a short phrase. 2. Tap REVERSE and listen to it backwards. Listen a few times. 3. Pick a new slot, record yourself imitating that backwards sound. 4. Tap REVERSE on your attempt. Does it sound like the original? 5. Switch between the slots to compare, and keep trying until you nail it. MADE FOR THE CHALLENGE โข 4 recording slots on iPhone, 6 on iPad โ the original, your attempts, and your friends' attempts, one tap apart โข True reverse playback: the sound really runs backwards โข Trim with two handles, or tap the waveform to move the nearest handle, so you compare exactly the part that matters โข Big colorful 3D keys, instant response, zero menus โ kids get it in seconds โข Download any take as a WAV file, forward or reversed โ post your best attempt or send it to someone to decode BONUS EFFECTS When you want to mess around some more: shift the pitch from chipmunk to monster, slow it down or speed it up to 4ร, add reverb, loop a snippet or boomerang it back and forth โ all live while it plays. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your recordings never leave your device. No account, no cloud, no upload โ a sound only leaves your phone when you export it yourself. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Open your iPhone Duo and each screen gets its own track. Play both at the same time to compare them side by side.

Ancora

Ancora is the practice app designed by and for singers. It gives you a best-in-class practice keyboard with the major pitch standards: A440, A415 for Baroque music, A392 for French Baroque, and A465. And it gives you an auditory mirror. This is the breakthrough for vocal pedagogy that lets you practice, and whenever you're uncertain about a sound, tap to hear back what you just sang. The recording is done at far better quality than voice memos, with all of your dynamics intact. If you're used to recording voice memos up to number 1057 just to hear yourself practice, you're going to love this app. You don't even have to press record, because there's no record button. It listens to you practice, and you can hear back anything you'd like. There's no better test of your artistry than how it actually sounds outside your head. That's why we built Ancora. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ancora at none against SingFun's 1. Ancora also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). SingFun's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
