2025-01-28	Ph*****		Nearly finished an entire song on laptop. Clicked the save button, saved. Then I closed the window and proceeded to open the app on my phone and lo and behold! All the tedious work I investes into my art gone for no good reason. Funny, all my other instances of engaging the app logged every single input I made. Except for important one.
2025-01-26	Mi*****		Whenever I use my headphones, a delayed playback plays whenever I move or talk while editing. I need microphone access removed for it not to do this, but if I do it doesn't let me make any projects. Is this a bug? If so, please fix! I've never had this issue before the update. Other than that, I love this app! Definitely recommend.
2025-01-24	CD*****		This app is great. It is quick and simple to record tracks. You can record audio, use midi instruments, use drum sequences, use loops, and even collaborate with musicians around the world. It's nice to just touch a screen for recording music on my phone vs having to click a mouse everytime for a different program on the desktop computer. It also processes and saves the music extremely quickly to the cloud. Highly recommend this app. 👏😊🎶🎹🎸🔥👌
2025-01-21	Do*****		Amazing app! I use it to make music all the time and I met the best people on here. I also made a group. Publishing singles is great, but making albums is weird. I don't like how you can only put published tracks on albums. If this could be fixed it would be great, I want to be able to put unreleased tracks on the albums and when I publish the album all the tracks go public WITH the album. If this could be fixed I would love it!
2025-01-20	Jo*****		Really great app! I make all my music with it, and it's super easy to use. I even use it to record skits and scripts for short films here because the audio effects and tracks are incredible and easy to use. I only have one issue, but it's not worth giving it a low rating. Please, please PLEASE- This would make this app unstoppable, I truly believe- if you were able to make customized instruments. Similar to BeepBox, where you have presets but can change wave type and add envelopes and such:D
2025-01-19	Ji*****		I'm just being nit-picky, but I've waited 50 years (or more) to have a studio in my cell phone. I was lucky to snag my dad's mono radio/cassette recorder. It took heaps of money to even get a demo done, plus you needed other competent musicians to help, and I was a poor kid. This is like a jig-saw puzzle, its great. I'm glad I have some recording experience, but a total novice can just go for it. Keep up the good work.
2025-01-19	Av*****		Up until it was no longer functioning properly on the specific make/model of my phone, It was a great music production app... When I view the app in the store, it no longer shows the option of downloading the app. Instead, it simply displays a message that informs me that; based on what had been previously observed, the app would be likely to stop working on my device.
2025-01-18	Sp*****		Bandlab has provided so much for me as a begining music composer. For people who just want to dabble and play, this app is sufficient. For anyone who wants to compose in a more professional way, look elsewhere. This app is very limiting with constant, constant, constant technical issues. I've had my fair share of good times with this app, but it seems that everytime I try to sit down and compose of late I cannot finish because of some (most likely technical) issue I have with the program.
2025-01-18	Ph*****		I use the free version money is tight right now. There are plenty of features/ options available to create good music. It is easy to use has a good selection of instruments and effects. I definitely recommend this app to anyone who is looking to record and experiment their music. Great app.
2025-01-16	Ro*****		Veteran to the app and have been faithful since 2019. Still not an app that even compares to it but I would like a couple features to be added. 1) I want the ability to see the whole grid while im recording vocals. ( it would be nice to see all the different tracks while im laying down vocals, so that I can look for dynamic ques. 2) And actual vocal tone changer. So that we can manipulate the vocals to sound super high or super low without having to make presets.
