User Reviews

Backpack Studio is praised for its ease of use, rich feature set, accessibility for visually impaired users, and high-quality audio ideal for podcasts and live streaming. However, recurring bugs and stability issues after updates—notably on iOS—are a common complaint, and several reviewers view the subscription pricing model as a drawback. Overall, it’s a capable, user-friendly tool if stability and pricing concerns are addressed.

Hi. I love this app. I’ve been using it since I heard about it a long long time ago. One thing I would love to see happen is a prompt when you’re recording. You can make it sound like you’re in a car in a building or something like that I know crazy right? By the way, totally love this app is definitely worth what I paid for it. What I will say, though is, can you please make it where you can turn the transcriber off that is so frustrating. We don’t ever use it most of us who use this app don’t use that. Hope you have a great day. Thank you.

I’m impressed with the new improvements to Backpack Studio. However, I would really love to see support for uploading multiple tracks into a crate at once. Having to load one track at a time can become frustrating and time-consuming.

I use VoiceOver for the visually impaired, and I used to be able to create videos in this app very easily. But now, unfortunately, I can no longer create a video. When I press the “Video” option, an issue appears, whereas before it would give me the option to add an image or write text. This feature was very important to me, and now it doesn’t work at all. I hope the app’s management fixes this issue as soon as possible, because we rely on it a lot 🙏
