User Reviews

Music Studio is praised as a beginner-friendly mobile DAW with a rich instrument library and on-the-go workflow, including the ability to create custom sounds and compatibility with Cubase. However, reviews note recurring Bluetooth/audio output problems, stability crashes after updates, and a lack of recent maintenance or a macOS version, plus inter-app audio/transfer frustrations. It remains beloved by long-time users but may be risky for those needing current maintenance.
Pros
  • Easy-to-use, beginner-friendly mobile DAW with an intuitive interface
  • Large variety of instruments and the ability to create your own instruments
  • Long-standing app with strong on-the-go workflow and cross‑compatibility (e.g., works with Cubase; iCloud sync)
  • Popular choice for hip‑hop/beat making and general music creation
  • Valued for its portability and enduring usefulness over many years
Cons
  • Persistent Bluetooth/airplay audio issues (AirPods/AirPlay) across updates
  • Stability problems and crashes, especially after updates
  • Lack of timely updates and support (old last update, no macOS version)
  • Inter‑app audio and cross‑app transfer/workflow limitations

I love this app because: 1. There’s no subscription and only one time purchases 2. The price for the app is fair 3. It’s the perfect place to document a tune you want to remember 4. It’s beginner friendly and easy to use 5. The demos are inspiring and very helpful

I bought this app about six months ago and it is pretty cool. It comes with demos and lots of instruments that has more of a variety than garage band, you can add special effects and even make your own instruments. But one problem. When I try to name my sounds it kicks me out of the app. Could you fix that ? In other stuff, I recommend this app to everyone. 😁😀😊😋🤩
