## Review summary

The app is largely criticized for a heavy paywall and ongoing subscription model, misleading Audacity branding, functionality far below the desktop version, stability problems (crashes and errors), and poor file handling/usability. Reviewers feel misled about free access, often paying without being able to test features. Overall, it’s viewed as not the real Audacity and of little value due to branding deception and limited capabilities.

### Cons

- Core features require a subscription; there is no usable free tier or trial for many users.
- Branding is misleading—uses the Audacity name which leads to accusations of a scam and confusion with the free desktop Audacity.
- Not equivalent to desktop Audacity; missing features like cloud syncing and advanced editing; marketed as a basic recorder but falls short.
- Stability issues such as crashes, errors, and the app closing unexpectedly.
- File handling and usability problems (e.g., inability to upload/import files; paywall blocks basic use; perceived toward paying before testing).
