GarageBand for Positive User Reviews

✓ AMAZINGThis app is so much fun and I can’t believe I have this app yahoo I wait to do it now.DazastarVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Great for serious home musicians / song writersReally is a writing, recording, editing and sharing tool for beginners to pros. (And everywhere in between.) It can be challenging to master it and it takes some patience to learn. Immensely powerful and when used properly gives very professional results. Just don’t think it’s going to be magic in a box. You have to take it seriously and learn to use it properly..SatelisVersion: 2.3.9

✓ Add On?Love the app heaps...just wondering if u could add ukulele on there? I don’t have a ukulele but I’m learning at home so it would be so much easier if u added it on!.NarwhalluvaVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Things I would add/change...GarageBand for ios is a great app for creating music on ios however here are a few important additions/changes: Better Guitar sounds, More Mastering options, More routing capabilities, waveform editing!, odd time signatures like 5/4 and 7/8, more options for playing samples like sample pads, grouping tracks, ability to customize the individual sounds in the drum rack/beat sequencer and drum pads, complete overhaul to the virtual effects that has a better GUI and more routing options with the instruments to the effects units. Those are the main things I would add, I know it’s a long list of hopes and dreams but hopefully one day the designers can implement at least a few of these, to summarise there needs to be more customisation and versatility..Jaiden SchneiderVersion: 2.3.7

✓ The best of the bestGarage band is so so so fun I love creating music on it it’s so cool that I even use it in school. I love creating music on my guitar at home so it’s really cool to be able to create sick beats to go with songs I write at home then record me playing and singing. Garage band is full of amazing features like five different types of guitars not including bass guitars lots of cool and different sounds when doing string and so much more. Garage band should be rated best app in the world it’s my favourite and I think everyone who can afford a device that garage band works on should get the app..Cat lover 🐱🐱🐱Version: 2.3.11

✓ Good app even if it’s paidGood app but my dad keep deleting it off my phone.AutoRapFan1970Version: 2.3.8

✓ MusicI like to make the beat.Milly mondayVersion: 2.3.10

✓ Amazing AppI paid $100 for another DAW on my computer and have been using it for years, then I download GarageBand on my phone and find that I can do more on this app than I can on my expensive PC-operated DAW. Granted, if I understood the technical side of the production process better I'm sure I could get more out of the other DAW, but I don't have the time it takes to learn it, and Garage Band is very intuitive in comparison. So while it might be less powerful overall compared to FL Studio or Ableton, etc; in the hands of an average user like myself, GarageBand ends up being more powerful simply because it's easy to use. I think Apple knows that if they offer a high-quality, powerful and intuitive audio workspace for free that it gives people a reason to buy their products. So if you already have an iPhone or Mac, might as well take advantage of that access. It's crazy what you can do on the iOS app. I never would have thought I could work entirely from my phone and produce quality music..LojavvvvVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Good appMakes me sound like a pro.J1l2eVersion: 2.3.11

✓ I love it!!I love it so much and it like a real piano Thank you for this app and I like a lot..Allison jr yuVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Great but a few things missingIt's a great app to make quick short tracks or even full tracks in some extensive detail but it does lack a few key elements that could make things sound much better: 1. When placing notes in the piano roll, you can place plain notes but it'd be great if you were able to place down notes as slide notes which would really add some complexity into the songs 2. When you go into the song settings and change the key, it only allows you to go along the scale above C major. It would be much better if there were also the option to go along the scale below it so we won't have to go to each individual track and change each semitone or octave 3. Garage band allows for volume automation within the song which offers a bit more freedom in the sense of dynamics that can be incorporated, however it would be much better if you could also automate effects within the actual instruments such as the cutoff, attack, decay, release etc. to allow for smooth transitions between different elements and sections of the song Overall this is a very easy app to use and has a lot of tools to make good-sounding songs. It’s allowed me to create tracks that I’ve included in my portfolio when applying for a music production course at my current uni, although I think this app still has a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing what gets added next.Mr_WhispersVersion: 2.3.5

✓ EXCELLENT APP!My dad showed me this app a few years ago and I loved it! (Forgot to do a review though.) If you are a great singer seeking to get all songs out of your head, this is the perfect app to choose! Anyways, a really good app takes a lot of time to install! Everybody should have GarageBand. Firstly, it has tons of instruments. Secondly, you can get songs out of your head like really quickly. Lastly, its great for singers during quarantine (COVID-19) but still great. That’s my review! Bye! Hope you guys enjoy GarageBand too!.Fdsgxtfif7uloo[Version: 2.3.8

✓ Okay, but here’s the problem….I am a music producer and songwriter, and i’ve been using GarageBand for almost 5 years. Here’s the thing: GarageBand is great for simple songs and anything without complex vocals, keys, etc. But when you want to do detailed recording + editing, GarageBand simply doesn’t have the complexity that other music production software does. With this being said, GarageBand is a great starter tool and the best free production software i’ve seen. Here are some suggestions: Make it so you can tweak the vocals exactly. I know you can do it with piano, guitar, etc., but if you could pitch the singing to be the exact note you want, that would make any flats or sharps in it less noticeable. On the note of singing, I also think that there aren’t a lot of filters on the audio recorder. It would be nice to add some more that would actually be useful (crowd vocal options, main singer options, etc). Also, I really wish there were more loop options, especially acoustics. Most of them are some type of R&B or Hip Hop, so adding more genres for the loops would be beneficial. Thank you for reading, and please take this into consideration..#ElyseLillian2010Version: 2.3.12

✓ LOVE THIS APP!!This app is great for pretty much everything. The virtual amplifiers are great and the whole app is easy to use. There are live loops (that sound amazing by the way) for beginners and even 4 different auto play sounds on each instrument. And to add to that there are barley any in app purchases if any!Yes not quite as technologically advanced as the MacBook version but still amazing and I don’t think we really appreciate any more of how amazing the technology is and the fact we can carry about 50 so instruments and a load of live loops, drummers and more in one reasonably sized app. I 100% recommend this app if you have not already got it..TheproofappsVersion: 2.3.7

✓ Amazing but bugs need fixingI have just returned to this app in the hope of using the automation remix functions to make choppy beats. It works great - record a simple beat and then record automation of the fx using beat repeat, delay and a host of others. You then ‘merge’ the tracks to record as audio. The problem is I want to build up a layer of this. I have encountered loads of bugs here - the fx greys out and stops working, you cannot delete the fx properly (it may be still playing even if the automation is not). Don’t let this detract from a fine app. I just think it needs some sorting out to be more logical for those interested in using its more extravagant features. Alchemy is the best sounding synth for out of the box creativity. Don’t let us down Apple. Sort out the bugs!.Natto_manVersion: 2.3.6

✓ Love it! But I have a huge problem.I love the app but I have a problem. I’m making a pretty long medley. Roughly 350 measures in total. It’s been playing back and working well. Every so often, it says “Optimizing performance…” which is pretty normal, although it takes a while. Anyway, it just happened, I waited, and somewhere in the middle I got a “storage almost full” alert. I let it finish optimizing, and then I went into settings and cleared roughly 8GB of data. I go back into GarageBand, and my audio wasn’t working. So I closed it and re-entered. It was working again, but cutting out at some parts. So I closed it again and reset my phone and tried again. After a few tries, I discovered that it now works all the way until about measure 219 or so, and then the audio cuts off. But it doesn’t cut off all together. Certain instruments go about one beat before the others. What is that all about? I would be really upset if I really just lost 100 measures of audio. Please respond to this or update or help me somehow. I’m really worried..LsahjspjsohauvibojdVersion: 2.3.7

✓ More ideas for you...Love Garage band and have been using it for years. Really enjoy messing around with all different sounds and effects etc but...here’s an idea. How about the ability to assign and change time signatures, also, give more time signatures to choose from. I use GB as a metronome and a playback for when I’m learning songs. I’m currently learning a piano piece that has a few time changes every few bars, from 3/4 to 4/4 then the odd 2/4 as well. It would be great if we could use the ‘add section’ and change each one to a different time sig..BykerzVersion: 2.3.7

✓ GarageBandGarageBand is an ok app, but it can be a bit hard to play the piano as the keys are quite thin and you can’t reach the higher notes or the lower notes without scrolling or pressing buttons, which can be annoying if you’re trying to record a song. Otherwise this is a great app! I think it’s really fun! Definitely get this app! Also I have a few suggestions. #1 It would be cool if there was a feature in GarageBand which you can use to write songs. A bit like a mini version of the app Notes but in GarageBand. #2 It would also be better if there was a feature where you can draw a cover pic for your song. I understand if not as that’s a lot of work, and if it might not be possible or reasonable as there are apps like Procreate where you can draw anything and add that, but I would love to have that in there. -BattleKittysBiggestFan🐱🎀✨.Furry kitten✨!Version: 2.3.14

✓ Stop complainingThis is a user friendly app even though it takes a while to get the right tune if you’re making like song or something it has fine quality and bugs have been fixed I think they did a good job on this app and yet everyone is whining because they decide to spend hours on something that’s their choice so stop complaining because you do something that takes a while. This app is amazing and I would be lying if I said otherwise download it if you want but it’s a amazing app. And no I was not set up to say this..Bjo86Version: 2.3.12

✓ So Addictive, but…I love GarageBand, and I’ve been using this app since I was probably 3 years old so I’m very familiar with it but that doesn’t mean it’s the best app, it could improve and here’s why… 1. More Instruments. Now this is quite an obvious one but GarageBand is lacking a lot of instruments and its even lacking types of instruments for example there are only 5 types of different guitars and there not great. The only exception is the keyboards and drums because there are heaps of those instruments. I would like more strings, bases, guitars, banjos, special world music drums, mandolins and so much more. 2. The Sound Library. You think the sound library is amazing and has the answers to all your instrument problems but no, it’s just for the Live Loops. It’s fake, it sounds bad and it has no good music in it. There’s not much else I can say now but don’t use this. 3. And finally, Amplifiers. I don’t no why they added this because it’s pretty useless and hard to use. It doesn’t even work as a good amplifier so don’t use it. You waist a lot of time trying to work it out so just don’t bother. There is so much more that I could tell you but it would go on forever. Your probably thinking, why would give this a 4 star rating if I have complained so much, well, I love GarageBand and there is so much amazing music you can make so definitely bye GarageBand because you won’t regret it..Musical PerspectiveVersion: 2.3.14

✓ AwesomeSuper easy to use yet still surprisingly powerful and versatile for a free mobile app. I’ve been using it to make music for years and have yet to find anything else that comes close to how good this app is. It’s amazing how many instruments and customisation options there are. Recommended for everyone, even complete beginners can jump straight in and start creating! Only issues would be are a lack of brass instruments and there are only a few different guitar sounds. The 32 track limit is also frustrating..Brendan HeadVersion: 2.3.3

✓ Please read thisI think this app is awesome! But just the size is a bit to big. If you could reduce the size down to about 1GB that would even be great. Thanks Apple.WhatsUpTobynVersion: 2.3.7

✓ Fantastic!Absolutely amazing. I have made many tunes and songs from this app, and the way it is free baffles me. I find it very easy to make a tune and I love the way it has a guide to start you off! The sounds of the instruments are phenomenal and I'm in love with the voice recording studio, the way you can alter the sound of your voice to be robotic, auto tuned and many more is great and I would totally recommend this app to anybody who likes to experiment with instruments and making songs then this is definitely the type of app for you! Although this app is amazing already, I do think it has some more potential. Such as: adding in instrument guides to popular songs, or be able to tune the guitars. I say this because I am learning on the guitar to play somewhere over the rainbow (and I am doing pretty well for no guide) but some of the keys are off and all I need to do is tune it slightly to make it perfect. To the developer of this game, I hope you see this and great game! Would recommend!.JenTheStar221Version: 2.3.5

✓ Good gameAwesome music anyone will love!.Christine jackyVersion: 2.3.10

✓ FartsLast time I used this one time to my phone and my internet is working so I don’t know what if it works out for you but I’m not sure what what time to happen when you are in town and if you have any one more than you can do it will be fine if I need your money to go eat it again and I’ll give it back when you come home and I’ll give you a mommy call me when you can go to get my internet and I will give you a call later when I can do it on my internet and I don’t have internet connection so I don’t have internet connection so I don’t have internet access so I’m not sure if I can do it but it’s just a mommy I don’t want it on everything I need it for me and my internet connection so I don’t have internet connection so I don’t have internet connection so I don’t have internet connection but it’s a random error 😨 my password was on the queen 🤴 and my friend request was my password to go commit and then why did it go do I have it in the queen 🤴 my phone is yes it was for like my phone and it didn’t let us go..NdbsbegVersion: 2.3.14

✓ Great App, but there’s one thing…This App is great for creating music, especially beats and Hip-Hop Related Music. There is one thing that I think would really help the app. A more specific Tempo. Instead of just having 100, 101, 102, etc; there should be a more specific Tempo with decimals, such as 100.1, 100.2, 100.3, etc. This really helps with looping samples, chopping up samples to their exact BPM (especially hard when the instruments in the sample are not quantized) and more. I really hope you can add this feature, it id the only thing Garageband Mobile is missing..Candy-GammerVersion: 2.3.12

✓ To all the people who love playing music and singingThis is a great game to play and I am one of the people who loves to sing and dance to music l, if you have a dream to become a musician or a singer GarageBand can help you to try all kinds of instruments and if you want to be a singer you can create a beat to sing to and before you know it your dream will come true so give GarageBand a try and for fill your dreams. When I’m older I want to be a singer and a write my own songs GarageBand has helped me to stay confident and I am actually working on a new song right now and I have loads of fun making the music 😃 Even if you don’t like music you will feel like you are the spotlight and keep it up and you will be the spotlight. Thank you.😃.👻asome person👍😄Version: 2.3.7

✓ What more do you want for gratis 🙄A DAW for free, one that’s extremely user friendly, especially when compared with say Ableton, which should come with a “degree in music production needed” warning, if you ask me and I’m not a total dum-dum. I don’t know what else you could want really, the amount of built in stuff is very impressive, then there’s the app’s that work alongside GB from reverb through instruments to auto tune and more, just make sure your device has a good amount of free storage is my only warning… Excellent as is and definitely a good starting ground if you’re wanting to learn music production with the intention of moving over to the more advanced features of big brother and paid app Logic Pro X.Mikee NVersion: 2.3.11

✓ It’s good igJust read all these reviews and most of them are from 5yo ago 💀 anyway I mean it’s a good app, I play piano so it’s literally just fun to play the piano on the app and just play the tunes I know, and then I get absolutely astonished when it actually works the same as an actual piano, but if I’m being honest I think apple has just gave up with updating it, it’s fun to go on once and a while if your REALLY bored, just wish it would stop deleting itself and then taking a whole generation to load back..Lucky☘️dragon🐲123Version: 2.3.14

✓ Brilliant!So when I first got this I was experimenting with all the sounds. And surprisingly they sounded just like the real instruments! Im saying this because when I got another music app the guitar was so bad. On the other hand I highly request this for people who cant get or aren’t allowed to the instrument: E.g For many years I've wanted drums but at that time we were moving house so I waited for the time we moved. After that our house was tiny and unable to fit drums in.😑. So when I got this app I was very in to it. My parents asked me if I wanted a drum kit and I replied: “Why have a giant kit when you can have a transportable one?” Now they have the app and love it..The one the only LIZARMANVersion: 2.3.3

✓ Vocals…This game is brilliant I play it quite often and it’s fun making your own ringtones. I was loving it from the start. But… it is quite a complicated game and beginners like me might need a tutorial I haven’t found one at all that worry’s me for garage band because their rating might go down and things like that. Also when you’re making a song you might want it to sound professional yes don’t get me wrong you can do that but when I go into the game there is a lot of different instruments. But if you really want vocals I have found you have to record them yourself??? Why record them when you can get like preset ones for example the vocal from Worlds Smallest Violin. You could use those song’s vocals for your song and that would be really nice and make the game much more enjoyable for me personally because I play this every time I can and the songs in the end make me feel a lot happier. Please respond developers and please fix these two things it would make your ratings a lot better. Have a good day 🤗🤗🤗.Under_ abus 🚎Version: 2.3.14

✓ Great App But...Sometimes when I’m trying to make a random riff or just anything on guitar (maybe not just guitar) some notes won’t play and I don’t know if it’s some silly feature or a glitch, but it would be great if you were able to fix it 👌.Rich gamer 29 richVersion: 2.3.7

✓ Extremely good music maker app 😁😁As soon as I tried it I made a cool beat, Although you should make it so you can import it to your iTunes so you can listen to it on the go. Other than that I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get into music making..Xxdemondudex6xVersion: 2.2.2

✓ Amazing, but a few suggestionsI’ve been using GarageBand for years now, and I absolutely love it. It’s easy to use and record, the quality is really good and you can export it basically anywhere. I’ve recently downloaded some sound packs, and they’ve absolutely changed the game (well, app) for me. They allow for more varied instruments and changes which overall improve the quality of my music. That being said, I’d love some guitar themed sound packs (electric/acoustic/bass), especially some different guitar makes/instruments!.GameWinner56Version: 2.3.12

✓ The worst News ever.I love this app. Ive used it every day for 5 years. I just found out my iphone 6 will not update to ios 13. So i dont get to make music anymore. Or even hear the songs i made. I can literally barely breathe after finding this out. Farewell Garageband and thanks for all the Jams. I dont want to go back to FL Studio.🤕😢.JunkysnakeVersion: 2.3.8

✓ I love this app!When i got my 13 in march it was already loaded to it and at first it was so complex i didnt mess with it much. After i had to wait around a few times i found the things i enjoyed the most about it that far… sadly i had a tagalong in my cloud using data like a crackhead and calling apple and sprint/tmoble several hundred times did me no good and they have been trained well. The first thing they asked who did YOU give youre apple id or imei to… the same stuff happend to two phones one i expected it to happen to the other id had high hopes but it didnt last long and the isd breach caused the device to green screen and paying my bill was also a giant hassle. They claimed i had service so they wanted their money… i still havent paid for august-now and unless i get a few $k ill be getting a flip phone and wearing foil on my head when i turn this 11 on… its connecting to wifi with no carriere service… i feel pretty let down being a customer since 2018 i did enjoy the extras but im unable to afford the trouble involved with any smart phone… when someone tells you iphones are unhackable ask how the imei in every phone is protected… i hate all phones now… it was a waste of money and a useless investment…..Jrodswifey14Version: 2.3.13

✓ Quick, easy, intuitive recordingHaving used professional recording software like Cuba’s, Protools and StudioOne, I think GarageBand is an excellent entry to recording with many of the most useful features of those more complex programs but without the hassle. For me the only missing feature is midi export which is a bit frustrating. If it was added as a feature, this make GB the #1 App for demo creation, allowing quick and portable writing, recording and arranging of new material which could later be easily exported to professional DAWS if the tracks were worthy of the full recording process. I see huge benefits in this one small addition. The midi functionality is already there, midi tracks can be created and edited... we just need to be able to export them to a universal file format..JC27inOZVersion: 2.3.10

✓ Issue recording vocals stops recording and doesn’t record anything you’ve recordedAnyone know how to solve this recording stopping no matter how I record anything thru physical mic on iPhone 6s it use to record just fine. I’m about to purchase an iMac Pro and midi keyboard. Over the years I’ve tried all the daws garage band I can actually have finished work. I absolutely love it! MacBook experience wasn’t the best but it was an MacBook from 09 iPad Pro super impressed! So I can’t wait till I get the iMac Pro! I’m holding an pretty chart rank currently 17th global and 14th national chart rank. Trying to maintain this momentum until the iMac. GarageBand you tha best well tie with logic minus the new samples and loop packs! Alltho I use external more I still love physically playing the instruments that’s super dope! I now know how to play piano/keyboard and never played before. Does anyone know how to fix this recording stopping? Space seems to be the issue as always. Haha so I’m sure it’s the space problem. I deleted the app and re downloaded it and permanently lost roughly 20-25 new projects. Keep the live instruments coming definitely pretty dope! Especially playing drums and keyboard definitely give GarageBand an overall 6+ stars if I could cut samples that would be nice. Much love GarageBand been with ya guys and only you for almost 5 years now. -Khanflik-d.KhanflikkVersion: 2.3.8

✓ I love the App, but there’s room for improvementAs a blind musician, I want to say, this is by far the best app I’ve tried, and the most accessible. It’s very screen reader friendly, and works very well with apple’s built in screen reader, voiceover. However, there is something that I really think would make the experience better. When I customize the chords, for example, if I want a major 7th chord, when auto play is turned off, it plays the chord just fine, and it sounds exactly like a major 7th chord. When auto play is turned on, however, it only plays a major chord. It does not play the notes to make the major 7th chord. I’ve also noticed this in minor 7th chords. It will just play a regular minor chord in auto play. And it also doesn’t play 9th chords. Pretty much the custom chords have no auto plays that play the notes of the custom chord. Auto play only plays the basic major and minor chords respectively. I would really like to see an update that auto play will make the changes to custom chords. Other than that, very good, and I enjoy using it..AngelaPaulsonVersion: 2.3.3

✓ App is great, but needs to add some thingsThis app is a great way for beginners to get into beat making/producing, however It would be nice if you could add some sort of thing to change tempo or have different tempos in one song (Eg. 110bpm-125 bpm-100bpm etc). I just recon having a feature like this in this app would be amazing for people to let out all the creativity and make a good song while having fun. Having this ability to change tempo mid song allows people to experiment and not just have 1 type of temp throughout the whole song. I find it quite absurd how you have this feature for the mac but not on IOS/IPhones/IPads. Also, another thing I would love in this app is for it to have more 808 basses, more instruments to sample and just basically expand and add more options and to just do as much as you want in a song. I hope you read this and choose to make a couple of slight changes to let people have more fun and to let out all the creativity like I said before. Thank you for this great app, however there is always room for improvement..KarenOver9000🤬Version: 2.3.12

✓ AnfirmorMuch improved over the years, so full Marks there. At last some useful, audio tools to use. Great sounds and instruments and just improving. Now the big fail. Latency. Gaping, massive, crippling latency. With some of the audio input presets I could hardy speak with monitoring on the latency was so poor. So I tried the most basic preset and still the latency was awful. Funny there are no settings in the app or in general setting to alter or even see what the latency is. Such a shame. The excellent Multitrack Daw has managed to get latency (probably in software) down to less than 2mS. GarageBand is like waiting for a bus. Come on Apple. Latency is audio kryptonite. Please get a patch out soon. Latest bug fix update STILL MASSIVE, YAWNING LATENCY And still no improvement in latency. Can we at least have an audio selection with no effects at all. This should make it an easier proposition to get the lowest latency. You (apple) could ask pwnified, creator of the wonderful Multitrack DAW app how he can achieve very low latency when apple can’t. Nivember 2021 -ios15 PLEASE GIVE US A MASTER CHANNEL WITH PLUG-IN SUPPORT..AnfirmorVersion: 2.3.12

✓ Awesome But I Wish These Features Were AddedI’ve been using GB for a while now and overall it’s a really good DAW for mobile, at least when you get the hang of it. There’s just some things I wish were added to make the experience even more better. I get a lot of my sounds from online kits and there isn’t really a way to organize them since if you insert a file in the file section (the one with Apple Loops on the top right), it grays out the file and I can’t click on it. So basically I have like hundreds of mp3, wav and more files unorganized so most of the time I can’t figure out which file it came from. Another feature I wish was added is the time stretch feature. There is multiple ways to do this but you have to use the sampler and/or other apps to time stretch audio files which, in my opinion, is just time wasting and inefficient. It would be much more easier to just implement the feature itself into GB. Overall though, I would say if you’re new to making music and don’t know what DAW to start off with, I would choose GarageBand..Ok lol ok lol ok lolVersion: 2.3.14

✓ Just..... Incredible!As a music lover, having a free Digital Audio Workstation on my iPad has been absolutely essential (and FREE, might I add!). GarageBand is simply perfect in many respects, though it doesn’t seem to like not crashing in the ‘browse’ section. However, that’s minor considering that I don’t have to pay, oh I don’t know maybe $70, for a proper music app! I have no idea how I would’ve coped the past few School years without it! I’d have to give Apple a 10/10 for GarageBand!.4/3 people can't do mathsVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Let’s Do It!This is a fabulous app that is an absolute Must for writers/arrangers who get stuck alone (not good) at airports, parking lots, Etc .. The sounds are absolutely fabulous! I could pick nits and say that on cannot press the drum-stick into the drumhead depressing just enough to tighten the next strike to a different semi-tone ... but I won’t. It is great for mapping out numerous tracks of a song in your head with symphonic strings or Japanese instruments (of which I had never heard) but which sound very Celtic. It is a candy store with invisible, one -way lids: they keep the candy clean but you can reach right through and grab whatever you need for the next part of your song! It is absolutely almost all of the “Jetson-type“ musical things about which I dreamt as a child. Everything for a complete rainy afternoon at my fingertips! If you can imagine it, most likely you can write it on this with the use of myriad tools. It’s learning curve is practically idiot proof – as attested to buy my ability to use it with such ease. Get this wonderful app and open up all the windows you can find As You Need and use them: choose a few at the beginning and find out how incredibly wonderful it is as you add on to your knowledge and your abilities. I am waiting to hear that someone has used this for an entire movie score ... it will not be long in coming – if it hasn’t already happened! Thank you for presenting this app to all of us to use it! It is almost God-given!.Roctor11Version: 2.3.10

✓ GreatGarage band is such a good music creator and let’s you express yourself for no cost and I think that it’s great and perfect.Plopy1673(363Version: 2.3.10

✓ Wow. Just wowI am here to say that this is one of the best apps I have. I use the keyboard lots and love making songs with audio recorder. I made this weird hot dog one which I made remixes of for some reason. 😂 I even use this at school in music to make assessment pieces. The only thing I would change is add some more instruments. I personally play clarinet and would love to have that included somehow. Maybe you hold down the holes and then press a button to blow and hold it to keep blowing. A flute and trumpet would be amazing as well! There is no adds in this either! I have not come across any glitches and my experience with this game has been superb! Thanks for this marvellous game! 😀 Piggycorn Sparkle 🥳🤩.Piggycorn sparkleVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Amazing!This app has really made my musical skill way better! There is one thing I think they should add to the app tho. I think that’s should add a tuner!to tune our real life instruments. I think this should be added because there are very bad quality tuneing apps and Because GarageBand is such an amazing app I know they won’t let us down it will always be the best quality so no more struggling to find a good tuning apps! Carrying on to the good parts, GarageBand has a huge variety of instruments to try and to help with learning. Honestly I could spend the whole day making millions of songs with how much variety they have. I would definitely recommend this app to people trying to expand their musical skills..GodheyjdbdywrhueeurVersion: 2.3.14

✓ IPad Pro keyboard *Love the app I think it’s amazing, is there a possibility that you can make the iPad Pro keyboard function as a keyboard on GarageBand ?.FLIZKO_23Version: 2.3.6

✓ IOS 15.7.9Pls make it for iOS 15.7.9.لنبنينبنبنVersion: 2.3.15

✓ I love this app but plz add!So first of all you guys did a great job on this app but I would love it if you added more guitars so like a Stratocaster and more pedals because I actually play guitar and when I am away from it I like to play guitar related things so this is my go to app for that so I want the full experience of more pedals for all guitars and it would be nice if you added a ukulele and I would love it if you added more frets for the guitars on iPad but I don’t know what model my iPad is but plz add more frets, a few more guitars, more pedals, and I would love it if there was a way to palm mute or mute strings and a way to tune down your guitar while playing the app. So my overall review? I love this app but I just wish you could add a few more things so if you are a musician and you don’t have an instrument this will help and it’s fun too so devs at Apple keep up the good work and maybe make a shooting game on here because you guys are legendary so you could easily make that but anyway everyone I highly recommend this game!.DJ_NeonDeltaVersion: 2.3.10

✓ This app is great! I have made so many songs using it!One suggestion is maybe add some more, make it a bit more versatile with instruments and tones. Maybe a Stratocaster, a telecaster, and a Rickenbacker guitar, and rick’ bass too. Maybe also a musicman stingray bass. More classic guitar and basses, I know there is already a few classics there. There is pick bass and muted bass, maybe add a Slap bass? Also some more effects for the guitars would be cool, like drive, flange, chorus, maybe even autowah, and be able to change speed and depth of the effects? Just a few things that would be really cool to add. Thanks this is a great app! 👍🏼👍🏼.Thezed03Version: 2.3.7

✓ Apple HelpOk Ive almost finished my song I was really hyped but then the app crashed, so I tried to delete it download it again and it didn't help neither restarting the iPhone can anyone help please, plus I didn't save the song into my iCloud so I have to restart it😤😤😤..RkjsndcVersion: 2.2.2

✓ You can take this app more serious.Apple has really stepped up the mobile DAW scene with this update. There's NO mobile software out there that's better than GarageBand right now. I don't use much samples in my work so the added mixing features helps me customize and bring out my sounds even better now and I can finally practice touching knobs before I buy a Macbook and really start working on tracks at a more professional level. I started using GarageBand a year ago and it just gets better and better. *UPDATE* So I'm 2 years into using this app and I really learned a lot. You can make underground level tracks using the app alone it has a ton of features and if you know what your doing you can create really cool sounds. I have the alchemy synths (via iPhone 6) and they sound great so far. The electric drum kits need a new update like the keyboards did they sound a bit outdated at times with the new sounds. I think an updated 808 trap kit would be good and a few more basses other than all the dubstep ones. A couple of amps for guitar/bass would also be pretty cool! A few extra mixing effects wouldn't be a bad thing either I really learned a lot with that new feature and it's really key for beat makers to become real producers. Also if you really read these reviews apple you should add to the mastering options a bit as well. Just a few more options to help introduce beginners to the world of engineering more. Great app though keep up the great work we appreciate it!.JayOTOVersion: 2.2.2

✓ Can’t believe this is free!This app is loaded with musical tools and allows you to construct songs in a number of ways from looping to linear timeline. It supports auv3 plugins and has a huge roster of built in fx. MIDI editing is super easy, I’ve always struggled with it in the past but not here. This is simply an amazing music production tool for absolutely free, if I had to complain I’d say that the inter app audio is a bit annoying as you have to record external apps in order for them to persist (Drum Jam for example) - it’d be better if they could keep playing in the background when not visible. Apart from that I would most thoroughly recommend this app, I’ve recorded an entire album with it and it sounds amazing! Cheers for this Apple 👍🤘.BramblesackVersion: 2.3.12

✓ Great but limitedSo I’ve been using GarageBand iOS for over a year now and it’s good for being a free to use software and it comes packed with a lot of great sounds that you can adjust to your liking, the only issues I have are that you can’t transfer your save files over to the desktop version, which would be super handy for final touches and allow access to a more professional set up like microphones, instruments and plugins! Also in the new patch, the sampler seems to have been changed a lot and it’s super hard to find any type of way to add your own one shots or samples from your library, If I’m missing something, then I’d appreciate a small description of what’s changed and where things have been moved to! Other than that, good stuff! 🤟.JumbibzloaoaabahajaoVersion: 2.3.9

✓ Amazing!I really love this app because it seamlessly integrates with all of Apple’s other music apps (Music Memos and GarageBand for Mac). When I get an idea, I can record it in Music Memos where I can then add bass/drums to hear what it could potentially sound like. I can then import it into GarageBand for iOS in which I could play around with some instruments, some drums and some random sounds. If I then wish to evolve it further, I can then open it up in GarageBand for Mac with so setup or transferring - thanks to iCloud being able to conveniently sync my projects automatically; in which I can progressively improve my music on the Mac edition..Samferr16Version: 2.3.8

✓ Incredible App! An all-in one music software!This is a review I just had to do to give apple some credit. The thing that I think is weird is that it used to be £4.99 but now it’s free. There are two words I need to say about this pricing from going from £5 to FREE. Those words are ‘it shouldn’t’. The reason I say that is because it is probably the best music software you can possibly get on any IOS device. That just blows me away. That’s basically all I wanted to say so thanks for wasting 5 of your precious minutes reading this review! (Btw all of this was true I just added a bit of humour into it because why not! Bye!!!!!).Zac ColligonVersion: 2.3.6

✓ Some Suggestions?Hello! I’ve been a fan of GarageBand for a long time now- back before the Alchemy Synth and the orchestral instruments were added. It’s been great making music, whether it’s covers of songs or my own creations, but I do have a few things to suggest. Key changes and tempo changes. When you’re working on a song, there are times when you realize, “Dang. This needs a cool change!” Here’s what I’m thinking: When you duplicate/add parts or edit them, there’s a switch for key/tempo changes. When you turn them on, the app will ask what key you want to change it to, or the tempo screen will pop up and say, “What tempo will your song be?” or something. 😂 Ukulele. Please. People may‘ve been asking for this already, but please, please add this in! It’s a cute sounding instrument and for those of us who don’t own one but want to use one in our music, who better to ask than the GarageBand team? Otherwise, it’s a great app, and I love using it. I haven’t experienced any bugs so far, and I’m happy I haven’t! Keep doing what you’re doing, guys! ❤️ Peace out! ✌🏻.—• B •—Version: 2.2.2

✓ Best app everI’ve been a songwriter for 25 years and yet I’m no musician, I’ve always had to rely on other musicians to provide me with music to write my songs to, this has been frustrating and restrictive for many many years, GarageBand has changed all that and not only given me a platform to write completely solo and make great sounds but it’s actually been comprehensive enough for me to produce 5 decent quality albums full of music / songs that I have released into stores using nothing more than the GarageBand app only, I can’t praise this app and it’s quality and ability enough, it’s simply the best app ever to me personally and I thank the developers for this eternally. (Unsung Rimmo) 2018.RimfunkVersion: 2.3.7

✓ It is SO detailedSo, all of the worse reviews are 100% because the users didn’t try hard enough or put in enough time on this app, because I’m not saying it easy for a beginner to use all of the complex features on this app. People who complained that they got discouraged when they couldn’t figure out the app, just keep trying, because there is honestly NOTHING YOU CAN’T DO with this amazing app. One motive for this review is that I felt bad for GarageBand getting beat down by all the bad reviews of people saying that it was bad because it was too hard or they just hadn’t figured it out yet. (no offense to those people) GarageBand is truly one of if not the best mobile music maker apps out there, you just have to put in the actual time and effort to unlock a world of musical possibilities. My only problem, and this started happening very very recently, is that now my device crashes whenever I try to open it up, but its no big deal because I’m sure that it’s just a problem with my device, and if not, it will be fixed soon. 😄😄.Sarge23060Version: 2.3.5

✓ IVE FOUND A WAY TO GET GARAGEBAND ON OLD DEVICES!!You may remember when I said that there was no way of getting GarageBand on iOS 12. Well... there is a way, and I’m sure it will make you happier if you have a device that doesn’t support iOS 12. It’s very simple: When you enter the App Store, click the New button, and try to find an image of your profile at the top right. Then, click Purchased, and try to find GarageBand. Click the install button. It might say “Are you sure you want to download an old version of Garageband?”, but that doesn’t mean that you can have fun creating songs. Try that strategy! It’s as easy as 1.. 2.. 3.. ..Harry3727364621Version: 2.3.7

✓ I can’t download this. Why?I’ve had this app before but now it won’t let me download it again. I’ve deleted about half of my apps, photos and videos, maybe more, but it still won’t work. It starts of by loading fine, but after ten minutes at the same place it was at when starting to load, a reminder type thing comes up saying: ‘garage band’ can’t be downloaded at this time. I then click try again (or something like that) and it does the same thing again! I’m not sure if it’s a glitch on my type of iPad (iPad air 2) or if I still don’t have enough storage to store it. Is anyone else having this problem?.--8eagle--Version: 2.2.2

✓ Hardstyle, and better sound qualityPlease add more hard hitting instruments such as hardstyle or hardcore kicks like in a sound pack or something with hardstyle synths like sub zero project or d-sturb. Also, it would be good if you guys added punchy basses for psytrance. Basically garage band needs more music packs and it would be great to see an option with eq tampering and more effects for a single track. Sort of like FL studio but more simple. What would also be great is better sound quality, one main reason why I don't think I should use this app full time is because of the sounds. All of the keyboards and instruments seem that they need more treble and clear tone. Also we need more instruments in a project instead of 30 only. If this version of GarageBand had more tracks and higher BPM (for French core and hardcore) this would be a permanent option for me and I wouldn't have to pay extreme prices for an over complicated DAW. In conclusion, please add hardstyle, French core, and hardcore kicks (and synths). Make the sound quality better. And more effect tampering and eq tampering. Please read this..Spaceman2015Version: 2.3.9

✓ Amazing App, HoweverThis app is amazing, very versatile, very easy when mixing tracks and whatnot, the instrument section is great too, however, I do think some improvements can be made, I know this app has been around for a while so this probably won’t happen, but the option to tune the guitar/bass in whichever tuning you want would be a great feature, and also other guitars too, also being able to use the higher frets, this is just a suggestion but I would really love to see them in the app..TanatswaMustVersion: 2.3.14

✓ Apple PLEASE read!Hello my name is Caleb. I’ve been using garage band for many years now and I’ve always loved it from the start however there is a problem that I’ve run into recently that I hope you can fix. It’s a strange problem actually but garage band still deserves 5 stars anyway. So when I started using garage band there wasn’t as much content as there is now, less then a third probably. I was easily inspired to make music and could make neat catchy tunes every other day but now it’s harder to do that because there’s SO MUCH content it’s overwhelming because besides the five main things (guitar, vocals, drums, strings, and piano) there so many sounds like synths, bass, leads and such that I never know where to begin and I lose all interest in my creation, but I think that if you put a “sample” button on each sound so that we can hear just a single note at middle C or -1C for bass that would instantly get rid of the problem. Most of the time I know what sound I want but I can’t find it and I have to select a sound, play my song, and see if it’s the right one which takes to long with there being hundreds of choices. There might be this sound sample feature already and I just don’t know how to use it but if not please consider adding it. It would help so much and I’m sure I’m not the only one who would thank you..Some body you don't know.Version: 2.3.8

✓ More automation. (And other stuff)It’s almost sad that the all mighty lord Garage Band only has volume automation. I mean there are so many apps out there that are puny compared to Garage Band and still have all ten types of automation. Well, I think there are ten. Anyway, Garage Band needs this or I will lose my sanitttstyyujnbghj,oygxsyhddhhghgfgi. All of this aside, I absolutely LOVE GarageBand because there are SO many things that you can do with it. I’m a PsyTrance producer and I use this app all the time, and I have one last request: There should be a “Button that you can’t press” that shows the length of the song (in time units). And randomly when I’m working on a song the app “exits itself” (for lack of a better term) and when I enter it again all of my progress from the last time I entered the song is suddenly gone. Also none of the other reviews have gotten developers responses. Stop being lazy..Nazeem .cVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Great!I have made albums with this app! Now I’m getting into more electronic stuff, I can broaden my usage of the app via the loops, drum sequencer, and the alchemy synth, the latter of which is helping me in practicing the keyboard, if you can call it that..M1tchDrumm3RVersion: 2.3.8

✓ A little moreI will say that this is a great game but I think you should add some more. I think you should add some wind instruments for example the flute. Now I am a musician myself I play piano and sing so I know these instruments. I also think you should add some Percussion instruments. Other than that great game..MD-18:5-0Version: 2.3.12

✓ Good but....Sound stopped working but great game otherwise.XplanebobVersion: 2.2.2

✓ Broken appIt keeps saying that there isn’t enough storage I think the app is broken can you fix it please.PoevardVersion: 2.3.8

✓ PLZ FIX!!!!Ever since the new iso 13 update the my au/wav files have to be copied again on to my GarageBand. The process of copying takes way wayyyyyy🙄😂longer than it use to be. I’m on iPhone 7+ by the way.The Official Steve HansenVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Please add Triplet grid and Odd time signaturesI use this app to pass the time when I’m bored and I gotta say… I don’t think another free app exists that is as good or robust as this one. The keyboard patches can get dry at times but the audio recorder function is top notch. There are tons of drum patches but the “acoustic” drum patches sound absolutely terrible unless you put some work into them. I guess that is pretty normal on professional DAWS on your computer but I use this app to pass the time and really don’t want to spend 15 min trying to get my drums to sound like drums. Another downside I see is that the 4/4 grid is the only grid truly fleshed out in the app. If you switch to 3/4 or 6/8 (the only other options that exist at the moment) the app starts to have issues. If you try to paint notes on the grid it doesn’t quite land where you press and the grid goes directly from quarter notes to 32nd notes. And there is no triplet grid for any time signature. You just have to move notes around to where you think they might fall. Also, I wish there were more options for the time signatures themselves. I think on the computer you can just type in any subdivision you want and it creates a grid for you. But, all-in-all a great free app if not the greatest of free apps for the musically curious types..ChinChinChanVersion: 2.3.11

✓ Great!I really like it but I wish it took up less space. But otherwise really good. I wish I could rate it a 4.5 :).PorkncheezVersion: 2.3.12

✓ Thing I ❤️GarageBandIt’s so much fun you can make up cool funny songs and make a silly voice over it it’s very interesting 🧐 and your kids could just have fun with it and make songs for their games it’s so much fun but the storage is a lot and sometimes it doesn’t allow you to record it that’s what happens to me and now I have to download it make a new song and set up everything again so it a tie!.Diva bivaVersion: 2.3.11

✓ Awesome but things for the futureThis app is awesome but we need like a avatar thing so we could soo our avatar playing. And it would be cool if we did like an online rap battle with avatars but since this app is GARAGE band there should be a garage and we can customize. There should also be a chatting system so we can chat with our fellow rappers but if there is a chatting system there should be a friend system. Also there can be like a setting so that you can change your name and profile pic of your avatar. So if you do this this will make the game more interesting and cool and get more subscribers. Oh yeah and there should be like a thing where you can get clothes and more hairstyles but ya I think it can also ask for your gender there should also be a hair treatment so that you could do blonde fading into purple and all that stuff but I really think you should put this on your list. Please put this on your list thank you!!! From, Anonymous person that 💕 s the app.Sarah berhVersion: 2.3.12

✓ CRAZY POTENTIAL, but lacking some basics.If you’re looking to get into producing, GarageBand is definitely one of the easiest things to start with. It’s relatively easy to pick up and is simple to navigate. It takes MIDI input (at varying success rates) and the edit menu is generally very good for fine tuning (except for guitar tracks, with the 6 strings of the instrument having completely different midi tracks??) What it tends to lack in is more basic synthesis patterns. The closest I’ve been able to get to basic synthesis on this app so far without plugins required downloading a sound font pack. Even then, I found myself having to fumble with equalizers and distortion to get a moderately OK sounding sawtooth wave. The fact I had to go through that alone to get a basic wave is annoying but it’s not too bad when you take into consideration the ease of installing plugins into GarageBand. (Although a built in virtual analog synthesizer would be awesome, something similar to the Yamaha Reface CS in terms of simplicity and variety.) I do wish there were also more built in effect pedals. I frequently find myself wanting to use HP/LP filters and if the synth patch I’m using doesn’t have those built in I just have to deal with it. Overall, I’m very excited to see what the future holds for this app and I recommend it as a good platform for beginners through intermediate..John daconVersion: 2.3.15

✓ Tuning, and time signaturesHello! I love this app and I use it all the time to jot down music ideas I get through the day. One thing that I struggle with, though, is working around 4/4 or 3/4 or 6/8 when I’m trying to work in other time signatures. Things don’t meet up on the ones anymore and it’s a struggle to wrap my head around. Also, when trying to develop ideas in other tuning systems, like just intonation, it’s extremely tedious to 1. Record one midi string note 2. Merge that to itself so it’s just audio 3. Put that audio into the sampler 4. Adjust tuning by using the fine tuning feature 5. Merge new sample midi with itself so I don’t change the tuning for note a when I’m trying to change the tuning of note b. Can you add some way to make each sample track individual so when you adjust things like tuning, it only adjusts that one track and not all other sample tracks? Ideally I would like to have a feature where you can slide each individual note in a midi string track +/- 50 cents. Maybe even adding something like the current articulation feature but for tuning on each note. That way we can slide our notes up and down to the exact vent we want..ThenachokillerVersion: 2.3.14

✓ It’s very good for a free appYeah, this is very good for a free app, it has allowed me to make like proper songs and beats. A few things though. 1. There are just so many instruments you have to sift through to find the one you want, even if you know the name of it, but not it’s sub sub categories. It would be better if you could just search up the instrument you’re looking for. 2. There’s a HEAVY 80s funk and edm biase. Most of the stuff is that only, and there’s only like 50-60 loops for hip hop, and 100s of 80s funk loops and stuff. 3. The guitar sounds are trash add more please. 4. It would be so cool if you could change the speed in the middle of the song that would be maaad for like beat switches and stuff. Overall, VERY good app to get you started making some bangers..Vinchenzo26Version: 2.3.9

✓ It’s Amazing!GarageBand is definitely one of the best apps I’ve ever used. You can do so much with it, even on mobile devices. There are so many instruments, from analog, to synthetic, to even classical styles like piano and strings. It is so easy to use, and it has been by far the best app. Not only that, but you can even send a GarageBand song directly from your computer to Apple Music! If you have a mobile device, you can airdrop it to a computer and do the same. The only problem I’ve had so far is that it cuts out quite frequently, though that may be a storage issue on my own terms, because it happens with my other apps too. I’ve been using GarageBand for almost seven years now, and I have created an endless amount of songs. I think it is very good for beginners who want to become musicians, or even just for fun. Especially being a kid, I’ve always wanted to make music of my own, and this has been the best app to start pursuing my dream. Thank you, Apple 🙂.Youthkid23Version: 2.3.15

✓ ...I’ve been using this app for almost four years now, during a time which I knew close to nothing about music. After playing around for a solid year, this gave me a good grasp on the central workings of music, from a steady beat to more classical elements. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the amount of pack additions, especially in the last year or so. However, I do have some critiques. 1: I know it’s possible on some other interfaces, but there must be a way to look at the tracks and the instrument at one time. Going back and forth hasn’t been the best experience for me. 2: this is a little petty, but the loops need to be organized better. The fact that I have to look up ‘piano’ instead of just putting it into an instrument is ridiculous. Also, adding onto this, there should be more loops of different time signatures. 3: This is probably the worst of my critiques; where is Macne nana. I’ve heard of rumors that she was created by GarageBand, (hence the Mac) and I’d love it if there was any sort of text to song audio that could be used, especially if it worked the same as the sampler, or maybe even the smart drummers. Overall, this app is probably the best mobile music creation app I’ve used. The rest cost money for what can be done for free here..ShnsnsnssnnsnsnnsnsnsVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Strong points and suggestions for future updates.I'd say Garageband is a very good DAW for being freeware for buying an Apple product. So I'll mention some good things first: There are SO MANY choices with the new rollout of the Alchemy Piano Synth, I haven't even used them all yet! Not to mention the huge amount of sounds from the old piano. It's very easy to make a bangin' beat! The UI is the best I've seen, very user friendly, anyone could make music on this app. VERY USEFUL EQ AND EFFECTS. EXTREMELY EASY TO SORT PROJECTS. I LOVE THE PRESET VOCAL EFFECTS AND INSTRUMENT EFFECTS. It's so hilarious because, compared to the other $200+ DAWs out there, Garageband can do pretty much the same amount and it's really really REALLY cheap. You can make high quality music, which is why some music artists use it. BUT... There's alot of things in the app that the user has to sort of "deal" with. Here are some I can remember off the top off of my head: When doing live loops, I noticed the loops would freeze visually when looping, and it throws me off track everytime it does it (which is everytime I use the live loops.) It never did it before, and no, I am almost certain it is not because of me. When copy-pasting onto a live loop edit, sometimes the thing you copy and paste disappears when you paste it to another section. I'm pretty sure this happens when you copy-paste actual audio in the edit if I'm not mistaken. Some vocal effects need tweaking, the biggest example being the Vocal Transformer, because it breaks the audio of the vocal making it sound horrible. You should make it easier to sample audio off of iCloud, because the list of the samples keeps expanding with the amounts of things I sample and it can get hard to find the certain audio bit I selected off of iCloud. I also noticed when exporting a song to iCloud, the mix of the song gets messed around with; making some elements sound quieter and less "bangy" as they did in the mix on the iPad. This is extremely frustrating, as I have no idea how this happens, it should stay the same after exporting. Sometimes, when playing a loop during a recording, a note from a synth or other instrument will sound extremely distorted throughout the length of the recording, so I have to totally restart the recording sometimes. I have also noticed using apps like IM1 with Garageband give this "crackle" feedback when looping (I make all songs using the live loops which is a very useful tool) the sound from the Audio Unit. This happens alot when I try to use a virtual piano app with Garageband, so I always have to find a work around. The velocity and quantization of built-in drums are always off and weird when recording, so I always have to turn the velocity up and reassign the quantization of the drums to how I wanted them. Quite recently, some of my GarageBand files on my iPad got corrupted, some files were music I had worked on for days, and they can't be fixed. And I also noticed when mixing a beat together, when you budge the volume of an element the slightest amount, it greatly increases the velocity and volume, this happens alot with sampled elements. FX is useless, because it doesn't work at all; even when I playback the song from the start. It just doesn't work, and it's a shame because FX makes some songs very interesting. There's so much more to be discussed, but I can only remember so much. Maybe I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for some of the things here, but I think these are some pretty strong points..Own_Version: 2.2.2

✓ Great app but one thing...I think the entirety of the app is great, the different drums/machines, synths/pianos, guitar, basses and every other instrument. The way you can quantise different instruments and change things like reverb and delay. There is one thing though, I think it would be good if you could transpose/down tune/up tune the guitars, basses, orchestra and drum kits. I think if this was added, it could add a lot more to the already packed game/app. Other than that, I think it is a great app to have fun on..Hed JudsonVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Okay 👌🏼It is a fun app and amazing but I would like to point out that when I try to make the free ringtone or whenever I go on the app it goes dark and I can’t see the musical instruments I can click on the icon but as soon as it goes in the music part nothing is there apart from the record sign, the stop and the play button. Then if I try to put the music in there is no lasso loop in the right hand corner. I wanted to make a free ringtone because it’s so much work if you download it onto the computer and I don’t want to waste money on ringtones. This ringtone part has worked for my friend and she keeps trying to explain but nothing is there for me what they’re talking about. I have deleted it and reinstalled it about 7 times and nothing has happened. I do wish this glitch could be fixed. I hope you see this review and fix it. I do suggest this app because it is amazing however this minor glitch is getting in the way. Download this app it is great. I hope this glitch can be fixed right away..Hello 🐶🐻🐶Version: 2.3.8

✓ Live loops is awesome but...Cant find a keyboard shortcut or MIDI command to allow a simple command like “Next Loop Section” and “Previous Loop Section” or even just one shortcut for “Trigger Focused Loop Section”! This would allow one to gig just using an iPhone/iPad playing backing sections of a song, with say the solo artist on their guitar where they can use an XSONIC AIRSTEP or other Keyboard/MIDI foot switch to trigger next/previous section for instance. Even better would be just have one shortcut for trigger focused loop section and this would add even more awesomeness. One can use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keyboard shortcuts to go up or down the loop sections without triggering them, and then hit the trigger shortcut to let that next section trigger after the previous loop sections bar is done. Please, oh please, Apple GarageBand app developers, this should be a walk in the park for you! May be even my suggestion isn’t clean enough design wise, then may be a bunch of shortcuts dedicated to Live Loops mode will make it super awesome!.Nishal ThomasVersion: 2.3.10

✓ GarageBand review, great audio software, but room for improvementI recently started using GarageBand to record my voice for podcasting, and while I've been enjoying the software overall, I've noticed a couple of issues that I wish could be improved. Firstly, I've found it difficult to get to the end of a recording quickly without having to fast forward through the entire track. It would be great if there was a quicker way to get to the end of a recording, such as a skip button or a way to set markers to navigate to specific points in the track. Secondly, when I try to add a track to the end of an existing recording, I've noticed that GarageBand doesn't always place the new track at the very end. This can be frustrating when I'm trying to keep my recordings organized and in a specific order. Overall, I think GarageBand is a great software for recording and editing audio, but these small issues have been a bit of a hindrance to my workflow. I hope Apple can consider these suggestions for future updates. Sincerely, James.James BattagliaVersion: 2.3.14

✓ Cutting up samples would be greatI love GarageBand on my iPhone 6s I’m able to do most of my recording on the go. What would top this app off is if there was some way you could cut up songs for easy sampling. Unless there is away and I haven’t found out yet but if there isn’t then I hope you guys would consider it. I think a lot of people who love to sample songs would love it..YemiASIVersion: 2.3.6

✓ Do people even read these lol? I know I do.Perfect really, but could you please make a limitless amount of layers? Some songs are left unfinished when I reach that 13 mark. (At least I think it’s 13). Also, maybe more orchestral loops? More fills and solos and such. So loop-tracks don’t sound so repetitive. Thanks. Just to say I’m seriously enjoying this app. I don’t have a MacBook. And instead an Acer and forgot about the IOS thing. Wanted to try it out on a computer..Maximus By the HornsVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Brilliant App But 1 IssueI’ve been making songs for years on GarageBand as it is a brilliant software to compose music on. However, recently I discovered that not one but every single song I’ve ever made and saved has been deleted. There appears to be no way of retrieving them either. My iPad has been low on storage for a while now but I don’t understand why it would just decide to delete, without my consent, all of my music that I’ve worked hard on. I would appreciate it if someone could explain either why this happened or how I retrieve my music. Thanks. :’(.BlookybyglamourVersion: 2.3.11

✓ Pretty darn goodThis app has come a long way. The touch instruments sit in a mix really well, I’ve used GB for remixes handling 1+ gb of stems on an iPad Air 3rd gen and it performs admirably. It hosts AUv3 instruments and effects (for some time now) so there’s really no limit to the sounds you can get in here. The editing is really straight forward and behaves how you’d want it to. There’s re-key and stretch on recorded audio and it works pretty well in my opinion. Honestly, it’s nearly the total package… my ONLY gripes are that I’m missing a proper mix bus, like with a master channel, and I’m missing out on more automation. I know you can automate knobs on the internal instruments but there’s not a way to visually edit that after the fact, which is a bummer. I do understand this wouldn’t be trivial to add. But maybe one day… For the price, you can’t go wrong. I’m even really happy with some of the amp sims (both guitar and bass) lately. Also it works just as well on the phone as it does on the iPad, which you can’t say for all universal apps..IammaneVersion: 2.3.13

✓ No support for old IOS versions.I’ve used this app before and it’s really good, the only problem is that now IOS 13 has been released, I can no longer download the app as IOS 13 is not available for download on my iPad. Another issue I have with this app is that every few minutes or so the app decides to optimise the performance of my project which can get extremely frustrating! Please do something about this, such as adding a setting for automatic performance optimisation. I’m sorry to leave such a negative review on such a great app, but you need to fix this 😕.Mouldy guacamoleVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Great app for a little fun.I have a lot of fun during garage band, you can make some sick tracks sometimes, but it is a bit hard to navigate, first you trying to find lets say heavy metal, but you accidentally click something and don’t know how to go back to the page you were on, that’s what happened to me. Actually a great game overall and I have learnt how to switch from screen to screen more easily, just was saying how new downloaders might not be able to navigate this quickly, that’s all..ZiroKabiVersion: 2.3.8

✓ APP DEVELOPERS PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!Don’t worry, I’m not passive-aggressive like some of the other people here… he he… I’ve been using this app for years, all through primary school and am still using it through high school as well, at school and at home. I do have some things I want to say, though: WE NEED MORE MUSIC GENRES!!! I would also love more loops as well. I myself love punk rock and chillhop ( a blend of jazz, hip-hop and Lofi)… I know, they are very different things, ha ha… but I would love to see more music genres like that so I can create songs inspired by my favourite artists. About the loops, more guitar loops would be great, as well as some ukulele ones!! I think that’s all, really. If you developers get round to reading this, well… great! Amazing!! I really hope to see more genres and loops in the future!!!.SpaceKid157Version: 2.3.8

✓ AwesomeI love this app. If you can’t play guitar and piano at the same time get this app! I can make amazing songs..AmazonAllieVersion: 2.3.3

✓ I use it for my ringtone :DThis is an amazing app if you want to make a voicemail, ringtone, alarm, etc. for your iPhone! It’s simple and easy to use.Kat hihihihi pieeeeVersion: 2.3.10

✓ HmmmmHonestly, I had a decent time..Eremy LuVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Headed in the right directionI love what Apple’s done with GarageBand and GarageBand iOS over the past few years, and I’m glad that now you can import and playback MIDI files on GarageBand iOS. HOWEVER, I’m still waiting for Apple to allow the EXPORT of MIDI files FROM GarageBand Mac & iOS. That would be a feature I could use that would round out the app as a near-“proper” DAW. That aside, I love the Alchemy presets and all the ways you can tweak them to create your own unique patches, plus the great user interface which makes it easy to use for both people new to making/recording music and longtime producers/DAW users. I’d also like to throw in though, that while I don’t generally use them myself, as well-crafted as the (post-2016) built-in and downloadable loops are, they’re pretty much only for EDM and dubstep music, maybe occasionally scratching the surface of pop-trap beats and glitch-hop. I’d personally like to see more loops that lend themselves to old-school hip hop or something. P.S. — This is all coming from someone who has used multiple DAWs (GB being a constant usually) separately and together, for many different styles/genres of music, electronic and otherwise. 🙂.Seth DravenVersion: 2.3.7

✓ Please add the ability to change the pitch of inserted audio filesIt gets really annoying to have to change the pitch outside of the app and reconvert it. I like this app, but this feature would make me love it..GuidoMista4444Version: 2.3.8

✓ Great but could use workI think this app is great! It’s perfect for musicians, and if your just starting your music career this a perfect helper. Usually I just like to play around with the digital instruments and make instrumental songs. This app actually kinda helped me learn guitar (though that not my official instrument) and taught me a lot about music. But, I’m giving this app 4 stars, for a few reasons. First of all, there’s not a lot of options for different instruments to play. Basically it guitar, bass, keyboard, drums and a couple other random world instruments. I would love to see them add brass or woodwind instruments and/or other types of world instruments (sitar, bagpipes, xylophone, etc.) Also, the acoustic drums are terrible. I’m a drummer, and I’m good with screens. But every time I play a beat, (mind you I play with a metronome so I know I’m playing in time) it records some terrible sounding sloppy beat that I never played. So all in all, this a a pretty good app for beginner musicians to get started recording music, but does have a couple small flaws..Crime ladyVersion: 2.3.12

✓ NEEDS SERIOUS BUG FIXESOkay the program works great, but once you add some FX, get ready for rage quit. The program will take at least four bars to get in time and in Tune for some weird reason and it’s quite annoying when you can’t get an idea out because the program is having ridiculous issues. On top of that, there has been multiple times where the program won’t even launch, and when it does all of my data isn’t there. It seems to be a serious hassle when your data isn’t there and you got to reset your iPad and reload the program 100 times before you can even enjoy yourself. I have even downloaded this programs most recent update along with my software update and these problems are still here. As far as I am concerned you people are lucky this program is cheap and is easy to work with when the issues are not present. As of right now, I wouldn’t even give this program a star for the problems that come along with it. And when the problems are fixed, I’d give it six..HohokittenVersion: 2.3.3

✓ Help me with song writing!!I have been writing a song for my bestie and I couldn’t find an app to get the right instrument but finally found garage band it really helped me to finish her song right on her bday so a big thanks to garage band for helping me out!.Foxyplays04Version: 2.3.8

✓ Great game needs more stuffOne if my most favourite games on the app store. Great job Apple. I play it every day and discovered something: the ability to plug in your guitar is limited due to having to buy Irig which is a pain. With all the effects on the choice to plug your guitar in these effects are awesome but i have never got to try them. When you get into smart guitar or tho play notes i wish you could chiose those effects for the guitar plugger like auto wah which id love to try. And also maybe try and put in more types if guitars and basses and mostly drums Please takes these questions and conplaints into consideration by the way best game EVER.Guitarplayer321Version: 2.3.5

✓ Unable to share via messengerSup devs, easiest studio app to use by far. Currently am unable to share via messenger though. Please fix and I’ll come back to 5stars 👌🏽.Jet nzVersion: 2.3.2

✓ AmazingThe best DAW ( digital audio workstation) on the planet! It’s awesome! There is a lot it does not do compared to other industry leaders like Avid (Protools) Sony (Soundforge) Adobe (Audition) propellorheads, fruity loops, etc etc which are all amazing too! GarageBand is built into Apple devices its handoffable in pieces, parts or as whole songs and soundtracks it easily interfaces with modern studio equipment for mastering by audio engineers etc etc 6 out of 5 stars! Often the best audio solutions come from the simplest of sources and GarageBand allows you to capture sound and manipulate it in a trillion different ways :D best wishes your on the right path downloading this!.IVIr.IVU2ICVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Its goodIts good.1122sofaiscoolcoolVersion: 2.3.14

✓ The best DAW on iPhoneI’ve been writing songs with this app since its arrival and while there are some serious irritations, it has come a hell of a long way in terms of sophistication in mixing, fx, smart instruments, etc. There is a huge world of musical creativity at your fingertips here and the quality of what you can produce with a bit of practice is very good. Seriously. Until Nanostudio 2 arrives, this will remain my iOS DAW of choice. Oh and the serious irritation? Just the fact that Apple deliberately restrict functionality here and there, e.g. not allowing GB to be an input source for audiobus! Just petty..The ClocktoysVersion: 2.3.5

✓ Problems, Solutions and Requests.There are way too many keyboards which is good but it makes it pretty hard to browse the huge library. Can we have the option to star our favorite keyboards like in apple loops to make browsing easier. Browsing drums can also be a pain because sometimes i like the kick of a drum machine but the snares or hi hats are bad so i have to go load through the hundreds of drums machines until i find some good ones. Can you add a custom drum machine where you can add any kick, snare, etc from any drum machine and be able to save those custom drum machines and also have the ability to favorite the the individual samples from drums to make browsing easier. We also need more cinematic drums! Lastly we need a master track so we can master our songs for free or at the very least be able to export wav files at -6Db so we can master using a 3rd party app. No matter how low i have the volume, when i export wav files its always pretty loud so there’s no room for mastering. Thank you for your time and consideration..Exalted GolemVersion: 2.3.12

✓ Dear Apple:I love this app so much. I am not a professional music designer and I would be lying if I said I was, so this app works great for my intents and purposes, but I think there are a few missing features that could very well revolutionize GarageBand music designing: 1. Exporting iPad/I OS GarageBand files to Music. PLEASE PRIORITIZE THIS FEATURE This is already a thing on OSX (MacOS), but I would like to be able to export my GarageBand files to Music without many disappointing attempts at back doors and bypasses. 2. Add pitch correction for ALL blue audio samples/recordings. One of the problems is that if I record audio, then I can use Settings -> Follow Tempo & Pitch -> Semitones +|-, but with imported audio (not just from the sound library) I rarely am able to. 3. Sound pack request. This is a simple request for some new sounds. There are many times when I feel as though the “other” category should be renamed. Often times I find myself attempting to substitute an accordion with the Toy Melodica, or a saxophone with a clarinet and oboe/bassoon. I think the pack(s) should include: Almost the entire family of woodwinds The entire brass family A few more world instruments I hope you read this and will take these into consideration, and I REALLY appreciate the royalty free sounds..Punch1252Version: 2.3.10

✓ Very good best in the App Store (in my opinion)Very good game I’ve made so many songs on this app and it jump started my music career! Thanks!.AlboomoVersion: 2.3.9

✓ It's AwesomeI love the app but I want the more Chinese instruments so I can create beats with it.Lilsisco1Version: 2.2.2

✓ Great AppI’m in my fifties now and I played in bands when I was young. Fast forward 30 years and I’ve hardly touched a guitar or piano in the interim... ...then I start fiddling around with GarageBand and it totally blows me away. You really don’t need any background in music tech at all when using this app. It’s incredibly intuitive and the interface is perfect for those of us who couldn’t face a full-on DAW costing £££. The results? During lockdown I recorded 8 songs on this app and I’m delighted that I managed it. There’s so much scope here and it really invites creativity and innovation. I’m sure I’ve only just scratched the surface so far too. Brilliant stuff. Now if only I’d had this in 1986 you’d all probably own my Greatest Hits by now...okay, maybe not!.EnglishVegasVersion: 2.3.10

✓ NiceI made songs on it and id rate it a five.Minecraftlover731Version: 2.3.14

✓ Great appThis is a great app which can make anyone enjoy making music.Alfie200000000000000000Version: 2.3.12

✓ Almost perfectOk so I’ve been using GarageBand seriously for 3 years. And I’ve enjoyed making beats on it. I truly have. I think it just needs a little bit of adjustment. One thing I request is to add in a saxophone sound. I’ve been trying to make a chill beat with a saxophone in it and I’m not gonna buy a saxophone for this one beat. Another thing is to have tuned drum kits. For example, in the FL studio you can use a hi-hat sound, but it on a piano roll, and make a cool effect where if you make a quick chromatic sequence, it has a cool ascending hi-hat sound. I have one last request. Auto-tune. Now you don’t have to, but it would be a cool little feature to have on GarageBand. Like say I were to record me singing one note, say middle C. I would like for that note to change into other notes. Like if I recorded myself singing the note C, and the word “office”, and both syllables were on beat, each syllable could be different notes, or to make it more complicated, divide the syllables by twos, threes, fours, fives, sixes and so on and so fourth. Ok that got complicated. I just wanted to get the specifics about a possible new auto-tune feature. But so far the app is great I just request those three things. Have a great day!.The child indoorsVersion: 2.3.7

✓ Garage BandI’ve heard of this app before from teachers, friends, and family, and I decided that I would give it a shot! When I first downloaded the app, I wasn’t sure what it was going to be like, but now that I have it, I am highly impressed! This app is so cool in so many different ways! Let me tell you about this app! Garage Band has many different styles of music and different instruments. You can download different styles of music for free! This will give you access to more instruments, sounds, and more! My personal favorites were 8-bit Legends, Trak Girl, Soulection, Tom Misch, Oak Fedler, and Chinese Modern. When you choose one, you can play around with the sounds and instruments and pick which ones you would like to play in your song. When you hit the record button, you can click which sounds you want to play at that moment and the tune. You can get a little creative and play around with the tones, tempo and more! I am a dancer, and I liked having the opportunity to make some fun songs to dance to! All of your Garage Band Songs will be saved in files. Another good thing about this is that you can share your songs with other people through iMessage, email, Airdrop, Notability, Notes, Freeform, and more! This app is really cool and fun! You should give it a try and let your inner music maker shine! ☺️ Look for more reliable review at ⭐️five star reviews⭐️.⭐️fivestarreviews⭐️Version: 2.3.15

✓ Amazing.This is the only review I have ever written. (Usually can’t be bothered) But GarageBand deserves something special, yes a little but of a download, but well worth it. The best app ever. Hands down..Oily OliVersion: 2.3.10

✓ Love this app. Have been using it for years. The improvements keep coming as well.To give it 5 stars I would want to see more flexibility with the guitar. So more styles, more range on the neck, a whammy bar, and the ability to input, import and amend guitar tabs. Also it would be great if the fading could be modified per track at different times and the tempo could be varied throughout a song (live mixing macro). The ability to bounce completed tracks to a single track to free up more track space would be good as well. Also when are sleigh bells coming to the app - we need more Christmas number ones !.BucketlungVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Honestly greatI’ve made a dozen songs on Garageband (and a lot more unfinished little sound snippets) , and it’s honestly a great entry-level DAW. It comes with plenty of sound effects already, but Alchemy Synth changed the game for me. As my introduction into the art of turning knobs until something sounds good, GarageBand’s Alchemy Synth boiled it down to the basics——Hundreds of presets that give me a few options to tweak. The limits of what I could change about each preset helped me broaden my effects knowledge rapidly as someone who’d decided that it would be fun to try covering Megalovania in GB a few years ago. At this point, though, I’ve reached a ceiling of GarageBand; The lack of ability to cleanly automate things other than volume (and pan, with some work) has started to put walls on what I can make, so I’ve decided to move over to Cubasis 3. This isn’t to say that GarageBand is bad, though——It did for me more or less what I wanted it to. Seeing how it’s completely free, very easy to use, and packed with features, I’d say that GarageBand is an excellent choice for someone who wants to compose quickly and efficiently without needing to go into higher-level settings. However, for people looking to meddle with more odd things, it may not be the best choice..Legocopter2Version: 2.3.15

✓ Absolutely brilliantAmazing app for music production great to introduce people to the world of music making. However there are a few limitations on IOS that aren’t on the Mac for example you are only able to automate the output track and the effects and plugin abilities are also limited. Wether you enjoy creating with loops that are already loaded onto the app or playing the on screen keyboards it is absolutely brilliant! You are also able to download additional loop packs that include loops and presets. If you own an adapter midi controllers can also be used in this FANTASTIC app. I would pay good money for this however once you have mastered this software it is probably better to upgrade to its older brother “logic” that is also an amazing DAW but it does carry a hefty price tag..EXPLOSIVECARROT_musicVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Make the older version compatible for iOS 12This was my favourite app, but I can’t use it anymore since I don’t have iOS 13. Can you please make the older version compatible for iOS 12?.Jada! 😍Version: 2.3.8

✓ AMAZING!! 🙌Garage band is such an amazing app. I love the piano especially, there are so many keyboards to try out! I love creating my own music and I discovered that you can also alter the sounds of each keyboard and I’m absolutely sure there’s many more things to discover. Starting off there are so many keyboards but you can download even more! There are also many live loops and many, many other instruments and that’s just the start. If you want an extremely high quality free music app then download Garage Band..TwinklebudgieVersion: 2.3.12

✓ Love GarageBand App for iPadGarageBand is a really impressive app, love it, gave it all the stars, love using it. Apple Podcasts App for iPad used to be a perfect app too, but since the latest updates - they made the App very hard to manage - it’s now hard to see what you have downloaded and what you have not downloaded, and now all round more different to use the Apple Podcast App. Also I really hate the way the latest version of iTunes 12.7 for Mac, takes away your ability to manage your iPhone and iPad Apps on your Mac using iTunes - I had to go back to iTunes 12.6 for Mac, and that was a difficult task..SeaguytsvVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Essential for songwritersI have been writing songs for over 20 years through a simple 4-track and using a drum machine. When I first heard about GarageBand, I thought it was a music-related computer game. I even got an iPad which already has GB downloaded on it from the factory and never even opened it for a year. Finally, I was bored one day and thought I’d take a look at it. WOW! I couldn’t believe how robust and professional it was! Here I’m tinkering with a 4-track and drum machine from the 80s all this time while I had a pro-quality music studio to write and produce sleek sounding demos just waiting for me to discover it! I’ve recorded some 400+ songs in GB that sound so good, some people actually think I recorded with an actual band! The drum sounds are impeccable along with fantastic bass, piano and string instruments. They even added brass horns! I just wish they included a saxophone with the horn selection. My favorite feature is the edit feature for each virtual instrument, especially when it comes to the drums. I’m able to move snare hits, kick hits, hi hat patterns, etc. to make them sound much more natural, like a real drummer would play. GarageBand is easy to use. You’ll be recording masterpieces in no time!.KillersongzVersion: 2.3.3

✓ Just a short review.The only bad thing I can say about this app is that it takes soooo long to download. I feel this is due to the size of the app as there is such a wide range of features within the app itself. I love the variety of options accessible without having to pay a cent. I also love that there are more than just guitars and pianos and includes instruments from all over the world as well as being able to change the acoustics of each individual instrument as well. The best feature for me is the volume control and the bass and the fact you can mute and instrument and experiment with various sounds. The worst things about this app are; the file size is huge and takes a while to download, and the fact you can’t get me off it..G.C.C LTD.Version: 2.3.7

✓ Love It!The only thing this app needs more versatility. Apple needs to focus on any more acoustic instruments to their software, so their can be an immense amount of genres and sounds to really spice up your tunes. Every time they come out with a new update, it’s exciting, but nowadays the updates are a little more anti-climactic. I would love to see the orchestral side of instruments be developed more, as I am yearning for a harp. Also, the dynamics for the acoustic Instruments need more to them, so it adds realism and quality to whatever music you’re making. Such as the hard rock guitar; it doesn’t have the right sounds to make upbeat battle music and rock music. There are also many glitches involved in this app! But overall it is definitely a big start for someone who wants to step into the world of composing and songwriting..Benjemima.exeVersion: 2.3.6

✓ Almost PerfectAllow me to start by saying that I’ve been using GarageBand for 3+ years and it is beyond comparison. Out of hundreds of apps on the App Store, it is by far the most user friendly I have ever been able to use. As somebody who was teaching themselves how to write music, the interface is almost always very helpful and easy to understand, even if you aren’t very knowledgeable of music in the classical sense. Although not everything about it is completely obvious, it is absolutely worth it to spend time playing around with and discovering new tricks and settings, that aid or streamline the music writing process. That being said, if there is anything about GarageBand that I don’t like, it is the sustain pedal glitch. It’s the only thing I would consider to be a flaw that truly compromises the effectiveness of the app. When adding/deleting/edited the lengths of sustains on music (particularly piano, as that is what I work with most often), I’ve frequently ran into a myriad of recurring issues; sometimes a sustain will still play even after it’s been deleted, or after shortening a sustain pedal it will still play at its original length. All in all, however much I dislike the issues with the usage of the sustain pedal feature, any grievance I have with that is dwarfed by my admiration of this app and my appreciation of the undoubtably talented people who put energy into making music so easy..RhsjshwhdydVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Sk8er101I LOVE GarageBand, however it takes up so much storage that I find I can’t take photos or videos, or even go on other apps as I have to offload almost ALL my apps to download this. Please make it use less storage but other than that pretty great app..Viza667Version: 2.3.10

✓ Great app, a question for anyone who knows it well please!This app is brilliant, everything is well thought out and I use it a lot, great drum sequencer as well. I have a problem now though, having added a song as a loop then pasted onto a track to remix, I also put the tempo up to 172 so it was sped up, but later randomly all the parts of the remixed track slowed down to half speed rather than the original or faster as it should be, I thought it was a glitch and although very annoyed to loose my work started over only to have this happen again as soon as I added te virtual drums and bass! -Twice! I can’t get it to work but have no idea why it’s doing this help would be appreciated, Thanks :).GeorginageorginaVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Better than fl studio mobileI can't stop giving this app props because this is honestly the greatest music producing app so far... I'm actually in love with GarageBand the fact that there's so much to it actually makes me hype every time I get on the app. First timers will use the loops to create there songs that can tailor to there style. You can also add your own loops with the keyboard selection and synths. Millions of sounds that you can expand your arsenal with and it doesn't stop there. You can even download your own samples to expand your sound selection. Like I can record a note from my grand piano and turn it into its own song. This app will never die out as long as there is more and more sounds added to it. The only suggestion I'd add to GarageBand if I could. Would be to add more sound FX and chants. The essential to making genres of music is something that makes them memorable and the sounds that you can add will show it. I love this app and I hope it continues to grow because this potential already exceeds that of computer software. I can't wait for the community to grow more and more so that people won't have to spend 200 dollars on something when they can simply download a FREE app!!!.Jack TaltonVersion: 2.3.7

✓ Hard to useLiterally I just got this app thinking I could easily get music on my device and set them up as my personal ringtone. But instead I am stuck with boring ringtones that came with phone. Navigating the app itself was a chore. Couldn’t figure anything out for myself as it was hard to navigate. Took a google search on my laptop to figure out how to use it. Even youtubers weren’t of any help. Can you teach users to use it maybe when they first get the app please?.Shiro_KuranVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Great appI have had a few on and offs with this app but pleased to say the good way out balances the bad. The app is easy to use and using the Irig I have found that a few of the amps have an amazing tone. I use this app to record songs I write. My songs are mostly rock and blues but lately I have been experimenting with a nice smooth blues funk track and this app really needs a 5 string bass, please it would be so good to have the option of not only choosing the bass you want to use but then have the option of 4 or 5 strings..Nick205056Version: 2.3.8

✓ The only thing I would want to add to GarageBandIt’s lovely having GarageBand, lots of loops and instruments. Who could not love it? it’s a great pleasure to have GarageBand, because it has lots of apple loops, drummer loops and even software instrument loops. it could even be the key to music. nothing can go down, except for the fact that we can’t make our own Sound packs with new Apple loops, drummer loops or even software instrument loops. other than that GarageBand is awesome..MadMaxie75Version: 2.3.15

✓ May I just say...3 WORDS... AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME What’s wrong with it? NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING Thanks for reading... 100% RECOMMEND!!!.FifilikesgamesVersion: 2.3.7

✓ Needs thing desperatelyThis is a great app in all but atm the basic piano is this random one that that is set to default instead of the grand piano. If I play with more than two fingered it undos me changing the piano putting it back to the random piano. Also it does not handle temp changes, if I’m recording something faster it automatically goes and puts into this trash swing type thing it is so annoying and can be frustrating. Other than that garage band is great, please fix theese they are driving me and my mates nuts. Thanks.Beefy daveVersion: 2.3.8

✓ App malfunctionThe app just starting showing a notification of core audio file is not available? Started after the recent software update. Please repair. Have made multiple songs and recording’s. No sound anymore.SparknampsVersion: 2.3.10

✓ Best DAW on mobile devicesLove it but Apple needs to bring back Alchemy Synth on old older iOS versions..AzurejakeVersion: 2.3.11

✓ Why has it stopped working?I really love garageband I’ll recommend it for anybody at all, using this has really taught me a lot about how to mix my own vocals and helped me understand different techniques. How ever; it randomly stopped working one day so I had to remove the app and now I can’t redownload it????? Why?! If anyone can help me get the app back on my phone you’d literally be helping a person in need! I asked my friends if they still have garageband functioning well and they do! So please let me know what’s going on? Do I need a new phone or what??.MessimusicVersion: 2.3.8

✓ I would love to give this app 5 stars.For what it’s worth, I’m a new app user, and new to the workings of production in general. I find that from what I know, GarageBand runs pretty smoothly. I REALLY love some of the synths, and tbh, before I started using GarageBand, I didn’t really have much of a trajectory in life. I used GarageBand for a few months, and suddenly(and this was just for a moment), I realized that MAKING music out of pure love and appreciation for the art of it, the SOUND of it, was exactly what I wanted to do with my life, for the REST OF MY LIFE. I don’t know if I’m supposed to give the app all the credit or not but, I DO think they were the catalyst for something amazing to shift inside myself. Not to get off topic though, I DO love the app. I don’t however have access to uploading to SoundCloud for some reason , but maybe this is happening to everyone?? I hope someone sees this and can help but even if they can’t, I am VERY happy for the self discovery I was able to make with this app, and for some for some of the pieces I was able to create, even if I can’t yet upload it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS APP!!.Finesse P.Version: 2.3.11

✓ Please Add Scale Creation/CustomisationPlease add the ability to custom-create your own scales by selecting which if the 12 notes you want to include. Please also add the ability to tune each note to microtonal values between -150 cents and +150 cents, to the nearest cent. The small selection of scales currently available limits usability and potential for exploration, given the touchscreen interface and my fat fingers. And it's a real shame, because every other aspect of the app is perfect, and if this one thing were added, it would easily be my favourite DAW on any platform..BuddyferretVersion: 2.3.10

✓ Surprisingly greatGarageBand is one of those music softwares that gets backlash because it’s “not professional” or because it’s “on a phone”. However, a quick look at all the new effects and instruments Apple has added to the newest version of the iOS GarageBand will nullify those criticisms. I have used GarageBand on my iPad and phone for three years now, and I have produced very good sounding music with it. Its pre-made synths are easy to play with and manipulate to the producer’s liking. If you are not content with your technical skills or musical connaissance, then Apple offers hundreds of loops, from beautiful synth chord progressions to distorted rock drum kits, that you can chop up and use in your songs. It is hard to see any flaw with the newest GarageBand. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in dipping their toes into production. And if music-making isn’t your goal for your future career, the app is still loads of fun and a good way to unload creativity and boost your imagination. Strong 5/5 for this app!.Elliot.harper.90Version: 2.3.3

✓ Has one problemIt takes 3 hours to download and takes to much storage I would love to see improvements.Hello plz fixVersion: 2.3.8

✓ LOVE THISI’m a dance teacher and I had to search all across the web to find this app and now I can make the dance music I need!.St christVersion: 2.3.12

✓ Recording mixes with DJay ProNot sure when this feature was updated for recording. Now that DJay Pro is huge resource for DJ’s that love the app. It would be great if you can include Djay Pro in Garage band on iPad or iPhone as a selectable source for input like Djay 2 still is, surprisingly. So Dj’s can record mixes live, or create mixtapes with both of these apps instead of recording it to another out source like Ableton or other software. I feel this would be a seemless process for DJ’s that would like to upload their work to Sound cloud or Mixcloud, whith out leaving the iOS realm. Hence there are a lot that are moving towards the mobility of DJ’n using iOS without having to use a laptop..Age2kVersion: 2.3.14

✓ Great but one thing…I love using GarageBand to muck around and create fun songs. I’m blind, so I have to touch instruments and it’s quite fun actually. However when I use the drum kit they take up too much room on the screen and I can never really get out of them. I’ve had this problem recently and I can’t figure out how to fix it. If you could make it so that the screen has a bit of room to navigate to another instrument that would be so good. Thanks Apple..Blind supergirl 10Version: 2.3.8

✓ Ok?Ok… essentially he has a good job on his own but he is so proud of you so he can get you all his own stuff he has a good idea of how you are now with his dad is now in his life he has to do so he can get you all the time he is so good and he has a good relationship so he has his heart to heart and heart heart and he has a heart heart so I can see him again so much more and I like his words and I don’t have to be a pain and I can do that I don’t have a good feeling so I can do that and he is not going on this but I think I have a heart attack on him so he is not a pain but I think he’s good he has to be a pain and I think he’s good he has a heart to learn so I can do that I don’t have a pain and I can get it.🤗😶‍🌫️Version: 2.3.12

✓ Good, but..I don’t like this, the fact you must update your iPad to the latest 17.0.3 update. It takes way too long, although I did update my iPad like it told me to, but the issue is I just wanted to make a ringtone without it telling me all the time I need to update my iPad. This should not be an issue. The problem is, the updates of Apple take too long and you actually need a specific amount of Gigabytes (storage) to actually download the software update. It took two hours for me to update it. I’m impatient so I’m surprised I didn’t lose my patience halfway through the update, otherwise I would’ve cancelled it a LONG time ago. It’s a good app though, I’ll give you that. I’ll throw you a bone and try it out..SariyahpapayaVersion: 2.3.15

✓ My own voice won't recordI make really heavy trap metal songs and I scream a lot and I don't know if that has anything to do with my voice recordings coming out silent and straight lines and I don't see any sound waves at all and when I try to scream really really loud it can only be heard a little but when I'm finished recording my screaming it can't be heard at all and the line is straight and no sound waves at all.I support Donald trumpVersion: 2.2.2

✓ Would love to be able to save in .mid formatI use this on an iPhone 6, with a korg 25 microkey midi keyboard. I'd like to save the songs in a midi file to be used with other things. I know that logic pro is available, however I don't have $1000 to spend on a mac. :) But, even so, I do have an iPhone 6+++++++ (the + signs are the what I call the phone because of it's great performance). Keep up the great work..Miseryless smilerVersion: 2.3.3

✓ AmazingI love this finally an app that actually has good programming and has really good music styles and different ways to do you use it and record your own voice very good recording programming as well only problem I have was with this before was that I had to pay for it which is really annoying because it's been the best apps but it doesn't really have a fair price on a But now I love it because it's free for those who love to create music like me.Candy-swanVersion: 2.2.2

✓ SuggestionGreat app, however having the option to export songs as a MIDI file would be great. Especially for use in other notation software like Sibelius where I need to see the sheet music for say, a piano piece that was recorded in GarageBand..ThinstuffVersion: 2.3.8
