Singing Machine Karaoke for Negative User Reviews

OMG £13.49 pmWow does anybody actually pay this subscription of £13.49 per month!!!! Bought karaoke for daughters birthday on the idea could get songs through the app advertised on box but at that price it’s outrageous!.Version: 2.1.7

How do I cancel my subscriptionI need to stop my subscription and stop the direct debits from my account.Version: 3.1.3

Charges continuouslyThe app doesn’t have several of the songs we were looking for, so we used it just for the one week we had subscribed for to try it, then never used it again. Switched to using CDs and YouTube. But it continued to charge weekly for 3 weeks in a row before the receipt came through on email letting me know it charges continuously - stopped it then and will be sure to never subscribe again!.Version: 2.5.2

Difficult to share on kids deviceOk, so we got the singing machine for my daughter’s birthday, she was very excited! but then we had to get a subscription to have more songs to sing, ok, so as the parent I got the subscription on my device and now I cannot seem to get it to work/ log in on my daughter’s device because her device has a different Apple ID i guess? and although SM Karaoke shows up in the family sharing it does not share? The singing machine seems like a great little unit but I am not letting my daughter have my device every time she want to use it so we will likely be returning this to the store and of course, now we are out of pocket the cost of the yearly subscription too 😖 It is a great idea but it just doesn’t seem to work if you want to use it on another device than what was used to set it up originally..Version: 4.8.5

Rip offLots of short samples but if you want more it’s £9.99 per month!!.Version: 1.11.6

It’s goodI like it a lot i can get all the songs i like but have to pay to get full songs sometimes you can only get 30 second samples because you sometimes have to pay for them.Version: 4.1.2

Very hard to useThe app will not let me sign in. I have to try to sign in four or five times before it will let me in. The app freezes all the time. It is very frustrating trying to sing a song when it stops every two seconds..Version: 1.9.7

OkayCool but expensive. Plus all the songs are old.Version: 1.8.1

Disappointment after excitementWe were so excited to receive this machine but the limited song selection and 30 second previews with the free subscription killed our excitement quickly. $13 for a 2 week subscription or $19 per month is outrageous. It’s going back. And we have the long faces of disappointment..Version: 2.4.3

RIP OFFBought the singing machine for my daughters 4th birthday without realising the official app costs £13.49 PER MONTH!! What a complete rip off and let down - ruined her present as now we feel like we have to return it as wont get our monies worth.Version: 2.3.4

App won’t openWhenever I try and open the app it looks like it will open and then just goes back to my Home Screen. Very disappointing as I have subscribed and it works on other non Apple devices..Version: 4.8.5

Too much moneyMy 6 year old daughter loves singing so I got her this app but you have to pay £14 a month.Version: 3.4.5

Waste of moneyWe were so excited about this product . No where does it mention the extra 15 bucks a month or 9.99 a week for the songs . Also I couldn’t get the picture on my tv . Not sure if it’s only compatible with a smart tv which I don’t have , or if it’s something I’m doing . I paired the machine with my phone and a blue screen came up on my tv that said paired but when I downloaded AND bought the app , the lyrics only played on my phone and not the tv. Needless to say I had to hook my laptop up to my tv to display lyrics for my daughter to sing a long with . Don’t waste your money. Just buy a microphone and an amp ..Version: 3.3.3

:-/Waste of money, you have to sign up to the group before you can use the app..Version: 1.0.4

Total waste of moneyWe purchased the karaoke machine for our daughter, not knowing we have to pay $15 a month just to use it?! App description says you get five free songs a month. The box says you get a “bonus” five songs. So I downloaded the app thinking we could live with five songs a month, but nope. No five songs. Not even one song. All you get are useless 30 second clips of songs horribly sung by someone else. Looks like we will be retiring the karaoke machine because this is a scam..Version: 3.1.3

Beware of double subscriptionsSo apparently there are two ways of subscribing? And neither the app nor the singing machine recognizes the other. Yet the machine instructions encourage you to download the app? The singing machine is actually great but the app is not. I first tried to subscribe with the app assuming it would link automatically with the physical singing machine via blue tooth. But it didn’t and eventually the app would disappear suddenly everytime it was reopened The first is via the app of which charges your account via apple subscriptions. The second requests a credit card and charges through your singing machine website. As I couldn’t around this and the app kept crashing I have in and subscribed again assuming the app did not charge. But now that I understand the two do not actually connect to each other as one account I’m unable to delete the subscription on the app. As I purchased the actual singing machine from Costco I received a $10 discount $69/year) when subscribing from the machine directly on to the website but the app version on my cell phone cost me an additional $79. I will call tomorrow to request a refund on the app and strongly suggest that somebody should make it more clear in the instructions that the app is not needed to run the singing machine..Version: 4.8.5

Need to log in to useDeleting this app.Version: 3.3.2

Price is crazyWas much better when it was a reasonable price for a day.not 9.99 for 2days.Version: 2.2.4

RIP off£13.99.. enough said! How on earth you should pay this is beyond me? Signed up for a month just so my children can have some fun, cancelled my subscription and will know look at other ways of getting songs through to the karaoke machine!.Version: 2.4.3

Subscription fee is way too expensiveIf you are a DJ doing a few shows a week then maybe $18 per month makes sense. But for a family opening a Christmas gift who might use the karaoke machine a few times a year the fee is idiotic. I can’t believe some marketing genius was able to convince their boss that $18 a month was reasonable for a casual home user. Luckily there are free YouTube karaoke videos that work just fine with this machine. Otherwise I’d be asking the person who bought this if they got a gift receipt..Version: 2.4.3

Love the machine, just a couple concerns about appThe machine is cool. I like it, super cool!! 😁But the app is my concern. You only get a couple of free songs, I only got five basic Christmas songs like Silent Night and Deck The Halls. I wanted to just do a week of subscription to see if I liked it but the price for each week is pretty expensive, more than a dollar per day. I just wish there way a one time purchase available. Keep up the good work stingray group inc! 👍🎤.Version: 4.1.2

Only recommend to very rich peopleFirst of all, it said nothing about paying to listen to songs. Second of all, if you didn't want to pay you can use the THREE songs it gives you. Third of all, you can only connect it to a smart tv, which is very stupid. You should be able to connect to any tv that you own. There is only a few good things about this app like, they have really good songs for any ages but like I already say before, you have to buy them. Fourth of all, you can only do a 20 second preview of these songs 🙄😑. Anyways, I only recommend this app if you have a lot of money you want to spend on karaoke..Version: 4.6.3

Rip offI wish I’d read these reviews before buying the device for my daughter for Christmas. £13.49 per month subscription fee needed if you want to hear more than the very, very limited number of free songs. Don’t waste your money on this..Version: 4.1.2

Get you money back!Very few "free song" choices. The app Ask you to subscribe for 5$ for 2 days or 12$ a month... Like you need another hand in you pockets!!! We got this machine as a gift; it's a trap. I do not recommend this product at all..Version: 1.9.7

SongsDon't know If it works........ Just tried it and can't find any HEDLEY COME ON!!.Version: 1.1.0

WORST APP EVEROk me and my friend got so excited to get this app then when I got in I was scrolling through songs and saw that most of the songs were only thirty seconds samples then me and my friend realized that it was only for paid subscribers then me and my friend got so sad so the moral of this story is DONT GET THIS APP YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY TOO MUCH MONEY AND GET LET DOWN LIKE ME!!!.Version: 4.8.5

Seems one wayYou can buy song and play on you machine but cannot display c’è son on your phone.Version: 4.2.1

Really…😑So I downloaded this app and you may be saying “it can’t be that bad” ohhhhh it is. So I was in this app and you only have 5 song that you can sing the whole way through without having to pay 10 dollars weekly or 15 dollars monthly. You don’t get many songs and the other songs that you sing are like 20 seconds of them. I do not recommend this app unless you want to pay the price. I gave it at least two stars because they have good songs BUT I CANT EVEN LISEN TO THEM!!! Anyways hope you have a great day.Version: 4.6.3

Does not work!!It just doesn't work with iOS6. Extremely disappointing and frustrating. Don't waste your time..Version: 1.1.0

Doesn’t support family sharingOur physical machine broke so we decided to use this app. It’s great except that it doesn’t support family sharing. The notes say it does for subscriptions longer than 7 days, but in reality it doesn’t. So I bought an app intending to pass it off to my kids … and I can’t. Hugely frustrating to have to give them my device for the next 30 days. Bad enough I have to hear singing all day long 😂.Version: 4.8.5

Very Limited SongsLike how the service works and options. Do Not Like the Very Limited amount of Songs available - especially for Spanish - though songs are limited for Spanish and English..Version: 2.5.2

WasteThis app indicates you will receive 10,000 songs after you purchase a 2 day trial for $13.99. Did that and did not receive the songs. Ware of money..Version: 1.10.4

Welcome to the new world of subscription service, lacking serviceWhat a joke. You have to purchase another music subscription to sing? Let alone the fact that the subscription is just as disappointing as the singing machine you bought it for! What a racket, that can provide endless hrs of sadness to eager children while opening gifts on Christmas Day! The line is so blurred between service and machine that I have no real idea who I am more angry with. The machine was garbage and the subscription was a total rip off..Version: 4.1.2

Great but limited Christian country or rapThis is a great app I would give it a 5 if they had more Christian country and rap they only have 2 Toby MAC songs and half the songs on my Christian country playlist aren’t on there.Version: 4.9.4

RIP off. Do not buy.Purchased as a Christmas present only to find out we have to bleed money every month to use it. Amazon will be receiving it back tomorrow!.Version: 2.4.3

Very disappointedI bought the karaoke box for my daughter for Christmas and have just signed up for the app so she can sing songs through the box. The app is $20.99 a month - what a stitch up. Who can afford $240 a year for the kids to sing karaoke songs. That’s more than a Netflix subscription. I’m seriously disappointed..Version: 2.4.3

Doesn't play the songs you wantI tried to use this at a new years party. Took my money. Didn't do a thing.Version: 2.4.3

Lyrics don’t load!Paid for the subscription, downloaded 5 songs with lyrics loaded them onto a usb drive, and get about 1/2 of each song worth of lyrics! Have spoken with help desk multiple times with no resolution and they keep marking the problem as solved! Would have given a zero if able . Don’t give them your money!.Version: 4.8.3

Yeah not worth it, way to expensive.This is too expensive for what you are getting, it’s also literally a nightmare to get it to actually work with the machine you buy. At $12/month you can buy a ton of music, that’s a rip off. Not recommended unless you really a into daily karaoke. Deleted app.Version: 2.4.3

Songs are way off beatI wish they had a free week trial for the “full version” as I would of cancelled it. The songs are way off beat if you actually know the music. Super disappointing. Wasted $90. Wish I would of only wasted $9.99 trying it for the week. Machine looks nice. Works well with Apple Music on Bluetooth but no preview so far on the tv.Version: 4.9.4

Don buy this machineSi pudiera daba -10 estrellas. Esta app no tuvo ninguna canción que buscamos. No tiren su dinero. Usen youtube y conecten el micrófono a su pc o algún altoparlante. If I could I give it -10 stars. This app doesn’t have any song that we were looking for. So don’t trow your money. Use youtube and plug a mic to your pc or speaker..Version: 3.3.2

MehSongs seem hard to find and not updated enough.Version: 1.11.6

All should be freeAll the song should be free because not a lot of people have engh money to pay for it like me my parent work so hard to get me and my sister wait we need but not all the time they get a raise. But other then that I really like your music P.s can you up grade your songs because their a little old.Version: 3.3.2

SingsNot enough songs.Version: 2.4.2

Slightly DisappointedI have subscribed as I purchased my singing machine because happy to pay certain amount to enjoy it fully, but whilst there are many songs it was sad and disheartening to discover some of my favourite UK groups and their brilliant songs are not on there. I know it’s a US based company but no Take That,only one Madness song, no Proclaimers, no Westlife the list goes on, come if you are on the UK market as well we need some of the groups and songs we know and love to be streamed......Version: 2.3.4

PoorJust bought the singing machine for my daughter and found out that it would cost £14 a month to a poor library of songs 🤦‍♂️ YouTube for FREE it is 😂👍🏻.Version: 2.4.3

Scam artistsBought their karaoke machine for a party. You can’t even display the lyrics on screen unless you already have an apple tv or you buy their CDs. Downloaded the app. You can’t even play a full song unless you agree to pay them. Then your subscription auto-renews and they don’t give refunds. I requested a refund for the auto-renew payments because I’m tight on cash and I didn’t want to use their awful machine or app after the failed attempt to use it at a party. No refunds. What a sick way to prey on people who want to sing with friends. Also their app is badly designed with no regard to UX, and I would know. Their architecture is laughable, and their ridiculous notifications will pop up during mid day and suggest you sing karaoke. YEAH, SURE. Clueless money hungry people over at Singing Machine. Give me my refund..Version: 3.4.0

Too expensiveBought this singing machine for DD for Christmas. Got the App today and discovered they want $20.99/mth. Apart from smash song... Nothing free.. Complete rip off. Not impressed..Version: 2.4.3

Won’t work with iPhone 12The app won’t launch on iPhone 12.Version: 4.8.5

Subscription prices are a joke!!The machine is brilliant which why I bought it for my girls for Xmas. The only problem is that you have to pay £14 a month for songs which they don’t even won’t to sing. 😡 Probably be taking it back!.Version: 2.4.3

Limited selectionThe song selection is very limited especially since you have to pay $10 / week or $15 / month. iTunes store has way more Karaoke songs, so clearly they are out there. Would be good to have a way to play other other Karaoke songs. Would also be good to be able to purchase individual songs versus subscription..Version: 2.4.3

Too expensiveI was more than shocked to discover the fees tied to the app. Ten bucks a week or $15 a month falls on the greedy side of things in my opinion. Especially considering the many options people have to enjoy karaoke for less money. That said one alternative idea might be to charge a one-time fee for the app and that would give access to older songs that cost less and then charge another fee for access to the new hits etc. at the end of the day, spending this kind of money is not worth it..Version: 4.2.1

Rubbish App - Makes you pay for songsDon’t bother, unless you want to pay £9/month for access to decent songs..Version: 4.1.2

DisappointedNot got great selection of choice and I would have preferred the lyrics to be able to be viewed on TV when connected to the singing machine instead of on iPad/iPhone...if it is connected to a TV then why is it only CDs that plays the lyrics on TV?? Disappointing that it cost £13 per month also - I feel this is extremely expensive for what you get..Version: 2.4.3

Not that greatI got the karaoke machine and thought I should get the app. The instructions told me I could a membership and get “the full version of the song” but I didn’t want to. Then I opened the app and tried to play a song. It gave me a 30 second sample of the song. So it turned out that I had to get a membership to use the app.😒😡😢.Version: 4.6.3

Not goodI do not love the app because their is only 3-4 songs that are not just 30 second samples. And also it is hard to pair with my karaoke machine it takes hours out of my day trying to do it. When it pairs to Apple Music it is also bad because not all of the songs work..Version: 3.4.5

Waste of moneyDoesnt works.Version: 1.0.4
