Medly for Negative User Reviews
✓ ...The worst part about this app is actually just the snarky sounding developer responses to everyone's reviews. far worse customer service than the app..Version: 6.1.5
✓ 🙅♂️🙅♂️🙅♂️ NOT A CHANCE I WILL RENT THISThis app seems like it is cool, and well made, BUT I will NEVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER be ok with a subscription model for anything that exists in the realm of virtual commodities. I rent tangible items, begrudgingly, but renting software and features of software is absolutely ridiculous, and I think it is absolutely criminal to hide your app’s entire desired feature set behind a NEVER ENDING paywall. I’ll take my business elsewhere. Thanks anyway! P.S. For a look at a better app with a better model, check out Loopy Pro. Buy once, keep the year’s worth of updates and bug fixes. If you don’t want to pay for the following year, you keep what you have already paid for. Pay for another year and get another year of the fixes and features to KEEP. It’s very much more fair to the consumer and without the developer(s) feeling like they are losing their shirt, just like nearly any commercially available ( or PC based) DAW (Reason, Bitwig Studio, Ableton Live, etc.) and it is the furthest I am willing to dive into the idea of renting a virtual commodity. Everyone else can pound sand..Version: 6.3.3
✓ BruhI started messing about a bit after doing the tutorial y’know placing notes trying to make a good song when suddenly the entire layout changes and I’m stuck with no way to get back to making music.Version: 6.2
✓ Sound focused, not development focused.I use Medley more than anything else. It’s easy to build melodies and bass lines without hassle, pretty accurately, and it’s easy to get these files onto my phone to send them away so I can use them in a bigger song. That’s what Medley is: A small app where you can create little music samples to send off to your bigger projects on your laptop or so on (or that’s how I see it). However, that’s not what Medley could be. There is so much potential here.. more ways to mix audio, built in vocaloid plugins (better than the current ‘Vox’ or whatever it’s called). Packs of instruments that can go together, better tutorials for beginners, so on. Trust me, this is a great app, but I think it’s too focused on simplicity.. which I know that sounds like a good thing, but simplicity really affects professionalism, especially in this circumstance. If Medley was able to integrate more types of mixing, more realistic instrument sounds rather than just a bunch of random synth and electric sounds that can kinds sound the same and nothing fits, and other little things that make it more professional, the community as well as Medley would benefit from that. Also, prices are fine. And there’s little bugs and freezes here and there and sometimes recordings of songs come out quiet but overall, so good..Version: 5.8.8
✓ It would be good, if it weren’t for subscriptions.I love the instruments that you give us and they’re very useful, but all that is thrown in the trash with the godforsaken paywall. Even GarageBand has similar instruments to you and they don’t have a paywall. Get rid of the subscriptions, just make it so you can pay at least $13 dollars to get the packs without a subscription. Please, listen to this..Version: 6.8.1
✓ Great except for constant crashesThe app is awesome but constantly crashes on my iPad mini 2. The extra packs seem quite over priced as well. But still an awesome tool..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Dont wants the app din’t know need to pay for all the contentPlease give me back my money.Version: 6.8.1
✓ App itself is good but it’s sort of robbed meSo I really got into this app and after a while I wanted to by all the add ons for it, so I bought both of them for 20 pound it took the money out of my account and it’s been saying payment pending for months, all the add on are installed and I’m using them fine but now it’s messed up my billing information saying a payment is pending so now I can’t upadate the app and I can’t download anything at all and it’s really winding me up..Version: 4.2.7
✓ Great sounds and easy to use but…I’ve been using this app for a while and made three songs that were easy to make and export, except for one problem. The app doesn’t have any metronome or rhythm check and the sections seem to cut off before heading into ones. The music doesn’t quite flow like it should. For a 40 buck sub? The app should be able to have a rhythm detection and a metronome. Disappointing that it has such cool virtual instruments, yet the subscription is overpriced and the melody is always off rhythm. I would resub if it were cheaper and had something to help check rhythm. Hopefully we can get this to work, the beats just don’t sound the same on other apps..Version: 6.6
✓ It’s good for beginners and casuals! Get Auxy Studio too.This app is just not a great app for me. It’s not my main DAW but I use it every once in a while for fun. The method of viewing scenes is restricting: You can’t easily have the same loops in multiple scenes, because the copy-paste can become tiresome. Medly features 10 or so instruments for free, and honestly, the selection is decent but the sample quality is a little lacking for professional use. If you are serious about music making, try Auxy in addition to Medly. It has customizable high pass and low pass settings, reverb, flexible delay settings, customizable drum kits, equalizer, and attack/release controls. These features would greatly improve Medly. Thats why I’m only rating this app 3 stars, because it’s not really for me. For now, Auxy is my choice for professional mobile music making. While Medly is not something I use often, it’s worth a try if you’re a casual user..Version: 5.3.6
✓ Superb AppI love this app! I’m a piano composer, but I travel quite a bit, and I can’t lug my piano around everywhere. That’s why I use this app. I can log down different notation patterns I like the sound of on the app, and then try them out on my piano when I get home. I love how real the piano sounds are! I had a bit of trouble understanding the app design and how to log in notes at first, but they give handy step-by-steps for how to use many parts of the app, which is spectacular. I still very much prefer physical instruments to this, but I think that’s because I’ve never been an ace with technology—😂. The friend of mine who recommended this app to me uses it to make beats, which just goes to show it is easy to be used for many different people. I could only possibly think of one thing to complain about—which is just that it would be cool if you could lower the cost of a membership. I did try it for a month and loved that I could mess around with violin and saxophone sounds, but I really just would like if it could be a tad cheaper for a yearly subscription. I won’t be ungrateful, though, this is much more of a steal than most apps offer for premium—and just flat out better, too. Thanks for the great app! You guys rock! 😊👍.Version: 5.8
✓ Add more packs for purchaseThis app was great until they added the subscription feature. I feel like there could be many great music possibilities if they made each pack available for purchase or if they made packs specifically for purchasing outside of the base packs that were available before they added the subscription feature..Version: 5.3.6
✓ Incredible and simple enough, but a major issue.The actual music making, really good, easy to learn, and the tutorials are really good, BUT, my issue is there appears to be a bug which pushes the buttons to create a new song, to go back, and to go to the settings inside my clock, and into my battery icons, so I have to close the app every time I want to go back, but if this is resolved, easy 5 stars.Version: 6.6
✓ Another Subscription SwindlePretty sure I paid outright for this app, now it seems to have changed to a subscription model, with features I already paid for no longer accessible. No thanks..Version: 5.7.4
✓ Too many paywallsIf im going to buy a music app, i want the extra stuff to feel, well, extra. Honestly, i just want to make decent music without having to pay monthly to access more than a couple instruments. Can you guys who made the game please reply, and then address this problem?.Version: 6.6
✓ Can’t share app across devicesCan you please enable sharing across devices? I have an old iPhone and don’t want to risk losing all my hard work.Version: 6.3
✓ Great app!Sometimes I can spam random places on a track and it makes catchy tunes. I’d like it if there were more instruments for free, because a lot of the tracks sound a little the same with the basic stuff. But it’s a great app nonetheless! Edit: I understand. I couldn’t imagine spending months on fixing bugs! Although I probably won’t become a member, I hope you keep on making quality updates!.Version: 5.2.5
✓ MehA good app, not hard to use and you can produce some good music. After the most recent update though I have tried to listen to a song I made and it kept kicking me out of the app and deleting my progress. There is no tutorial so you have to figure it all out yourself witch I found difficult..Version: 5.2.5
✓ DangHonestly would use this app but the developers think they can make money, this is an iOS game, if you want fans, make everything free THEN go from there, I wanted to use something that would be good to use on the go, but I can’t even make any music with the little starter pack the provide, I’ll stick to FL studio thanks for nothing....Version: 5.2.5
✓ Expensive and underwhelmingPaid 40$ canadian for a year and safe to say it’s not worth it at all you’d have more financially stable options banging pans together to try and make a beat without using this terrible app. i wish i could rate it 0 stars and get my money back..Version: 6.8.1
✓ Newest updatesThe newest update made it harder to control the interface. Every time I tried sliding to the right to add patterns for the 2/4 of the loop it just took me to the next 1/4 loop without letting me go back to the one I was working on. I needed to manually exit that loop just to go back to the previous one. And although I could press the top to switch sections of the same loop segment it’s much comfortable being able to slide within it. Until the newest update made it a little frustrating. Sometimes when I think I was able to slide it I just ended up grabbing one of the patterns I placed and moving it on accident. so now I have to make sure not to grab them when I want to slide. so if I use to many patterns on the 1/4 it’ll be me trying to grab between them just to slide slightly onto the 2/4 of it. In all honestly I preferred the old interface than the new one..Version: 6.0.5
✓ Very Very good appNow I have been seeing the reviews like “More free packs!” all the time but Medly’s membership is is almost the best out of all of the other apps. First of all you can get access to all of the music packs in the entire app (which is A LOT!) for a good price. Also this is probably the best music production app in the App Store. Like it has all the fundamentals to turn someone into a music producer. And one guy I know is using it for the music in their indie game. All I’m saying is that just buy the membership. Every penny is worth it..Version: 6.4
✓ Pay pay pay z🙁Love the app but why do we gotta pay ?? Its just annoying.Version: 6.8.5
✓ Handbook confusingThe handbook doesn't explain how to export a single piece of element to pc Or am I missing something?.Version: 5.2.1
✓ Generic soundsTrash not only because of how generic everything sounds but you replied to someone’s review with at least 3 paragraphs and all 3 had BandLab in them somewhere so here’s the truth obviously for an IPhone GarageBand is a must cos it’s better than this app and while we’re talking about better let’s bring up BandLab and the fact that app is better than this one too and if you think your app is better than Soundtrap I hate that app but it’s still better than your app ‘nuff said.Version: 6.5.1
✓ Watch out for the subscription wallLooks good, but really??? Only one stinking pack and the rest are under a subscription wall? NOPE. See ya later; I’m getting something else..Version: 5.8.9
✓ New Medly sounds grating and annoying, please fix.Everything sounds different with the new update and not in a good way. It sounds so grating and sharp and it’s really annoying. I attempted to fix it by messing with the HiLo option but wasn’t happy with the results. The drums have this effect where everything else gets quiet when one plays. This is something I notice in a lot of modern edm and I kind of hate it!! I herd a a setting called ducker being mentioned but I can still here this effect clearly when ducker is turned all the way down on all the instruments. The bass is also different it sounds deeper which is ok but it’s also kind of muffled, this is a problem because I like to use a bass sound called overdrive as a lead by turning the pitch all the way up and now it sounds kind of muffled. I regret not saving my songs before this update because now they sound weird. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate all the new stuff in Medly but I want my songs to sound like they did before and for new songs I make to not sound too harsh..Version: 4.0.2
✓ A fun app, however...I did enjoy making music on Medly in my spare times with all the great sounds it provides, even if it was to use the starter pack. I love how you organise them in bright colours to know which sound type is which. On the down side is that there is no way to create an account for this app. So say if you’ve broken your tablet and/or cannot get it repaired for whatever reason means you won’t be able to get you music back... the music that you’ve been working on for days or even weeks. The time when I was going to share it but didn’t have the chance to. It bothers me that I don’t have my old musics but to make new ones now..Version: 5.7.3
✓ Great app but…I don’t like the subscription only feature. Maybe you could give us an option to buy packs we want instead. I don’t get a lot of time to spend on this app so paying for a subscription seems hardly worth it given that it will take me some time to work out all the mechanics of it..Version: 6.3
✓ Suitable for the curiousA well designed app for an introduction to what professional music software looks like. Some fun sounds, easy to use, great value; very good for a free app. A couple downsides though: Not a large amount of musical freedom; time signature is stuck to 4/4 and minimum note placement interval is 1/32..Version: 4.2.6
✓ It’s okI love the technique on how to make music and I love all the sounds but without buying things you have very limited music to make with only very few instruments. I think the game should be free with no in app purchases. It’s ok for some instruments to be locked but not every single one..Version: 6.4.2
✓ More crashes with every updateBeen a loyal paying member for years now and the app is amazing but the crashes are unbearable. Every time theres a new update I get more and more crashes when Im not even doing anything particularly complex, or something that would be taxing on the app. These crashes used to be less frequent and would at least save my work, but now I just lose it entirely every time the app dies. Really upset because Im losing my hard work..Version: 6.5
✓ Crashes way too much!I would like to give this app 5 stars but I can’t. I get Auxy is similar and as much as I wish that app would allow vocals in there, you can’t add any. It is why I tried to find a similar app to Auxy and when I stumbled across this app, I thought great. Another app similar to Auxy but better since this app allows you to add vocals, right? Wrong. This app is worse. Despite being able to add vocals every time I try and work on a song and I get into a minute into the song the app begins to crash. Every time I try and re-open my project it just crashes. I really hope this app can get a major stability fix. Keep in mind I am using this app on an iPhone 11 so my phone should be able to support and run this app without a problem. Hope the developers read this and instead of working on more instrument packs work on getting this app fixed first. Then maybe I’ll re consider my review and download this app again..Version: 6.0
✓ Sort of coolAfter you get into it it’s just making normal song. Please make it more exciting..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Ruined By SubscriptionUsed to be a good app that you could pay a smaller amount when you wanted by paying for a pack. Now the devs have gone down the greedy and obtrusive road of forced payments every month which includes packs you don’t even want. There are other apps that still allow you to either make a one off payment or pay per item....use them instead and let subscription based apps suffer the consequences..Version: 5.2
✓ I don’t careI know how to make music, and I don’t need to copy and paste! So just tell us how to put a note and stretch.😊🤬🤬🤬🤬😤😤😤😇.Version: 6.4.2
✓ Amazing app and UI……SubscriptionLimited amount of starter pack sounds, can’t import sounds either without subscription. Make 1 time payment option, would gladly purchase..Version: 6.3.2
✓ Copy of Auxy☹️.Version: 4.0.3
✓ Add more instrumentsAdd more free instruments please, and don’t reply by saying you are offering the best free pack in the app store because that is completely wrong, bandlab is completely free, it has over 100 free instruments and alot more free loops and effects than medley.Version: 5.8.8
✓ Uhh...It’s great but... WHY THE HELL DOES NONE OF THE INSTRUMENTS PLAY ANYMORE REALLY? I brought everything except for the stuff in the subscription packets but like NOTHING WORKS..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Greedy Developers.. avoid avoid avoid!!!!The free version of this app is disgustingly limited. The devs have no interest in making more instruments or sounds available in the free version, as they’ve stated a number of times. The devs are so far removed from reality that they think the free version is actually useful. Laughable. You can download a number of free DAWs for your computer that all outperform this app in every way possible… so I don’t know how Medly rationalizes their pricing. What a joke !!! If you want to download an app that shoves subscriptions in your face every minute, this app is for you! As a free user, most of the buttons you click or sounds you pick will simply take you to their subscription landing page, where they will try to rip you off :) Clearly you guys are greedy and not actually interested in making a useful app. Your app is not nearly worth the subscription price, and your free version is an actual joke. The app will inevitably fail, as there are plenty just like it that are far cheaper. But I’m sure you don’t care about that, as you’re clearly profit driven. Maybe make the app useful for free users, and then you wouldn’t have to shove subscription offers down everyone’s throat in order to make money :) your reputation dwindles day by day, and rightfully so!.Version: 6.3.2
✓ Sound not goodFor me... the longer the song the sound get worse and worse ....Version: 4.0.1
✓ Very mehhhhhThe included sounds are like a 70,s video game…. when you move a chord you should be able to hear it you cant export you can’t clear a song….. really?.Version: 6.4.2
