✓ Straight garbageWorst app ever.BordenBandzVersion: 10.69.2

✓ Please fix this updateI am a Bandlab Fanatic, but ever since this new update… the “FX Autopitch” is a bit too much… The keys Between Major, Minor, and Chromatic is way off… it makes your vocals from firm to flat to flat to firm… when the version before any switch between keys would just shift your vocals into the correct tone. This new update has modified the sound of vocals and it’s not for the good. I’ve tweeted and sent picture of what the problem is and no one has contacted me. This new version really needs to be reverted back to the original sound… it’s almost to the point where Bandlab is only catering to its Rap audience and not the true ACTUAL singers… with all the “CLASSIC, BIG HARMONY, DUET, ROBOT, MODERN RAP” Options that are completely not useful it’s become a bit too much a steering away from the quality of this app. It really was an amazing app before this update… I have seen a remote amount of complaints about the new update and I do hope that they make the switch back to the original “Autopitch” because this is completely HORRIBLE. I do not like this update what so ever and I am scared that it might be like this forever..HttpjaygVersion: 10.33.0

✓ This is ok...I got this game because a few people from my school said that they created a band together and i wanted to join the band too, so I downloaded it. The only problem was was that I didn't realise that this was a social media app too! I started making music and playing my guitar, and I also set up a profile, but then was when I realised that the whole point of the game was to get as many friends, bands and followers as you can, and I did. The few select problems are that it is really hard to get 5.23K followers like millions of other people on the game have, and at the moment i only have 5 followers, and only three of them are real people. The good thing about the game is that they show on peoples post what device they are using, and i know if people are real or not (most people that I knew on the app where robots but still). The bad thing is that you can actually message people on a private message (so say I would be able to message one of my friends from school if I'm following them and they are following me). I would not recommend this app to people who are worried about social media or cyber-bullying. Sorry xx 😫.Happyunicorngameplayer123Version: 9.16.1

✓ App is good - if you can sign inI use Cakewalk by Bandlab and think it is great. This app however refuses to let me sign in via my iPhone constantly telling me my ID or password is wrong (they aren’t as I can sign in on my pc no problems). I have updated the app several times in the last few days, closed the app, restarted the phone all with the same result - no login. I’m now getting ‘attempts exceeded’ messages as soon as I start the app so it’ll be getting uninstalled / life is too short!.GBToneVersion: 9.32.2

✓ Update required screenHey! I’m an artist with quite old technology and without enough funding to purchase any new items, I’ve been using an ancient iPad Mini 2 to make music. However, I recently re-downloaded BandLab to re-record an old song named “BEAM!” when a pop-up began to show exclaiming that I had to update BandLab. The current requirement for BandLab is iOS 14, so I use an old version, however I may not update it as I use iOS 12. Is there anyway you or I could resolve this issue, if it even is an issue. If it isn’t possible to fix, do you have any suggestions actually compatible for my device in particular? Thanks!.Poppy playtime is terribleVersion: 10.62.0

✓ PLEASE FIXI just updated the app when back onto bandlab and the my lyrics/note ate gone in all my projects!!! is there any way yous back put them back???.Dre123cVersion: 9.31.3

✓ GlitchesRecently when using bandlab I have found it has been VERY laggy, from just clicking almost every button and it taking about 5 seconds to register, the vocal boxes on the left flashing, bandlab crashing, glitches when trying to save a vocal preset and more please try and fix this it’s becoming very annoying, thanks.Gytfgh guvugbuh ugvbu ub guVersion: 10.53.1

✓ Would be amazing but...I've tried to upload a couple of songs several times. Gets to 98% sits there for ages then the upload disappears and no sign of the song in my account. I was super impressed with the mastering algorithm used and had the same experience when trying via a browser on my phone. Maybe there's an outage ATM. Very happy to change my review if so. Seems like it's full of potential!.Simian dreamsVersion: 9.8.1

✓ TerribleI am a student and I don’t have a laptop or computer so my only option was to download it on my iPad. I had already signed up for an account on the website but couldn’t compose on it because I had to download google chrome so I tried to sign in on the app. I signed into the app about 4 times before I changed my password. Then I logged in again with the password I JUST changed and it didn’t work. I then spent 2-3 hours trying to log in. I f I could rate it zero then I would. I recommend you to get something else like cubase or GarageBand or Sibelius. It was terrible..SUM-RANDUM-GUYVersion: 9.15.0

✓ I love the the set up and the platform but to many security issues…I really like bandlab but there are groups of bots and real people on there that will steal and manipulate your intellectual properties (music)… even people posing as or actual bandlab staff will recycle or straight up steal your music… They have no appreciation for the art… and they will gang up and not let you grow… they will blanket your work… it’s frustrating to say the least… someone has access to every personal account I’ve had and I’ve had complete songs go missing… I work very hard on my music and want to make a living doing it… bandlab offers a unique experience with the user friendly set up and touch screen simplicity… the ability to share and collaborate with anyone across the world is a great feature… I’ve been on band lab for 4 years and I have grown accustomed to being able to catch ideas while mobile but the security risk and the rampant thieving is to much for me as a future professional… I can’t recommend at the moment but would gladly reconsider if some changes are made….NipplehickiehippynickelVersion: 10.28.4

✓ Pros and consUpdate: At this point it rarely works longer than an hour. I delete and download this multiple times a day to make one song :( it happens at any point. Right when I open the app. Or when I’m about to finish. Or when I’m in the middle of recording. It will just force close or suddenly sign me out and say I can’t sign back in. (Error or this link doesn’t exist) That’s when I have to delete it. Also, When I open an existing file. It will randomly say my microphone doesn’t work or I have to choose that option. But It was fine a second ago when I recorded. I’ll push record and it’s an old recording I deleted etc. these are the problems I have. But I still use it with all these frustrations because there’s nothing else out there like this.. So there is no other app out there like this. It’s amazing. I will continue to use it even though there are a few glitches and errors that occur. Sometimes for no reason. It will force close. Then I spend a few minutes deleting the app and downloading again. That seems to be the only suggestion from the support group. It does work but a little inconvenient. Sometimes songs just disappear. I’ve had a few occasions of them showing up again. But I’ve also lost a few. I just save them to my computer now. For me, the pros outweigh the cons. Only because I’ve never found a app this simple where you can record your music and singing. Also, the community is awesome :).NashlerVersion: 9.18.0

✓ Great but not impressedThis is great because I can make music for people but on my account Benji the G.O.A.T. I am suspended for some reason. I am really not impressed as in what did I do wrong?! I made me very sad and plz help my account 🙏🙏🙏.HfttfhkiVersion: 10.69.1

✓ Ads are so infuriating!!I loved this app, and totally understand why people need to have ads to make money but there’s an ad literally every five seconds. You can pause a song and the next time you click play the loudest possible ad plays. Like regular non video ads were annoying but now they’re loud annoying videos. It completely disrupts your work flow. Honestly considering purchasing Ableton or even switching to Logic :(.CranberriesthebandVersion: 10.63.1

✓ A little complicatedKinda complicated and difficult to get used to, but other than that it’s a good app!.Icyblue52Version: 10.69.3

✓ Very good for beginners but very laggyA common problem I have with this app is the recent projects. Mine don’t show up in order when I select sort by: date modified. This leaves a jumbled mess when I’m trying to find my projects. Also, when on a project the revisions constantly lag making me have to guess which one I had just revised. Really not happy with that as it takes a long time when I have many revisions..JajmeVersion: 10.51.2

✓ It’s awfulIf I use headphones, the vocals are slower and if without headphones or ear piece then there is so much noise, it’s like you need a whole book to understand the app, I don’t understand the marketing plan behind making the app so difficult to understand. I already having a bad day, I don’t need this frustrating me when this is meant to be an app to express your creativity. Extremely irritating, annoying and feels pointless. What’s the point if its unnecessarily difficult to use? And the long videos of people trying to explain the app only to waste time talking. Not everything in this life people must suffer for 🙄. Don’t download this app for your own sanity.Whave22Version: 10.66.1

✓ Ads ruined it :)Bandlab has been one of my favourite apps for a long time but their recent updates have made it pretty much impossible to do anything ! I'm totally ok with ads in apps, the developers deserve to make money and be able to keep the app free but putting adds in the studio disrupts EVERYTHING. You can't write, you can't record, you can't mix or edit. They removed everything you could do with this app by giving you an ad every 4 seconds :) Don't put ads in the studio, ruined everything..JonasgarfieldVersion: 10.63.0

✓ Not exactly my cup of tea but the reason I’m here doesn’t exactly work.I mainly downloaded this for the audio stretcher option since the time limit was far bigger. Only problem is that it’s not even compatible with audio files that work just fine in AudioStretch! Hopefully that gets sorted out and I’ll give it a much needed second chance..Crimson CallVersion: 10.69.0

✓ Can be a bit frustratingOverall, this app is great, but with voice recordings, it won’t record voices or musical instruments, however when you make any kind of sound which is not musical, (eg, dropping or tapping something in the some room as the device) it will pick up the sound easily. I recommend you keep this just for making music when you don’t have the instrument. As on every other app, a voice and instrument is recorded, so it is just this app. Sorry if this seems harsh, but it is frustrating when you try to record something and it doesn’t work..DoctorirevewappsVersion: 9.44.0

✓ IssuesI love the app great and easy to use but everytime I create a new project and complete it it won’t let me go back into it the next day....OE-MajesticVersion: 9.14.0

✓ So much promise, terrible user experienceThis app has so many basic flaws that make it horrible to use. I keep hoping it will get better but unfortunately the main issues are ignored. Doesn’t matter how good the music production side of it is if you can’t easily find what you’re looking for or see messages easily. The messaging is so terrible! Put it all in one place. Such a simple concept. Use some smarts to determine the type of stuff I want to see. Have better ways to connect people. That’s the basic premise but it just fails miserably..ScoobulousVersion: 10.0.3

✓ DisappointedI was really excited when I first got this app. It was easy to use, compatible for downloading, and offered a variety of loops. However, yesterday, after having it only two weeks all of my saved tracks deleted on me. I kept all of my tracks private since I was still figuring out the “lab” portion so I didn’t share the majority of my music except for on track out of probably 10 so far. Luckily the ones I liked I did back up but it was just unsettling to have everything disappear like that from every folder on the app (including the library and my saved folders). Everything was gone. I did some research digging online and found that deleting and re-downloading the app can sometimes bring them back and sure enough it did now. But it’s just a strange clutch to still be happening after people have reported it and there have been updates. If the app becomes more secure then it’s on its way to being a huge tool for music makers!.D,nicknameVersion: 7.19.0

✓ I love bandlab but sometimes it’s retardedOK bandlab pisses me off sometimes when I upload a song and I select the genre and picture for it sometimes it just won’t upload under the genre I selected Or with the right picture and it really frustrates me because I can’t seem to get my music where I want it to be without band lab changing the genre for no apparent reason and then when you go to delete it to re-upload it sometimes it will not delete it and the song will become glitched and unremovable and it really aggravates me having three versions of the exact same song on my profile and it triggers my OCD seeing a massive amount of unremovable songs on my profile like CAN I JUST HAVE A CLEAN PROFILE WITH 1 OF EVERY SONG NOT 3 COPYS!!!!!!! And also for some apparent reason not even bandlab support knows how to fix it I’ve tried to explain but every time the advice was useless UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!. *sigh*... so basically in conclusion if you want your music to get herd I would highly recommend a bandlab it’s really a great app but sometimes it just is so slow clunky and glitchy and The suppose it “support” they offer doesn’t really help for some of the things that is wrong with the app.EndmeplsVersion: 7.1.1

✓ Give what you make away for freeRequires two factor security to even open the thing. Not much use if you live in a. Building where such things don't work so well. Then in T&C’s I find the following: App has potential, but includes social media - From Terms and Conditions: ‘Licence granted to other Users: You grant to other Users, and to operators and users of Linked Services, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable and transferable licence to access, use, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, adapt, synchronise, prepare derivative works of compile, make available and otherwise communicate to the public, Your Content.’ Deleted..TheWightGuyVersion: 10.6.2

✓ SuggestionsYou’re team should add fl studio/fl studio mobile elements.Landon MayappoVersion: 10.69.3

✓ Do yourself a great positive service!Too many times in the App Store a new sight will ask to be reviewed immediately…people become slightly annoyed when the actual app asked for a consensus without giving the new user an opportunity to see if they are able to even finish the initial protocols involved with acclimating how to use it directly after opening it for the first time! It’s incredible. As an example can you imagine asking a brand new patron of a restaurant? How did you Enjoy your meal ? Making this inquiry almost immediately after they arrive? The honest answer would be Nothing and how many Stars is Nothing? nevertheless, as far as BandLab is concerned; from my years of using other Musical with other music production applications and Algorithms /your interface and set up offers a great deal of user friendly learning curves and a vast array of fresh ideas ! that have a lot l of potential that said I am quite excited to find out more…so please feel to come back after Ive tasted the appetizer and had the soup 👍🏽Many Thanks and Good Work!.BumpermanVersion: 10.66.1

✓ For me its laggyWhen i open bandlab it takes really long to load in and sometimes crashes, when i tap something it just loads very slow. Should i delete it and download it or what should i do?.Usman .SVersion: 9.35.0

✓ New update is brokenAfter update I lost every lyric I’ve ever written and now I can’t save any lyrics what so ever.E MishVersion: 9.32.0

✓ Informative suggestionsI really love that this program is free and works on my phone. However, I have a few suggestions on fixing problems. The first problem is there are a limited amount of tracks (I think 10 or 12). This should be increased to 20. Second, you have to mix down a midi track (VSTi) into an audio track to fade the ends. Third, I should be able to change the pitch of each individual note like I can with its velocity. Fourth, there needs to be a way to import plugins, or make available a side chain compressor, multiple stutter and timing effects, and a minimoog type plugin to control multiple characteristics of a sound. Fifth, it is impossible to paste more than a group 5 tracks. Sixth, the red looping ruler is extremely complicated to adjust in the single track key grid. Seventh, the grid octave range is limited and will not play notes beyond or below it. I really like the AI generated song starter! I think it would be even more helpful if you could utilize it during production to suggest fill-ins and alternate music logic for sections after the chorus. Overall this is a wonderful program!! Thanks a lot!.Caedmon’s reviewVersion: 10.51.1

✓ Issues I have with this Great AppI use bandlab/cakewalk have for years alone with other DAWS however i had never played with the auto mastering feature as i msstsr manually. But since i had recently given it a t try, heres what I think about its mastering feature. 1. I think the options only being 4 is very limiting to the musicians trying to toss a good mix through. 2. Its high end is wayyyyy to peaky regardless of which of the four options you use. Doesnt cclean up bass well either so Its either hit the fire button and ruin your track with outrageous bass or limit it out almost completely and have highs and mids too high to stand. 3. I dont like that it increases volume soooo much with the mastering options causing clipping if you clean your mix with one of your four mastering options and then try to run it through the mastering interface again. I feel like volume is the responsibility of the mixing engineer not the mastering software. I feel like someone should be able to run a good mix through mastering as many times as they need to find the cleanest sound they are looking for in a track without having volume issues at all. ….. Also im not sure why but even if I delete all of my projects off of the app it continues to collect something that causes it to retain several gigabytes of phone storage until I uninstall and reinstall the app and that gets really annoying..ThaTruth#8====D~Version: 10.18.2

✓ Login is annoyingI got the app, and it won’t even let me past login without issues. I tried to sign up for an account, and when I entered my google details, it didn’t work. I then tried with MY gmail and it said the account already existed. (I have never used nor heard of this app before.) I went the the log in area, typed my email, and it asked me for a password. I NEVER CREATED A PASSWORD!.Help im addicted to spotifyVersion: 10.47.0

✓ Needs improvementBand lab lags like no other while I’m trying to record and edit. There’s a quarter of a second of delay from when I hit a string on my guitar to when I hear it in my headphones and that can really mess you up when you’re trying to be precise. You can’t adjust the click track to be one consistent click too. There’s always an accent note and I don’t need one. I just need to know I’m keeping with the beat. I keep experiencing issues with my headphones too, but I have not yet diagnosed if that’s band lab or my brand new headphones being defective. I have ALL of my volume knobs (in the software, on my computer, and my interface) all turned all the way up and every now and then the sound I get back is barely audible despite being recorded at a reasonable volume in the first place. Hell, the bar is jumping up past yellow in some parts when I hit my bass a little too hard while recording. It’s a free useful site but it’s not without its issues. I recommend it for working on your own personal projects (like I’m doing right now) but don’t sink something special into this product. You’ll want something of a better quality at that point..69420feggetVersion: 9.30.2

✓ Latest reviewPlease please please fix this. This has become my pride and Joy I’ve used this platform for years through my depression and anxiety. I really have enjoyed every single use. It’s 2022 now and the bugs are becoming severely annoying. I can’t produce anymore tracks due to an apparent malfunction Error. Please fix this a soon as possible. Thank.
