I'm not sure what the app is used besides listening to your music. The only feature I like about soundtrap's app is that you can exit the app, and it would still play the song. It takes longer to start the app up rather than going to your mobile web browser and signing in and entering the studio in the browser. It really does take that much time to load.
I was planning on getting back into making music, but this app killed all my motivation. I used to use it all the time on desktop, but my PC died a few months ago. So I'm just stuck with my phone/tablet. The app extremely difficult to use and there's no piano roll which is something very crucial to music production. (Phone version has piano roll but it's buggy and not worth it.) On tablet, the app is fine, there's just no piano roll so I can't even do what I need to, like many others.
I've used the desktop version for a while and I love it, but they made a bad app honestly. if you can get it to work then you should have no problems, but most of us can't even get it to work in the first place. I've reinstalled this multiple times and always run into the problems of - No sound - Unable to record sound - Consistant crashes for no apparent reason - And simply not able to open or click things I did just a second ago. I love the program, but they really need an overhaul on the app.
I use the regular browser and mobile app and I have got to say this is one of the best music making apps I have ever used. Everything is incredibly user friendly, and the exports work great! I have had incredible success with this app, and I would reccomend it to anyone who is trying out music making for the first time. I deducted one star for the mobile version, which is hard to navigate, but besides that works great. Please make songs easier to export off mobile!
The app is great, only issue is that I can't use it. Whenever I try to reopen an existing project, it will load to about 88% and then crash every single time. Same with when I try to share with a friend. The studio is great on computer, but on mobile it literally does not work. Really dissapointing that I can't use such a good production studio.
Have to be honest and say I only downloaded this out of impulse because I am constantly singing, humming melodies and I've been wanting to attempt to make a song or a cover. And this app is perfect for beginners because it provides tutorials on how to get started. It has plenty of loops of any genre you could think of, instruments you can play and record your sounds. And you can incorporate your voice in as well! Great quality little studio to take on the go!
OKAY..So, I used the website for school..Seemed normal, fun and cool. BUT, when I got home and I wanted to try it out..It was weird. One, the piano (or any musical instrument on the app) made no sound at all, three buttons pressed? Only one made sound. I tried to fix it, nothing worked. Even when the sound did show up, I played it and, again, there was only one that was making sound. Very annoying.
Gets the job done, albeit horribly. Odds are your device won't have the memory capacity to run it, and there are weird bugs like the snare sounding like a bass drum. Aside from that, the UI is sooooooooo cramped and tiny that the slightest mis-tap will send your phone into an aneurysm. I can't recommend the web version on desktop enough. Edit--Still a buggy mess, nothing has changed and they haven't made an effort to better the app. Again, the desktop version gets more updates and attention.
This newest version of the app is backwards in terms of UI and usability. It opens directly to a project, which sucks if you are trying to just listen to your songs through your phone/Bluetooth. The old app did not start in a project, it took you to your profile where you could view all your tracks/songs. No way to skip ahead or go back when you start playing a song. You could easily do this in the old app. The songs are not sorted by folder like the desktop app. Much more but 500/500words
if you're looking for an android version to a certain free music making app but sadly it's made by a fruit-based corp only for overpriced products of the same brand, Soundtrap. The interface can be wonky. Pros: you can still make music, duh. That's it. Cons: can't create a note on the piano roll. Can't export as MP3 files. You have to pay for 3/4 the instruments. You're pretty limited with the choices. In other words, as a former 4:3 tablet user, I think that other app is better than that.
