Locked out
I’m not quite sure why I see locks on the account. I never received an email message, to let me know what the issue was.
The worst karaoke app ever!😡🤮
When I first got the game, It was fun, but then I got mad because most of the songs I picked, they were locked 🔒.
The songs…
So I always listen to KATSEYE so that’s what I looked up and why does it not even SOUND like them it sounds so weird specially ‘debut’ and ‘my way’ like omg as an EYEKON im disappointed
Like where do you guys get your sound from!!?

Hard to navigate
I’m having a hard time trying to get this app to work. I can’t get to where I can change the vocals and just the basics.
Bad
This app was horrible for me. It wasn’t easy to navigate. Somehow, when I chose singing battle. My singing partner would be singing, but get assigned MY username. How is that even possible with two different devices. It felt like this app just wanted to farm money and information rather than provide the fun karaoke experience it advertises. Shame. What a horrible experience.
Print is to small
I can’t read the print. The print is to small.
nasty ai album covers
EW AI
Does not play audio through AirPlay on tv.
I have read every Reddit post and used AI instructions to get audio to work and it will not play through tv speakers. I get other audio through AirPlay, just not this app.
Payment requirements
There are no free songs. Don’t download this app unless you want to pay monthly, do do karaoke, alone, on your phone. It won’t sync to most television-types, so also buy more stuff for the stuff that pay them for. Pass.
It was a great product
I’ve been a member of KaraFun for several years now. It has been a great product all the way up till now somehow in their latest update the music volume is considerably lower than it used to be. This makes KaraFun unusable in my mind without the use of some kind of audio mixer. I will be looking for another karaoke app.
Stay away
Absolutely terrible app - you can do better by doing it on your own. Every song is a preview doesn’t ally you to enjoy it on your own
Font on lyrics are to small
How can I increase the screen size with the fonts on the lyrics taking the whole screen like normal karaoke screens?
Suggest a song…hopefully not for my health!
Downloaded the app, because several songs that I like do not exist on the platform that boasts over 60,000 songs. Suggested the songs multiple times over a few weeks. Nothing. Signed up for a paid account and again suggested the songs. Still no sign of them. I hope those who are left behind to maintain this platform are not asleep at the wheel. Wake up!
Songs are not original artist versions at all
Just an example - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee, indeed shows as the actual song by Brenda Lee but sounds terrible and when you turn up the Lead Vocals...it is definitely not Brenda Lee 😔 Another example...Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer by Gene Autry.
Sends spam notifications
They were doing fine for a long time, and it was just a solid app that did its job and got out of your way. In the past month or they've started spamming marketing notifications and don't provide any mechanism in the app to turn them off other than to disable all notifications for the app in your phone Settings. They used to provide helpful notifications when a song you requested became available, but now it's too much so they have lost their notification privileges.
I will not be keeping this app.
I want to modify the instrumental version of my song playlist.
WHY DO WE NEED A SUBSCRIPTION!?!
It is just songs and lyrics and they charge us for it? This is crazy do NOT get this app unless you want to pay 9.99 a month to sing an actual good song.
Where is my playlist?
I created a playlist with 10 songs and then went to go find my playlist and it’s not anywhere. So frustrated. I just upgraded to premium so I could start using this more and this is my welcoming. Maybe I need to just close the app and reopen it but if that’s the case, it would’ve been nice For the app to tell me that. There was no help about how to find a playlist only how to create a playlist which is as simple as can be, but then I can’t access the playlist I created, which is maddening.
Horrible
Not working
Password
And I do expect a full refund because if I do not receive my refund, I will report you to the FBI for fraud………… I am very disappointed in your website because I have been using this for two years…… so locking me out of my business disturbs me to no end……. I am refrain from using some choice words if you get my drift….. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Sound
The volume is too low.
I have to pay for it what?
I don't like this game at all because I have to pay for it, and I just wanted for free, I just want to single automatically, and I wasted my mom's time just by asking her to download this game, what a waste of time, if you really want to buy this game, don't it's the worst. If you want to spend like 59 dollars or 9 dollars extra on this game, I suggest you don't buy it. It's not worth anyone's time, not even yours.

Big monthly bill small library
I’m disappointed. I pay top dollar every month for my license and a very small selection of songs seems to me you should get more out of such a big payment every month. every seven out of 10 songs is unavailable if I have to build my library it shouldn’t be a monthly payment. One and done feels like you’re getting gypped.
Queqe
Hard to get to current queqe list. Should be in Library.
System Crash
I’ve had nothing but problems
I was given a free month for compensation
But yet I lost my pro status

Disappointed
I am pretty disappointed because I got this app wanting to hear my voice cover for some of my favorite songs and it says I need a subscription to do the whole song. But if I wanted to do that song, I had to do a preview which is annoying. My favorite song, Austin I had to do that for.. I would recommend this app for people who are allowed to do subscriptions that kind of stuff. for me I’m not supposed to so I would not recommend it for people who are not supposed to the subscriptions or can’t do subscriptions. If the app maker is seeing this right now, I want you to know, I think it’s a good idea that you take out subscriptions and you just let people sing with no subscription thank you. In summary, this app would be amazing for people who are allowed to do subscriptions but the people who are not then this is not for you. I hope this review helps.
Wonky App
The user interface is confusing and not intuitive. E.g., “Queue” doesn’t let you add songs to your queue or show your songs in queue, but general controls.
