So you guys probably like songs that you can easily like sing to like Kate Bush be running up that road alphabet boy this is the one thing about it. They’ll keep some songs normal but some songs they like to mix up so then you can’t even sing it cause then it sounds like it’s not even real because there’s like words that they add that makes it not even go together to even sound like the song so don’t get this game. It’s not the best.

ADS ADS ADS
What in the world has happened???? I’ve been using this for a while, but recently it has started to completely be run over with ads. I’ve always loved it until now, but an ad between every single draft and song look up is ridiculous and too much time wasted. Otherwise I would rate it a 5

Terrible
I was so frustrated because during a live stream my friend made to sing I was supporting them with gifts until a user named Lisa popped in said she was going to report us because his voice sounded high pitched like a minor. When we constantly told her we aren’t minors and the song required us to be a bit high pitched. Then after a day we got reported and put onto minor only which angered us so much because now we can’t see our own songs, message each other or even change our signatures. This has been quite the most horrible experience we have ever had. I recommend not to download this app unless you want some random people reporting you for having your voice high pitched. I’m sure there are better apps then whatever this is. I just wish I could rate this a 0 because of much it angered both of us. Thank you for your time, I do hope this review does not get deleted in case of bad reputation as it did once with a different app I reviewed.

★★★★ JAYWARDS 6/6/2024 v8.83.2
Do not get.
This is the first time I've ever written a review. And I hate to have my very first review on the App Store be a negative one but I need to address something to this app.
It is overly flirtatious. It has their system bots sending notifications asking you to call them, chat with them when you don't even know who they are. I only got this app cause I thought it would be different from the og starmaker, but aside from a different title, and opening profile, IT'S THE SAME. SAME SONGS AND STUFF.
I would stick to the original or another one of their spinoffs. This is the worst StarMaker spin off I ever download and clicked on. I mean, minus the overly flirtatious and sexual notifications and we're good. In conclusion and to make things clear for new people getting this app : The flirtatious notifications are not real people. They are bots. Till then, I'm staying very very far away from this app.
★★★★ Vmaruv 4/23/2024 v8.80.3

The latest update of the app is causing lot of issues with party room singing. The user interface is very confusing and the lyrics of the songs don’t scroll up on time and the colors are horrible. How can someone read red kyrics in a dark pink background? Your UI designer needs to review basic ADA design rules. Please revert to the earlier interface. The new one is messing the song for singers. The END button should be visible. Not hidden somewhere under three layers. If someone wants to end a song in an emergency, they should be able to do ot quickly. Overall - very bad updates
★★★★ mistyspaces 2/13/2024 v8.76.2
Ugh
Stop forcing users to do stuff on the app and just leave their content on the profile page they have alone. This used to be an excellent app for singing until the developers ran everything into the ground by becoming controlling and making users have to spend money in order to keep people following you and vice versa . For example if you arent VIP then you can only follow 1000 people and unless you pay for VIP then you are limited to how many you can add as a follower. Now when i try to go to my content or covers on my profile page they have moved everything that i had recorded somewhere else and this has video and recording from back before my mom died and now i cant find them
★★★★ jonathlar 12/28/2023 v8.73.7
After last update 4 days ago
Network issues, random closing of app, overheating android and iPhone flagships, typing is lagging, and takes forever. Once your on for a hour it kicks you out of app, and you have to go back in. If you don’t spend money then you lose so called friends. People who judge co tests gift thereselfs.
★★★★ just send the reveiw 12/26/2023 v8.73.7
So disappointed.! Update after another..
I just did the update back to back, now all sudden it won’t let me in my own room! But yet I can do literally anything else in the app’ I can live and go to any room anything at all but my room! It sets in a purple screen loading” and says load error! Fix this rite away! I have goals to meet and people waiting my room is now stuck in ludo cause it won’t let me in!!! Omg it’s seriously one mess up after another, and if one more child tells me to kill” myself I will b Perusing further assistance sense I’ve reported over 100 times and all u seem to care about is making g a harmless singing app, a dating site… it’s not rite there r kinds small children use this app so there for it legally can’t b added to the dating sites! Hints all the lawsuits they have rite now… anyway fix the app I’m tired of the the bugs and crap.

Officials involved hacking our individual id when we recharge
When ever I recharge and play games officials from sm are hacking my id so that I loose all my coins and recharge again they don’t have a right to hack my id . Especially these usa officials not fair action need to be taken on this . And the same id I cannot open on another phone as they blocked my id from getting open on other phone so that they can keep an eye on my other id take action against usa offic or you will loose customers like us . I gave you one star because if official behavior. If I ask them they say is default in the system

SCAM! Says it's free but charges 7$ a week
Scam app. Friend suggested this. I downloaded it. Then was charged 6.99 a week without my consent or even knowing my credit card was being charged. Wrote to them. Told me it was unsolicited mail and told me to complain to apple. Apple claims they can't see a subscription but acknowledge charges even without invoices being issued. AVOID IF YOU DON"T WANT TO UNKNOWINGLY HEMORRHAGE MONEY

Starmaker steals customers’ money
Hi supporter,
I complain the starmaker stealing customers’ money. I had more than 6167 yellow coins in my account, I have not had any activity for awhile but today I logged in the account and found out there was only 90 yellow coins in my account. That’s so terrible. You really need to investigate because not only me but my cousins loss their coins as well.

Glitch during singing problem
This app is good but can be better if you fix the issues , During singing app gets glitch and that’s why recording get skipped from few lines ,im using this app in iphone and still this problem is happening and when we pause the recording and unpause it then recording start from upper line that i already sang because of this the already sunged part get erased , the song didn’t go automatically in drafts if suddenly app gets closed by mistake but smule app have this feature when i record something there then app automatically draft my last track and ask me to continue editing last track but in starmaker there not that feature .last day i sang a song and my i was editing song and writing caption for song but i just locked my device for few minutes but I didn’t closed the app but when I opened the lock the app was on but my recording was gone and that is the biggest problem in this app 👎🏻
★★★★ Leah_Leora 7/12/2022 v8.37.3
Would give it 0 stars if I could!
On 1/2/2021 I downloaded the app and created an account. I recorded countless songs, sometimes taking hours to get a song just right. Last month I try to log in as always on my iPhone and to my complete horror discover that I’m logged out (I never logged out before) and can’t sign back in! I tried the email I signed up with, my phone #, other email, but all I get is a message that this email is not associated with an account EVEN THOUGH literally I have an email from 1/2/21 from StarMaker Lite confirming that I created an account!!
There’s no way to email someone who can possibly help because they tell you to log into the app in order to send an email. How ridiculous! My playlist is gone! My hard work is gone! How could this app treat its users this way?!?!!!

Really make it make sense
OK, so first of all I’m 10 and it says that you need to be like 12 and up to use the app but the thing is it says that you can’t be like a teenager to use it you have to be like 30 to be able to use it and I will tell you right now 30-year-old don’t use it and I have to keep using my school email because I don’t have any other email and like if it says 12 and up you should let 12 and up use it like bro make it make sense

Unauthorized Charges
They took my money that I didn’t authorize.
I lost $26.98 and I tried to contact the company but was unsuccessful.
★★★★★ Annalee727 2/1/2025 v9.0.5
Not worth it.
At first when you join the app it works but if you lose ur info and log out than when you make another account you can’t use it anymore when you want to join rooms for some reason
And on top of that, none of the tracks or anything is loading it would be much appreciated if the multiple risk account went away. Other than that, the app is alright when you first get it. Thanks for reading.
★★★★★ Kayla13😁 1/13/2025 v8.99.2
Not the best
I got the app hoping to sing and go live , but no when I was going live users were reporting me for age restrictions,now I can’t go live and post my music, I’m older than 12 and the app said 12+ so if they could not let users report people for age that would be great.
★★★★★ Taxes <3 8/15/2024 v8.89.0
I’m sure it would be good, but no.
It won’t let me allow microphone access, I’ve uninstalled it more than once and it won’t let me allow microphone access. And without being able to enable the microphone, I cannot use the app.
★★★★★ Maximuus80 5/5/2023 v8.56.1
Some good, some not
1. Sound quality not good. To me, bad.
2. Most users are not real users. They are AI bots.
3. Hard to use
4. Not Intuitive UI
1. Good for voice chat
2. Many features to enjoy
3. Good for newbies

How do I make this work with my karaoke machine??
We recently purchased a Tonor karaoke machine. The StarMaker lite app does not connect to it, like all the other apps do. We even tried buying the paid version.
I can do it on my iPhone, but not on the machine. Please help?!!
