★★★★★ "Good app just not that much to offer new users in terms of actually recording songs. The default, auto tune doesn’t sound good it’s not clear crisp the options are limited even in terms of adding additional local layers would probably recommend band lab as a better alternative it’s just a little bit more tricky to use" - Damien Carello

Over the subliminal criminals
To whom ever it may concern there is quite a few of your “top” artist who are bulling other artists off the app by putting making alternate accounts and putting the other artists songs on a playlist with a wack azz name I think you should have a separate forum or section on the app where is that are being bullied can stand up for our self with out getting flagged for bulling maybe just a battle section where if someone is disrespectful you can step accordingly . Thanks for your time I hope this doesn’t fall on deaf ears
Sincerely me
paying customer I’m getting real sick of this review

Community sucks
Used to love this app but , they don’t reward talent , they only reward fake bots , also , you’ll get hacked and they don’t help you
Been using this since it was free
I’ve watched this app progress since it was free. One day I woke up and all the free features “that never worked well 👀” are not free anymore. They didn’t even create anything new to sale🤡 They just took away the features that they were “developing” on. This app is nothing fancy but you can record full songs on it.
You stole my song
You stole my song. I had a subscription for nearly a year doing multiple songs and this one you stole it! I’ve been a subscriber for nearly a year! July 29th makes it a year and I can’t access nothing not even the song I was currently working on!
Error
Will not let me sign in the app error to the app make it were I can sign in
Disappointed
I got this to record some southern gospel soul gospel, and was hoping to use some of the beats that were pre-recorded was willing to pay for them. All of them were rap, and even the gospel ones were more rap or Jamaican. There was nothing that fit my genre. I have things since I was eight years old and I play music most of the time. I’m pretty well in tune, but decided to use the auto tuner feature and it was terrible
Single users with multiple accounts
I'm concerned about the possibility for the Voloco team creating multiple accounts to listen each other's profiles on a loop and therefore manipulate the number of streams. This is becoming quite obvious, since single users even collaborate with themselves through their multiple accounts. The vocals between profiles are edited, but in most cases I can still tell is the same person. So the same profiles are featured and could significantly change the performance of using the boost option. Don't get me started on the recent flood of AI generated tracks and beats. I thought Voloco was a recording app, but I guess I could make a bunch of accounts, use SUNO for each impersonation, and boost myself to #1.
Miss the old ui bit things change
I really loved it before when I paid for the vocal effects, but the app has been revamped and a lot of people really like it. I am glad it is getting the attention it deserves
I was really only into it for the vocal effects because I think that they are some of the best on iOS.
I mean their are some really good vocoder apps for iOS and this one is definitely on my list of them
I can’t say that I want them to only go back to doing vocals but if they made just an small vocal app or split this app into two types of subscriptions (one for vocal effects and one for full productions) that would be amazing..
It just kind of stinks because I paid when the app first came out for vocal effects. Now, those vocal effects are gone unless I subscribe. I think the app is fabulous, but I wish they would have grandfathered in the vocal effects that were paid for like they did when they turned this into a sub subscription model. I understand it’s some hip-hop style production app, but it’s lacking in the true ability for making beats and controlling them with MIDI - so it’s just basically a toy now. If they went back and made a Voloco audio effect app that would be wonderful. Because this was one of the best quick vocoder apps out there when it was first released. I don’t need all the extras and I paid and it’s a shame that they just can’t restore the vocal effects for the people who paid for them and let all the extra production stuff be subscription so people can enjoy that as well. I don’t need to share my music through this platform. I’m not really interested in anything except for vocals. Hence the name, Voloco because it used to just be for vocals. This is why I’m giving it one star because of not grandfathering people into the effects that they paid for when this app was getting off the ground.

Great another subscription…
I used to really like this app and I had it for years and happily payed the yearly for you to have all the features when it was at an affordable rate. No it’s too expensive and doesn’t let you do anything without needing to resort to the subscription to get all the features. Had to uninstall
Terrible app with terrible customer service, exploitive. Avoid at all costs
I’m pretty sure I deleted the subscription as soon as I signed up for a free trial, but it ended up charging my card anyway. I asked for a refund it and was told they do not offer refunds despite me using the app for a total of 20 mins. I understand the terms of a free trial, but I also understand what good faith means for good companies, I would not recommend spending your money with this company or trying to free trial unless you accidentally wanna be out of $50 that will not be refunded under any circumstances.
The Voice alterer also sounds awful. I would just do something on desktop.

SCAM! App Has Major Bugs And Audio Effects Will Not Work - Demand A Refund
Hey so when I was first using this app, the effects for the audio I needed worked great but since I bought the premium version, the effects no longer work. For example: I need a reverb effect for this one project and the effect isn’t working.
This app is a scam, I want my money back for the yearly subscription. Can’t believe I just spent $50 to use an app that takes away its core functions once paid for.
Refund me.
