Moises: The Musician's App Ratings and Reviews

Really enjoying Moises

I play electric bass guitar and I’ve found Moises very helpful for learning songs by isolating the bass track so I can make out each individual note. I also use the function that allows me to slow down the song to play along with, until I can play it at tempo. I download into the Moises app the purchased songs (from Apple Music) that I’m working on - it’s always been a smooth process and never had a problem yet over the six months I’ve been using the app. I often use it in conjunction with my Fender Micro Mustang headphone amp, which has Bluetooth and can connect with the phone or computer. I also have begun using the loop function to work on specific parts of songs, which I often do on the desktop version of the app (easier to navigate with a bigger screen). Finally, I’ve started using the app to help me organize into playlists the recordings I’ve made (using the voice memo app and uploading into Moises) during my bass lessons (recordings of my teacher for etudes I’m working on) or recordings of original music I’ve made with my band, so that I can play along with the recordings. I really like Moises, it’s a great practice tool for me and works well.

Excellent all for learning and practice

First ever review of an app. Super impressed with it. Pros: The most valuable thing for more about this app is the ability to separate parts to hear more clearly. It has several flexible options to superstate the tracks you want to hear or just create whatever custom mix I want to download which is dope. The app can discover the key and BPM with more than fair consistency. Plus you can change the key of the song along with tempo adjustments. With the added ability to cycle/loop a section that you may need to practice is definitely useful. I have to say it does a wonderful job separating drums, vocals and bass guitar.
Cons: I’ve found that sometimes the key signature/center is not always correct especially with modal jazz. I get that can even be hard for a human being so it’s not a deal breaker. The track separation can be better because it may mistake certain lower pitches for a bass guitar or it may clump horns and aux keys and sometimes guitar parts as a nondescript “other” track. It tends to mix up chords sometimes giving a false root although the note it gives maybe be part of the chord it may confuse things at times. Because of all this its only earned a 4 stars rating from me. However, Id easily rate this app 5 stars if some of these nit-picky things were addressed.

changing basic features to paid with no warning? No thanks!

For nearly a year now I’ve been using this app for free, but today I went to use it and to my surprise and distain the incredibly basic and expected feature of being able to upload prerecorded tracks had been made paid when it had previously been free

I cannot stress how distasteful this is for a company to do, Moises has ruined my idea of its brand and while I had been considering purchasing their premium before, now I wouldn’t do it in a million years, why? Because this is money grubbing, dishonest and irritating behavior that I just can’t stand for, I’m perfectly fine with new features being added for premium but uploading files? That is the basic crux of the app. It barely does anything else, to pay for something so simple in a free app is absurd, if perhaps Moises asked for a one time payment I would be fine with this, but in a world so oversaturated with subscriptions I cannot help but feel nothing but HATE for a company that demands I suddenly pay one when I had used it for free just fine before

I do not like this update, and I don’t think others will either, if the creators of this app believe they will make more money this way they are wrong, you are chasing away your customers with obviously scummy practices and will inevitably kill your audience if this continues. You are no longer an app for musicians, you have become a scam

Better than then anything else I could find so far

This app has been great. I’m a beginner so I’m mostly just flailing on my drums to songs I know and it’s perfect so far. Only reason for not having 5 stars is it crashes unbelievably often and there’s just simple quality-of-life improvements that would make this so much better. I have almost 20,000 songs to sort through and it would make a tremendous difference if I could sort through my library bands, it would also minimize load times. Another huge addition would be the ability to que songs from the list and stay on the same page instead of being forced to go to the App Library every time you download a song. For the crashing situation, I’m on an iPhone 12 Pro Max, nothing else running in the background, full power cycle and ran with and without wi-fi.

Edit-changed my review to a 5-star. For the first time in my life this app changed in the exact manner that I was hoping for! Cheers to the developers for listening to consumers!

Hi. Thanks for the feedback!

Great Features, But a Huge Barrier for Aspiring Musicians

This app is truly impressive in terms of functionality and user experience. The interface is intuitive, the tools are powerful, and it offers a seamless experience for anyone looking to create, edit, or explore music production. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced musician, the features available can significantly enhance your creative process.

However, the biggest downside—and it’s a major one—is the cost. While I understand that quality software comes at a price, the subscription model or upfront cost puts this app out of reach for many aspiring musicians. Music is already an expensive passion, and it’s disappointing that those just starting out might not have access to such a great tool simply because of financial constraints.

If the developers could introduce more affordable options, student discounts, or even a free tier with limited features, it would make a world of difference for those who want to pursue music without breaking the bank. Until then, as much as I love the app, I can’t fully recommend it to beginners who are on a budget.

Awful, Frustrating App

This app is a huge fail. I have a large Apple Music/iTunes library and of the thousands of songs, only three show up as available to transfer to Moises. I've given this app over 24 hours to sync up, and even though my iOS version and this app's latest version are up-to-date, it still doesn't work. The ironic thing is that I have to wait another 24 hours until the payment is processed before I can even request a refund. I wish iTunes would eliminate junk like this from the store so that people don't have to waste their time. Lastly, I went to the homepage of the developer's website and that was requiring me to sign in with one of my email identities to even put in a troubleshooting ticket. If a company cannot make a stable app, why would I trust it with my login credentials?
Update, the developer contacted me. To be clear, I am only trying to use Moises with songs I have purchased from iTunes. I am not trying to use Moises with Apple Music streaming or the subscription service. Moises is still not recognizing songs I have purchased. I appreciate that they reached out and genuinely want to try to solve these kinds of problems. But again I am spending a lot of time trying to make something work so this is not a fit.

Hello! Thank you for contacting us. The iTunes App can be a little tricky sometimes, and depending on how iTunes stores the files, it may take some more time to gather it all. Please make sure you have purchased the songs from iTunes and are not using Apple Music. Moises cannot process songs from streaming services. For a more in-depth look into this, I encourage you to get in touch with our support team at https://help.moises.ai - they will assist in troubleshooting the syncing and make sure you're taken care of regarding the payment and refund process. Your satisfaction and data security are our top priorities.

Haven’t Experienced Anything Like It!

I’ve been using this app before famous YouTubing drummers did reviews on it. I have not experienced anything as incredible as this app. It’s my daily go-to music app for removing different instruments out of the mix. Although the vocal/instrumental may not be perfect for some songs, it really gets the job done and that’s 5 stars in my book. Very easy to use, although I had some issues regarding signing into the app because I had a songs processed with a free account and songs processed with an upgraded account, but I believe there has been an update because I haven’t experienced any issues regarding this problem lately. Another thing with this app is that you have to have data or WiFi connection. The app offers a metronome, count-in, tempo changing, pitch changing, and a really cool feature that includes chord detection of the part of the song that you’re on. I had to upgrade my account because the app was just that good. I hope that you enjoy the app as much as I do!

Amazing and good quality

I think that Moises is a really good app and it has no fees and even if you have to pay I’m telling you guys it is worth it please download this app. It is amazing I love putting songs there to take away the sound so I can think of myself and feel like I am that celebrity. Please guys get this app me and my friend love using it I just convinced her to buy it she doesn’t care how much it cost she will buy it so if you’re seeing this review, don’t even look at the other reviews and buy this. Don’t be an idiot and waste your time looking at the other ones if they’re good or not just look at this one and say you know what mom, dad brother sister I’m gonna get this app because this comment from this girl named hadassah and Sapir said that this is a wonderful app so if you trying be a celebrity and you love beat, but you don’t want to do you make songs with your own beat you can use their beach. I am telling you please buy this. This is an amazing amazing No joke. I’m not lying about that.!!

What can’t it use songs downloaded to my iPhone? It just a money maker for apple

This app won’t seemly work with songs not purchased directly from Apple and NOT other vendors mp3 downloaded to your iPhone from iTunes. Have a large collection that u want to use with this app download it to your iPhone? but it appears you can’t use them? It tries to route me to songs I have to pay upwards of $1.29 directly from Apple. a little kid might pay for this, but a grown-up is not gonna pay twice for songs They already have just to use this app. Apple always tries to act like they are the only MP3 vendor. There are many places to buy music online and Apple is only one of them, and it really irritates me that Apple created environment where people act as if you have to use Apple’s iTunes to buy an MP3. There are many others like bandcamp, which has better material than Apple. The developer of this app makes mega bucks for having it sort of pay to play system with Apple. Please make this work with music on your phone that You already have downloaded to your iPhone instead of just your upsells of apple stuff. It will make you seem a lot better in terms of your character

This app is amazing!!!

Sometimes, when looking at a painting, you can isolate the individual elements. You can see each subject, the background, each individual brushstroke. But you could never really do that with music— it’s just one wave of frequencies that hit your ears. Until now. Moises harnesses the power of AI to separate the individual instruments, each part of music, into their own separate tracks. It’s truly amazing technology, that I highly recommend it to anyone who likes music. Indeed, it’s helping me learn more about how music works than any music theory class I’ve taken so far. My only issue is you have to get a subscription to fully use the service (I am so tired of passing on really cool apps because I have to pay a monthly subscription) but this time I made an exception. If they offered a lifetime cost for it that was reasonably priced, I would jump for that so fast, though I do understand they’re running a cloud service and do have maintenance costs.
