Simply Sing: My Singing App Ratings and Reviews

I downloaded this app because I find singing as a hobby and I saw it in an ad recently. It looked cool enough so I decided to try it out. It placed me as an alto, which I didn’t know because I’m not a song genius really. But I sang a couple of songs and really liked it! It adjusts the song to your range so that you can sing it easily. Which I find convenient. But there are a couple of things I would like updated on the app. I know many people have already stated this, but I think searching up songs would really help people to find certain songs that they want to sing. Also, I know maybe this isn’t the biggest deal but I still wanted to include it. As mentioned earlier, I was an alto based on the app. But there were definitely a lot of low notes that I couldn’t reach on most songs. I know it isn’t their fault but it was just something that caught my eye. Overall though, this is a really nice app for karaoke and I love that it was free to download and there were no subscriptions. (Most of the Simply apps require subscriptions) Anyway, I definitely recommend this app for someone who loves singing or even a beginner. -Izzy 😁

You will be more frustrated than anything else. As if learning to sing wasn’t hard enough already, now you will be battling the app the whole time with incorrect note identification and poor timing between the vocals and the music. If the app was free then okay. But to pay monthly/yearly to have notes not register correctly, leaving you annoyed instead of uplifted from singing is not going to keep people wanting to learn. I bought a year subscription and I literally deleted the app after 2 weeks because the timing and the note identification made it impossible to have any accurate or consistent feedback. I was developing bad habits trying to get notes to register which really defeats the purpose.

Here is more detailed examples:
It says I’m a bass when I’m clearly a tenor. You can adjust the vocal range when singing but it seems to then adjust the notes I sing as if I am a bass. Everything I would sing, that were clearly in key, always registered too high since it thought I was a bass and wouldn’t change. The other thing I didn’t enjoy was i was 90% accurate when I first started the app, and then after 2 weeks of daily practice the best score I could get was like a 77%. I either got worse, which I don’t think, or the app incorrectly registered the notes I sang. When listening back, my 90% scores sounded really bad with terrible tone and my lower 70% scores sounded far better and much more listenable.

Obviously every free app isn’t actually free. Nothing is free in this world. Don’t expect going in to this app that it’s free, it isn’t. This app still needs a lot of developing. Also especially better ads. The ads barely give you any information on the actual app. All I am saying don’t expect this app to be like the ads. The ads barely demonstrate the app well enough. Well I get that their ads giving less descriptions helps sales, but it’s harmful for kids not talking about the price. Some kids I know who downloaded this app like my cousin went it to the game thinking it was free. And once she got in and saw the whole subscription thing she clicked it without thinking. You might say how does that deal with the ads well if you talked more about the money instead of saying it’s free to download talk about the subscriptions. Kids are dumb and will buy it to this if you don’t get more description. But I know this is a company and companies are pretty shady so they are probably doing this whole stuff on purpose. Just if you aren’t a scummy company give more descriptions on the app in your ads. Also you just need more in general the ads only really focus on one thing about everything in the app. This lack of detail just makes you kinda go blind in the app.

I downloaded this app to get better at my singing I am in a choir and does theater, so I wanted to train my voicebto get better. The intro was awesome andbi understood it but after the intro it went down hill for me. I am syill in school and living with my parents so I am not allowed to have subscriptions in apps. When it opened up the library I couldn't play any song, I wish that you could unlock songs with either adds (I don't really care for adds unless they are right in the middle of something) or we start off with a few songs and by doing them really good or playing more songs you would be able to unlock them. Second I can't practice my lip and mouth movements because I need a subscription to do so. I would rather have the same things as u said earlier unlock with adds or songs. That is really it so because his can't move on I can't say anything else. Oh, one other thing I wish we could edit our profiles and have a part of the app where we can sing with other people! (That might already be added but in the later levels, and likevi already explained I can't move on) I hope this could help viewers that ink about the app more carefully or the developers find different ways for people to enjoy the game experience

I saw this on an ad for when I was playing another game and it looks really cool because I love singing and I really want to start being professional way more professional so I download it and thinking that you know I will just have vocal exercises and that I could do any song I would like but you have to pay for almost every single song that you want. You have to pay for premium to get any song and the only thing that is free is the lesson that comes the first thing and then after that you have to pay for almost everything I write this maybe three out of 10 but I would definitely recommend buying it but then don’t pay for premium because then you’ll have to pay $10 a month and I do not recommend that I thought it was just gonna be everything free but no, I thought wrong so don’t download this app unless you wanna play $10 for a a few songs don’t download it unless you want to pay $10. Also the lessons are super clear and understanding so super sad that I wasn’t able to do any songs or anything so I haven’t gotten very far so tell me what you guys think also do not pay for almost everything pay for the month, the premium, and then no more!!!

As a semi-professional singer, I recognize that we can all use some help improving our instrument. The concept of this app is fantastic and sold me based on the advertisements. First of all, beyond the 20-min tutorial, absolutely nothing is free. So I decided to gamble $10 for one month to see what unlocked. The songs, while customizable to your voice range, have to EACH be customized—the songs were always intuitively set WAY too low for my alto voice. Not all altos can sing the low-low notes. Next is the singing interface. A click beat behind the music would be helpful with staying on beat with some of the more free flowing instrumentation. Next comes my review of the pitch identifying portion of the app. Notes that I’m fairly certain were on pitch were flagged as off pitch, and ONLY when I sang very straight and lifeless was I able to achieve proper pitch results. This does NOT help someone become better as a singer, it only helps people beat an app game. In fact, my voice felt very stressed after doing a couple songs in my proper range because of this. There also does not appear to be any real singing technique tutorials, short of breathing exercises. Again, I had high hopes for this app as a singer who always wants to be better, but the app falls way short.

The little bit I was able to use this app, it was really cool. The vocal range adaptation is really great and needs to be focused on more in other softwares like this imo. I was enjoying myself until I hit the impenetrable paywall this app presents you with after 3 lessons in less than 10 minutes and no trial songs. You might think, “oh but there is still some stuff to do right?” and sure, you can repeat the same 3 intro lessons over and over again to your heart’s content. There are a total of ZERO songs that you can try before you have to pay for their entire library of songs for at least $10 (and that’s only for a month). The closest you get to singing along before the paywall blocks your way, is the just chorus of 1 song. The whole point of this app is for you to learn how to sing by singing along with your favorite music, adjusted to your vocal range. It makes zero sense to me why you would advertise that part of your product so much, present a free trial for testing said product, and then not provide a way for people to actually try it out before they buy.

TLDR: This app is the equivalent of walking into an ice cream shop, seeing the ice cream, and the only way to buy any is to pay for a monthly membership without trying any samples.

I really enjoyed the instructional style, and feel like I could benefit from this app.
I do wish there were a selection of free songs that you are able to sing all of the way through, or a small number of songs, with the live feedback included for free. For example, 5 free songs of your choice before being charged, or a library of less in demand songs that you could practice with.
As it is now, I am wary of committing, because it only provides instructions and feedback on little snippets of songs, and you don’t get a choice of what those songs are. Additionally you never get to try out the program on an entire song, so it’s difficult to determine if the app. would continue to help me progress. I absolutely understand that the developers need to make a living, and feel like the price is fair, if the quality of instruction is as good as it is in the free demo. But without the ability to sing several songs through to try it out, I won’t be subscribing.
Overall though, the app quality seems great, and likely to help a large range of singers, from beginners to experienced, improve on their performances.

I saw an ad for this app on TikTok and I thought this must be fun but no, it’s terrible. at first it just told me to do silly things like say woo hoo and scream at a ship, but then it made me sing a song that I didn’t even know the lyrics to but how am I supposed to sing a song I don’t even know the lyrics to and yes, I know it gives me the lyrics but still I didn’t know I didn’t have it memorized so and it’s difficult to do that and go through this whole process getting my voice thingy and then it makes you pay to get a song. there aren’t even non-premium songs like every single song is a premium song that’s so stupid. You are singing app advertising the fact that you have to sing to use it you might as well just make it an upfront payment if you’re not even gonna let u use the app without paying what’s the point of an in app purchase if you can’t do anything else except for that purchase, that is the stupidest thing and I even read through the like explanation of the app and it said nowhere in the explanation that you had to pay to sing a song like that’s so annoying. You should’ve explained that better before I downloaded it thanks. terrible experience work on your explanation on your app in the App Store.

I think you get the deal with this, and I’m also gonna mention on how this app isn’t as good as it used to. But before this I’m just gonna say, Hi I’ve had this app since may something 2022. This app used to genuinely be very good. Like top tier, yknow, when everything was free. Back then it didn’t really have lessons but it was still good having the voice thing to see your voice range and talked you through the app and the song library was FREE. and late 2022 they introduced lessons for the first time to which o thought was really cool! Took a break from the app after that, and not to mention was still FREE at the time. Next to earlier this year where they decided to get more professional with the lessons and I thought was decent, but notice on how it’s still FREE? Still early this year the made it to where it was MANDATORY to do the lessons, which is literal Ykw. That part literally sucked. And now to currently where I’m writing this review you basically have to pay for EVERYTHING. except for lessons, and lessons are the most boring part, but I get there important but the genre is misleading, at this point it isn’t a “advance karaoke app” It’s a learning app where you have to pay to actually get what you downloaded this app for. Totally money hungry. The old version was better.
