Smule: Karaoke Music Studio 12+

Please remove the 100 video rule.

I love this app! I make funny singing videos and I never had a problem with this app! I love how you can communicate with people that have the same interest in singing! This app is really great but the only problem is the limitations for the none V.I.P members. I get that they need to make money somehow but the other limitations such as not being able to start your own duets or solos were working just fine. I don’t mean to disrespect the creators in anyway I just really would appreciate if the creators would at least let us make as much videos as we want without being limited. I never really was a fan of the limitations on this app like not being able to sing some songs if you are not a V.I.P but I know that they need to make money somehow so I never really questioned it but I feel like it’s just not that fair that we can’t make more than 100 videos if we are not a V.I.P. Again I don’t mean in anyway to disrespect the creators and I really love this app and the hard work they put in creating it but I would really appreciate that when the new updates come out that you guys can take off the 100 video limitation for the non V.I.P members. Thanks so much, I absolutely love this app otherwise!!! 👌

Community is great - App is Meh... Best collection of tracks tho

First I want to assure everybody that this app is not getting updated anywhere near as much as the update log would have you believe lol… it is simply compliance with Apple’s update frequency rule. App performance has never really “improved” The entire three years I’ve been using it; at times it has gotten worse and then return to normal, but I deal with the same bugs I’ve been dealing with since I started on here. If you really look through the log you’ll see that any time they make even the most minor of ACTUAL changes, they take care to point it out. The most recent actual change was a UI adjustment, that tried to help take the sting out of a recent-ish UI change that I personally dislike rather strongly. The community is pretty awesome as long as you are not a tool, and I’ve never seen a bigger collection of songs on any of the other apps. It also has slightly, to moderately less bots than the other apps I’ve seen as well. Social features suuuuuck but in some ways, I can appreciate the effect that has on the platform overall. It absolutely isn’t intentionally so lol - same low effort results. Sometimes I wonder if there is just one person programming this, that barely knows how to program. Considering the cost of a pro membership, the absolute lack of any kind of decent functionality is not really acceptable IMO. Other apps have FAR more advanced social features, and have been around for far less time.

Was a wonderful app until they decided to ignore longtime users!

For 11 years I have been an avid user of Smule, through server crashes, glitches, downtimes and also song licensure issues. The one feature that I started to really appreciate was the ability to be able to join anyone’s Open Calls (OCs) at anytime without having to worry about it expiring since it gave singers more options to join songs that are hard to find and may not be as popular. For some this feature became even more important to them during the pandemic because they lost friends and being the social app this feature helped lots of people pay tribute and keep their memory alive.
The current update removes this wonderful feature that endeared it to so many and for many “it is the last straw” because many people need more time to join others due to time they need to work and attend to life and can’t join as often as they used to. By removing this feature you’ve alienated the users who have been loyal to this app and removed the one reason that VIP users remain on this app. For an app that has reached maturity, it is truly baffling and also disheartening to see that with all the progress you’ve made to build it up, you’ve regressed right back to circa. 2013 when it all began and it was just a brand new fun app. You can do better and maybe invest your resources in your loyal customers instead of alienating them would be a start.
