20+ FREE FEATURES — NO ADS, NO BULLS**T

■ Group recordings into mixtapes:
Your next song idea, your next EP, a compilation of synthesizer ideas; regain control and built your own structure, so you always know where to find which ideas!

■ Collaborate in your mixtapes:
Why would you send memos in emails and messages back and forth when you can do it all in-app? Work with your bandmates, your producer and your manager like you always wanted to.

■ Start recording straight from your iPhone lock screen:
Why do photographers get a dedicated camera button and musicians don’t?! Capture sudden ideas as fast and simply as possible.

■ Add photos to your recordings:
Ever noted down vocals or chords on a random piece of paper or lost your synthesizer settings because you didn’t capture them? Guess what!

■ Sync between devices & never lose anything with Tape It’s EU-encrypted cloud:
You wouldn’t believe the number of times users told us how it saved them from losing thousands of their ideas! It also saves iCloud space.

■ Airdrop files or drag&drop from the Tape It desktop client directly into your DAW:
An incredibly powerful way to easily turn your ideas into production or enhance your songs with field recordings!

■ Add notes to your recordings:
Add additional information like chords, BPM, lyrics or just random ideas!

■ Listen to recordings as you would listen to Spotify:
Unlike most apps, Tape It is a fully functional audio player. Listen in your car on your commute, or use your workout time to review yesterday’s ideas!

■ Add markers while and after recording:
Perfect for jam sessions to mark specific parts and song transitions, for music lessons and for longer recordings!

■ Listen to long recordings more easily:
Tiny playback bars on tiny phone screens are a tiny bit annoying. Tape It breaks down long recordings into multiple lines like a paragraph of text to make skimming through a whole session completely natural. Add markers to that and you will never go back!

■ Detect instruments automatically and see smart waveforms:
Now you can see what a recording contains before you even listen to it! And the added photos and notes make it even more easy.

■ Mark favorite recordings:
Listen to your best ideas all in one place instead of scrolling and scrolling.

& more!

Not just for music!!!

I downloaded this app to record my school notes so that I could listen to them at work and on a road trip. The voice notes app that comes with an iPhone doesn’t allow playback of multiple recordings so I was finding it difficult to listen continuously. This app allows continuous playback and you can also make playlists. I was even able to organize my recordings into playlists of each weeks learning. Very simple and easy to use app. I really enjoy using it!
The only very small annoyance was that I logged in using Apple ID on my iPad and when I downloaded the app on my phone and tried to sign in again it generated a new account. I know apple provides a “fake” email when creating accounts so this probably accounted for that error and is more an issue on the apple end. It was an easy fix tho as I was able to airdrop the files from my iPad to my phone both in app and could transfer the recordings between devices. So just be mindful if you’re using Apple ID sign in that you may get 2 accounts and have to airdrop.
But genuinely a really great app. I think I discovered it from a Reddit post when I was on the hunt for an app that I could record my notes with. I’m glad I did!! I can’t speak for anything musical to do with the app but the general premise is great and the audio quality is really good as well. I could even upload my already recorded voice notes into the app to put in the playlist.

Hi Ashley,

Thanks so much for your review. The issue you encountered with your iPad is an odd one; generally speaking, Apple should realise that you already have an account when you sign in with Apple, as long as you are signed into the same Apple ID on both devices. Would you mind shooting me an email to thomas@tape.it so we can look more into this? You really shouldn’t have to Airdrop all the time.

Overpriced

Subscription is a no and for life time ownership is over $100! Haha! might as well buy some hardware.

Great!

Not just for music industry folks. Great recording app and the premium version is great (but not needed if you want free).

Note to devs: the search within the App Store is tough with this. I had to fully type out the entire app name before Apple would populate it.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the review, Jay. We’ll see what we can do about the App Store discovery. It’s a bit of a black box for us how Apple recommends things, unfortunately.
