Medly 4+

Yes but the rating...

I do really really really (yes, in Chinese old scholars say that important thing should be told three times) like Medly and already have composed songs even better than my old composition Raining Roof (the improved compositions are Rainy Day, Rendezvous, and Change respectively). However I’d like the price to no longer be free but Member no longer required. You can say the price - $5.99 and even more people just will get past the MONEY barrier and you get profits better than just...before now.

Say, do you know my second dream in my mind? I’d like a free, open-source Notes app replacing Medly (and free - but, people do make instruments as a donation.) And I looked at other reviews saying that a gifted teenager could make Medly. Just stop there, you could trust me for new Medly stuff. (Personally, I’d replace the Starter electronic pack with a better Electron, with the Aura (now named Electron) being the lead.) But I’d do the ripping out since my actual status is close to yours, just three years behind. The Notes ... it looks like Apple .... but maybe I would lead in the E-field later on.

Oh, and the musics are not just a rip-off of Gallop. Just to make this rating appear as the most relevant of all, so people can get in the Compositionist school. Yes, the Compositionist Axis Rebellion of Music (opponents: Medly, Auxy, MusiQuest). And there are so much parentheses.

Medly is extremely expensive to make and to maintain. We tend to support new devices as soon as they come out, and are relatively quick on supporting essential new features that are released with Apple's annual updates. Not to mention, we're still working on new features and release new packs every month. This isn't a one-time project, that we update every once in a while (where a $5.99 one-time price tag would make sense); this is continuously iterated on product that's extremely expensive to maintain and develop.

And we're a small company where we don't have investors - our only source of income is Member. And with Member, we've continued to make Medly better and better. There exists open source and/or free music-making apps - but none matches Medly because we dedicate everything behind it.

You may see Member as expensive, but the reality is, for $35, you could only purchase 1 or 2 packs from a third party website. With Member at $35/year, you get our access to our existing library and 12 more packs that will be released during your subscription. To put in another perspective, it's less than a game on a major gaming console.

apologies

my apologies for trying to understand your business, although i still am saying i recommended 2$ not just 75c, i do not understand completely these things since i am a child ( I'm 13). i wont argue the price anymore but i still think you guys were very rude to me and others but my rating is going to be 4 stars still. thank you for responding to my previous reviews and i wish you guys good luck

previous response :
you see this app is really good, i don't write reviews unless i have something i really want to say so ill just get to the point. i truly love this app and making music is so easy, but i don't agree with a subscription. i understand that the app must be expensive to produce and i appreciate that but... i think that you should give us more than one pack, even two would be good? and make the rest of the packs purchaseable for around maybe 75c-2$?? that way people can choose what sounds they want to use without worrying about a charge every month. some people don't have the money to pay each month, so i really hope my idea is looked into at least a bit, since personally i am only interested in having a few packs anyways, so if i got the subscription i would be spending a ton of money for things i don't really need. thank you for your time but i still do really enjoy this app, just not the starter pack being extremely limited and there being a ton of other packs i have to pay each month for.

Complaint

Sorry to bother I but I like this app but why do we have to pay to use loops I don’t think really like that many people may not like it too sir you created a great app but the only thing that you should only change is being able to get the loops for free to create some great songs many people would like and download this app it’s perfect just change it to the loops being free take that being a member thing there’s also people that don’t have credit cards or money like me but with this app I can make money I can create many great projects for my Tucson rappers please bro just do that one thing for 7 billion people all around the world think how many people with download this if you do if free just like the app music maker jam or garage band their competition if you just take off the member request many rappers and singers or producers will keep installing it that benifits you because you created something very useful why take money for it if it can be useful so your next invention will be liked because of the first application made was so good know people trust your great creations that benifits you well

I'm sorry you feel this way - but if we made loops, or instruments or (insert request here) free, then there is no reason to become a Member. Without Member, we can't bring in funds to help build Medly, Medly's sounds, loops and songs - all these things cost an enormous amount of money and we're just a small company. To put it more bluntly: without Member - Medly wouldn't exist.

Right now - we have one of the best free offerings in the App Store and we're incredibly proud of this. As such, we have no desire to add more free content to Medly. If you'd like access to more content, you'll have to become a Member.
