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!

Great, simple, useful app

I really like this app. It's wonderful for quick recordings and musical idea cataloguing. It has become my every day musical sketch book. Takes no time to get going and that's important when you have something happening right now that you want to capture. The interface is simple, intuitive, and aesthetically pleasing. The developer is also very responsive; I reported a bug and he had a new version with a fix in no time. I know some other reviewers are requesting more features, and there may be some room for growth here but the value of this app in my opinion is in doing one thing well without a lot of bells and whistles to complicate things.

Good start

The app is great in design but still lacks important functionality. It was advertised as importing all my voice memos in iPhone, which took a great deal of my - but it imported them all with the same arbitrary date. I contacted them and first they said it was my error, then they realized it wasn’t. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app to remove the massive mess the import feature created, that didn’t work, so I’m just stuck with this mess within the app, defeating the purpose of importing them in order to sort them into folders. Meh. It also doesn’t work on Apple car play so if you want to listen to your voice or music in the car you have to still export it to another app to do so. The free version has not inspired me to buy the full version. My advice: use it as a stand alone, dont try to integrate it with past voice memos because it won’t work, don’t expect all the features to work, expect some glitches like the record button to sometimes not work, and for that sacrifice you’ll get something that works well for certain functions. I do hope they improve these things because it would be a home run if they did but I’ve had it for months and nothing has changed. Also this is form a user with an up to date relatively recent iPhone.

Hi Richard,

We fixed a bug with incorrect ordering of voice memos in the last update. This should’ve automatically fixed all your existing imports as well; there was no need to reimport. I was in contact to several people about this, and everyone confirmed that it worked for them. I can’t seem to find an email thread with someone called Richard, unfortunately. If I somehow missed you, please shoot me an email again.

Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn’t delete your data on purpose - that way, if you ever lose your phone, you can rest assured everything is backed up. You need to delete your account inside the app if you want to delete all your data.

[Update] The newest version just shipped with much improved CarPlay support. Give it a go!

Best,
Thomas

Incredible app. Incredible support

I’ve been using this app for a few months and there’s so many things. I really love about it. For me, the big thing is having an action button right on my phone’s Lock Screen so I can quickly start recording audio on the fly. The layout of the app is nicely simple and user friendly. I had a couple things that I needed support to help me figure out, and they were on it immediately and super helpful.

If you fancy yourself a budding Fred Again looking to turn your real life field recordings into music, this is the app for you!

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for the kind words! Really glad that you reached out and that we could help you.
