Great app not jut for children, but for people living with intellectual challenges as well! How do I share a song made on the app via e-mail or text?
its a fun game and can make your song but i wish you can record your voice singing to make it better or like add a ucalalie but either than that its pretty fun i guess?!
This App is Fun and creative too I love it just that I can't share my creation with friends though it's very nice try it for those who love 🎶
This is good but it could be better if you could change the guitar chords to whatever you want.
user friendly interface
I'm not a kid but this is fun and easy to use
I like it because oo la and mm are there pls add more
I love what it does, can't wait to absorb the nuances.
Just had to get a new one for my insulin
I love the concept , but it was over complicated for my 3 year old. Every time she used the erasor , the page scrolled and she got lost. My suggestions: Remove all scrolling - just have some single page songs at a fixed tempo. Also the instrument sub categories are confusing. It's hard for a kid to know what instrument they selected because it disappears. My suggestion - don't nest the instruments under categories, just put all the instrument in a long scrolling list.
:: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 :: This app would be so much fun if it would work properly. Half the time nothing happens when I try to add notes, it just scrolls, and other times when I want to scroll, it will only add notes. Sometimes some of the musical sounds don't play when combined with other instruments/notes. It also stops unexepectedly on a regular basis. It's very frustrating, especially since I know it could be a blast to play with...
I had made a lot of songs but it was a difficult task to remember the tunes i made. The app helped me in doing so. I love everything related to music and this app has helped me out in taking a more step towards music. Thank you for creating such a brilliant app.
Gives you or your child the feeling that it's not so complicated to write music. This is something I've always thought, and it has kept me from creating any. Now I feel like if I practice on here and get a feel for it, I can do it. It's great the only thing is I wish you could download or share the creation you make to use elsewhere ( so no one - my son- can't edit it. You can have it just the way you wanted it forever!)
This app has struck a brilliant balance between expression and simplicity. The implicit chord/scale system ensures anything laid down is going to sound amazing. The cute sketchbook design provides a nice look too.
The only problem is we can't record in format mp3 and use it for some other things Hope u update this stuff because I want those music's composed to run under the video that I want to direct with my own music
I loved it and made some really good songs but a lot of the instruments over power each other... then it just becomes a jumbled mess... so what I am suggesting is to add crescendos and decrenscendos so the instruments can go loud and then soft. Thanks!🎺
This app is super awesome but it would be awesomer if you could publicly share the songs you make. Still 5 stars though.
I remember my kid came home from school and said he found a new app called sketch a song. So i went on my phone amd searched it up and downloaded it, he said they were really cool things. And sure enough there was.
Super fun to play with. My kids and I love it. One change that would be cool but not necessary is if there was a way to get a print out of the sheet music for the song you create. Like getting a copy emailed.
Really nice program to get kids hooked on making music! I've been trying to find something to get the kids off of their subway-surfer addiction and I think this might just do the job. Lots of options, very intuitive, no complaints!
Fun, simple to use. Only issues are it's awkward to change the tempo, and time consuming to scroll forward to the end of your song. But otherwise its fun to play around with.
Very useful when inspiration comes suddenly in the middle of the day and you want to see what it gives in music before getting home (in other words, before forgetting).
All I can say is wow. An excellent easy to use very functional music making app and it is free. Honestly if you do not get this you are an idiot. What a wonderful way to teach kids about music. Now all it needs to be perfect is a few well known common songs. Such as national anthems or the twinkle twinkle type.
Couldn't be easier to make music than with this app! The grooves supplied with it are authentic in sound and feel - try 'Calypso' to start with. The interface is great: the only things I found difficult were scrolling and changing the tempo. Thanks heaps! :-) I'd also like a 'Save [and continue, I.e. without exit]' feature, and a 'Save as ...' feature too. Also, how about an export/import facility, to MIDI or MusicML?
I started off horrible, but now that ive got the hang of it, i can draw pictures and still sound amazing!
This is just AWESOME! You can easily adjust notes, and there are SOOO many different instruments!
