It won’t let me log back into my account a little bar keeps popping up that says [Error Username Or Password Is Incorrect Please Try Again] but I put all my info correctly I don’t know what to do.

Impossible to cancel subscription

Croldu

I tried this app but never found a use for it even during COVID lockdown, so when my subscription came up for renewal I tried to cancel it. Turns out I can’t; I got a note back from Acapella (which, in the meantime, had collected money for a second year on an app I never used) saying that they can’t cancel; only Apple can. They included in their email a couple of links which would, they said, tell me how to cancel through Apple. I e followed the instructions only to get stuck in an endless loop of being re-referred from one page to another. In other words, it is impossible for me to cancel an expensive subscription TO AN APP I NEVER USE, and they’ll be collecting from me every year until I die (or change my credit card, although I’m not sure that would do the trick). Ka-Ching!

Not designed for musicians

I love the concept of the app and even bought a year-long subscription but I am realizing more and more how this app was not designed for musicians. For example, I’m running my audio interface into my phone so that I can record in Acapella using my mics. However, there are limited Input settings in Acapella so it’s diverting my mono input channel into one channel of stereo. I have to do this because the default phone mic is awful at picking up electric guitar and drums. I am running j to some other issues as well: it is very easy to accidentally delete recordings; the fact that you can’t change the number of squares after the onset of a project is annoying; it’s hard to find the videos I’ve made once I start a new project. Aside from the unhelpful FAQ on the website, I haven’t found any way to get help through customer service. tl;dr It’s really frustrating to use if you’re looking to record full band. ALSO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL THE PREMIUM ACCOUNT

Could be much better

I've had fun with this app, but there are some major problems: 1. You can't edit individual screens--if the cat jumps on your lap or a fire engine goes by, you can't backup a few bars and keep going. You have to start all over again. 2. The save and share process is absolutely bizarre. If you bump the computer or go to another screen you lose the save and need to start again. When you do get it saved, it takes hours to show up in your profile.

Was good before an update

I’m not sure what happened but after an update a week ago or so, the sound in my videos have lots of noise in it. I’m still happy to use this app but the noise devalues the quality of my videos; unlike how it was before this update. Hopefully this gets fixed.

Intermittent app failures

Poliforous

This app is so frustrating. It crashes often and after literally hours of work will often not display the video in my recordings, only a screenshot photo. Not worth the paid subscription.

Bugs

appleJOOCE

There are certain users that clog up the collard with me tags and I try to block them and yet they still show up… I’m not sure what the app creators meant by block but I don’t want to see these users at all! Also the same videos pop up when you click join collab. Every single time.

Great app - free OR paid

Bazrik

This app is simply fantastic. No, it’s not a full-fledged studio in a can! But if your goal is to learn how to record some really fun home compilations, this app is worth every penny. And, the free version is also fun and a great way to try it out. So, you can’t really lose.… And no I’m not getting paid to say this

Fun!

funny fun fun!!!??

Kinda hard to use but it’s fun! Darn subscription though!! It makes you sign up to use a lot of it! But you can still record your own music.

Too expensive

Mr. Bright Blues

I’d like to say I “love” this app but it’s way too expensive. Or maybe overpriced is a better word. $10 a month! Over $100 a year. As soon as I find a cheaper replacement I’m switching. That being said, I do use this app a lot and it’s very useful to me as a musician/arranger.
