Expensive and Lacks Key Features

I’ve been using this app to create music with friends while social distancing. In terms of ease of transferring projects, it’s fairly straightforward and provides a decent platform for doing so. However, given the extremely steep monthly price, I would hope that this app had the following:Ability to work on multiple projects at once — once you start one project, you basically have to finish before opening a different one. There are workarounds, but to me this is such a dealbreaker with an expensive app.Ability to edit takes — I know the video element makes this a little tricky, but if I have a slight mistake I should be able to piece in a short audio clip to “voice over” and cross fade between the original take, without affecting the video. Tempo changes during the song — or the ability to temporarily pause the metronome if you are performing songs with pauses or tempo fluctuations Graphical eq — there are eq settings that can be modified, but graphical eq would be much more convenient to work with in an app setting.Desktop/android support — really need this one. I can’t collaborate with friends who don’t use iOS. I’m still getting used to this software, and I’m probably not aware of all the features it has to offer. However, I pay less for other production software that does way more for a fraction of the price; honestly this is just a rip off. Once quarantine ends, I will most likely not be renewing my subscription.

Developers have become greedy

Every tutorial or promotion I have seen says the free version allows 1-minute recordings. Not anymore! Only 30 seconds. So....for the amateur or kid just playing around with their instruments or voice you can’t even record a short song to send to grandma or whatever. This category of user (which is pretty massive) is unlikely to be able to justify the recurring monthly or annual cost of unlocking more time. Maybe a one-time payment to unlock the 1-minute timeframe could pull these users back in whilst still making the developers their $$$. Aside from that, the app itself is straightforward. It would be nice to be able to turn off the sound of your precious tracks as you record a new one as an option. It would also be nice to find some way to get Bluetooth headphones to work properly. Being trapped by the length of the wire makes getting anyone with an instrument into view on the camera hard and impossible with a cello!

Why the expensive subscription?

I really like this app. It’s very useful for sketching song ideas. The real huge bummer is the fact that I can’t record over 1 minute without purchasing a regular subscription for roughly $50 a year. The price in itself isn’t a huge issue but the fact that the advanced features are only temporary sort of irks me a bit including not being able to save my files in the free version. I would have no problem paying a one time $50 price tag upfront for a full version of the app but it feels like a slap in the face when they want a yearly paycheck from people who want to use this. The app itself is wonderful. If you like making Instagram videos it’s great because they can only be one minute anyway. I would recommend this app to friends but the subscription is a little too much for the advanced version to be worth it. If you have access to a laptop or desktop just use iMovie. It’s a one time purchase and the possibilities are endless compared to the limited free version of this app.

Expensive and Not easy

The app cost arrangement has changed. There was a paid down load version, and free down load version. What I’ve paid for a year is a lot for an app, as a church musician. But, now what do I do with the choir members . . . Free TRIAL version now, then they’ll have to pay. And I will lose people because it won’t be worth the money for them, or they can’t afford it, especially if we don’t know if it’ll work for us yet. This is a developer who is now taking advantage of a situation where volunteer groups are just wanting to make music together during this COVID situation . . . until they can come together again. These aren’t professional musicians, they just want to gather a few moments in voice. Congratulations for ruining a decent thing. I don’t mind paying for fair price/service . . . But this is price gouging. Then, there are no directions. You just have to figure it out. We’re all ‘collaborators’ now . . . New jargon . . . With no hints how to proceed . . . Man. I have to use this for now, I’ve paid for it . . . I hope you fill your coffers to the brim . . . You know musicians have no money at this time. Have a good day.

Missing major features

When I first tried out the app, I thought it was really useful to create music covers with multiple parts, so I bought the yearly subscription to be able to record for more than 30 seconds, tolerating the price. Being able to hear my other recorded parts while I record is what caught my interest. Now that I’ve used the app more, I’ve found out how limited this app is. There isn’t an editor where you can move tracks around or have a part that appears for only part of the song. You have to record each part in one go. This app is also only available on mobile, which I find annoying because my phone’s mic quality isn't what you would call good. I also wanted to make use of the guide music that would have been really useful to listen to while recording, but for some reason Acapella only uses Apple Music songs that require a subscription which I’m not paying for to play more than 30 seconds of the song I want. There’s so many extra useless features like filters and watermarks when Mixcord should have focused on actual music-making and ease of access features.

Acapella is worth its weight in gold!

I have used Acapella over the last 1 1/2 years and it’s allowed me to effortlessly collaborate with friends around the globe. When people hear the collaborations they’re amazed and often ask how it’s done. When I tell them about the app they either purchase it on the spot, or they complain that it cost money. Seriously? For less than one dinner out, this app allows you to record with people anywhere in the world. Acapella has been a hugely instrumental to me and I would recommend it for so many reasons. Whether you are your own band or Acapella singer and want to record multiple tracks, or you are looking for a way to collaborate with friends, it’s a great platform. I would give it 10 stars if they were available for ease of use, quality of product and fun factors! Thank you Acapella! You make the world a brighter place!

Terrible design for a great concept

I got this because it is something I want to use, being able to record multiple videos of me and overlay them together to make a song. But when I started using it, it was super confusing and just left out a lot of things that shouldn’t have been left out. First off, just trying to input two previously recorded videos isn’t allowed. Only one, so that was annoying. Meaning I couldn’t put two in and then line them up on my own. Second, when I tried to record a simple song there was no way to turn off the sound of the first video that was already there, however you could turn off the metronome. This made the sound come out like heart beats when I was done because I couldn’t turn up the metronome and down the video. This leads me to the third problem, which would fix everything if they let you do this. You can’t move one of the videos a little bit forward or backwards to line them up perfectly. Last, you need premium for basically everything and it’s super expensive.

Great app — except for the ridiculous subscription

This is a fantastic app that allows people to be creative and collaborate in all sorts of ways, however this is an awful option for students and artists who just want to experiment. If you can afford shelling out $50 a year it’s great! However most students and musicians don’t have money for a looping app they just want to experiment with. You are better off investing your money in sound equipment and a DAW because you’d have those long term to record on rather than be stuck paying a subscription to a phone app...If this was like iReal Pro and only asked for a one time purchase it would be much more worth while. Even if it’s a steep purchase price, you’d have the tool on your phone to mess around with whenever you felt like getting creative. Sad to see reviews of people that paid the previous one time purchase which has apparently been voided since they changed the terms to a monthly subscription as well.... greed in action, making it harder than it has to be for musicians and artists to find their voice.I’d happily give this app 5 stars if the In-app purchases page was truthful at it really was a one time purchase of 7.99 for all the features.

What’s with the delayed timing?

Okay so I’m a percussionist. Because of COVID-19, I wanted to try something new and post a video of me playing a bass line excerpt. Basically, the music I would be playing calls for careful counting and splitting (for you drummers/drum corps folks). I recorded my first video WITH MY HEADPHONES and the audio came out great. No interference, nothing unpleasant. A nice clear sound. Now here’s the problem. I come to record my second video and after hearing the finished product of the second video - it’s COMPLETELY out of time and does not fall in with the initial recording. I have NO IDEA what it is but it definitely is not my headphones because they’re brand new. Keep in mind, there’s a new metronome feature on this app so after making the first recording there’s no need for the metronome because I would be going off the first video. Basically the audio and video don’t match up AT ALLLLLLLL when you put in the recordings together. Maybe if I wasn’t a musician this wouldn’t bother me as much but because the name of the app is ACAPELLA I would assume that there wouldn’t be timing issues with the recordings. Definitely wouldn’t recommend and is time consuming.

Great app! I have a suggestion though…

Ok, so I love this app. I’m a music lover anyway, but I love being able to do all the parts at once! I only have one complaint. It’s really more of a suggestion. I like that you can post privately or publicly, don’t change that. It’s nice to be able to only send the videos to friends. But I think there should be a third option. There should be an option to let only your followers see the video. My thing is it’s great to send links to people who don’t have the app, but if they have the app and are following you you shouldn’t have to send them a link. Don’t get me wrong, I love the private posting thing, but, like I said, there should be a third option so you’re followers don’t have to get links and like the posts to save them. Please consider it! If you did it, it would mean a lot! Other than that, this app is great!
