Smule: Sing Songs & Make Music

My favorite app of all times, why took away the credits WHY? ;;( please Bring credits back. Please, If you bring credits back then i will happily put 5 stars :D. Some people can not afford VIP. Other wise I am going to have to join the big group of people who decide quit the app if the credits dont get back. I am old participating i. This app as non vio and have tried vip, either way i feel like i do not exist and is being takeit by only vips, some are famous vios some not so much, i think non vip have the right to sing too, i only being polite and nice and kind to many people, nowadays no one listen to me anymore and that is sad, also i dont know if is that my acount got hacked or what? What is wrong with my account why i dont get listen anymore? I have follow every single community rule and yet dont know what is going on and why i feel ignored and unheard? Is it an obligation to join VIP? Or else you will be completely ignored? Has been my account bugged? I join people and nobody listen or like it snymore cause i dont have vip. Again im one of the oldest member of this app and has been only polite and educated. What is going on? Is being my account deleted without any reason? Please explain it feels fristrating, and receiving invitation of “ soneone can’t wait to sing with me” and that same person has have their account removed, i dont know this person please help. I guess smule obligated me to terminate the account cause i can not afford VIP? I have tried vip before but does not work for me. So so,long my only therapy resource.

When I first downloaded this app in 2022, I really enjoyed the sound quality on recordings. I noticed there were no problems with static or delay. One thing, however, that stood out to me from the beginning was the fact that I couldn’t sing anything by myself without paying for a subscription (VIP). At first, I was fine with this, but as time progressed, I began to grow tired of having to join people who sang with different styles or in ways that weren’t necessarily what I was going for. I ended up deleted the app but then decided to download it back just to check in on things and see how everything was going. I was disappointed to see that a new update took place where older recordings expired after a certain period of time. I couldn’t find or search up any of my older recordings which made me upset. To make matters worse, I now had a harder time finding singers to join because recordings wouldn’t have a joining option. Even if you clicked on a duet, you couldn’t join it because it was closed for new recordings. The only way you could access it would be to subscribe and make your own recording in a solo, duet, or group. But not every user has money to pay for that. I, personally, feel it is unnecessary to charge for extra access when you can sing karaoke for free right at home. I know you guys are trying to raise money for the app, but I think something should be done to make sure every user has access to 100% songs, whether it be with ads, mini games, etc. Nobody wants to sing with someone else all the time or see their older recordings go away. Please do something about it.

First I want to assure everybody that this app is not getting updated anywhere near as much as the update log would have you believe lol… it is simply compliance with Apple’s update frequency rule. App performance has never really “improved” The entire three years I’ve been using it; at times it has gotten worse and then return to normal, but I deal with the same bugs I’ve been dealing with since I started on here. If you really look through the log you’ll see that any time they make even the most minor of ACTUAL changes, they take care to point it out. The most recent actual change was a UI adjustment, that tried to help take the sting out of a recent-ish UI change that I personally dislike rather strongly. The community is pretty awesome as long as you are not a tool, and I’ve never seen a bigger collection of songs on any of the other apps. It also has slightly, to moderately less bots than the other apps I’ve seen as well. Social features suuuuuck but in some ways, I can appreciate the effect that has on the platform overall. It absolutely isn’t intentionally so lol - same low effort results. Sometimes I wonder if there is just one person programming this, that barely knows how to program. Considering the cost of a pro membership, the absolute lack of any kind of decent functionality is not really acceptable IMO. Other apps have FAR more advanced social features, and have been around for far less time.
