Music Maker JAM

I have been using this app for years and have loved it! It was one of the best in my book. You only had to pay for sound packs and there were no issues with sharing due to royalties. The sound packs were amazing and mixed very well together. I was able to be very diverse with my creativity and loved the end results. Then recently I lost my phone and all my creations! I was heart broken and gave up on making music for quite some time. Then I got over it and decided to start being creative again. It’s therapeutic for me. When I re-downloaded this app for some reason with my asking to join the monthly plan, I was automatically signed up. Also, most of the sound packs that I used to use and love were gone. Replaced by more expensive ones that lacked the same quality and quantity of past packs. Needless to say I was very disappointed. Plus, there is now a royalty issue which only lets you share on their app. After several attempts trying to contact them, And never getting the generic, standard email saying that someone would get back to me, I gave up and had to contact my credit card company in order to stop being billed. I would suggest that you do not get suckered into their new billing scheme and look to other apps that are free and better. I will no longer be using this app. Be warned and beware.

Just to point out, I’ve been using Music Maker for (about) 1 month at least, and, from my experiences with it, I do believe this is a amazing music app. Currently, as of posting this, while the app itself is great, there is a concern or two that I have to talk about. More particularly, about Bluetooth connection. While you are able to make music on your phone wherever you go, for some reason (at least for me; don’t know if anyone else had this), when I put in the Apple included headphones, I’m able to listen and make music while I have those on, but if I was to connect a Bluetooth headset and use the app, I can’t hear any of the music I’m making nor can I hear anyone else’s songs on the app itself. The other concern, for me, is that when I save or change the name of my music, the “Save” and “Back” options are in a different language. While it’s small, it can be a bit annoying after using the app for a time. But, while these are my concerns, this app, overall, is amazing otherwise. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves to make music!

I thoroughly enjoy this program, and find it easy to use, which is hard with many app like this out there. There are some flaws, and one particular bug that keeps aggravating me. Firstly, I’d like to point out the very limited note choices. There are only a few notes you can choose from, and only one of them is a flat or sharp. I feel that a user should be able to use all the notes, (flats and sharps). Secondly, I think that the transition between chords is a little rough, and needs to sound smoother. And lastly, the bug. Ever since the new update with beatcoins, I keep getting this annoying bug that happens whenever I’m making music. In the middle of my song, the app will freeze, and play this raspy low sound. Eventually the app will crash, thus deleting all my hard work and progress on the song I’m working on. I’m not sure if this is just the device I’m using responding harshly to the abundance of sound coming from the speaker. Nevertheless it’s still annoying. Even if it is just my device, there is still a way to fix it. Add an autosave feature. I couldn’t find one in the settings, (which is in a different language for some reason, and I can’t fix it because the lack of a language setting). It could be turned on or off, so if anyone who doesn’t want it can turn it off. It could have you name your project BEFORE you save it, (the name would still be changeable before posting) an then every five minutes or so, it would pause the app, and save the project. This would also help if someone was using the app at low battery, and the device suddenly turns off and deletes everything. Please fix at least the last one, and the app will improve immensely. Thank you.
