Smule: Sing Songs & Make Music

I had a free day trial, expected it to not actually try to make me pay because it's A FREE TRIAL. It had used a card that isn't my main card to use to pay for just regular stuff in general which I thought one of my family members has been taking money and made a bunch of tension between some of my family members. Turns out it's been an app that is charging me $9.99 dollars for a literal seven day subscription. As I had the use a payment method for downloading FREE APPS to realize that this subscription somehow was taking money not even from my regular main card but instead the card I've been using to save up money for buying stuff that I actually want. I feel so angry knowing that this app had been causing drama in my life and milking money off a card I didn't use nor had registered in my phone during the time of the trial. I really want my money back now that I have at most $7 when I used to have in my account at least $250 which meant that at least every week to almost possibly every few days I would get charged for an app I don't use because I disliked how I could hear myself through my AirPods. Don't use any of the subscriptions, it's a waste of money, and the app should fix their free trial since I've seen others reviews just now stating how they're going the same problems as me ever since the beginning of the year probably, and I hope I get a reply and a refund for the money that was 'used to pay' for the trial.

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.

I love this app! I make funny singing videos and I never had a problem with this app! I love how you can communicate with people that have the same interest in singing! This app is really great but the only problem is the limitations for the none V.I.P members. I get that they need to make money somehow but the other limitations such as not being able to start your own duets or solos were working just fine. I don’t mean to disrespect the creators in anyway I just really would appreciate if the creators would at least let us make as much videos as we want without being limited. I never really was a fan of the limitations on this app like not being able to sing some songs if you are not a V.I.P but I know that they need to make money somehow so I never really questioned it but I feel like it’s just not that fair that we can’t make more than 100 videos if we are not a V.I.P. Again I don’t mean in anyway to disrespect the creators and I really love this app and the hard work they put in creating it but I would really appreciate that when the new updates come out that you guys can take off the 100 video limitation for the non V.I.P members. Thanks so much, I absolutely love this app otherwise!!! 👌
