Simply Sing: My Singing App 4+

This is the greatest app I’ve used in a very long time. I initially got it to help my daughter who is autistic learn to read better by singing along because she really loves music. I got insist of singing as well. I never thought I would be able to really sing because I had some issues with my voice in the past. In the year, 2000 I completely lost my voice for two years due to acid reflux. I truly never thought I would be able to sing because I also have scarring on my vocal cords from multiple surgical procedures for my knees. I’ve also had three surgical procedures on my vocal cords to try to alleviate the scarring. Wow, with family over Thanksgiving I experienced catharsis. Since then, my singing has become dramatically more powerful. Prior to Thanksgiving when I was saying, and I will let my wife listen to it. She called it torture because my voice was just monotone flat because I wasn’t able to feel the music. But since Thanksgiving, I have been able to sing beautifully with a lot more emotion and feeling been able to carry notes that I never thought I would be able to do to the fact that I had vocal cord issues. I highly recommend this app if you truly want to learn to sing or even if you want to do it just for fun. I am even willing to give a video testimonial to show how much this app has changed my life.

I really like this app because it truly helped me find my vocal range and it was honest to where I had different set tones to test out at first and then told me what category I’m suppose to be singing in. I know my pitch its really high & squeaky, especially when I’m excited about something, I tend to get louder and higher. So I know it’s super annoying when I talk to people. Then they always avoid wanting to talk with me. So for me, knowing the vocal range has helped me to mimic those who ARE in my range that way I can always sing songs in on that level. If I was to ever change the way I speak now FOREVER, I don’t think people would know who I am. LOL! Because when I automatically speak, my voice is noticeable and they’ll automatically guess it’s me off the bat. So THANK YOU for helping me with this!

Especially now I know what type of songs I SHOULD SING. Funny thing is, most of the artists’ I have in my range, are the ones who I’m always listening to and TRYING TO SING ALONG WITH.

Now I know what level I’m to sing at, I think i might be able to pull it off! And knowing these people are in my range, I don’t feel so self conscious about my voice as much.

You will be more frustrated than anything else. As if learning to sing wasn’t hard enough already, now you will be battling the app the whole time with incorrect note identification and poor timing between the vocals and the music. If the app was free then okay. But to pay monthly/yearly to have notes not register correctly, leaving you annoyed instead of uplifted from singing is not going to keep people wanting to learn. I bought a year subscription and I literally deleted the app after 2 weeks because the timing and the note identification made it impossible to have any accurate or consistent feedback. I was developing bad habits trying to get notes to register which really defeats the purpose.

Here is more detailed examples:
It says I’m a bass when I’m clearly a tenor. You can adjust the vocal range when singing but it seems to then adjust the notes I sing as if I am a bass. Everything I would sing, that were clearly in key, always registered too high since it thought I was a bass and wouldn’t change. The other thing I didn’t enjoy was i was 90% accurate when I first started the app, and then after 2 weeks of daily practice the best score I could get was like a 77%. I either got worse, which I don’t think, or the app incorrectly registered the notes I sang. When listening back, my 90% scores sounded really bad with terrible tone and my lower 70% scores sounded far better and much more listenable.
