Best tool if you’re a songwriter
It’s great cuz it’s easy to use and certain features make it great… If your phone is in low battery mode it won’t go dark where the app is running. Also it takes up much less memory on your phone than voice recordings. I also use it to send songs I’ve written via email to myself and friends. The quality is as good as can get for phone recording. It normalizes your recordings. I love this app. Salvador Bella Songwriting is my YouTube
United StatesDropbox sync broken
The app has been crashing within 30 seconds of being opened. This is consistently happening until I turn Dropbox sync off. The app works without it, but I’m concerned about not having my work backed up, and also not sure how I’m going to move hundreds of song ideas from this phone the new one I want to buy, without the Dropbox functionality. Currently looking for a new songwriting app solution until the dev is able to address the sync issue. I emailed them a couple of times over the last week but received no reply, so I’m not hopeful at the moment.
United StatesiPad not supported by Hum? Only one device for dropbox?
So I lost a lot of song ideas on my iPad. Big deal? Huge deal. I loved this app. And maybe I can recover my files from a backup, but I doubt it (for technical reasons I won’t get into). If Hum doesn’t support iPad, then finding out by losing files shows a lack of transparency for an app meant to STORE DATA. HUM is only capable of storing data from ONE device? Did I miss the warnings? And the file names in Dropbox are “code” not the titles, like the ones Hum assigns when you fail to type a title. Not only THAT, audio goes to one folder and text to another. Not only that, but don’t change anything in Dropbox or you may screw it all up. Maybe I missed the warnings. Except I didn’t. Granted, you can save any given file however you want, one-by-one. But why bother when you get Dropbox, mostly to sync your numerous recordings? I love Hum, but one more complaint: is it me or did the sound quality drop from iPhone 7+ to 13? Sloppy.
United StatesDoesn’t work
Won’t share with voice memos or messenger. Wondering if this app is even supported anymore. A few years since last release. How do I get my money back.
United StatesEasy and intuitive
I like to start with lyrics on paper, once things start to come together, this app makes the details so easy to capture. I love this app!
United StatesNeeds updating badly!
Hum makes better recordings than Voice Memos, but lately has been very spotty when attempting to share files. The sharing is a big part of making the recordings in the first place, so I’m really wishing the developers of the app would update it so we can get back to making sweet music together. This review turns into 5 stars once it’s updated!
United StatesSimple and effective
This is like voice memos, but it adds some basics that are essential for keeping song ideas organized.
