- Bluetooth audio quality is very poor
- Saving large files takes forever
Great App, Great Price
I love this app. In my opinion, when used in tandem with Mixpad, it’s just as powerful as the big boy expensive programs. I’m able to load my cassette audio files from 1983 and clean them up just like new. I really appreciate all the functions of BOTH apps especially for the price. One-time token charge and no subscriptions. Thank you NCH.
So slow!
Try a different app.
Really good for a phone app
It’s very good and has all basic features and everything so far is working well. Thanks
Can’t import any audio files
For some reason, I can’t import an audio such as a wav or an m4a. When I try to import those audio files in the app, it would not work. Please fix it.
Good design, with a low saves that kill it for me.
I was hoping for something that had a similar look and feel to Adobe Audition v3. This was close enough so I paid and started learning the ins and outs (so to speak). Everything was fine until I saved a file. It seemed slow. I tested a 2 hour recording to simulate the symposium I needed this for, with presentations running 90-120 minutes, with 15 min between some sessions. The save took over 10 minutes, regardless of the file format. Fatal flaw. If there’s no way to shorten this significantly, it’s a deal killer for me.
One of the best apps frfr
I mean it makes audio files into videos in a super cool way and it is pretty easy to use along with the fact that it’s free, must have for any musician!! DOWNLOAD IT ASAP!! And the fact that it never pops up in the AppStore stinks. This should be number one for audio to video!!
HORRIBLE!
I was trying to edit cheer music and it wouldn’t let me import music! LIKE WHAT!😡😡😡
Awesome
Really easy to use, but lots of options to be able to work on tracks. Used to use a different app, but this was recommended by a colleague and glad I tried!
Temperamental
When it works it works great, it just doesn’t work consistently. Constant freezing and error messages about disk space or inability to load files. The most frustrating app that I have ever used.
Not bad, but not for me
This is not a bad app. It is able to do what it is supposed to do, and is very easy to use, but I am more so looking for advanced voice changing effects. The ones this app offers, it is easy to tell that my voice has been edited. Compared to a video editor such as CapCut, the voice generators are AI, and the effects sound like a completely different person. But this was still worth checking out.
Hi
Really powerful and very good project
Why I Got Too Angry Here
It Refuses To Let Me In The Pitch Speed Profile And Says Unable To Connect Apple Device Please Check Your Connection And I Got So Mad I Stormed Off And Blamed You Guys For This.
Features Request
Please add filter curve in Which we can boost the bass and the trebble of our audio or cut the bass and trebble as our preferences. Its not only used in music video but it can help to crispy voice effect
what is this???
why do I need to pay 4.99 to use an equaliser???
AU3 version?
This app is so pro and essential. The batch conversion is such a bonus- its like soundforge on your ipad.
Simply for editing samples
I have only used to chop up samples extracted from screen recordings, and im just dumbfounded that it can be this easy to jumpstart creativity with sample uses. I used to bust out the sampler, then the computer… hahah now I can just use this with ipad, and prolly phone even. Cant imagine how much is gained from sales of my data.
Eh
I was just looking for a program that would combine audio files and didn’t ask for crazy privacy permissions. This did the trick. I just wish it supported flac as a free option. Edit: Trial software on some features.
Good, but...
...no files/data stored in my WavePad app, yet iOS showed well over 26GB of “Documents & Data” being hoarded by WavePad. If projects are removed, to reclaim precious storage, please fix the bug that hoards the memory. Thanks, and an otherwise great app
Works but
Monthly sub? No thanks.
It’s good until i had to pay for everything.
So i was just trying to make creature sounds its a really good app but then it kept saying i had to pay now but why, isn’t there a pro? Why did i have to pay for the normal stuff i thought i only needed to pay for the pro not everything
Love
Love
A problem with the wavepad is that it’s missing View and I’m very upset on why it’s not there
There’s a problem and I’m very upset because the view is missing
Good Sometimes
I have been using WavePad throughout Lockdown and found it great but during the last few months have needed to edit less music as I have built up a library of songs to use. However, recently, each time I try to access the app it refuses to open. I go to settings and apple store, trying to access that way with no luck. Eventually it decides to let me open but I have no idea why this continues to happen when I have paid my monthly fee. It is rather frustrating to say the least, particularly if I am in a hurry!
Uhhhhhh
So I got this app, thinking it would be a really good way to make music and other stuff, but it’s super complicated to do, I couldn’t even get my audio to play from the start and the only music app it works with is iTunes which costs money!!!!! I use Spotify and it’s way better than iTunes and this app is just annoying
Good but could be better
Editing a single track is fairly good but if you want to add music into the background of a piece of audio it is so difficult, surely there’s a better way to mix two tracks?
Best audio editor
Easy to use ! Fun practical !
DO NOT GET IF YOU WANT TO PITCH CHANGE
So, I got this DUMB app, then I wanted to change the PITCH. Well guess what? IT’S PRO NOT FREE. That is to dumb. DO NOT get this app please. It is a very very very very DUMB app. Changing the pitch should not be pro. Like…. That will make your app so bad, and garbage. DO NOT RESPOND TO ME “Ohh I’m sorry, But still it will be pro” Or “Sir i’m sorry for the inconvenience, if you are interested to buy the pro, please do” I DON’T CARE OK!? I wish I can give this -5 stars. Not 1 star. Very garbage app. Never using this. Only when making the Crazy Diamond effect. If that Choir thing is pro… THIS DUMB APP WILL BE ON MY WORST AUDIO EDITOR APP IN THE WORLD. I am done. Again, never get this useless dumb app. Only when making Crazy Diamond effect. But still, It is useless, AND Again, you can’t even CHANGE the pitch. So dumb.
It was doing great , but now the app never opens on my iPhone and I don’t know what’s the problem?!
I ungraded the app but it’s still not responding!
Good app but sound quality is bad
The sound quality is really low when i use a Bluetooth speaker, or a other Bluetooth device, when i use my internal speakers or wired headphones, the sound quality is normal, please fix this issue, i like the app but not with this problem.
Saving issue
I can’t manage to save on the app??? Help plesse!
really good
no words, it’s good
File has no audio
Every file I opened it in just a no audio error, I can't imagine why nobody wants to buy this garbage.
Bugs
The app is really amazing, I been using it for an year but now when I use Bluetooth headset, it automatically turns into Ipad speakers audio, I didn't have this before.
Sound Quality
When i use my airpods the sound quality turns in really low quality audio, but when i use my internal speaker the sound is good. But when i use my airpods or a Bluetooth speaker the sound is really low. Fix this! Didnt have this before a few updates
Good but syncing is flawed
This has been handy when I need to edit away from home, however sometimes I’ll be editing a recording and suddenly the audio will not be in sync with the sound waves which makes it impossible to edit. When I’m working from 3 files it means I have to save everything, exit the app, and then reopen all files again, and find the positions I was previously in. Makes it so much more laborious and I don’t know why it keeps happening on any file regardless if I import or record straight onto WavePad.
Lifesaving app
I tried so many apps and websites to edit my audio files for voiceover jobs and nothing compares to this app!!! User friendly, you can find all the features you need, no subscription required which is shocking compared to other non free apps , this has been a great help, can’t recommend this app enough
Tricks you
Tricks you into thinking that it’s mostly free, then hits you with a paywall when your used to the app. Would’ve just preferred if they were upfront about it and didn’t waste my time.
iPad
Takes adjusting to this programme without a mouse.The stop on the transporter takes you back to the start....must use pause. Still prefer using on my Dell computer because of the mouse and screen size. Excellent software for editing music tracks
This app isn't worth it.
This app isn't worth it, it's so limited, and even simple things have to be paid as.. Plus it's very laggy, so why even pay for it?
Just started as a NEWBEE
So far so good........you’ve just got to try/repeat/learn
👌🏾👍🏾
Don’t fully know how to work it since I’m new at creating with sounds but it gets the job done so I can’t complain
Your not good enough to be subscription based
The app is not that great to be a subscription based model. Absolutely dumb. Was great when some features were free but continually limiting old existing customer.
WavePad
I am an old user of WavePad and the efforts of NCH software are highly commendable for giving several best and innovative apps. However, it appears that the IPad app is yet to be optimised for new iPad models, sooner they do it better. Also it is not clear if buying full features in final purchase or subscription is to be paid additionally.
What's happened
What's happened to ur app ? It was very good.. after i phone update everything became bad even clean the noise and when i press amplify it's close the app and when i back evrey edit was gone and when i press any folder from up like open or new or save i cant press anything else You must do something you were the best guys
[Update] Import and Export from files
This is my updated review. Thank you for listening and allowing us to import music much freely. I really appreciate the effort you are making. I am using wavepad for more than a decade now and no other software on the desktop I touch, when it comes for basic to advance audio editing. However I still miss very important feature that I use on desktop everyday. I request you to please add “trim silence” option where I can strip silence based upon the audio level. Also, please allow us to export audio file on at least OneDrive / google drive. Or just allow us to copy it on other application. [OLD REVIEW] We can’t import audio files other than itunes. At least allow files app to browse for import. You can allow export to local file as well, otherwise there is no point of purchasing this app. If you wish to remove these restrictions in the future I will surely buy on that day. I find editing on desktop more useful, if not convenient everytime.
Simply Perfect
A user friendly software with awesome capabilities. The price I agreed to spend is minimal for such a tool. Thank you
Not Saving To Other Apps
This Is Very Stupid Because It’s Saying That I Need To Save Before I Can Share But Every Time This Happens It Will Say Saving Failed. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG
Repetitie-app
Kan een outing opnemen opslaan en afspelen: heerlijk voor koorrepetitie
WhatsApp option
Dear Team It about WavePad: it’s no possible to name of the recorded track and to export it, whatsApp option is missing. Somme time WavePad hangs alinea.
Bug with Echo effect
I have tried adding echo effect to the recording but the app freezes (and I have to force it close). I tried separately purchasing the echo effect but it still didn’t work. Money down the drain. Please correct this bug
