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.

First off, I really enjoy this app. I find that the “training” for the song has already great improved my pitch and range throughout one hour of using it, and the ability to adjust the pitch of the song has helped me move from thinking I was Alto to realizing I was a Mezzo! However, the app does have some drawbacks. First, the obvious problem with the fact that it appears to be free until after you’ve given it your voice. In my opinion, that’s a little shady, as it’s having people give their voice to an AI without telling them that the actual point of the app is paywalled. Second, there isn’t an option for a full song, which is frustrating at best. I like the fact that it’s just a smaller section until I have the time/want to sing the entire song, which the app doesn’t allow. I wish this would change so you can choose a clip or full-song. Lastly, the lack of variety in songs was disappointing. I was really hoping for musicals to be included, only to find only one song from highschool musical… I hope they greatly expand their library, and maybe they should even give you the option to upload a song of your choice (as long as it doesn’t affect any copyright issues). I mean, they didn’t even have any Beyoncé songs. :( Overall, I really enjoy the app, and I’m hoping it works on its transparency, library, and choices when it comes to the length of the song! 😊

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.
