## GarageBand Description
GarageBand turns your iPad, and iPhone into a collection of Touch Instruments and a full-featured recording studio — so you can make music anywhere you go. And with Live Loops, it makes it easy for anyone to have fun creating music like a DJ.

Use the Sound Library to download additional free instruments, loops, and sound packs created by some of the biggest producers in the world. And then share your song with friends and family.

## GarageBand Reviews in United States

### *---- "Bad"
They made me pay. It didn’t give me that thing that I paid for so I want my money back.
-- yoewo, 2024-12-31

### ***** "Needs an update"
iOS 18.0 disabled most of the Apple Loops and half of the sound pack instruments. Need a fix fast, other than that it’s been a great experience
-- 2BraidzMuzic, 2024-12-30

### ***-- "not happy with the vocals pack."
I was trying to make a Christian/Gosple track with the vocals(I was trying to recreate an Ane Wilson song), but they were all secular. Maybe make more of them with Christian artists like 116, God Over Money, Hillsong, and Capital Kings. PLEASE improve the Vocals pack with this! (P.S., please read this! I feel like ur ignoring me :( )
-- Dogs with Sandwiches, 2024-12-30

### ***** "Great"
The app has given me no troubles and has helped me a lot in 2 years
-- Boo jounes, 2024-12-30

### ****- "Issues"
Would be nice if I could sidechain thanks
-- Zone Lero, 2024-12-30

### ***-- "What happened?"
I’ve been using GarageBand for 4 years now, but now with the recent updates it doesn’t seem to like when I use plugins for sound fonts.

Every time I use them it sounds glitchy and exporting an audio file with the plugin leads to a rendering error that messes with the note placement. Basically everything sounds wonky and out of place now.

Please fix this.
-- Dissatisfied Cartoonist, 2024-12-30

### ***** "This is  the jam!"
I did the piano andIs the best👌🏾🥴👍🏾 🎹
-- Ok?!?Sim, 2024-12-30

### *---- "Gonorrhea 😊"
I am taking this as terrible. I am 98 years old. I am dyslexic. I have autism. I have polio. I have black plague. I have yellow fever. I have bird fever. I have gonorrhea, diarrhea pneumonia, a cold, a fever and the flu. Also, I have AIDS STDs. And HIV I have no grandkids because the first person I made love to died of pneumonia and AIDS from me 😊 and I came on here to play band music 😠 but my phone instantly started smelling like fish 😠 as I played the drums and the guitar my phone kept smelling like fish more more more and more! 😠 maybe it was me I just needed to take a shower. 😊 😠 one out of five 😊
-- Meemaw 😊 ⁉️, 2024-12-30

### ***** "GarageBand plz read"
yall this is pretty cool but if you sing into there should be a way to edit your voice that’d be pretty cool also the sounds have been delaying lately so it would be awesome if yall could just fix that
-- I love pandas yall, 2024-12-29

### ***** "I love it"
Cool
-- mbk od,x., 2024-12-29

### *---- "MP3 to GarageBand"
Need a better way to upload mp3s
-- Demibats, 2024-12-28

### ***-- "Good, but some really frustrating issues"
I didn’t import/export anything, but it keeps saying I have sounds missing to songs I made that same day? I’ve never had this issue until recently, but I did download a few new sound packs recently so it could be a space issue? I have no idea
-- Lydian_Lotus, 2024-12-28

### *---- "Bluetooth"
Is there Bluetooth
-- Badgoysback221, 2024-12-28

### ***** "Perfect!!!"
This is a really neat app I feel I can freely let out my love for music on. I have my own piano at home, but I can become an even better pianist, guitarist, and even learn to play foreign instruments on!
-- spongebob novis2431456, 2024-12-28

### ****- "Great with room to improve…"
I enjoy making music on my free time and just passing the time, but some of the older sounds seem very outdated and fake, especially with the woodwinds and brass. Also theres an issue with the blips piano that makes it completely out of sync and sometimes unresponsive. I love the sound but unfortunately, one of my songs can’t be edited because some of the main parts use it and nothing else gets that sound I was looking for.
-- Rbustamovez, 2024-12-28

### *---- "Need Update!!!!"
I’ve preached over years about how GarageBand is the most convenient, reliable source. Lately it’s been crashing repeatedly and not even saving tracks as I go along. Please fix this it’s very inconvenient.
-- Reliable Source !99, 2024-12-28

### ***** "best app"
its great for everything. especially making music.i usually make my ringtones hear and its ALSO really good for thay. i would totally recommend this app for any music starters.
-- SKIBIBIDIDIBI, 2024-12-28

### ***** "Ringtones"
Yall when I tell yu this app is perfect for ringtones it issss// ok Audrey out xx⭐️🛍️
-- Audrey xox0, 2024-12-28

### **--- "Outdated not friendly"
It’s 2024 in GarageBand still only recognizes a couple of music formats.  

The people in charge of this product should all be fired
-- ZenTurtle, 2024-12-28

### ***** "GarageBand!"
Been using this software since my middle school days back in 2014. Loved it since. It has helped me get an idea of the process of music production and the workflow is simple yet affective. While I have Logic Pro nowadays, I use this as a sketch pad or idea bank for melodies when I’m away from my computer at home. Definitely recommend GarageBand to anyone who is getting into making music or just writing ideas.
-- TGG.MP3, 2024-12-27
