## Hum Reviews in United States

### ***** "5 stars, 1 very happy artist"
I’m a singer-songwriter and this is my favorite app ever. I’ve been using Hum for years (I think I downloaded it in 2014, so maybe even from the start) and I have never had any complaints. It’s simple, well-designed, and effective for capturing new songs on the go. Unlike the default voice memo app, this one has a way to add and edit a title/ lyrics right along with the music. I’ve recorded over 100 memos on it and I’m not stopping! This app has a beautiful and very user friendly UX. I always write music and lyrics together, so the lyrics feature is a huge plus for me. The ability to add keys, tuning, capo #, and color coding and folders is great for reference too. Nearly every feature about the app seems intentional and supportive to artists. 

I’ve even recorded an entire album using just Hum and basic production software (a low-fi EP that was written, recorded, and produced while living abroad in Chile - “songs from Santiago”). I couldn’t be happier with my overall experience. The cherry on top is the Dropbox sync. I’ve been through many models of iPhones and my trusty Hums have always been safe. (Although it’s a good practice to keep an extra backup to be safe.)

Best of all, it’s completely free and I have never seen a single ad, paywall, or pressure to subscribe for more features. Honestly, this is one of the few apps I would pay for if it came to that, just to support the talented, small, creative team that must have designed it. 

Thanks Hum creators and please never ever retire this lovely little app. Thank you for supporting creatives! 💜

### *---- "What does it even do"
The app is just a bloated journal and vocal recorder. There’s an entire page of buttons with musical notes and slides but no function. Every time I try to email the app crashes. I can’t believe I spent $3 on this.
-- Linds73gfys, 2024-08-19

### ***** "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.

-- Salsterghj, 2023-09-08

### *---- "Dropbox 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.
-- Riddimk, 2023-04-03

### **--- "iPad 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.
-- Jesseneuro, 2022-12-16

### *---- "Doesn’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.
-- Lawrence Ough, 2021-12-11

### ***** "Easy 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!
-- Dadchessmeister, 2021-10-01

### **--- "Needs 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!
-- Haunted Rooftop, 2021-04-16

### ***** "Simple and effective"
This is like voice memos, but it adds some basics that are essential for keeping song ideas organized.
-- abe in CT, 2020-12-03

### ***** "A great organized resource for a process that is often disorganized."
For me, songwriting has always been a disorganized process. Different ideas come in different ways; including lyrics that will sit for a year, guitar parts that don’t have any accompanying thoughts, and sometimes full songs that come all at once. This process wasn’t helped by needing to use multiple services to capture ideas in many different places. 

Hum has really helped me localize all of my ideas and processes in one area to be able to see the canvas in whole and work on ideas for as long as inspiration is available. Additionally, seeing ideas along side one another in a list, I can look for thematic elements and work to either eliminate duplication in songs or look for areas to combine ideas. 

Within minutes of using Hum, I knew it where it would add simplicity to my process. That simplicity helps me utilize tools in the most efficient process so I can get out of my own way when I’m feeling inspired.
-- CBennettMN, 2020-11-03

### **--- "files lost"
great except for when it won’t play my old files—a lot of them have been lost. the file is still there, but when I try to hit play, nothing was saved.
-- jonasfan779, 2020-08-07

### ***** "I haven’t ever rated an app, but..."
I have never rated an app just due to laziness i guess.. lol BUT i was moved to rate Hum. I have tried ALL songwriting apps and I just keep coming back to Hum! I will say i have only had one issue since 2015 when i got it first. That was just recently when it started shutting down after a few minutes. 

I emailed support and the short time it took for them to respond and fix my issue, i had to use another app for my ideas. I swear it felt like a fish out of water. Hum is my comfort zone! It was very odd feeling of something not right. It really cramped my creativity! I just love everything about it and how easy it is to just get what you need out of it. I will say i have a deep southern drawl and most speech recognition deals cant understand but Hum is the best at quickly figuring it out.

Just thought i needed to let them know. Thanks for a great app!

### ****- "Game-changer"
Hum has been an amazing tool and it’s totally changed my songwriting. I’ve used it for many years and absolutely love it.

Only problem is that it keeps crashing recently...not sure what’s going on but it usually crashes upon opening the first time. Sometimes it starts working fine the second time, but not always :/
-- Rarara 4, 2020-02-25

### ***-- "A little bummed"
I paid for this app right away based on a youtuber’s review. It’s easy to use which is great Buuut when I did a test Email I saw that only Lyrics were sent, the Song Writer app sends lyrics and audio (free app). Also, I wish this had lines so I can write out tabs,(if other apps can do tab so can you:) other ideas requests: Can take photos of the ideas I had already written in a journal (then I would get to fixing things later) ummm and Apple Pencil/OCR capability 😄 ... I can change rating when the emailing audio issue is fixed
-- big nose picker, 2019-07-13

### ***** "Hum is a total game changer"
Guys if you are a songwriter you need this app, seriously. I can’t imagine where I’d be with my songs if I had this app years ago. ALL OF YOUR SONG IDEAS EASILY ORGANIZED IN ONE PLACE. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. No hassle, very intuitive. I make a folder for each song I’m working on and then record my song ideas into that specific folder, and it makes it extremely easy to name your recording and write notes or lyrics with it. No more searching for your ideas in a giant list mostly unnamed recordings. You literally never have to loose or misplace a song idea again with this app. Come on, 3 bucks just get it! So worth it, it will make your life so much easier
-- Michaelkennedymusic, 2019-05-07

### ***** "Super sicc"
This app is fantastic, 

I’ve used it for years now and I recommend it to all of my friends that write music. 

Thank you to the creators!
-- ZackSouth, 2019-02-28

### *---- "Waste of money"
I’m a professional songwriter. Was hoping this was great, but it lacks and does NOT imports audio files.
-- DoodleJam, 2019-02-05

### ***-- "So bummed"
I too have been faithfully using this app for many years, but now my files are suddenly disappearing without a trace. It’s beyond frustrating, but I have hope. Devs please help ASAP, so we don’t have to move on. Save HUM! ✌️❤️
-- Sam Means, 2019-01-06

### *---- "NO support response"
I have emailed support to no avail.  The sole desire in using HUM , lies in the functionality of importing a music file and recording over it.
-- yoli j, 2018-12-09

### ***** "LOVE IT!!"
I’ve tried a lot of apps. This one is by far the best. So easy to use and I don’t have to think... open, hit record, and write.  Thanks Hum!!!!
