Music Maker JAM

Just to point out, I’ve been using Music Maker for (about) 1 month at least, and, from my experiences with it, I do believe this is a amazing music app. Currently, as of posting this, while the app itself is great, there is a concern or two that I have to talk about. More particularly, about Bluetooth connection. While you are able to make music on your phone wherever you go, for some reason (at least for me; don’t know if anyone else had this), when I put in the Apple included headphones, I’m able to listen and make music while I have those on, but if I was to connect a Bluetooth headset and use the app, I can’t hear any of the music I’m making nor can I hear anyone else’s songs on the app itself. The other concern, for me, is that when I save or change the name of my music, the “Save” and “Back” options are in a different language. While it’s small, it can be a bit annoying after using the app for a time. But, while these are my concerns, this app, overall, is amazing otherwise. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves to make music!

I have been using this app for years and have loved it! It was one of the best in my book. You only had to pay for sound packs and there were no issues with sharing due to royalties. The sound packs were amazing and mixed very well together. I was able to be very diverse with my creativity and loved the end results. Then recently I lost my phone and all my creations! I was heart broken and gave up on making music for quite some time. Then I got over it and decided to start being creative again. It’s therapeutic for me. When I re-downloaded this app for some reason with my asking to join the monthly plan, I was automatically signed up. Also, most of the sound packs that I used to use and love were gone. Replaced by more expensive ones that lacked the same quality and quantity of past packs. Needless to say I was very disappointed. Plus, there is now a royalty issue which only lets you share on their app. After several attempts trying to contact them, And never getting the generic, standard email saying that someone would get back to me, I gave up and had to contact my credit card company in order to stop being billed. I would suggest that you do not get suckered into their new billing scheme and look to other apps that are free and better. I will no longer be using this app. Be warned and beware.

This app is great for those that aren’t even technically trained but still want to put things together in the musical sense. However, the “beatcoins” are an addition but the only way to get them is through the tutorial once and the rest is to pay out of pocket. There should be an alternative way to earn beatcoins because people like me enjoy the app for free and don’t want to be forced into paying for new content. MMJ does give free packs with the JAM x Artist branch but those are very limited in key changes, etc. Start achievements or something to earn beatcoins! Also, I can see activity on my community page, specifically when people leave comments under my songs but I can not read them for the life of me. Even on Loudly, where it says I have a comment, I click the icon and the message says “It’s so quiet... leave a comment!” like???? somebody already did??? So please fix that. I’ve been off and on with this app since they let you pick any four packs for free with a fresh install, so seeing beatcoins and the small amount you earn from the tutorial versus how much the packs are worth are really immeasurable. I understand that you must make revenue but also be mindful of those that recreationally use this, who don’t spend money to do something they enjoy. Thank you for the app and thank you for listening, user StillSe7en

There is a valid reason I’ve put 3 instead of my original 4 star rating. I’ve been with MMJ since 2015 and I’ve had great experiences. Met a lot of people and listened to a lot of other people’s views and tastes in music. In core, making your very own music. Being able to share your music with others like you is wonderful. This app is cool. However. There are a lot of issues. For instance literally five minutes ago I try and like and comment on someone’s track but I can’t...and the like goes away and so does the comment....then I get an connection to the internet error, when keep in mind, I’m four bars in WiFi 🤔🤦🏾‍♂️...anywho. The trending area is a little weird seeings how if you are a nobody and your not in some type of “crew” your less likely to get your music at the top of the charts. Although listening and giving feedback on others music is KEY‼️ Let’s people know you actually took time to listen to and actually give constructive criticism back. All in all good app but still has a lot of connection issues which I don’t wanna get into details about.

This is one of the greatest music making apps out there. But it could be better. For example, the notes that we can choose to create songs. They have some notes, and I may sound picky, but as a young musician I believe all notes should be on the app. Including f sharp, C sharp, e flat and sharps, etc. I have a feeling more good songs could be produced, and the artists will like that. Secondly, me, and probably many other artists wish we could get beat coins much easier. Packs could get bought easier like that, and all of the packs that you keep making can get used. Some people don’t have the time or the money to buy a certain amount of beat coins. I say for example, a certain amount of beat coins should be given if you get a certain amount of likes or listens. This would make songs more interesting. Other than these minor irritations, I believe this app is great. If you want to contact me, please don’t use my email. You can contact me in the Music Maker Jam community, my name is M I C A H. Thankyou. I hope you will change things.
