WavePad Audio Editor

Geoff Grimwood

Good but BEWARE - on some phones (OnePlus 6, Samsung Galaxy s10 confirmed, probably others) if you lock the screen while recording, the app will keep rolling but NOT CAPTURE ANY SOUND after a few seconds. So you'll end up with a .wav with sound at the beginning and end but pure silence throughout the middle. I didn't know this so I didn't warn my kid, so he did a whole video shoot and lost 99% of the audio from one of his two actors, since her audio was going into a lav plugged into her s10. The app seems solid, with great features, decent interface, and solid functionality - but it needs to either keep recording while the screen is off, or warn you that it won't.

I gave this app 3 out of 5 stars because it's excellent, but crashes periodically. Now however I have to drop my review to 1 star. This app now crashes multiple times in one session, leaving me unable to save my work, and losing many recordings. It's almost unuseable, which is really unfortunate because I love using it when it functions correctly. I've tried all i can: not using with na external monitor, restarting both the program and the app, redownloading, clearing cache, but nothing helps

Understand two things 1: this app is fantastic for people who are unsure of and new to the world of audio editing. Specifically for your voice, and it's a great tool for that. 2: it is an incredibly predatory app. You can use all the features for maybe an hour or two, which is about how long it takes to learn it. After that, it starts taking away features you had already started using until you can only use maybe 4 or 5 tools that aren't the record it play buttons. Don't bother buying it.

I'm not the smartest at this, but I had a hard time operating this app. I'd choose a point to start or end, but it would seemingly change by itself. I never really understood the interface even after an hour or so of trying, got frustrated, & uninstalled it. I ended up with AudioLab, which I found easy to operate & does the things I needed. I'm no sound editor, so a free app I can understand is great for me.

there is no settings menu at all. i have the standard (rec/play/pause/skip) buttons on the bottom but thats it. oh and the x to make purchases...but thats it. it doesnt scroll or anything like it does at the top. i tried everything. super bummed too, cause the quality was very noticeably better than all the other apps, and thats before being able to edit. hope i can get this resolved.

Update: This app crashed my computer while updating for this app. The download has been going on for weeks and I cant get on my computer. Thanks I hope you can fix this because this is not okay! Way too many problems. Records automatically making it difficult to trim every single file I create. When you stop recording it always ask if you're sure making for even more trimming on every single file. Did anyone test this product before sending it to the public?

If you're a musician who's done some home recording, you've probably downloaded and used Audacity. It's intuitive, elegantly simple DAW software that, despite it's limitations, does everything you need to get a song tracked, roughly edited, and mixed down. It's also free to utilize 99% of its features to your heart's content for as long as you wish. I know this is for phones, not PCs, but these guys want you to go thru a pay wall just to PAN an effing track. A bit assholish!

Holey Schmoley Batman! This app has the function of an exceptional Windows PC audio editor... in an Android app!!! It took about 8 seconds to figure out the simple finger gestures for selecting parts of the song, after that the giant menu system makes this app easy to use. Looks like at least 50 kool functions. Free version you need to "Save" file because "Save As" only does wav files.

It worked for the short time (15-30 mins) I used it to trim a song to make a ringtone, but the tool dropdown while editing was intrusive and got in the way of effectively selecting the segment I wanted a number of times. Overall the app version is less user friendly than I remember wavepad on pc being. Making a quick edit take longer than necessary. But it did the job I wanted, albeit with effort. Another plus side was no ad intrusion, so theres that?

Not even worth learning one's way around the app. Too many unexpected shut downs plus, it lacks the basic editing capabilities that any music editing app should naturally have in this day and age. If you lock your phone for any reason, don't expect for your work to be there when you go back into the app. Once you leave the app, it won't even have the mp3 in it that you imported into from your phone's library.
