When me pirate lads and I had a successful treasure hunt, we have fun at our ship drinking rum and singing all night. Aye! These old salts love singing too. This buccaneer personally loves belting out songs. When I’m in the crow’s nest, I would sing my heart out while I’m eyeing for other pirates that we would take down Davy Jones’ Locker. Ye buckos might think that I only know pirate songs, aye? I can sing even the newest songs, especially when I’m three sheets to the wind! Speaking of singing, in this review, I’ll share with ye me hearties this app called Sing! Karaoke.
It’s Social
Sing! Karaoke by app developer Smule has this basic feature that you would find in other Karaoke apps. It lets you sing songs without the vocals and with the lyrics on the screen that you can follow. However, this app is more than that as it also lets you sing a duet with a friend or other user, or sing in a bigger group. That’s one of the coolest things about it. It’s like having music collaboration without the need to be physically together.
Another thing that makes it different from other karaoke apps is that it has a social feature. You can follow users, as well as comment and love their performance. It also lets you share your song performance on Facebook, which is also a good thing as not everyone has this app. You can listen to the songs played shared by users from around the world and they too can check out yours.
Lots of Exploring
It comes with several options so it’s not your typical karaoke app where you can just select the song and start singing. The buttons are still intuitive though so you would instantly have an idea on what they are for. Since under those buttons are more options, there’s some exploring that you need to do. Don’t fret that it’s not that complicated. We’re just saying that you wouldn’t learn everything with a quick glance and a few taps. However, there’s no doubt that you would still be able to familiarize yourself with the app fast; not just as fast as when using a basic karaoke app. This is understandable as it comes with more features.
Latest Songs
This app is constantly being updated so you’ll get the latest songs on the list. Popular singer Jessie J even recorded her song “Flashlight” on the app and invited everyone for a duet. There are several videos going viral now that made some of them instantly famous. If you’re that good, this might be your chance to be known. However, most of these new songs require a fee if you want to sing them solo. There are not many free songs available so if you don’t want to spend any money for a song, you can sing whatever free song is available or sing in a duet or join a group.
Pros
– songs always updated with the latest
– sing solo or with others
– connect with fellow music lovers
– sing a duet with Jessie J
– vocal enhancement features that make you sound like a pro
Cons
– limited number of free songs
– not much old music that older users may prefer
The Verdict
Sing! Karaoke is a great app for those who are really into singing. Since it’s social, it could serve as a platform for aspiring singers to showcase their talent to the world and be known. While the popular songs usually have fees, it’s still a good app to try. It’s fun, entertaining and it’s social.
