Moises: The Musician's App 4+

Really enjoying Moises

I play electric bass guitar and I’ve found Moises very helpful for learning songs by isolating the bass track so I can make out each individual note. I also use the function that allows me to slow down the song to play along with, until I can play it at tempo. I download into the Moises app the purchased songs (from Apple Music) that I’m working on - it’s always been a smooth process and never had a problem yet over the six months I’ve been using the app. I often use it in conjunction with my Fender Micro Mustang headphone amp, which has Bluetooth and can connect with the phone or computer. I also have begun using the loop function to work on specific parts of songs, which I often do on the desktop version of the app (easier to navigate with a bigger screen). Finally, I’ve started using the app to help me organize into playlists the recordings I’ve made (using the voice memo app and uploading into Moises) during my bass lessons (recordings of my teacher for etudes I’m working on) or recordings of original music I’ve made with my band, so that I can play along with the recordings. I really like Moises, it’s a great practice tool for me and works well.

Better than then anything else I could find so far

This app has been great. I’m a beginner so I’m mostly just flailing on my drums to songs I know and it’s perfect so far. Only reason for not having 5 stars is it crashes unbelievably often and there’s just simple quality-of-life improvements that would make this so much better. I have almost 20,000 songs to sort through and it would make a tremendous difference if I could sort through my library bands, it would also minimize load times. Another huge addition would be the ability to que songs from the list and stay on the same page instead of being forced to go to the App Library every time you download a song. For the crashing situation, I’m on an iPhone 12 Pro Max, nothing else running in the background, full power cycle and ran with and without wi-fi.

Edit-changed my review to a 5-star. For the first time in my life this app changed in the exact manner that I was hoping for! Cheers to the developers for listening to consumers!

Hi. Thanks for the feedback!

Awful, Frustrating App

This app is a huge fail. I have a large Apple Music/iTunes library and of the thousands of songs, only three show up as available to transfer to Moises. I've given this app over 24 hours to sync up, and even though my iOS version and this app's latest version are up-to-date, it still doesn't work. The ironic thing is that I have to wait another 24 hours until the payment is processed before I can even request a refund. I wish iTunes would eliminate junk like this from the store so that people don't have to waste their time. Lastly, I went to the homepage of the developer's website and that was requiring me to sign in with one of my email identities to even put in a troubleshooting ticket. If a company cannot make a stable app, why would I trust it with my login credentials?
Update, the developer contacted me. To be clear, I am only trying to use Moises with songs I have purchased from iTunes. I am not trying to use Moises with Apple Music streaming or the subscription service. Moises is still not recognizing songs I have purchased. I appreciate that they reached out and genuinely want to try to solve these kinds of problems. But again I am spending a lot of time trying to make something work so this is not a fit.

Hello! Thank you for contacting us. The iTunes App can be a little tricky sometimes, and depending on how iTunes stores the files, it may take some more time to gather it all. Please make sure you have purchased the songs from iTunes and are not using Apple Music. Moises cannot process songs from streaming services. For a more in-depth look into this, I encourage you to get in touch with our support team at https://help.moises.ai - they will assist in troubleshooting the syncing and make sure you're taken care of regarding the payment and refund process. Your satisfaction and data security are our top priorities.
