App Showcase: Simply Sing

What it does

Simply Sing is a singing training app that aims to make singing accessible and fun for everyone, regardless of skill level. Its core feature is a sophisticated AI that first analyzes a user's unique vocal range and then adapts its entire library of popular songs to match that range. This allows users to sing their favorite tracks comfortably without straining their voice, while receiving real-time feedback on pitch and timing.

Where it shines

Simply Sing's strength lies in its deep commitment to personalization right from the start. The onboarding isn't just a formality; it's a diagnostic tool. The multi-step vocal range test (starting at 02:43) is particularly impressive, asking users to perform various vocal tasks to build an accurate profile. This process culminates in a powerful value-reinforcement moment at 08:39, where the app visually shows it's 'Adapting all songs to your vocal range.' Finally, the main interface (08:52) immediately presents recommended songs, demonstrating that the initial data collection had a clear purpose.

UX highlights

• The app uses a comprehensive onboarding quiz (00:36) to understand user challenges and goals, making the experience feel tailored from the beginning.
• Selecting favorite artists (01:01) is an interactive search-and-add process, which likely leads to more accurate recommendations than just tapping on generic artist bubbles.
• The vocal range test provides clear, simple instructions for each step, guiding the user through tasks like humming their lowest note (03:58) and shouting to find their highest range (04:30).
• Gamification is introduced early with a 'Level 1 unlocked!' screen (08:49) and XP progress bars, creating a clear path for skill development.
• The main song library is well-organized with categories like 'Recommended Songs' and '2010s Top Hits,' making content discovery easy.
• The profile section (10:10) allows for multiple user profiles, a useful feature for families sharing a single subscription.

Monetization & growth

The video shows a soft paywall presented after the user has completed the onboarding and vocal range analysis. At 08:57, the 'Get full access' screen appears, offering two subscription plans: a yearly option with a significant 'SAVE 67%' discount and a monthly option. The value propositions are clearly listed, focusing on the core benefit of songs adjusted to your voice. The user is prompted to subscribe to unlock most of the app's functionality, positioning the initial vocal test as a powerful teaser of the premium experience. There is no free trial offered in the flow shown.

Who it’s for

Simply Sing is clearly designed for aspiring or casual singers who may lack confidence or feel that popular songs are out of their natural range. It's for individuals who want to improve their singing in a private, supportive environment. The inclusion of Disney songs and various pop hits suggests a broad target audience, from young adults to families. The gamified level system also targets users who are motivated by clear goals and a sense of progression.

Notes & opportunities

The app does a fantastic job of demonstrating value before hitting the paywall. However, the vocal test includes a few moments of friction. For example, the app shows error-like messages such as 'We can't hear you clearly' (03:31) or 'It sounds like you might go lower' (04:05), which could be discouraging for already unconfident singers. Framing these as encouraging tips rather than corrections could improve the user's emotional journey. Additionally, the subscription attempt at 09:11 fails with a generic error, which could be a point of churn.
