Description
GarageBand turns your iPad and iPhone into a collection of Touch Instruments and a fully featured recording studio — so you can make music anywhere you go. And with Live Loops, it makes it easy for anyone to have fun creating music like a DJ. Use Multi-Touch gestures to play keyboards and guitars, and create beats that make you sound like a pro — even if you’ve never played a note before. Plug in a guitar or bass and play through classic amps and stompbox effects. Use a Touch Instrument, microphone or guitar to instantly record a performance, with support for up to 32 tracks. Use the Sound Library to download additional free instruments, loops and sound packs created by some of the biggest producers in the world. And then share your song with friends and family.

Ratings and Reviews
Redownloading
I had no choice but to offload the app, Plus I decided to reinstall it and out of curiosity it is still loading, I may say GarageBand is the only app I would use for downloading my ringtones but why would it take about 14 minutes to download
Mkay so
I actually really like this app, but i'm having an issue right now with this app. i just made a song a few days ago and then it was kinda finished? I was proud of it until the app suddenly crashed. I went back to see what happened and the file is still there, but everytime when i try open it since that incident, i can't! It says that the song file can't be opened and i have to update to the latest garageband version. Which i am in right now! What's going on? There's not even an update.
Needs to update to iOS/iPadOS 18 or later.
I swear, why is Garage Band can only be redownloaded once the devices are on iOS18’s or later? It’s taking me too much storage and I had to delete it. But now it says requires for iOS18 or later?? Have yall ever think about old device users who deleted and wanted to reinstall the app back? Their devices were not supported and they can’t use Garage Band and lost their files.. this is absolutely disappointing.
