Simply Sing takes the opposite approach to the exercise-first trainers on this list: you learn by singing songs. The app identifies your voice type, then moves each song into a key that suits your range, so beginners are not left straining for notes written for someone else. As you sing, it gives feedback and tells you when to hold a note and when to breathe. Easy songs come first, and harder ones open up as you level up, with daily tips along the way. Scrolling lyrics and optional guide vocals make it feel closer to karaoke than a lesson. It is very popular, with 4.7 stars from 476K ratings on the US App Store, and Apple has named it an Editors' Choice. The tradeoff is depth: there is less structured work on breathing, registers and ear training than in Sing Sharp or Erol Singer's Studio. The App Store lists many Premium prices without saying which plan each one is.
Who it is for
Beginners who would rather learn by singing popular songs than by drilling scales.
