The application that I have chosen to review is Magic Sing Karaoke. My family and I use this application quite frequently as we all enjoying letting the world know how awful our musical voices are, minus our daughter. This application is a requirement to be able to use our Magic Sing Karaoke microphones.
First, I should cover the good things about the current version of the application. I think the amount of songs that you can choose from over 300,000 is sufficient. It seems that they are updated with some pretty popular songs of today's music listeners and even have plenty of ballads from the past. I do like that once you get through the challenges of getting it connected to the television, you can record your performances to help you get better with your song's timing. Lastly, one of my favorite parts of the applications is that I can add songs while others are singing to keep the party going all night long.
There are several things about this application that I would like to see improved. First, the functionality overall is complicated. There is no ability to connect the microphones via Bluetooth to your TV or your application. To connect the microphone, you have to scan a QR code which then allows you to connect. When first downloading the application, it brings up multiple applications in different countries, so finding the one you need can be complicated.
The application should include a son search option by artist, genre, and tempo. Currently, the application is just a matching search feature, top 100, and recommended song. Currently, you have to scroll through all of the 300,000 songs in alphabetical order if you do not know the exact name or artist of the song. I would even suggest that the application have a catalog built-in where the songs are listed by number, and you could enter the number, and the song pops up. I understand a search feature is expensive to build, but having a filter option would help the user select a song quickly. At a minimum, the first one would allow users more and make it more enjoyable to sing vs. spending so much time scrolling through alphabetical order that others cannot join because they don't know songs. If you can make the filtration of songs more user-friendly, people who purchase the application would enjoy the application and equipment more.
Lastly, I would suggest allowing users to have the ability to get voice/lyric assistance. Currently, in the application, certain songs can give voice assistance. If you could provide that option for all songs, it would enhance the user's ability to stay on time with the music. Currently, you have to have a pretty strong understanding of timing and tone to follow the song while it is playing in the application.
