1. StarMaker, the best application for singing and recording
When looking for apps for singing, StarMaker appears on everyone’s lips. And if you want to feel like a true singing star, this is the application you need. Because it is not a simple karaoke app.
You will find a catalog with songs (and great songs) that you can sing. Once you have completed the recording, you can fix those bugs or glitches with simple post-production. You can add effects, edit your voice and share it with whoever you want without feeling embarrassed.
It is very fun and we recommend it to spend a good afternoon with friends. Among its features, we find:
- Special effects of all kinds.
- Full-screen immersion experience —this is great if we use the app with the tablet or iPad.
- “Hook” function that allows you to record only some parts of the song, in case you only want the chorus.
- Possibility of being part of a community of professional and amateur singers and thus finding new friends in the world.
- Personalized recommendations according to your tastes.
And what topics are you going to find? Well, from those of Ed Sheeran to those of Justin Bieber, passing through Drake, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars or Maroon 5, among many others.
2. Smule Sing, perfect for singing with celebrities
The Smule Sing Karaoke app is one of the best in the music sector and one of the favourites of users with singing skills. This application not only focuses on voice but also allows you to work on video and social networks. Among its main functions, we find the following:
- Automatic voice enhancement – you will sound like the stars thanks to special filters.
- Voice and video recording at the same time: you can create your own video clips.
- Recordings in pairs or trios.
- Community of users to follow, have them follow you and share your recordings.
- Allows you to sing with famous people. Imagine all the possibilities!
- If what you were looking for was one of those applications that famous people used in their beginnings, this is yours. Like StarMaker, you choose the song, sing it and use the app to correct your voice and become the star of the moment.
For now, it is only available on the Android and iOS operating systems, but if you are interested in having Smule on your PC, take a look at the best app to use Android apps on your computer Bluestacks.
Some of its most popular artists are: Sam Smith, Meghan Trainor, Nicki Minaj, Jason Mraz, One Direction or Imagine Dragons. Below we leave you the links to download Smule Sing.
3. ACapella by PicPlayPost
ACapella is an application for singing a cappella (as its name suggests) from the same creators as the video-gathering app PicPlayPost. The Android version still has too many bugs, so for now we recommend it more for iOS users. In any case, we leave you the link, since they improve it from time to time.
Unlike other applications of the style, ACapella relies on the voice as is, without instruments or music. That is, it tests you 100%, although it also has a small trap. Its features allow you to edit your voice afterwards so that your videos are much more harmonious and rhythmic.
You will become part of a community of fans, which will allow you to meet people, improve, perfect yourself as an artist and receive feedback on your works. You will have a metronome, you will be able to share videos in real-time (if you dare), customize your watermark (so that no one steals your video or voice) and share them on social networks.
4. Kanto: Sing, record and share
Do you want to meet people from different parts of the world with the same passion for music as you? Kanto can help you very easily since you can participate in the ranking of the best singers. As? You just have to choose your favourite song, record it and share it. You will be able to stand out in the app’s own channel!
In addition, it allows you to sing in several voices thanks to duets, choosing the corresponding song from the library. Of course, this library does not (yet) have all the styles, so we will have to wait to see if the available options are expanded in the future.
For the rest, it is an alternative with good sound quality and an elegant and easy-to-use interface, available on both Android and iOS. It is free to download, although a subscription is required to access the entire library. You can get the monthly one for $6.49 or, if you’re up for the annual one, for $24.99.

The best thing, apart from the fact that it is one of the best free applications, is that it is very intuitive and does not require us to know about sheet music or have prior musical education.
