Comments on WavePad Audio Editor for Android

★★★★☆ Vanlalngaia (Mangaia) · Jan 23, 2026

It cannot save in Micro SD card and other phone storage; it can save in Music folder of the phone storage.

★★★★★ सायिलक्ष्मण · Mar 12, 2026

It represents waveform wrongly: some louder peaks shown as quiter (smaller amplitudes), while the quiter ones actually look louder. (I understood by openins same audio in other editor). Also, a bit inconvenient in horizontal mode on phone cause all buttons and tabs are huge while waveform is so narrow, it is hardly seen. But 5 stars for serious app with many free/trial options.

★★★★☆ LaurieK 37 · Dec 31, 2025

Tried multiple apps and this one provides best editing options.

★★★★★ T-Major The Object Thingy · Apr 26, 2026

Add Super Duper Low Pitched Audio And Super Duper High Pitched Audio.

★☆☆☆☆ James A.L.M · Jan 2, 2026

Can't save files. Paid to use features and audio won't save. I just got robbed by this app😭😭

★☆☆☆☆ Me Mu · Mar 24, 2026

Paid to unlock all on the mobile app and still shows free version. 🤦‍♂️ any support help would be nice

★☆☆☆☆ Kaiden Courtney · Mar 20, 2026

This app is useless. It doesn't even work. When you try to save a file like any file it gives an error and doesn't save. It has all the stupid permissions it can get, and it just doesn't save. Don't waste your time on this stupid useless app
