Comments on WavePad Audio Editor for Android

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ Shelley Hicks · Aug 21, 2026

I love it! Voice changing is 😎 cool as cool can get. It is easy to use mimicking windows functioning as far as accessing its functions and capabilities. As I venture deeper into the program of wave pad I will elaborate more on its capabilities, as I do. Cool Beans! Shelley, from Mobe Alabama

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

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

★☆☆☆☆ ryan adrados · Mar 19, 2026

I purchased the lifetime subscription but still could not export to any audio file formats. UPDATE: Same issue until to date.

★★☆☆☆ Silvano Williams · Feb 24, 2026

I have the full desktop version which is great, and recently tried to install the Android version, so I could also work on some files on. My phone. Paid to unlock all features, but the app still says it is the free version, and I can't save any files. Useless and a waste of money for the mobile app.
