My picks for Best Music Apps on smart phone in 2023. There are definitely others that would contend with my top 5 but these were apps I really felt I could make music creatively as close to the same way that I would create at home with my main desktop set up. Let me know the apps I should have included in the comments (always looking to learn as much as I can!)

Time stamps:

00:00 Introduction
00:47 Bandlab (Free and available on iOS and Android)
05:33 Garageband (Free with iOS, no Android version for obvious reasons)
10:41 Koala Sampler (BEST VALUE €4.99, cross platform)
15:45 Flip Sampler (Most feature rich, €9.99, cross platform)
19:35 Ableton’s Note (Feature rich, amazing extension for Ableton users, €6.99 only iOS for now)
