“Acapella” App
A fun app to use if you want to make your own music from combined videos of you singing. Check out this one that I made. You’re supposed to use headphones but for some reason it wouldn’t record my voice on my phone when my headphones were plugged in, and as a result the sound is a bit muffled, but this video that I made should give you a rough idea about how it works.
