BandLab recognized for helping musicians record and mix tracks with a global community
SINGAPORE; 19 NOVEMBER 2025 — BandLab, the world’s leading social music creation platform used by millions of artists around the world, has been named as one of three finalists for Apple’s 2025 iPhone App of the Year. Selected as one of 45 apps that represent the year’s best in technical innovation, user experience, and design, BandLab was recognized for its role in making mobile music creation and collaboration intuitive and accessible for everyone.
Apple said it chose BandLab for “helping musicians record and mix tracks with a community,” highlighting the platform’s strength as both a creative toolkit and a global space where artists come together to connect, collaborate, and grow. As today’s go-to creative home for emerging creators and chart-topping artists alike, BandLab gives everyone an easy way to make and share music from the device they already use every day.
“Being recognized by Apple is an incredible honor for the team and the creators who make BandLab what it is,” said Meng Ru Kuok, CEO & Co-founder of BandLab. “BandLab was built on a simple belief: when you give people the right tools, they make extraordinary things. Our mission has always been to empower creators everywhere, and being included as a finalist is a huge moment for everyone who has ever picked up their phone, opened BandLab, and pressed record.”
Reaching more than 100 million users, BandLab continues to expand its global creator community and build new tools that raise the bar for mobile music-making. This recognition reflects BandLab’s commitment to delivering experiences that improve the way people create, collaborate, and stay connected to the communities that inspire them.
The winners of the 2025 App Store Awards will be announced later this year.
