Undeniably fun music experience, but may be iffy for kids.

What’s It About?
In Talk Mode, simply tap on the \"Tap To Rap\" icon and start talking, then press stop and play your rap, which has been altered by the app to match the beats of a song. In Rap Mode, rap to real songs as lyrics scroll across the screen. Songs can be shared via email, Facebook, or Twitter.
Is It Any Good?
It can be really fun to hear AutoRap morph your spoken words into a rap. There's no doubt that kids and teens who like rap will love this app, for the first few tries at least -- until earning or purchasing "plays" becomes a necessity if they want to expand their repertoire.
Add to that the dilemma of how to keep it clean enough for kids to enjoy the full karaoke-style features and avoid the iffy song lyrics, as well as the purchases and ad offers, and this free app may just be good for a few fun tries, not to keep on your device long-term.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
