Gana · Frequently asked questions

Gana, answered plainly.

Answers about pricing, previews, ownership, privacy, languages, and refunds.

The short answer. Gana turns personal stories, original lyrics, and plain-language ideas into original songs on iPhone. The first 30-second concept is free on your device with no account; full songs use credits purchased through Apple, with the exact price shown before you buy. Songs are private by default and shared only by an unlisted, revocable link.

Fourteen questions, answered from documented behaviour

What is Gana?

Gana is an iPhone app that turns personal stories, original lyrics, and plain-language ideas into original songs. You describe the song in ordinary language, direct the genre, voice, energy, and arrangement as far as you want, and hear a private 30-second concept before deciding to create the full performance.

How much does Gana cost?

Your first preview is free on your device, with no account required. Five credits create one full song. Weekly provides 75 credits every seven days (up to 15 songs), while Annual provides 300 credits every month during the annual term (up to 60 songs); allowances do not roll over, and exact localized pricing and renewal terms are always shown in the app before you buy.

Do I need an account to try Gana?

No. The first private 30-second concept is free on your device with no account. Gana asks you to sign in with Apple only when ownership or purchase requires an identity — creating the full song, keeping a library, or restoring purchases on another device.

Can I hear my song before I pay?

Yes — that is the entire design. Your brief becomes a private, replayable 30-second concept first, so you judge the story, style, and energy with your own ears before any purchase decision. Nothing is bought on a description alone.

Why is the full song different from the 30-second preview?

Because generative models compose fresh on every run, the full performance is created separately from the same confirmed brief rather than stretched out of the preview audio. The story, style, and names carry over; melody, vocal, timing, and arrangement can vary. The concept exists to prove the direction before you commit.

How does Gana actually generate a song?

Your confirmed brief is processed on Gana’s backend and performed by Google’s Gemini and Lyria models, with the transfer limited to the minimum content the song needs. The output is synthesized fresh from your written direction, not assembled from stored fragments of existing recordings. The privacy policy documents exactly what is sent and what is kept.

Who owns a generated song, and can I use it commercially?

You keep whatever rights you already have in the text you submit. A purchase unlocks the product features shown at checkout — such as the full render, MP3 export, and hosted sharing — but it does not by itself guarantee copyright, exclusivity, or a commercial-use license, because the law on AI-generated music remains unsettled and provider terms can change. Until rights are expressly confirmed, use generated songs personally and do not rely on them for monetized or client work.

Are my ideas, stories, and lyrics private?

Yes, by default. If you are not signed in and do not use a clearly named generation action, your input stays on your device; generation sends the minimum content the song needs, and concepts belong to your draft, never a public feed. Gana shows no ads, uses no third-party ad trackers, and never sells your data.

Can Gana sing in languages other than English?

Yes — the lyric language is part of the brief. The six public recordings include songs in English, a bachata sung in Spanish, and a Hindi-English wedding floor-filler, and mixing languages deliberately — Hindi verses with an English chorus, for example — is a directable choice.

Can Gana imitate a famous artist or copy an existing song?

No — Gana declines both requests by design. Instead, describe the attributes you love: the warmth of the vocal, the space in the drums, the era of the guitar sound. The model works from musical language and performs an original song with those traits.

How does sharing a song work?

Finished songs live in your library and travel only by a share link you deliberately create. The link is unlisted rather than access-controlled — anyone with it can listen or forward it until you revoke it — and revoking is always yours to do. Nothing you make is posted publicly by default.

Can I download my song as an MP3?

Yes. MP3 export comes with a purchased full render, and files you export to the Files app or another app live outside Gana and stay with you. The preview concept stays replayable inside Gana.

How do refunds work?

All payments go through Apple, so refunds do too: request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. No app can issue Apple refunds itself. If a bug ate credits or a song failed to deliver, email support@trygana.app and we restore the credits directly.

How do I delete my saved concept or my account?

Both live in Gana Settings: Privacy & data → Delete saved concept for the anonymous preview, and Account → Delete account for a signed-in account. Deletion removes account content, contact data, unused consumable credits, and that account’s songs stored inside Gana; Apple billing is separate, so an active subscription is cancelled with Apple. The delete-account guide walks through every step.

About this page: it is written and maintained by the people who make Gana, and every answer restates documented product behaviour from the app, the support page, the privacy policy, or the terms of service — including the account-deletion guide. It contains no invented statistics, reviews, or testimonials, and no prices: exact pricing is always shown in the app before purchase.
