Great potential one major issue
Our coaching staff used this app all season. Few bugs like sometimes we’d have to press play multiple times or it wouldn’t let us scrub through the time line to just to a certain point in our music. No biggie.
The major issue we ran into was the tempo feature. It’s a great idea to have the option to slow the mix down or speed it up. However the time of the mix is not accurate when using the tempo feature.
At our state competition we are aloud to have 1:30 of music. We believed that because we sped the mix up with the tempo feature, that we were within that 1:30. The time on the app said it was within the limit however that was not the case. The timer was actually off by 6 whole seconds and we lost states due to a music violation.
When we played the music on the app after we lost we held a normal timer next to it and the app had slightly longer seconds which over time led to the mix being 6 seconds too long.
I do like this app and I want to keep using it but just know that you cannot rely on the timer in the app for an accurate reflection of how long your mix actually is.
With any other music player app this would not be a big deal however with cheer specifically, the length of the music and an accurate timer is crucial. 6 seconds cost us what would have been our 6th state title. :(
