Crashes
Won't complete the library analysis step as the app keep crashing. Seems like an interesting concept but until that's fixed I won't be using it.
Love it
HABU works great at what it's for, organizing music according to mood. It would be an improvement if there were a search function so that I could quickly find out what category a specific song was placed in.
Wider Music Apps
Could make it so you could sync Habu to your Spotify playlist!!
Good but not great
I've been looking for an app that will create playlists from my music for a while now. This one works pretty well although I wish there was more control over how you create the playlists. For example, I wish you could pick genres instead of just using moods. (I assume a mood is just based on the bpm). Perhaps if they connected with soundcloud they can get genre details. Or at least thats what my old favorite app Groove used to do.

Great idea works pretty well. Just a few things...
I like this software I use it most days asa I go to and from work to match my mood. With 4500 songs on my phone its invaluable. There are only a few problems. It does not analyze songs in the background. You have to leave your phone open and the app up front to get the analysis done. Next song titles and lyrics are not part of the dark/positive analysis. So new are songs with dark lyrics and cruel titles end up in categories like soulful groove or romantic. The beat can be deceiving. I wish they would team up with a content analysis company and make the ratings better. Lastly and this is the most frustrating thing. there is no matching Mac Application that can help manage the playback of the 119+ GB of music on my mac. I would love to sit in my office and be able to pull the full range of music from my system based on my mood or the work I’m trying to accomplish. Imagine being able to designate a mood based playlist or two for transfer to the phone or iPad. (I run this on both.) Great Work. I would gladly ship you a few dollars for a mac version.

Brilliant
Love this app... It is really clever and is a great way to experience and rediscover a large music collection according to mood.
The only thing I would change is the 'look'... It is really ugly and the app icon is a mess.
Also it is a real pain I have never been able to explore playlist options as it says they only work when music analysis is complete... And it never is because as soon as it ends it starts again... And it will only run in background for 10 mins after leaving app. I appreciate it needs to update but I'd rather it asked before it did this.

Meh.
Used it once more or less successfully then it kept crashing trying to analyze music. If they can fix that bug this would be a fantastic app
This app is almost dead.
You can't export your playlist to iTunes or the music app.
The 25 moods is too few for my taste but 100 masses the dots extremely hard to navigate on an iPhone 6 plus.
The like songs feature only is there to sell music on iTunes. Why can't I chose related songs in my library?
It's not a bad app, but never evolved. It has iTunes Match support which is fantastic. The moods are mostly accurate (is only referencing a database so there are a few, huh? Mood songs). This is probably the best app I've been able to find like this but far from perfect.

Stuck in analysis
Will take ages to analyse songs and reanalyse with every start. Second pass analysis will hang until it finally crashes (ie simply closes). So I have not been able to actually use the app at all...
Will rate again if the bugs are fixed and setting/functionality are improved (have a menu option to analyse music, only analyse music added...)

Great music app
This app is better than Apple's genius and many of the other genre band auto playlist generators out there. Might take a long time to analyze large music libraries, but it's worth the wait. I started to use this app for workout music.
