Reviews of the Craic

Doesn’t cover Concertinas!

Good over all, but does not cover concertinas, especially CG Anglo Concertinas!

Err

App does import complete abc collection files properly. Not all abc tunes get imported.

Unique and Indispensable, with some glitches

Must have for anyone with more than a handful of tunes, and a great help when learning them - particularly for the musically challenged like myself. There’s nothing else quite like it on i(Pad)OS, and the latest version finally supports collections.
Would love to give 5 Stars but there are some nags:
- setting markers when selecting parts/bars for playback is unintuitive and capricious
- selections that start with pick-up notes don’t loop properly (there’s a short pause that messes up timing). Please fix!!
- multiply editing and saving a tune can create multiple copies
- GUI could be a bit more intuitive/standard in some places, although it by and large works really well.
