### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-01-18, version 1.11*

Don't waste your money

### 1/5 — No sound

*2016-07-25*

Can't get a sound out of it and doesn't even look that good sorry. Better luck next time.

### 1/5 — Non va

*2015-08-17, version 1.3*

Carina l'idea per chi come me è un nostalgico ma sul mio mini 2 non va...

### 1/5 — Only plays the first song!

*2015-06-08*

It worked well, playing the first song but when I wanted to play another song, it played the first one again.  The cassette displays the name of the next song but plays the first one again!

### 5/5 — Retro Cassette

*2014-01-02, version 1.2*

I like this app.  It's like having a shoebox style table top cassette player/recorder without any moving parts!   The turning supply and take up spindle give it a nice retro effect.  If you do an update, could you animate the actual tape movement.  It would neat if the tape movement would move according to how much is left of each song. A pause symbol on the play button would top off the "cassette button look"
. The ability to load all of the playlist at once would simplify loading song, instead of loading one at a time.  Other than that I love this totally simple app.  80's rule! :)

### 5/5 — Bella!!!

*2013-07-06, version 1.1*

Per me che sono un nostalgico degli anni 80 è già bella così com'è,se poi avesse avuto i pulsanti fatti come nei lettori originali(compreso quello arancione o rosso di registrazione)e non così moderni sarebbe stata ancora più bella.A voler essere pignoli ci voleva il contatore rotativo ma adesso sto chiedendo troppo!!! :-D
5 stelle in qualunque caso.
