### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-11-20*

All I get is a picture of the cassette.

**Developer response:** The songs must be stored in your music library. Songs from "Apple Music" or "iCloud Music Library" are not loaded.

### 1/5 — 不能用，

*2021-06-08*

简直就是一个摆设，音乐播放按钮没反应，歌曲也无法添加，出了可以换磁带图片，其余的啥都干不了，开发软件的就是个白痴……

**Developer response:** 也许您正在使用不受支持的 Apple Music ......该应用程序仅读取存储在 iPhone 库中的歌曲，而不是 Apple Music

### 2/5 — No Apple Music support

*2021-02-12, version 1.11*

Though the app asks permission to access Apple Music, it doesn’t go there. Opens iTunes store instead. Worthless if you need to play Apple Music songs.
Please add Apple Music support.

### 1/5 — Não abre

*2020-10-22*

Não abre

### 1/5 — Не работает.

*2020-08-17*

У меня не работает. Кнопка входа в меню не реагирует.

### 3/5 — A good player in the makings...

*2020-06-27*

I’ve been looking for a cassette tape media player and after trying quite a few and this is the one I’ve been looking for. There are some downsides though...

1. I have to keep re-adding my music every time I close out of the app.

2. I wish there was a more efficient way to go through your music library rather than just hitting the next song button. (Maybe like a cassette tape library menu that shows the bands name and/or albums?)

3. Once I add my music I can’t go back to the music library in case I forgot something...

4. The buttons at the bottom of the player are off the screen a little bit.

5. Maybe some cassette tape sounds? Like just for ambience or nostalgia... 

It’s just such a good app and totally has the potential.

### 3/5 — ошибочка вышла

*2020-03-03, version 1.11*

приложение в целом нравится, но послушать музыку через него не удалось :(
думал что будет работать с apple music а оно работает с iTunes store

### 1/5 — 垃圾

*2020-02-22*

垃圾骗钱

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2020-01-25*

Will not load my music library. Waste of money even for .99

### 1/5 — What is this

*2015-08-21*

It loads songs fine, but no audio. I tried using headphones also. Last review was in 2013…does this need an update?
