We could even choose to upload to the developer for submission. There are a ton more songs out there…keep adding to the app with midi on as many songs as possible! ### 4/5 — Like and remember *2021-05-20, version 1.6* I like this app brings back memories of be on staff at summer camp and has a camper needs a few new songs in this ### 3/5 — Can't figure out how to hear the tune. Can anyone help me with that? *2020-09-06, version 1.6* Crab someone explain how I can hear the tune please? ### 4/5 — CampSongs are great to planning *2019-02-28, version 1.6* Campfire app is great tool for scouts to plan the campfire but I wish the had a Morning song. To wake people up get them moving. Even in the chow line. ### 4/5 — Needs an update. *2018-10-24, version 1.6* Great app, but needs to be updated to latest iPhone X support. ### 4/5 — Great to have! *2017-12-19, version 1.6* Super useful for Scouts. Several songs say they are sung to the tune of “chant”. Does this mean they are simply chanted? ### 5/5 — YASSSSS *2017-05-19, version 1.6* so pleased with this app!!! ### 5/5 — Cub Master *2016-10-11, version 1.6* Great resource for our Pack ### 3/5 — Doesn't play the tunes. *2016-08-13, version 1.6* Other than that it's a nice collection of songs. ### 4/5 — Great camp songs *2014-07-10, version 1.5* Great selection of camp songs. I wish there was the background music for all the songs! ### 5/5 — Good *2014-06-15, version 1.5* Great please update with better graphics and more songs with tunes ### 5/5 — Awesome songs *2014-06-14, version 1.5* So great even for boy and Girl Scouts. I learned some of these songs at science camp too. So awesome make more ### 4/5 — Love these! *2013-09-11, version 1.5* I love that these cover all kinds of scouting. I wish there were music for each one! ### 3/5 — you need to add *2013-08-17, version 1.5* you need to add [oh you can't go to heaven on a biscuit tin] it is one of the best campfire songs ever ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Songs Do NOT Play *2022-03-09, version 1.6* I downloaded this app so that I could teach these to the youth, except none of the songs play when you press the play button! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t play the tunes *2020-08-29, version 1.6* Could’ve been great, but it doesn’t play the tunes. ### 1/5 — Awful *2012-09-28, version 1.4* Thought it would be full songs but mostly just written lyrics with the odd unknown song performed and recorded in the dark ages ### 1/5 — No Chords? *2012-09-21, version 1.4* This app does me no good whatsoever without guitar chords. Uninstalling. ### 1/5 — Crap *2012-06-28, version 1.4* I can not find the song I like ### 1/5 — Meh *2012-03-24, version 1.3* Tis really bad cos you can't listen to the songs!!! ### 2/5 — Some of the songs are a little inappropriate. *2019-09-06, version 1.6* Some are okay. Just read through them before you introduce them to children. ### 2/5 — Fair, has potential *2016-10-10, version 1.6* This is a collection of the words, not the tunes, of a few of the old camp favorites. If that is all you want, it's OK. What would be useful are the tunes (how does it go) and then obviously a lot more songs then this bare bones collection. ### 2/5 — Lyrics, but little accompaniment *2013-07-10, version 1.5* It was nice to have the words to camp songs, but its worth little if you don't know the beat to it. I don't recommend this unless you need a refresher of the lyrics. ### 2/5 — Too little music *2012-08-04, version 1.4* I found this app disappointing mainly because very few of the songs actually have music to play along. Most of the songs only print the lyrics. Good if you just need a reminder of the words to songs you already know, but not good if you want to learn new songs. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Needs a way to submit songs *2025-01-08, version 1.6* Love the idea for this app, but there should be a way to submit songs for review ### 5/5 — Needs a way to submit songs *2024-06-17* Love the idea for this app, but the here should be a way to submit songs for review ### 5/5 — Great to get songs on the go *2023-04-07, version 1.6* Works great but I do have a Feature suggestion of being able to add own songs that are available on the local device only (ie being able to add songs that are known in the local group but not on a wide scale) ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-08-29, version 1.6* Useful app - great for inspiration around the campfire ### 5/5 — Blanch *2020-04-10, version 1.6* We have had an amazing time with these so far. We are camping outside this weekend during isolation. Great way to get to know campfire songs for scouting. Especially as a leader. ### 5/5 — Fab app *2019-04-23, version 1.6* Love this app, as a Beaver leader it gives us lots of inspiration for songs to sing with the kids 😊 ### 5/5 — Not my favorite app *2018-06-23, version 1.6* It is fine but … ### 5/5 — Thrilled to discover this app! *2017-12-21, version 1.6* What a great idea for an app! I will be sharing this with all of the Girl Scout leaders in our area. Impressed with the number of songs, ability to hear the tune on many, and it looks like the developers are open to improvement. Thanks for this app! ### 5/5 — Nice and clear *2017-11-01, version 1.6* Straightforward app. Hope new songs will be added. Great so far though. ### 5/5 — Great collection *2017-08-05, version 1.6* Perfect way to find songs and easily access --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
