### 5/5 — Simple app, yet it provide a great sound

*2019-12-07*

Although this is a simple app! Its one of the best music player.
I have other music player apps installed in my iPhone, but this app one of the best out there!
I give 5 stars.

### 5/5 — I like it.

*2015-01-20*

It sounds very good to me.

### 5/5 — Worthwhile audio upgrade

*2013-07-11*

Downloaded app as a pig in a poke, but was VERY pleasantly surprised.  Adds limited dsp effect to audio--near (intimate performance), far (chamber performance), or very far (large concert hall).  Seems to adjust L & R channel mix with some slight reverb.  Very smooth; a very non-tiring sound that enhances the audio experience for me.  Choice of earphone, in-ear transducer, headphone, or speaker.  I've used them with B&O earphones (v. 1.0), Etymotic MC4 in-ear phones, and the ipad mini speakers--all are improved with the program.

Two caveats:  it won't run DRM files, and the music interface, while very serviceable, isn't as sophisticated as either iTunes or the ipad music player.

Doesn't require dongle or external device.

Worth the price!

### 3/5 — Don't know what to rate this app

*2012-09-12*

App starts with the loading screen but then crashes.
