It’s only loading music on iTunes…not local files loading…any help!?

FAIL

Terrible UI. Requires you upload your files to Apple Music which can take hours or fail completely. As this is an iPad app, primarily, you shoud be able to put a music file in your folder and open it. The file I tested didn’t produce accurate results and I even stripped out the vocal so all it had to listen to was the music track. Wildly expensive for what it is.

I thought it was a great app in the beginning

I really thought this was a great app to start with! Not perfect but a great idea …. But when I went to use it after a while I find I’m being asked to pay a weekly subscription! Way too expensive for most of us !! A one off price maybe but I’m deleting this app now it’s to much ! So disappointing! Greedy 🙄
