Love to show it off. Would be 5 stars if it didn't drain the battery so fast. And sometimes the tape gets tangled and I have to wind it with a Bic pen. ### 4/5 — Fun *2019-10-08, version 1.3* Very real looking; reel hubs rotate according to tape amount on each hub. ### 4/5 — Cheaper than 40th Anniversary Sony Walkman *2019-09-09, version 1.3* Now that Sony has introduced a 40th anniversary Walkman, for an astronomical price, this iPhone app is a real bargain. Just needs to be updated for the latest iOS, and the iPhone XR to use the full screen. ### 4/5 — Good but needs improvement *2019-02-26, version 1.3* This app should be improved, First the cassette is cropped it should show the full cassette case leaving a space on the side of the screen for beautiful segment VU meters. Additionally a cassette lid could be added as an option if you want the cassette to look like it’s inside a cassette player, So you can choose to be closed or just plain cassette. ### 3/5 — 채널 *2018-11-28* 하.. 이거 신기하네요.. 몇년만에 앱 구동 시키니 국내방송이 나오던데.. 잘못 눌러서 채널이 이동 되서 다시 찾아보려고 검색 검색.. 국가, 도시에서도 찾을 수가 없네요 채널명이 radio g(??) 뭐였는데..채널소스는 어디인거죠?? 팟캐인건지.. 팟캐 검색도 안나오던... ### 4/5 — Needs iPhone X support *2018-01-17, version 1.3* Would be great to have iPhone support Nice app ### 3/5 — Ok *2017-09-29, version 1.3* App would be perfect if you could actually share a mixtape. Wasn’t that the whole point of making them for those of us old enough to remember ### 5/5 — Great Music Player *2017-08-24, version 1.3* This is a very nice basic music/radio player. It does what it does very well. Some future additions that would make this the best music app in the iTunes App Store: • Lyrics Support (custom too) • Recording Capabilities with local storage & Dropbox support • Basic editing capabilities to erase erroneous voiceover/commercial interruptions ### 5/5 — Delitape deuxe *2017-08-24, version 1.3* Great stuff! ### 5/5 — Cool *2017-08-22, version 1.3* Great music app the best and looks great!! ### 4/5 — Awesome but needs fixing *2017-03-08, version 1.3* Love the app the radio stations work great. However when I try to play music from my iPhone the app crashes. Iphone6+ latest update. ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2016-10-16, version 1.3* This app is so cool. Could you please add support for tape/screen rotation? ### 5/5 — Best of you *2016-02-04, version 1.2* Brst ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-08-19, version 1.2* Add portrait view for iPad please! ### 4/5 — Great app.. *2015-04-13, version 1.2* ..but I wish I could create custom tape labels so that it would match my phone case. ### 4/5 — Great nostalgic music player *2015-03-18, version 1.2* Apart from the fact that it's crashed on me 1 out of 3 times I've used it, I like it. ### 5/5 — F...ing best music App!!! *2015-02-04, version 1.2* Unbelievable, it's so unique and works perfect, and the look is just great!!! lml ### 4/5 — RTL *2015-01-21, version 1.2* It is cool to be able to listen to great European radio station like RTL on iPhone in NZ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ? *2017-08-29, version 1.3* You cater to all genres of music except hip hop/rap.. 👎 ### 1/5 — Buggy abandonware *2016-10-04, version 1.2* Playlist functionality is broken: can select songs sometimes but cannot deselect. Cannot view radio streams while listening to local music, or vice versa. Preselected radio streams are old and most seem to be dead now. No way to edit them or add your own. This app seems to have been abandoned. ### 1/5 — Not worth $.99 *2014-04-16, version 1.2* I purchased this a year ago to listen to internet radio - mostly techno and dance - and for some reason stations are now no longer 'bugfwring'. I'm sure it's an issue with the stream provider but an update to the app would be nice. Looks like it was tabled in 2012. If you're only listening to your iTunes music then this is just a visual cassette front end and no additional value. The developers need to add the ability to point it to an http address of your choosing and it streams the music. Don't spend the $.99 unless you want iTunes to look like a cassette player. ### 1/5 — Not enough genres *2013-04-09, version 1.2* A friend recommended this app to me, but much to my dismay upon perusing the different genres offered by the app, most of the genres I listen to aren't even listed; no soul/R&B, jazz, gospel, etc. whoever designed this app needs to take into consideration that there are other types of music that people enjoy, and that a more comprehensive selection of music would entice more listeners to use this app instead of alienating those whose musical preference doesn't fall within the limited range offered by this app. ### 1/5 — Dont have hip-hop or reggae *2012-10-12, version 1.1* Have lag Not proud ### 1/5 — This could be 5 stars *2012-09-17, version 1.1* I tried to find customer services first but seem unable, as I like to normally air my views with them before I rate low. As previous customers have said, please remove the advert for your other product. I keep getting taken to the app store by mistake, really annoying. And my biggest gripe, let us please have the white spools back on the black tape instead of those new wretched gold ones. I'll put my rating back up to 5 then. ### 1/5 — The advert that you can't get rid of *2012-09-15, version 1.1* What's with the link that makes you go to the app store even on the purchased one? Very annoying. 1 star ### 1/5 — TDK CRX 90 ruined and tacky adverts *2012-09-10, version 1.1* I used to love this app until it was updated, my favourite tape graphics ( the black tdk CRX 90 ) now has orange spools and tint which is just horrible. There has also been an advert disguised as another tape image for the new vastly overpriced bling version. DO NOT UPGRADE I will not be using this version and will probably end up deleting the app and installing the free version as apple won't let you downgrade any apps :( I'd give this version zero stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Crashed my phone deleted straight away *2012-05-24, version 1.0* V Poor ### 2/5 — No controls *2014-12-02, version 1.2* I can't seem to shut this unit off once it does start working!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Giant Cassettes! *2019-12-07, version 1.3* App work well and looks great on an iPad. Getting older, you know. ### 5/5 — Very GOOD!! *2019-10-21* It’s so good that you can play your phones music and there is a radio but disappointed is that you can’t play with out a WiFi but it’s good enough so...FIVE STARS BABY!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — LOVE IT!!! *2019-09-16, version 1.3* I LOVE This app and think it’s a great idea, I’m a fan of Walkmans and Cassette Tapes and I think this app is super fun, it’s gotta be the best cassette tape app out there, the only improvement I would make is adding more cassette tape types, but otherwise, AWESOME 👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Love it. Looks and animates just like real *2019-08-15, version 1.3* I love the look and feel of this. It's simple, but is true to cassettes! It just has one thing that is missing...the album (custom iphone album) data. If I want to make a "mix tape", it's be great to see the album text on the cassette (maybe as white out with pen written on it or whatever). I had made my spouse a mix for her bday, but the album name wouldn't show, like for example "Allison's mix". Great app otherwise! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-03-02, version 1.3* Looks just like a cassette tape, works really well, really easy to use. Reminds me of my old walkman days :) ### 5/5 — Fun! *2018-05-21, version 1.3* There should be a feature that adds tape hiss and/or record tracking noise. Otherwise, a fun app for my music library. ### 5/5 — Wow! *2018-05-05, version 1.3* I was surprised that I found literally the app I imagined in my head a couple days ago it's just how I would want it, it's brilliant! I can play my Awesome Mix Vol. 1 all day in style 😊 thanks Devs ❤️ ### 5/5 — Finally, a real music player! *2017-09-25, version 1.3* This is a fantastic app for true music fans. Intuitive and fun. Apple's Music app was ruining my day until I found this gem. Now if only I could delete that Apple app... ### 5/5 — Nice *2017-08-25, version 1.3* Would suggest to make the sound look like a tape!! ### 5/5 — Wow!!! This really takes me back! *2017-08-25, version 1.3* This is an awesome app! It really gives me the feel of using my old Sony Walkman and Teac Tape Deck! I would love to see them add the old style reel to reel cassette tapes that Teac (and others) used to sell, as well as the famous Metal TDK cassettes from back in the day! Or perhaps allow us to upload our own! Watching the old supply and take up reels chugging along as my favorite song plays...this really takes me back! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
