### 4/5 — Great app for itchy DJs

*2022-12-14*

I have used this app since it first hit the app store over a decade ago. It is still one of the best scratch performance tools that exists & a whole lot of fun to play with. I was really glad to see it updated last year, along with the developer stating that he would be adding ‘Pitch Control’ functionality. Have wanted that since day 1. Hopefully soon.

### 3/5 — The Original and Still the Best

*2016-12-05*

Please update for iP6 & above. 3 stars until that happens. Thank you🙏🏼

After I gave my beloved and JB'n iPhone to my mum, and made the switch to And**id,
I was devestated to find out about issue 3434, and more so, it's effect on my beloved flare.
Now I have a 4s and I'm seriously glad to have this back. Endless possibilities with a little bit of set up.
And all so simple and straight forward. Also well worth noting is Async games and iFlare's and the other 
dev's commitment to their apps. Their costomer support is unmatched by any other developer that I've come across.
5 stars

### 4/5 — My opinion!!!

*2016-06-10*

Pretty good app! If U work out the kinks mentioned by other buyers & add another table this would be an awesome app!

### 4/5 — 単純明快で楽しいが・・・

*2016-04-26*

iPhone6s iOS9.3.1で使用しています。インナージャックでアウトプット（スピーカーやヘッドフォン）しないと起動してもフリーズします。iPhone内の曲を追加できるのは嬉しいのですが、削除の方法が分かりません。内課金でネタを追加して、楽しく遊んでいます。取り込んだ曲の削除が出来れば☆5つです。

### 3/5 — Best scratch App

*2015-10-26*

Hands down the closet thing to an actually deck. Very accurate tracking which I why it will always be better than baby scratch.  

It would have got 5 stars... But the developer has totally abandoned this app. I've used this app for years now and haven't seen a single update. It's a shame because this app has the potential to be a major factor in mobile scratch game.. Which is booming at the moment.  Vestax handy trax and raiden faders are selling like hot cakes. When the Mixfade app and cross fader come out, This app be an artifact.. The Atari of mobile scratching. I still appreciate the years of satisfaction that it gave me. 

R.I.P Flare Scratch

### 3/5 — Five star app but........

*2015-02-14*

Your charging people $6.49 for an app that is designed for an iPhone 3GS screen?! Updates please or some free tracks or samples?! The mute button on the decks gets the record stuck sometimes otherwise endless fun app

### 2/5 — Vraiment bon

*2014-10-18*

La meilleure application du genre. Par contre, il faudrait vraiment penser à développer une version HD pour l'iPad.

Réédition: Application complètement abandonnée par son développeur, plus aucune mise à jour.

### 4/5 — アイコン

*2014-06-01*

アイコンが、ダサすぎて、良いアプリ台無し

### 2/5 — NOT What I expected!

*2013-12-13*

Baby scratch is better than this in my opinion , same thing just a fancier confusing layout and you can use the songs from your library"woopdeedoo", it doesn't even have a record option! Like baby scratch, I was hoping it was gonna be a really more advanced app for 5 bucks. I REALLY HOPE YOU ENJOY THOSE $5 More THAN I DID!... Although I consider that donation towards baby scratch its much fun

### 3/5 — Good app but

*2013-05-28*

Good app but some improvements are easily possible.

Many have been said already, button sizes etc but my new one is audiobus compatibility.

All music apps should be busting a nut to get on it!

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-11-27*

Keeps crashing when adding most music from my library to turntable or looper then everytime I open the app it just crashes and have to keep downloading it again. Same thing with baby scratch.

### 1/5 — Can’t play my music

*2023-07-18*

Can’t change the loop or turn table tracks it’s stuck with the same one you open the app with….

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2021-10-21*

Не работает на айпад эйр 2. Сайзинг окна кривой. И вообще она сделана под айфон, на айпаде кривая эмуляция. Верните деньги. Скрины подтверждающие ненадлежащее качество есть.

### 1/5 — iOSのアップデートで起動しない！

*2017-09-25*

お金を払っているので早急にアップデートをお願いします。気に入ったappだけに残念です。なにとぞ、よろしくお願いします。

### 1/5 — App does not work....AT ALL! Wasted my money

*2017-01-29*

I guess this app is not supported anymore because it does not work. It's completely broken. You can't even get it to make a sound. It won't load tracks from my library or their library. Record won't move. It's just straight up broken. Who do I contact to get my money back for this? I guess I'm beat for my money. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Refund

*2016-12-26*

Way is it not working for iphone 7? Way do you sell this app ? I want money back.....

### 1/5 — BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL

*2016-10-05*

I USED to love this app. Now I don't. Downloaded it 5+ years ago and I would use it EVERY SINGLE DAY. Made some cool sets with it too. Now…the interface is back to front, upside down and the PUSH FOR AUDIO switch, when on, doesn't work.
Sorry guys!! You've just lost a dedicated fan!!😞

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2016-04-10*

### 5/5 — Hardest working dev

*2024-07-25*

This app has been on my phone since iOS 3.0! Most generous app dev, hardest working, always responds to issues. Most devs would release a "new improved app" to get your $$ again. I really appreciate all you've done.

Edit: 13 years. Man what a legend

**Developer response:** Thanks! I’d like to update it again soon. Any feature requests? RF

### 5/5 — No full screen on my new iPad

*2022-10-27*

On my iPad mini I was able to use in full screen. Sadly the mini has become slow and unresponsive after apple update a few years ago. So I finally decided to get a new iPad (larger) but for some reason on my new iPad This app won’t open full screen and it’s deformed (oval).. Any help out there to fix this issue ?

Still gonna rate it a 5 because I know this is a great app and it worked well before.. hopefully I can get this issue fixed..

### 5/5 — 잘못 해서 결제버튼을 눌렀습니다

### 5/5 — 知らない人多いと思うから。

二本指でズームしてみて。すごいこと起こるよ。

### 5/5 — DOPE

*2017-04-04*

Is there going to be any more updates, or did you guys just forget about this app?

### 5/5 — A real turntablist app

*2014-08-17*

As a veteran DJ of 8 years, this app is great. The ability to scratch to your own library is flat out awesome, and can keep you in practice if you're on the go a lot and dont have time to get behind your own decks. The platter control is SUPERIOR to baby scratch, as it mimics a real Technic or Vestex table. I've read some of the other reviews from people downing the app, and I think they need to go back to school, and learn the basics. Great app!

### 5/5 — Best scratch app, realistic

*2014-04-22*

I really shouldn't review this app, because If more people get it the secret will be out of thr bag, but this is THE BEST scratch app out there. It loads your iPod music files EASILY and scratches with great accuracy. If you practice with this, which have been constantly for a couple months you can get the feel down and get really good with it. I can do flares, crab scratches, baby scratch if doorstep, and easily do transformers. This is a toN of fun.  I don't remember how much it cost but it was totally worth whatever I paid.  The oNLy thing I don't like is the corny : future: skin on it. I like the look of the baby scratch better. But this is still great . Long review, I know, but it's reL, not a paid sponsor bull, it's reL

### 5/5 — スゴくイイ！

*2013-12-16*

音がイイ！タンテの感触もイイ！こんなアブリ、ずっと待ってました。

### 5/5 — Мне очень нравиться

*2013-04-29*

Спасибо вам большое! Будет круто если для Ай Пада сделаете!!!
