Doesn’t work

Waste of 3 bucks. Says I have no music in my library after scanning. Don’t bother with this.
Tthatwasmyidea

This app won’t even open on my phone.

Will not let me open the app to see or play the songs

Awful

Lies!

Save your money - $3 Wasted

Paid the money, downloaded the app, scanned my library of music I am licensed to download, nothing. Instructions are incomplete, and wrong. Worst app I’ve paid for in years.

Won’t open - no refund

I bought this app a few days ago without reading the reviews. Despite many tries & deleting & reinstalling, I have not been able to open this app even once. They won’t give me a refund. Take this garbage out of the App Store or give refunds.
