### 5/5 — Bugs

*2022-09-30, version 2.4*

I love this application but I couldn’t open it today. Seems there are some bugs that need to be fixed !!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-02-23, version 2.2*

After paying 2 dollars for this app, every time it listens to anything it crashes immediately after. Waste of money and time for an app that does nothing.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2019-02-16, version 2.2*

Worst 2 bucks ever spent! Dont get it wont even read anything, dont waste your time or money

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2019-02-02, version 2.2*

Nice try Billy McFarland, maybe try making an app that doesn’t crash immediately after analyzing a song. @itunes can we delete this trash from the App Store. Thank You

### 1/5 — Crashes Galore

*2019-01-17, version 2.2*

For a paid app, I would expect maintenance to be regularly updated. This app not only had views that say that it isn’t accurate, but it crashes immediately after listening for me. All in all, this is the worst 2 dollars I’ve ever spent.

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2019-01-15, version 2.2*

Closes every time I try to find the key

### 1/5 — Crashes every time.

*2018-12-01, version 2.2*

Easy to use... 1 Star. 
After listening for 15, 30 seconds - counter increasing to 100%, app goes blank. Never displays a key... just returns to the screen of icons.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2018-09-15, version 2.2*

I am a Audio engineer and every sense I ran across this app it have been a time saver for me for when I am  recoding singers who need the auto tune in the right key. This app help me with the key that the song are in so I can set the key and note scale so the auto tune can correct the singer notes. This help me with hearing the key without using it but I still use this app to make sure.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-08-12, version 2.2*

Very very inaccurate, waste of money

### 1/5 — Complete waste of money

*2018-01-13, version 2.2*

Doesn’t matter what song you try, everything is in Bm. Gee! Who knew??
Certainly simplifies things :(
