Useless

Four screens that do nothing, don’t waste you money

Stay away from this app!

This product didn’t even come close to working on an iPhone or an iPad. It triggered the wrong songs from the wrong library and was completely unreliable. In my case, I couldn’t possibly use it for live events as it is worse than not working at all — it’s fully unpredictable and only plays the wrong thing. Apple, I tried to request a refund from you. I suspect now that the app is a scam.

When it plays it is so so

So, you have to create a playlist in the order that you want before you import it. You cannot rearrange that once it is imported. You are stuck with the order as is it is in the playlist. 15 tiles per page is a little shy of the 20 that I am used to. To tap a tile will sometimes play the cue most times it doesn’t. To play from the play page, you may get the song that is displayed but most times you get the next song in the line up. Extremely frustrating to use. The % indicator in the center of the play screen doesn’t give a clear indicator as to what that % is related to. Supposedly the tile is supposed to show the progress of the track as it plays, it turns yellow when it plays(and that is a hit or miss) and then is suppose to turn blue showing what has been played. Not so much. I have been using another track play back app that allows a tap and drag to arrange. You cannot choose a tile and tap it for play. Hit or miss at best. And mostly miss. Good thing it was only $1.99+ tax. Very disappointed. A great concept but execution is absolutely abismal!

LiveTrax

I have used this app on my Ipad for a couple of yeras now. It's very user friendly and simple to use. It works from itunes or applemusic playlists. Great display facilities, super fast responses. The only problem I ever had was trying to delete a song from a playlist as that can only be done in the itunes/applemusic playlist. I think it a brilliant app and I use it for all my live performances.
