## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not work at all!!!!!!

*2024-12-29*

Either that or it’s so confusing that there’s no obvious way to turn on the auto scroll

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-01-28*

Absolutely useless, “Tap to edit “ it says. Nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Very confusing

*2019-10-05*

The app is very confusing and not intuitive. Scrolling control is poor.
Would not recommend buying -
Free versions of the same thing are incomparably better. Support is only on Twitter - not email or phone. No way to request a refund.

**Developer response:** There is no other app that lets you scroll and replay your own scrolling motions.  There are only fixed scrolling speed apps which have no customization.  I’m sorry the two button interface was so hard to wrap your head around.  No messages from you on Twitter. You didn’t even attempt to ask for help.  Will be happy to assist you if you just reach out.

### 1/5 — RUBBISH

*2018-01-15*

Wish I’d read the review before buying it £5:99 straight down the drain
Absolutely crap crap crap

**Developer response:** Bullocks!

### 1/5 — Very disappointed!

*2017-08-22*

I purchased this very overpriced app thinking that I would be able to use it while I am singing on stage. But there is no way to upload lyrics from my word documents. So I would have to retype all of my songs! Also the biggest disappointment is that you cannot change size of font! I tried to contact the creator of this app and got no response! 😒

**Developer response:** The app never claims that you can "upload lyrics," as you state.  It also works based on a fixed font size, otherwise the automatic scrolling generated on font size 20 would be incorrect when adjusting to font size 40, which is also why that is not a feature.  I may as well have gotten a 1 star review for not providing enough links to cat food.  It's not what the app does.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all

*2017-01-07*

Downloaded this but it doesn't work and isn't fit for purpose. 
No instructions. No support. Just a twitter feed. 
Trying to type in lyrics you run out of space after about 8 lines and the onscreen keyboard prevents you from adding any more. 
No way pushing any of the buttons gets the scrolling process going 
Doesn't work for me- simple as that. 
I'd like my money back.

**Developer response:** I did not see any messages in my twitter inbox from
you.  I’m just an individual developer but I am here to help.  Please message me and I’ll walk you through any confusion!

### 2/5 — No backup option

*2023-12-20*

There is no backup so if you lost your device, you will lose your lyrics. I contacted the developer but never got any response back. I do not recommend this overpriced app.

### 3/5 — Good app but needs improvement...

*2020-07-08*

This app does work well. The text is fairly simple to edit. I have the same complaint as the others. It would be even better if you could change the font size as well as font colour

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!  I am working on the ability to update font color and size.  Please keep an eye out for these changes.  Thanks again.

### 3/5 — an app of "could of"

*2017-06-28*

This app could be a great app but some basic things need to be addressed.
1. The ability to select font size being the foremost on my list... the one used is small, made worse by the second item on my list.
2. Selectable justification.. centre justification is difficult for some of us to follow, and a no-no in real teleprompter land.
3. When text is copy and pasted in, and then edited within the app, the bottom lines run into the keyboard, making it impossible to further edit.

I hope that this hasn't been abandoned by the developer.

**Developer response:** It has not been abandoned!  Thanks for the feedback.  I am working on new features and I will definitely put your concerns at the top of my priority list.

### 3/5 — Brilliant, but buggy

*2016-01-30*

Fantastic app, really useful especially live. App crashes when you try and re-order the lists, which is frustrating. 
It would be great if you could have folders, or sets in future.

**Developer response:** These issues should all be addressed now.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Click track

*2020-11-06*

With my band playin to a click track and myself constantly forgetting lyrics as I get too old for this business this bit of software is just quality. 

I have a pretty old iPad and it works perfectly. Not sure how anyone couldn’t work out how to use a couple of basic functions!!

**Developer response:** Thank you!  As a father of two I do my best to update with new features as often as possible, though that can happen much slower than I would like.  New things currently in progress that I hope you’ll find useful as well. Thanks again.

### 5/5 — Scroller

*2016-08-14*

The app started crashing when trying to change song title order in the main screen. Kind of a big deal if you need them alphabetized. I don't see any other way of using this app efficiently. Please fix this issue.

Update:
Thank you for fixing my issue! It works perfectly, and I am very satisfied. Changed my rating to 5 stars!

### 4/5 — Works for me!

*2025-01-29*

This app is perfect for vocalists who are not playing backing tracks from mp3 files. I can create sets, choose to scroll them myself or use the record feature to drag the lyrics at the speed I need - it then scrolls at the right speed and remembers it. I would like it to have iCloud backup, so I can use across multiple devices as a backup in case my device fails on stage!!

### 4/5 — Need Help

*2022-10-28*

Just purchased your Lyric Scroller App
Need instructions on how to operate!
1. What are my options for adding song lyrics to app library?
2. Can I get lyrics from my word documents?
3. Is my only option to type the lyrics directly to the app?

### 4/5 — Alphabetical

*2019-04-20*

How do you alphabetize the songs on the main page? 
Also you need a delete button. For ones you enter and then decide you don’t want it. 
There needs to be more instructions on how to use the app. Not a lot, but some. How to set the speed of the scrolling etc.
Another thing. If I have multiple iPads iPhones etc? Do the lyrics I enter transfer to the other apps without me rewriting them? You should be able to copy and paste them if not. It takes a lot of time to type them individually. 
Thank you.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!  To delete a song just swipe your finger to the left just like deleting an email on your phone.  Currently we are working on multi-device sync.  Thanks again!

### 4/5 — Lyric scroller

*2015-05-31*

Love the way you can manually scroll the words. I have a few suggestions that could make this app even better. 
1. Option for a set list
2. Option for landscape view 
3. Alphabetical song entry 
4. Colored highlight for verse or lines that are currently scrolling
