### 1/5 — Ripped off, Beware!

*2021-12-08, version 1.7*

Purchased in order to enable features which never turned ON. They cheated me. Developer is unreachable. Reported them to Apple but no response so far. They disabled refunds. Seems like a scam to me.

### 5/5 — Simple and Elegant

This app is a great tool for learning the Maqamat.  It uses the most common placement and spells out the Jens too.  I am using it as a composition aid for building up chants.
