### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2024-11-16*

No update or support.

### 2/5 — Paid Version Does not Support

*2020-09-26*

The app says it supports Apple Music, but it does not. 
It opens up my Apple Music playlist, but does not play them. I have tried several times, I’ve gone through setting etc. it just doesn’t work. 
It functions only as a microphone.

### 2/5 — Didn’t work well

*2020-05-20, version 3.0*

Their free version is better. So I guess paying for this one cancels out enough not to be too angry. The levels don’t really do anything and it’s got feed back and latency up the wazoo if you use Bluetooth. A lot better if the speakers are connected through your phone with a cable and with the phone’s mic rather than a mini mic into the phone which is impossible anyway bc that’s how the speaker must be plugged in. Meh

### 3/5 — Good but missing key feature

*2019-09-14*

I was looking at this compared to VonBruo’s free Microphone Live app, which indicates you can use a Bluetooth headset as a mic. This paid version does not support that, but is otherwise nicely designed. I really need to mix headset mic with music for gym instruction, seems like a killer app yet hard to find.

### 1/5 — Can’t disable reverb

*2019-07-06, version 3.0*

Purchased this app for taking people on tours, so I could broadcast my voice at a higher volume via bluetooth speaker without having to speak loudly. There is no option to disable reverb so it is probably a fun “sing-a-long” app for someone who want to purchase it specifically for that, but it is a terrible option for talking only.

### 1/5 — Problem

*2019-06-15*

I purchased the paid version why it was not updated like a free version

### 1/5 — No support for this app.

*2019-02-23, version 3.0*

Doesn’t work with Apple Music subscription songs.

### 5/5 — I give this app a Five star rating  by ken Beetcher

*2019-02-16*

I am blind and in a short time with the payed app I was using all the settings for a perfect experience with the app to sing along with my Apple music downloads If you like to hear yourself sing along with music from apple Von Broono  app is the way to go

### 1/5 — Apple permission for music

*2018-11-22*

Unable to play my music... waste of money

### 1/5 — Rip Off and False Advertising.

*2018-10-20, version 3.0*

The Apple App Store advertises that this app now supports Airplay and bluetooth streaming.  IT DOES NOT!  
The app support button does not provide any link to support.  It links to the app website where you are told that Bluetooth and Airplay are in fact NOT supported.  Problem is I already spent the money to buy the app and £4.99 is a lot of money for something that does not work if you want to sing to yourself through the phone speaker it works fine.  Otherwise don’t waste your money.
