Superschade, denn die Songs waren echt toll zum mitspielen geeignet. So allerdings viel Geld für einen echt miesen Support ausgegeben. Unverschämtheit! Suddenly, unfortunately, nothing works here anymore, by the way, with all apps in this series. Too bad, because the songs were really great for playing along. However, a lot of money was spent on really bad support. Outrageousness! ### 1/5 — Do not buy it *2023-01-24, version 1.2.1.1* They haven’t updated the app, I lost my money!!! ### 2/5 — She No Play *2022-12-03, version 1.2.1.1* It’s true - on an iPhone 14 pro with iOS 16.1.1 that the play button does nothing now. Still works on the Latin Essentials app though. Please fix oh fuzzy one. Randy ### 5/5 — The app is now broken since the latest iOS upgrade *2022-11-18, version 1.2.1.1* No tracks play in this or any other Fuzzy Music app. ### 1/5 — If it worked… *2022-10-30, version 1.2.1.1* … it would probably be a great app. But with new iOS the music won’t play anymore. ## Frequently asked questions about Mintzer Big Band Essentials ### What is Mintzer Big Band Essentials?
