## What is MusicFirst Student App?

The MusicFirst Student App allows students who are subscribed to the MusicFirst Online Classroom to view and complete tasks assigned to them by their teachers, using an iOS device.

The MusicFirst Student App requires a student username and password, provided by their teacher or school administrator.

Students simply log in, and will see a list of their assigned tasks.

If a task requires them to make a recording, the App provides a recorder where students can play directly into the microphone on their iOS device. When they are satisfied with their recording, students can submit it directly to the MusicFirst Cloud for their teachers to review immediately from a desktop computer.

Other MusicFirst Cloud Apps such as Focus on Sound and Noteflight can be accessed directly from the MusicFirst Student App. Tasks that teachers have assigned to students for these Apps can also be completed and submitted for their teachers to review and grade online.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2024-06-14*

Won’t let my login

### 1/5 — Can’t even use it

*2024-05-27*

I tried to login so I can access a school assignment easier but I messed up the website link and to be able to use the app I have to delete it. When I put the wrong link and it said was “account not found” it didn’t let me refresh or anything. When I closed and reopened the app it didn’t work, or when I left it close for hours it didn’t work.

### 1/5 — There’s a raccoon living in my room

*2021-12-02, version 1.43*

I swear every night I wake up to the sound of scurrying in my walls. Then one day I heard a loud crash at the middle of the night and BOOM. There it was. The fattest raccoon I ever saw dude it was terrifying but sorta cute. Like me 😜@therealbenshapiro

Anyway 1/5 hate the app

### 1/5 — This app stinks.

*2021-11-30, version 1.43*

I was using this for my son, and he was using the correct instrument, but it kept saying that his pitch was “off.”  Please fix this app immediately.

### 1/5 — -

*2021-11-08, version 1.43*

I recommend the creators taking more time out of their day to fix the situation. This is not suitable for iOS so this shouldn’t be on tre App Store. This bug is ridiculous. It’s frustrating when your app doesn’t work. Having an app stay stuck at one screen is like turning homework in that isn’t finished. If this cannot be fixed then I suggest it is taken down from iOS App Store.

### 1/5 — Worst app I ever installed.

*2021-05-25, version 1.43*

Good luck getting it to work at all.  Even the website is terrible.  Stay away from this one.

### 1/5 — Can’t even sign in

*2021-05-21, version 1.43*

It won’t let me even sign in without having a bunch of random adds popping up, it would not even let me sign in. The website is much better than the app

### 2/5 — Better Sound for Xylophone

*2021-04-20, version 1.43*

It says things like “unexpected pause” or “note cut off.” That’s what a xylophone is supposed to do, so I am generally concerned on what your idea of a mallet instrument is.

### 1/5 — it sucks

*2021-04-13*

it sucks

### 5/5 — MusicFirst

*2021-03-11, version 1.43*

The app has an amazing performance, which helps me record and make ny recordings way better. Thank you for your app, I would recommend this app to anyone who likes music.
