### 1/5 — Used to be good, but now bad. 👎👎👎👎

*2020-12-06*

When I tap speak, it was so clear. Now, they don’t make a sound! Also the ads are weird. Can anyone fix the bug??? Thanks. 😐

### 1/5 — Was good. Does what you need but ads blast in your face.

*2019-01-02*

I get it’s free and ads are necessary. I don’t mind the ad banners at the bottom. It works. Tik Tok is on my brain. Not getting it though. However, now you are making us watch ads before we can see the definition. Not always but after 2 or 3 of them. 
Deleting. I can lookup on google instead.

### 1/5 — Adds and more adds

*2018-02-27*

This glossary used to be helpful. The new version has a noisy add when you first turn it on and then when you try doing a search there’s another noisy add which last for a minimum of four seconds. If you don’t have your sound turned off you’ll get kicked out of your orchestra rehearsal for all the racket it makes.The definitions are fine but the noise and the bother with the ads made me delete it.

### 1/5 — It has become unusable

*2017-11-21*

There are now countdown adverts before entering a search term and again afterwards before it shows you the definition. At the end of each countdown the button to close the advert often still does not work. You'll only get frustration from this app.

### 2/5 — Upgrade

*2014-10-14*

I love this apps. Can you please update the app?

### 2/5 — Unsatisfactory

*2014-07-16*

This app has basic terms, but none of the French terms I needed. Also, there are typos (perposition instead of preposition) and many of the definitions are awkward, like a non-native English-speaker translated them.

### 4/5 — Great!

*2016-05-01*

Helped me during a piano lesson today. Very accurate! 10/10

### 4/5 — high

*2016-03-30*

it's pretty nice but it needs some tweakin, otherwise it's ok

### 4/5 — Great music dictionary

*2013-02-13*

Very good app and it's free! This had terms that many other music theory apps don't have. My only issue is that the search function is very weak. If I search for "Es" that should be the first result, not every single term with the letters "e" and "s".

### 4/5 — Good app

*2012-11-04*

This app is very good considering it's free... Would like more italian

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2017-07-13*

Thanks for a very complete music dictionary with brief but understandable definitions.  And for unobtrusive ads.

### 5/5 — Works great.

*2015-09-21*

Works great.  All you can expect from a free app and more. You can scroll through the alphabet, jump to a letter, or search for a specific word. You can make favorites to create your own personal vocabulary list. Wish there was a function to add terms  not listed. Though I actually haven't come across any not listed to date.

### 5/5 — Great reference app!

*2015-02-11*

I use this on a routine basis & have recommended it to my students. The audio pronunciation is a tremendous help.

### 5/5 — This is great

*2013-07-31*
