Well done! ### 5/5 — This is way is done *2019-12-16, version 1.0.2* That’s is another example of how to emulate a tape deck, it is absolutely fantastic realistic emulator. Thank you, I hope that you’re going to make more tape deck and reel to reel players. Like technics revox pioneer. This days the tape deck becoming very popular. ### 5/5 — WoW *2019-12-05, version 1.0.2* Great Nagra. Waiting for Pioneer 707 ... ### 5/5 — Love it. *2019-11-13, version 1.0.2* Thanks for creating this very realistic reel to reel tape player. I really miss using the Wallensak T-1515-4 I had back in the 1960’s. I had hundreds of hours of music on tape back then. The NAKANO is awesome. Very well designed. My one comment is that I am unable to access a large percentage of the music I have saved on my iPad Pro. I would love to be able to access all of it and be able to make a collection of songs to be played on a reel of tape. We all did this back when reel to reel was a popular way of listening to our music. Thanks again. ### 5/5 — Looks phenomenal! *2019-11-04, version 1.0.2* Been looking for a good reel-to-reel app for years now, and I can happily say that this is by far a great starting point! I love the “k-chunk!” Sounds that play as you fiddle with the controls. Speaking of controls, is there a way to get that online help dialogue box to pop back up? Restarting didn’t fix, and I’d like to know how to import music. Update: I was so pleased with this app that I bought the tape deck app too. Not disappointed in the slightest. Keep it up! I’ll definitely keep an eye on this developer! ### 5/5 — Wow!!! *2019-08-25, version 1.0.1* I’m truly loving this! ### 5/5 — Sweet! *2019-07-31, version 1.0.1* Just needs recording thru mic. ### 5/5 — Awesome Graphic! *2019-07-17, version 1.0* Awesome Graphic and Great sound. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrating app *2021-10-28, version 1.0.6* Way too difficult to get to work. ### 1/5 — Won’t Load My iTunes Library *2021-10-19, version 1.0.6* I really want to enjoy this app (it looks so cool), but it won’t load my iTunes/Apple library. I gave permission to the app to access my library, but nothing is ‘transferring’ over to the app (and there are no instructions on how to troubleshoot if something’s not working). Frustrating! ### 2/5 — Ok *2022-11-22, version 2.0.1* I went and bought this app. And now I think it has a bug 🤨 after it plays a track it repeats it with no sound? Then it goes to the next track. Is this what I get for my money?? This is not happening on my iPad only my iPhone 12 Pro and I did restart my iPhone after buying the app. ### 3/5 — Great! Could use a new feature. *2020-11-01, version 1.0.2* This is honestly one of the coolest apps I’ve used to date. The only thing is, I don’t use Apple Music or iTunes. I use Spotify. If there was a way to implement Spotify support for even the tunes I have installed on that app, it would be 5 stars. Can’t wait to see what the future holds. ### 4/5 — Issues with IOS 16 *2022-09-19, version 2.0.1* I really like the app. Very realistic, a Nagra on my phone. Upgraded to IOS 16 and the purchased analog meter disappeared. Reloaded the app to no avail. Restoring purchases does not work. ### 4/5 — Bro! *2021-08-24, version 1.0.6* Such a cool app and it only plays from the crappiest most hated app lib in the world? How could you even consider them? Isn’t it easier to just have it play from your files? We hate Apple Music it’s a disgrace for your app. I’ve had it downloaded for months and still haven’t played one song on it. Sad ### 4/5 — feature request *2019-12-16, version 1.0.2* looks great. can you add the ability to play playlists? ### 5/5 — Wonderful, but crashes. Edit: Fixed now! *2022-05-17, version 2.0.1* Edit: Thank you for your speedy support! The app works well now. Five stars! I love this app. But unfortunately, it crashes when I click on Options to restore my purchases. Please fix this! I’d love to use this app again. ### 5/5 — Just because it is beautiful. *2021-10-11, version 1.0.6* I downloaded this just to admire the artwork. I do not buy music from Apple. Maybe this will be able to access my USB music files someday. I really do miss my old Swiss Lenco L75 turntable. If anyone can recreate that classic piece of equipment then it would be you. ### 5/5 — Still donotwork *2021-07-04, version 1.0.6* why are there no tapes to select after tha approval of iTunes library on my 2020 iPad Pro 12.9,256 Gb tmoblie .this app is not fine on my iPad mini 5 too ,now it don't load tha new songs I have added in iTunes ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — In love *2021-02-04, version 1.0.4* First of all an open real tape recorder is the most eye catching and stylish music format from all . Be able to have a digital one with so much realistic details is just beautiful . Really ! Thank you mr. Isakov . Great job ! Btw, the NAKANO desk tape is just FANTASTIC! Please , come up with turntable ! ### 5/5 — Amazing detail......but one suggestion! *2021-01-12, version 1.0.4* First off, let me say what an amazing app this is! It makes listening to music twice the fun. There used to be an app on the Apple store called, “Vinyl - The Real Recorder Player.” It was such a cool app and that is what this tape app reminds me of. I was wondering if you guys could make an app that emulates different models of record players with the same detailed interface that you put into this app? Keep up the great work!!! ### 5/5 — Apple IOS updates can be Frustrating *2020-10-15, version 1.0.2* The latest IOS update deleted all of my purchased iTunes songs, and had to read-download them all over, now I am able to use the reel to reel App. ### 5/5 — Love IT *2020-09-26, version 1.0.2* The game is fun to play ### 5/5 — Very realistic *2020-09-06, version 1.0.2* This is such a cool app. It works flawlessly, and makes playing from music library a much more enjoyable experience. Anyone from the reel to reel tape deck generation will appreciate this application. ### 5/5 — 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 *2020-08-12, version 1.0.2* Very nice app can you please add the option to play music from the Files app ### 5/5 — Reel To Reel *2020-06-01, version 1.0.2* I love it, it would really be great if it was able to play a playlist. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
