I noticed two glitches. If quickly push next song button, sometimes it start to play song by itself. Second glitch is when you try to move timeline cursor. Song starts from different time or stops after few seconds. Best part is that song will finish to play, even if you close and exit from app. You don’t need to worry about interrupted song. ### 2/5 — Used to be great *2018-01-23* This app is EXTRA glitchy right now. There’s a serious lag in the controls and sometimes it won’t work at all and forcing a restart of your phone is the only way to get it to work, which has resulted in all the music getting deleted. I use this app as a tool in my job and I have to get a different one, now because it’s not playing nice. Other teachers are having the same issue. ### 2/5 — Not very responsive *2018-01-02, version 1.8* Very slow in newer phones it needs to be upgraded find something else 😕🎵❌ ### 4/5 — Portrait landscape *2017-09-07, version 1.8* Used the app. Love the fact that it cues the next song. How do I change to landscape. Finally made my way to settings. Set to landscape but no change takes place. Seems to be locked in portrait. Makes it difficult when switching to my mixer screen which needs to be in portrait. ### 4/5 — A really good app *2017-01-14* This app works great for my sound bites, the only thing that I have a problem with is the view rotation, it stays in place, other than that it great ### 1/5 — Buggy *2016-04-12, version 1.4* Trying to remove all songs before adding new songs results in crash as soon as you delete the last song. Upon re-launch, old songs are still there. Uninstalled and re-installed app, old songs are still there. Interface is poor. Cannot view the list of songs during playback, or at any time for that matter! Move on, there’s nothing to be had here... ### 1/5 — Doesn't work and no developer contact option *2016-03-13, version 1.4* Crashes every time I try to add music. There are no contact details for the developer so not possible to get a refund or support. ### 1/5 — Doesn't do what it says on the tin. *2015-10-18, version 1.4* Unfortunately, this amateurishly made app does not play the track as soon as you hit the play button. There's a delay of a few seconds, which varies according to the size of the track. If you need this, i.e. If you are cueing in sound effects for a production and don't want awkward pauses, then this is not the app for you. I can recommend the slightly more expensive, but much more professionally made, app called Audio on Cue 2 which I bought after finding this one useless for what I required of it. For the sake of an extra £1, it's a no brainier. ### 1/5 — musician *2015-08-09, version 1.4* The first version worked flawlessly.Loved it.Then with the updates to itunes and play on cue it no longer stops clean. usually plays 3 or four seconds of next song. This doesn't work in live poerformance....Truely disapointed ### 4/5 — church music *2015-01-31, version 1.4* crashes when trying to see list view. too bad, i have used for some time and always worked well. it is because i am using an older iPad? ### 4/5 — Great app, just what I needed. But with one little niggle *2014-11-29, version 1.4* This app is ideal for what I needed for a theatre performance. Although the screen is in portrait only and doesn't rotate to landscape. Adding this would be great. I can then have it angled in my case and keep my iPad on charge as well as plug it into an amp. ### 2/5 — Update bugs make it barely usable *2014-11-26, version 1.4* While I appreciate the app being updated for the first time in years, there are now so many bugs I can't use it anymore, in both the iPhone and iPad version. ### 1/5 — Update crashes *2014-11-22, version 1.4* I've used this app for years with no problems. Update crashes when trying to see list view. Now it's useless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage *2022-03-25, version 2.0.6* Doesn’t do anything. Option to use with Apple Music only. No use for cut music ### 1/5 — Rubbish App; don’t waste your money *2022-03-23, version 2.0.6* This was a promising app to download, as it is rare to have a music player that plays 1 song at a time then stops, which is great when performing with backing tracks, so I bought it. Unfortunately it does not work with an iPad 7, IOS 14 Waste of money. Developers, please update your app. Thank you kindly. ### 1/5 — Useless App *2021-11-29* Load two songs, it plays two songs. Load one song, it plays one song, then plays it again, then plays it again, then … and so on forever. The built-in iPad music does that and more - for free. Useless app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. At all. *2021-06-21, version 2.0.6* Useless - do not buy this, it’s a scam. Doesn’t even do ANYTHING. ### 1/5 — Cue doesn’t work *2021-03-06* A total waste of money. ### 1/5 — Did Not Keep Up With Updates *2021-01-22* This used to be a great app! Exactly what I needed. I used Airturn. Could select playlists for drum songs I recorded to play background to my guitar. Displayed album art, which I used for tabs and lyrics. I loved it. But... Last update was for 12.0. I just updated my iPad to 14.3, and now this app is useless! Gets stuck on one song. ### 1/5 — Could not load ANY music *2019-08-01* Therefore this app is useless. And it wouldn’t let me contact the developer to see why. I just bought an AIRTURNand just wanted to be able to turn cricket sounds on and off. Oy. No such luck. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me *2019-07-24, version 2.0.6* Click to add music and select songs and click Done but not saved, click music again and just back to add music. IPhone 5 with latest ios ### 1/5 — Needs Serious Fixing *2018-04-15* This app used to work flawlessly - better than the rest. Now with the upgraded version it does not work at all. Developers we need you to work out a fix fast!! ### 1/5 — Needs Update *2018-02-24, version 1.9* Used this app for a while and it worked great. Recently updated to ios 11 and now it doesn’t function properly, it’s slow and unresponsive. I use this app to play backing tracks in my band, there is no other app that can play one song at a time that i know off. Please fix! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2017-11-26* Have a small theatre with drama productions. Run all our sound cues. Best program ever for inexperienced operators. Needs update for newest iOS ### 5/5 — brilliant *2016-01-13, version 1.4* Ideal if you want to stop each track in turn without going in to the next song unlike the ipod etc.. as a guitarist or vocalist, this is spot on! ### 5/5 — Great for Musicians *2015-05-07, version 1.4* It just works... Perfect for musicians who play to backing tracks... Well worth it. ### 5/5 — Choir Director *2014-11-21, version 1.4* I was thrilled to find out how easy it was to use. I am a Jr. High Choir Director and programmed my concert in less than 5 minutes. I use tracks when I can, and this worked flawlessly at last nights show. Thank-you!!! ### 5/5 — New and amazing *2014-11-18* Finally a music app that lets you create a play list on the fly. If you do shows of any kind the you will love the song playing then advancing to the next song and stopping. The new system update came right on time. Thanks guys and gals I love this little app. ### 5/5 — Add All Songs Feature *2014-11-08, version 1.2* I love this app. It's terrific. But since upgrading to an iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1 - current Nov 2014 it's playing up. Specifically - after loading all songs from a playlist the songs load but the keypad comes up and won't go away ... Makes it impossible to use now in a performance situation. I'm in mourning ... ### 5/5 — Work’s fine *2014-10-08* Easy to use. Does the job. Works well with external wireless keyboard. If you need to play songs or soundtrack one at the time, to stop at the end and not play automatically the next one in list, this is the app you need. ### 5/5 — People need to realize what this app is for *2013-02-28* This is a pretty solid app for what it does. No, it is not just a playlist app for your music. No, the songs shouldn't play one after another. This app is designed to have single songs or even sound effects play on cue. I have used this for years as a sound guy in theater when you have an entire show's worth of sound cues that you need. Like another reviewer said, this is great when you want to know that the sound will play and then simply stop when it is done. If you set up your list correctly, all you do is just hit play the entire night! I haven't used this in a little while but I am noticing that sometimes the playback stutters just a little bit on the most recent playlist I put in… Maybe it is because of the file types. Anyway, this is a great app for the very simple task that it performs. Don't rate it poorly because you don't know how it is supposed to work. ### 5/5 — Works like a charm. *2013-01-13* Well written and easy to use. Just what I was looking for. If I could save my playlists that would be even better. As it is, I have to remove all songs and start from scratch every time I need to put together a different set of songs for a performance. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-06-10, version 1.2* PERFECT APP. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
