Best way to fade out music on iPhone

I’ve never left an app review but I had to say thank you for this app! It was exactly what I needed: a way to prepare a playlist of tracks that could either fade out smoothly on command or could autoplay through if the user didn’t do anything. It was easy to set up and to teach others how to use (all I had to do was tell them to just press the Go button to trigger each action!). It allowed me to setup all the music for my wedding ceremony how I wanted it and I could then easily get anyone to press the buttons on the day, and it worked flawlessly. Thank you for this app!

Rubbish is an understatement

I got an email a few days after downloading the app and it told me I have to pay £3.99 but I didn't agree and when I tried to stop it, it was to hard to figure out how so I have to pay this money for no reason

Can't import anything!

I'd heard some good things about this app, but after numerous attempts I haven't managed to import anything. It doesn't import from Dropbox, which seems ridiculous, as most other sound cue apps do, only from iTunes, and that is no easy process, especially if the track is DRM protected.

Deleted unfortunately, and the search for a decent sound cue app, which plays one cue over another, continues.

Great app! Just one bug.

Just like q-lab; super, super useful for theater! Only annoying thing: every time you import a track, the app crashes. But once they're all in there, you're good.

Perfect

I don't normally do reviews but on this occasion I'm so blown away it just had to be done.
I was looking for a Qlab style audio playback software for iPhone. After a quick google "play fade pause" came up. A download later and I was importing my files for the evenings awards show. All went without a hitch, the software is incredibly easy to use and is perfect for audio playback for events.
The option of having a big go button whilst also being able to see the current cue was brilliant.

To the creator of the app, I think I owe you a beer mate!
