Very helpful
This has been helpful for brushing up on trope.
A woman chants the trope, which some users have complained about as an issue of Kol Isha; however, for it to legitimately count as Kol Isha you have to see the woman or at least know what she looks like, and many poskim argue that a recording or broadcast is not a “voice” but rather a transformed thing (dvar hadash)—the same reason one is not yotzeh from hearing the shofar or Megillah over the radio.

Too Narrow
Although very pleasant to listen to, this app only presents one version of the trope, which is not what everyone uses. Unfortunately, the trope vocalizations I learned and teach are not represented here. I won't be able to use this program.
Not what I was looking for
If you are expecting an app that will let you choose a selection and hear it chanted, this one is not what you are looking for.
Missing a few tropes
Not bad, but, it’s missing the following: Shalshelet, Mercha Kfulah, Karnei Farrah, Yerach Ben Yomo.
Addition
I’m using this as a practical practice for when a recording from my Hazzan is unavailable. Our conservative synagogue is triennial and if portions were available for that, it would be appreciated. This is very good to read from and bookmarking even parts of a portion would be a great help in an update.
