## What is Press Play and Go?

Note: This app does not sell nor provide any music files.  All music must be purchased and supplied by the user.  Les Mills music can only be obtained by registered instructors either directly from that company or authorised distributors.

Press Play and Go is a music manager for group fitness instructors.  It allows playlists to be created from your existing music as well as seventeen Les Mills programmes.  It recognises both the original and cover versions so you can create classes most suitable for the music licences where you teach.

You can add breaks or timed pauses between songs and have a visible (and optional audible) countdown before the music starts - handy for changing weights or a drink​ break.  You always know when the class will finish which means never running over time again.

The Les Mills quarterly releases are automatically created from your supplied music - including bonus tracks.  Simply rip your instructor CD to iTunes or download the digital files and sync them with your device; the app will display the titles and artists and put the songs in the correct order.  Creating your own mixes is simple as only the songs you have available for each track in that programme are suggested.  Changing the songs in mixes is even easier.

The multi-song groups of BODYJAM and BODYBALANCE are handled in the same easy manner.  You can easily create playlists for the express class formats.  It supports the new and previous formats for BODYATTACK and both the 70/30 and Athletic class types for BODYSTEP.

X3 Pty Ltd has no connection at all to Les Mills other than participating in a lot of their classes.

All your music remains available in the iPod music library so no additional space is used.

### 3/5 — Too big for iPhone

*2022-10-20, version 2021.03*

Screen to edit songs is to large for iPhone. Not able to access options below “audible countdown” option. Need to make it so that screen will minimize and adjust to various smaller phones or music player screens.

### 5/5 — Best BodyPump Instructor App Available

*2021-05-12, version 2021.01*

I can’t recommend this app highly enough. I store all releases as playlists in the Apple cloud and the app just sees them all when they’re local to either my iPad or iPhone. The app never crashed and the developer is incredibly responsive if you have questions. You can crest custom mixes of releases in seconds. Buy this app and use it today.

### 4/5 — Access to Dropbox

*2019-11-12, version 2019.13*

App is great. I use it every time i teach. The only limitation is that you’re stuck with Itunes which i can’t stand using. It would be so much better if you could give an option to link to Dropbox or other folder on IOS. Thanks for all your hard work. I would gladly pay with an in-app purchase for this option.

### 2/5 — It was working fine till today.

*2019-06-04, version 2019.7*

All the sudden since the icon of the app changed to green, erased my newer releases, bodycombat 71 to 80, and Bodypump 101 to 110. And I had my own mix but almost all of them are missing some tracks so all messed up my class plan right before I started the class.

### 1/5 — Horrible user experience

*2019-04-18, version 2.07*

This app is neither user friendly, nor intuitive. I’ve been trying to load one BF release for weeks. Even the online walkthrough is terrible. The app needs to be modernized. Unfortunately, it looks like this app is the only game in town for Les Mills playlists.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2018-12-08, version 2.03*

App is very confusing to get set up and navigate. I would like a refund.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you're feeling that way.  There is a walkthrough of the core features at http://www.x3.com.au/walkthrough/ once you have added your music to your device.  If you are having trouble adding music then an email to us at support@x3.com.au will explain the best way we have found to do that.

If you decide you want a refund then that has to happen through Apple.  It is a simple process and this page describes how to get it for almost any app you purchase from Apple: http://www.imore.com/how-request-refund-itunes-or-app-store-purchase

### 4/5 — How do we contact

*2018-09-02, version 2.01*

I have a question about something that keeps happening and it tells me to set up an email to be able to email for support... no place to set up an email 🤔 anyway, would be nice to have more than just frequently asked questions as not all little bugs are frequently happening to everyone 🤷🏼‍♀️ absolutely love this app though!! Even participants appreciate the between tracks timer and countdown! Makes them hustle!! 😉👌🏽

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.  On the 'help' tab the 'Email us now' item will allow you to email from within the app if you have configured your phone to have email on it.  See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201320 for details on how to do that.

If you don't have email configured on the phone you can email us directly on support@x3.com.au from any other device that has email installed.

### 4/5 — Playlist at end of class won’t play?

*2018-08-11, version 2.01*

I have an iTunes playlist selected to automatically play at the end of every class, but it only actually plays about one out of every five times. No rhyme or reason why. Any ideas?

### 3/5 — Issue with app?

*2017-04-17, version 1.94*

I have this app on iPhone and an iTouch ... has always worked wonderfully.  This week, however, I cannot get it to pull music.  Is anyone else having an issue?  I emailed their support several days ago and have received no response.

### 5/5 — A Must for all BodyPump Instructors

*2017-02-28, version 1.94*

This app keeps you on time and eyes on the members. No more trips to the stereo. Please use this. Your members will thank you for your focus and attention.
