### 5/5 — Significantly simplified my Turntable AirPlay setup

*2026-03-21, version 2.4*

For years I’ve been using an old Mac running AirFoil to Airplay the audio from my turn table to my HomePods and Sonos speakers.  It required a the Mac, an external monitor, an audio interface, a mouse and a keyboard, much of which required recharging annoyingly often.

Now that’s just an iPad mini connected to an audio interface and power. The app is so far much more reliable and nicer to use.  Huge upgrade.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-02-07, version 2.4*

Best app I’ve purchased in years. I use the microphone only mode to display lyrics and it works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-01-10, version 2.4*

I use this app almost daily to sync my vinyl playing to Apple Music and display artwork/lyrics. Nobody else has an app that does what this does and it’s become indispensable to my music setup. Amazing work!

### 5/5 — Crazy that this just works

*2025-10-02, version 2.4*

And its integration with Apple Music just keeps your algo alive and well !

### 5/5 — Superb

*2025-08-30, version 2.4*

This app is absolutely fantastic.  Works brilliantly in my setup.

### 5/5 — Super!

*2025-08-17*

J’adore l’idée je mets 5 étoiles pour cela mais j’aimerai que à l’avenir l’interface soit un peu améliorée pour être un peu plus jolie ! J’ai constaté un retard de l’affichage des paroles par rapport à la vrai musique en mode eco it e

### 5/5 — Ive wanted I way to read lyrics while listening to a record now I can!!

*2025-05-14, version 2.4*

So nice that you added a bunch of extra feature would totally recommend adding airbuds compatibility if anything

### 1/5 — Schreckliche App

*2025-05-10*

Nur im vertikalen Format nutzbar, lyrics bis zu 5 Sekunden verzögert, wenn das nächste Lied auf der Platte läuft , erkennt die App das nicht. Ich muss Also die App nach jedem Song neu starten damit das nächste Lied erkannt wird. Sinnlose und unbrauchbare Müll App

### 4/5 — Der (fast) perfekte Vinyl-Begleiter

*2025-05-03*

Live lyrics für meine Schallplattensammlung, was will ich mehr? Zu den fünf Sternen fehlt noch, dass die Lyrics besser synchronisiert sind (Shazam kriegt das mit weniger Latenz hin, während bei Quanta die Anzeige manchmal 5 Sekunden hinter der Musik ist), dass Live Lyrics nicht immer manuell angeklickt werden müssen, wenn man eine neue Platte auflegt, und ein paar mehr Einstellungsmöglichkeiten fürs Design.

### 5/5 — Library sync

*2025-01-27*

Thanks for the update ! 👍🏻👍🏻
