### 1/5 — Don’t. Get. This. App.

*2020-10-11*

doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Fake app. Reported to apple

*2019-10-04, version 2.0*

Doesn’t work. Don’t download

### 1/5 — DON’T DO IT. SOMEONE IS TAKING YOUR MONEY. WILL NOT WORK

*2019-07-24, version 2.0*

DON’T DO IT. SOMEONE IS TAKING YOUR MONEY. WILL NOT WORK

### 1/5 — Scroller

*2018-12-29*

Rubbish does not work and no support want to cancel and get my money back

### 1/5 — Requires an account but won’t let you create one

*2018-12-27*

Don’t bother with this app. In order to use it, you first have to create an account. The problem is that the app will not allow this. 

The ‘create account’ command only opens a blank window with the words ‘page okay’ in microscopic font in the upper right corner. There are no fields to actually set up the account, and the app will not start without one. 

Which means downloading this app is nothing but a waste of your time and money.

### 1/5 — Total Scam!!! DO NOT BUY

*2018-12-21, version 2.0*

Doesn’t work at all. Gives you a song already loaded into the software and doesn’t make any sound when it’s supposed to. When you press “get song” to retrieve your XML files it takes you to godaddy.com.... like what?! Total waste of money. I want my money BACK!

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish

*2018-11-08*

This app does not work on any level, none of the links work, including Support… even the developer’s website no longer exists. I can’t believe the App Store is even selling this!?!? Avoid completely.

### 5/5 — Create song

*2018-02-04, version 2.0*

Create song
