Sounded better before!! Please change it back! ### 4/5 — Speed is off *2013-08-09* At Camp Rince Ceol (CRC) we used this for one class. The speed of all of our sets were 2 speeds higher (Ex. 70 was actually 72). Overall, it's a great app! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2012-06-17* Great app! I love having any set right at my fingertips. Any chance at adding the vanishing lake and the charlady? I have a feeling the two new sets are gonna be pretty popular, wouldn't want to miss out on them! ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-04-08, version 1.1* Worth buying you get every jig/ hornpipe set at any speed in this one app, worth buying if your an Irish dancer or interested in that music. ### 3/5 — good except for some.... *2011-11-20, version 1.1* the music for most of the dances is really nice except for a few... such as planxty drury and three sea captains the music sounds digitally made and it's not fair!!! ### 3/5 — Please fix "shut off" bug *2011-11-12* Works great, except for the fact that when the screen goes to save mode or you hit the power button to power down the screen it shuts off the music (does not continue playing like iTunes does). Becomes problematic when my dancer sets her phone to her piece, goes to dance and the screen goes into power save and the music's gone. Fix that issue, I would give it 6 stars. ### 5/5 — Great app *2011-06-21, version 1.1* This is a really great app, especially as a teacher I'm able to slow down speeds while student are first learning and then slowly increase them. Thanks :) ### 5/5 — . *2011-06-04, version 1.1* AWESOME!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great!! *2011-05-25* I love this app!!! It helps so much at competitions!!! Most of the time I can't find my set dance at the right speed but with this I can have the perfect timing!!! U should buy! It's perfect and so worth the money!!! I love irish dancing!!!!!!<3 <3 ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2011-04-25, version 1.1* So good! An essential for any Irish dancer:) thank you for this incredible app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not what I expected at all. *2017-03-04, version 1.3.3* Totally useless app for me. Should be better explained as to what it is for. I was expecting by the title to have Irish Set Dances, instructions & music. Looks like this is a tempo app for timing for competitive dancers. Wish I hadn't purchased it. Waste of money for me. ### 1/5 — It doesn't play sound *2012-12-25* Sound doesn't play. ### 1/5 — Doesn't play *2012-10-23, version 1.2.2* It doesn't work! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2012-08-06* I just bought this app and it doesn't work at all :( does it not work for iPhone 4s? ### 1/5 — Recent update causes crash *2012-07-30* Was a great app for my dancer until I installed the update. Now it doesn't work..... ### 1/5 — Very angry *2012-07-20, version 1.2* I thought this app was great but then I updated it and now it keeps crashing when I go onto it ### 1/5 — Doesnt work!!!! *2010-10-16* I am so disapointed with this app because every time i try to change the tune it close the app!! What is the point if thats all that happens? ### 2/5 — Needs more dances *2013-03-11* The app would be perfect if it included beginner and novice speeds, reels, slip jigs and treble jigs! For the price, I'd expect more than what is there. ### 3/5 — Not accurate speeds *2015-08-30* It's not accurate speeds when I was doing planxty drury at speed 68 it felt like I was doing it at speed 69 or 70 and my dance teacher thought the same thing but other than that it has nice music! I give it a 3 stars only because the speeds are a little fast. ### 3/5 — Great app, but latest update won't work. Please fix ASAP! *2012-08-06, version 1.2.1* . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A must have for every Irish dancer *2017-01-16, version 1.3.3* Been brilliant for my boys in all their dancing. Love that the speed is adjustable. Thank you ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-05-11* This app makes learning sets so easy! It's a great TCRG study tool, it's essential for the serious dancer, and TCs will find it invaluable in the studio. No longer are you locked in to pre-recorded speeds. Well worth the money!! ### 5/5 — Helpful and Convienient👍 *2014-07-26* I love this app! Very helpful at dance class and while practicing. My dance teachers even use it! Worth the money!👍 ### 5/5 — AWESOME😃😃😃 *2014-05-06* I love this app so much!!!😄😄 Thank you for making it, my teacher loves it and I'm better at my set now. ### 5/5 — So good! *2014-01-16* Has every set dance! Money well spent 💰💰 ### 5/5 — Works *2014-01-12* This app does what is says it does. When you increase or decrease the beat the pitch of the music also changes, but still the best and only set app on the market. ### 5/5 — The single best Irish Dance music tool available. *2013-11-22* Before this app, you'd have to spend a bunch on a set dance anthology that still might not include the set dance at the speed you need. With this app, you have access to every possible set dance at almost every possible speed. Now you can drill your dances over and over and tackle tough pieces at a slower speed and build up to full speed. The recent update makes every set sound like it was played by actual musicians. I only have a few minor issues with the app: 1.) With the recent update, once a song is done, the last 5 seconds of the song will play repeatedly until you stop it. 2.) I would like to see EVERY speed available for every set. Hornpipes don't include speeds 86-99 and treble jigs only range from speeds 60-80. Although not used in competition, a wider range of speeds would be useful for practicing tricky pieces that need to be slowed down first. 3.) The set "Is the Big Man Within?" got messed up with the update. The transition from the slip jig lead to treble jig set is too delayed. Also, only the treble jig speed is shown- it used to be that both the slip jig and treble jig speeds were shown. Finally, it would be nice to select the slip jig and treble jig speeds separately. Overall, this is a fantastic app and should be an everyday tool for every Irish dancer! ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!! *2013-11-17* I am a Prelim Champion, and our choreographer gives us a new set every year. This is such a money saver, and the songs are really well done. This is what my teacher uses too. :) Excellent app, so worth the $6. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2013-06-27* Wonderful app!! Very useful for my children who are irish dancers. I like how one is able to adjust the speed with a slide of your finger. ### 5/5 — Yay *2012-08-13, version 1.2.2* The update saved me :P --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
