### 2/5 — Bro…

*2026-07-01, version 1.101*

I have never hated vamps more in my life.

### 5/5 — I am

*2026-04-27, version 1.101*

I am in a Ben and Jerry’s factory when I meat the man of my dreams. He’s got beautiful lips and thighs like the pillars of the coliseum. We lock eyes, something changes, doves fly in the air, Obama is there 

App sucks dih btw

### 5/5 — Updates

*2026-04-08*

I think the app has some serious potential. I like being able to hear my own part and then layer it together. 

I wish it was more musical than synth but outside of that, I think it’s a handy tool for me to use.

### 1/5 — Worst music app for theater!!

*2026-02-14*

Using this app for the first time at our theater (iPad edition). Instead of getting the tracks meant for Grease School Edition, we got tracks for the full Broadway show. So our director spent 3 HOURS fixing issues with the track lengths because the app crashes constantly!!! It is hard to play transition tracks repeatedly, because the sound stops instead of restarting. In other apps/players, I can press this ⏪ to start the song over, in this app, it either doesn’t work, or sends it to a random point in the song. The only indicator of song length is measures, having a minute/seconds counter would be so much more helpful. Every single track has a metronome that cannot be turned off, which is a pain to listen to, and sometimes confuses the kids. Also the majority of the tracks are piano and metronome, with no guitar or drums, which just sounds odd. While I get that a lot of my issues might be fixed easily, the constant crashing and stress of using this system is very irritating.

### 4/5 — Theater kids holy grail

*2026-02-13*

I literally would not have made it through my spring show without this app thank you show ready. 4/5 because it’s buggy at times and kind of evil

### 1/5 — My mama took my chastity belt off so I could use this app

*2026-01-22*

My mama got this app to help me learn my gospel songs, but she fell in love with it too much and left the church. She put on my cage when I was really little, and it saved me from feeling naughty. But this app made her fall in love and she put it into an ai chatbot so it could talk back to her. She started a cult for this app and removed my cage to free me and tried to get me to join her show ready cult. I just escaped and I don’t know what to do with my life now :(

### 1/5 — TRASH!!!

*2025-12-17, version 1.101*

We used this for musical and it never worked! It wouldn’t play, always glitching, and more. Luckily my parents never divorced for the app, but I’m still very upset at this bad bad bad app. DONT DOWNLOAD!!!

### 5/5 — Very helpful tool

*2025-12-04*

As a community theater member, I found this app extremely helpful for Learning your part -especially in harmony and being able to layer other voices in or out.

### 1/5 — Not loading on my iPhone 16 Pro Max OS 26.1

*2025-10-28, version 1.101*

Does not load on my iPhone

### 5/5 — It was actually good

*2025-07-19*

I read a lot of reviews for this app. Despite the weird, random ones, it said that it didn’t work. That just straight up wasn’t true. This was a good app that helped me prepare for my show, and I was, as corny as it sounds, Show Ready!
