### 3/5 — It stopped playing my music

*2023-03-08*

Having used it for months, it suddenly stopped playing. Reloaded but same problem. What have you done to your wonderful app?please fix it ASAP.

### 3/5 — It does it’s job for the most part most of the time

*2022-03-09, version 5.2.1*

After using the free version for a few years, I bought the full version hoping it’d be less glitchy & because I needed to add more songs to my library. Although I love that I’m able to have all 15 of my recital songs in my library, it took a very long time to upload the songs. Also, I would gladly pay a few more dollars for the ability to organize my library, edit the order of my songs, as well as have the option to load whole playlists/albums rather than each song 1 at a time. It’s rather frustrating the amount of times the app decides it’s done & closes as I try to restart a song or go to a particular part of the song. I’d love to be able to load my ballet music into the library so I could quickly adjust the music when necessary. However, the process of adding the music to my library & it having no organizational options makes it an unnecessarily long process that creates a less than efficient list of songs that don’t play one after another.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-11-18, version 5.2.1*

Great Tone

### 5/5 — So simple.

*2021-02-10, version 5.2.1*

So simple! Does what it says! What a concept, right?? Ok

### 1/5 — Wasted my money

*2021-02-02, version 5.2.1*

Maybe I’m technically challenged but I never got this to work.   Every time I tried to add songs to my favorites I got error notifications.  Never got it to work

### 4/5 — Good but bad.

*2020-09-28, version 5.2.1*

Great app and easy to use but I wish I could slow a song down and then download it back to my library.  That’s what I thought it was.

### 5/5 — I never learned how to read music...yet this app...

*2020-03-01, version 5.2.1*

This app truly enables any one who has the drive and passion to learn and memorize complicated pieces. I have master several smooth jazz pieces by David Benoit and Russ Freeman if the Rippingtons.

### 1/5 — Bought the app and can’t use it

*2019-12-18, version 5.2.1*

I purchased the app and still can’t load more than 3 songs. I deleted one song and then I still can’t add a song.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-11-10, version 5.2.1*

This app makes you pay after the first 30 seconds that you are using it. Not cool because it takes so long to download songs, and when slowed down, they sound all broken up. Title says it all. DISSAPOINTED!

### 2/5 — Great gone bad

*2019-11-01, version 5.2.1*

I’ve been eager to write a glowing review of this app, but the new version with the snazzy look is MUCH harder to use than the earlier version. What used to be a 5 star app is now down to 2.   How do I return speed back to the 0% baseline speed with just 1 touch?  How do I rewind a couple of seconds?  How do I know what the present playback speed is?  If I place my thumb over the speed slider it covers the speed % value so I can’t see it.  I can’t figure out what the white “stop” button does or the white button (with circular arrow) to it’s right.  The help files don’t apply to this version.  The app got prettier but is way harder to use.  I really hope the creator remedies these things in an update because I used to LOVE this app!
