I see only 9 composers with 1 selection each. Once that plays, the music stops. As I said, maybe I’m missing something, not finding a collection of music I can listen to for longer than a couple of minutes. ### 1/5 — Great at first until new phone *2022-08-11, version 2.0.24* I paid to get credits and even clicked daily until I downloaded all the songs the app has, then I switched phones even correctly until to lose all the songs. When I emailed support and explained they just replied once and then ignored my request to restore the songs. ### 1/5 — Don’t get it *2021-01-16, version 2.0.24* DO NOT GET! If you can want to listen to classical get Spotify. Sonata has very few songs and Sonata is hard to use. ### 1/5 — Limited listening option *2018-12-02, version 2.0.19* There is no search option One cannot search to listen favourites No option to select style or type of music ### 1/5 — なんでかなー *2016-12-03* すぐ消える ### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar auf iOS 9 *2015-10-11* Die App stürzt leider sofort ab. Sie lässt sich also nicht mal öffnen. Bitte dringend ein Update bereitstellen. ### 1/5 — Review *2013-04-28* Not great ### 1/5 — Moyen *2013-02-13* Excellent concept mais très mauvaise qualité sonore même une fois le morceau téléchargé ### 1/5 — Paket gekauft *2012-08-11* Aber die Titel tauchen nicht in der Playliste auf.

That is the sign of an awesome developer!! ### 5/5 — Great way to listen to CM *2026-01-28, version 5.0.27* Sonata is a great portable classical music collection that I can take with me wherever I go. Although I wish more composers and pieces were added on a regular basis (I have paid for and downloaded the entire library), it still takes several days to listen to everything before starting over again ### 5/5 — izac bar *2025-11-28* Boa **Developer response:** We're thrilled to know that you're enjoying our game!
