### 1/5 — Stay away!

*2024-12-25, version 2.0.1*

This thing is broken and cracked. Wasted 7 dollars on the pro only for the app to shut down every time I open it. Stay away

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-02-18, version 1.6.3*

This app sucks. Paid for Pro membership. App does nothing it’s supposed to. No help available from the developer. Sad.

### 1/5 — 1.6.1 doesn't work with iOS 15

*2021-11-12, version 1.6.0*

It does  not recognize downloaded songs and crashes

### 1/5 — Don’t buy!!

*2021-10-05, version 1.6.0*

Myself and a bunch of hockey moms purchased this app and spent countless hours editing our playlists . Go figure, all of our music his disappeared . I would research different apps and avoid this one.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2019-10-15, version 1.5.0*

I cant download songs or edit songs

### 2/5 — Version 11.4 Doesnt Work

*2018-06-21, version 1.4.5*

I paid for the app. First thing I tried was clipping the song, but that didn't work.  I've notified the Developer. API problem that affected a previous version is back to haunt the app. He quickly responded...thanks.  I look forward to the update that address this problem. 

I'll update the rating when problem is addressed.

### 2/5 — Works sometimes

*2018-06-10*

When the app does work it’s great, however I’ve cut music to the exact place where it should start and stop and when you go to play that song it reverts back to the beginning of the song. And you cannot find a contact within Stoppage to voice these concern

**Developer response:** First, I am sorry I have not responded before this, somehow I missed your review.

Second, at the time you wrote your review a bug in the Apple API caused a problem with playing clips. I removed Stoppage from the App Store until the problem was fixed (took Apple over 6 months to address the issue).

I would ask that you give the current version of Stoppage another try. It should work as you expect now.

Also, you can send feedback if you tap the gear icon in the upper left of the main screen and select "Feedback/Questions"

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2018-05-27, version 1.4.5*

Used all season long for sons AA hockey games made a better experience for everyone ...best hockey game app out there

### 5/5 — One of the greatest app for scorekeeper

*2018-01-06, version 1.4.5*

This app is used by our local hockey league. No stress, new music every week!
Plus team developers are awesome to deal with, if you have any issues with the app.
Runs smoothly!!!

### 5/5 — Makes the games fun!

*2017-04-18*

I updated to Stoppage Pro, and enjoyed adding music to our games. One request: We need a way to locate missing songs. Occasionally iTunes removes and replaces a song on the device, and when that happens Stoppage can't find it any more. The worst part is if you have clipped it to start a certain point, you lose that data.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! If you get a moment could you provide a little more detail about the scenario you mention about iTunes removing/replacing a song?  I am not sure I understand.  If we can discuss it a little so that I understand it better perhaps I can find a way to alleviate it.  You can contact us via Settings gear->Feedback/Questions
