Awesome!!

This is the best cassette app ever! It has the play button and replay button it has every but.. It would be cool if it had two sides but it is a pretty good app.. After all, IT'S FREE!!

Works great when it works , . . . BUT . . .

It is not possible for me to read the absolutely ridiculously faint and tiny controls, even with my new glasses. So it is not usable. I would certainly buy it, if I could read it because it works fine, if you can find and hit the right button, but I can't read it. (The woman who says it doesn't work might not have found the right buttons.) There's a lot of wasted graphic space. You can fix this!
