### 1/5 — 突然ＢＰＭがかわった

*2025-01-27*

今までしっかりつかえていましたが…突然レッスン中に、ＢＰＭか早くなったり、遅くなったりと使えなくなり話になりませんでした。

### 4/5 — 日本語

*2023-10-12*

日本語がないので、何となくで設定してます。
一応、使えてますが、日本語あれば良いですねー。

### 2/5 — Please fix!

*2023-04-11, version 3.1.5*

I’ve used this app for so many years without a problem.  This last update has me frustrated.  What did you do?!

### 3/5 — エアロビクスインストラクター

*2023-01-18*

レッスンで使っています。ピッチが変えられるのはとてもありがたいです。アルバム表示がたまに違うものになるので改善して欲しいです。Apple Watchにも対応してください。

### 2/5 — Why is it not showing up on my screen ?

*2022-12-03, version 3.1.5*

Not showing up in my Home Screen? Like other apps do when you download it. Since you connected to Apple Music or iTunes it makes it harder for me to link my fitness workout music to it? I use it to teach fitness classes and it is great to do Tabatas with it because I can change the tempo slower or faster now I can’t access anything even before I could use other music or fitness music to add to y playlist now I can’t ? The original version was so much better.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-11-18*

Loved this app before now can’t add music.  Totally wasted my money don’t buy

### 3/5 — Not great

*2022-08-24, version 3.1.5*

Had the old version from the day it was created and never had a problem. Updated version changes bpm in the middle of premixed instructor music.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work consistently

*2022-03-27*

I have use this app for several years in my group exercise classes. And most recently just to work out at home. And I cannot tell you how many times I go to the app and all my music is gone and I have to re-download everything. Right now I’m trying to add a song that I bought on iTunes twice and it won’t allow me to add it but I’ve used it in the app before. Tons of bugs don’t know if there’s any fixes along the way. Just don’t rely on it. It works great when it works!

### 1/5 — Lacks obvious features

*2022-01-22, version 3.1.5*

Apparently there’s no way to make it repeat the same song. It seems to always go to the next song without a pause. Why lea be out such a common feature? Makes it unusable for me.

### 1/5 — 使えなくなりました。

*2021-11-25*

突然　プレイリストと同期できなくなり
使えなくなりました
