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. ### 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! ### 4/5 — Would love Apple Watch support! *2021-07-12, version 3.1.5* Great app. Been using it for years. But it would be much more useful if there was support for the Apple Watch. ### 2/5 — New version is SLOW *2021-06-23* Please fix the new update. I had the old version (1st one ever made) and managed to not update until today when it forced me to update . No it’s SO slow moving from one song to the other!! It’s frustrating!! I rather have the old version with no images!!! Please please go back to the old version. I need to have fast moving speed when changing songs to keep my class going. I may need to find a new app if this isn’t fixed… ### 3/5 — Stopped working *2021-06-03* It use to be that the app would just skip songs however this app stopped working altogether. I cannot play any songs and I cannot contact customer service. Im giving it 3 stars because it had worked at some point and perhaps it will start working again. If it does not I will be requesting a refund. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iPhone 11 *2020-10-11, version 3.1.5* Loved this app with my old phone. Now it won’t play anything from iTunes. ### 2/5 — Very disappointed *2020-09-22, version 3.1.5* This app says that it’ll let you save the tempo and as soon as you switch the song it completely changes your “locked” tempo. So disappointed because I wouldn’t have bought this app if I knew that. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2020-07-16* This app does NOT work with Apple Music. Can I get a refund? ### 1/5 — Вылетает *2020-05-15, version 3.1.5* Обновите приложение, при работе вылетает и останавливается Музыка, очень плохо во время тренировки ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY!!! ZERO STARS 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 *2020-04-25, version 3.1.5* I can’t play any of my songs!!! Literally just took my money!!!! DO NOT BUY!!! ### 2/5 — Use to love the app! Now it’s a pain! *2020-02-07* I use to love this app, but now not so much! It’s not compatible with the new phones. I’ve been using this app for over 5 years, I’ve recently got a new phone. And all of my older music will not convert. Only the things that are bought now will work, which is a pain when you’re teaching and using the app. Would love it if you would update and fix. ### 1/5 — Where Did The Large Slider Go!! *2020-01-27, version 3.1.5* How can we just install the old version with the large slider? Who needs a large album cover??? All the update did was ruin the GUI. ### 1/5 — Can’t sync *2020-01-04, version 3.1.5* The app can’t sync with your iTunes library if you’re using Apple Music. ### 2/5 — Skips songs *2019-12-31, version 3.1.5* I have loved this app, but recently it started skipping songs which is inconvenient when teaching a group fitness class and having to stop and restart the correct song. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2019-10-29, version 3.1.5* I can’t keep them locked at what I want the songs to be at. They keep going to a different BPm on their own. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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。 ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-11-18* Loved this app before now can’t add music. Totally wasted my money don’t buy ### 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 ### 1/5 — Useless! *2021-09-21, version 3.1.5* What a pointless app! Not compatible with Apple Music. 👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Won’t play with iTunes library *2021-07-20, version 3.1.5* I’ve tried everything to get this to work with my iTunes library but it won’t sync my music due to protected DRM Tracks so without spending a fortune to stop that, what’s the point? Please feel free to let me know if there is a way around it👍🏻 ### 1/5 — Awful interface *2021-04-17, version 3.1.5* I cant touch the increase tempo button. You need little fingers in order to do so. When you are on the bike at 40k/h you need big control buttons any distraction could be disaster. This interface was designed by an office person, not a runner or biker. He doesnt understand the ouside world. ### 1/5 — Tempo slows as tracks progress & cuts cuts randomly *2021-03-27, version 3.1.5* I use this app for a while to teach cardio classes. It worked for a while and then all of a sudden one day the music just stops when it moves to the next track after about five seconds. I deleted the playlist, I force closed the app,I uninstalled and reinstalled the app — and nothing works. Don’t waste your time. Use power music now ### 1/5 — Ruined a Great App *2021-03-15, version 3.1.5* I wonder if LoLo reads the recent reviews about this app. I emailed them a couple of months ago complaining about how unstable the app has become. They wrote back that they didn’t develop the app, they purchased it and nobody else is complaining. This app was very dear to my heart for many years but it’s ruined now. The sad thing is that no competitors exit. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work with Apple Music *2021-01-06, version 3.1.5* Bought this app as I thought it would work with songs from Apple Music but it doesn't. I plan to request a refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing App!! *2021-05-21* The truth is that I was quite sceptical about purchasing this app based on some of the reviews. However, I really wanted to mix and match some playlists from Yes!Fitness for my classes and the app was my only hope. I was also VERY impressed with the outstanding customer service and support that I got from Yes!Music. My emails were answered within hours and the rep offered to help me if I had any issues with the app. So... I purchased the app and it was very easy to use. I am not very good with technology so, if I could figure out how to put a playlist together, then anyone can. The songs flow seamlessly from one to the next. I highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-09-10, version 3.1.5* Love love love this app works well on my 10xMax Thanks for creating this app. ### 5/5 — Perfect for dance classes *2019-01-01* As I dance teacher, I must have the ability to slow down, and slowly speed up, songs at my whim. This app is perfect for this. Just add the song I need and play it as many times as I want to at different speeds. I can even slow it down or speed it up while the song is playing! Perfect for me. ### 5/5 — Could Not Imagine Teaching Without This App *2018-12-15, version 3.1.4* I have been using this app for nearly four years in my Cycling classes. It’s been nothing less than extraordinary. Have you ever wished a song was just a bit faster or slower without the quality of the vocals being affected? This app does this. You cannot use Spotify, Apple Music, or other services. You can only use music you purchase through sources like ITunes. ### 5/5 — Apple Watch compatibility *2018-02-22, version 3.1.4* Please make an Apple Watch version!! ### 5/5 — Funciona muy bien *2017-07-20, version 3.1.3* Simplemente funciona muy bien, fácil de importar la música y para clases grupales Fitness muy útil! ### 5/5 — FINALLY!!!!!! *2017-05-25* As an Instructor for almost 30yrs. I thought CD's were great! Then the scratches and the burning and then no more CD players. All iPod/phone playing was born. If your music was a little slow...too bad so sad. Can't use it. Can't pitch it up! This App is awesome! It has opened my virtual music box up and re-invigorated all my classes! Thank you! September Christos ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-02-21, version 3.1.3* I needed an app to change the bpm for fitness. This works a treat. Easy to add music from library and edit and save playlists. I have used for about 2 years and I could not work without it.😀 ### 5/5 — Excellent app for group X instructors *2017-02-17, version 3.1.3* I was reluctant to give up my CDs because the CD player had a pitch control. With this app I don't need the CDs anymore. It really works seamlessly. It's an excellent app. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what I need. Great app *2016-12-04, version 3.1.3* I was looking for an app that could play my playlists at a consistent BPM and this is perfect for what I need. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
