### 1/5 — Silent app.

*2013-12-08*

Can you fix this? No audio.

### 1/5 — May as well just use Wikipedia

*2012-09-16*

A bunch of cut and paste directly from Wikipedia, this app says absolutely nothing original about the uniqueness of these great artists beyond what you can look up for free on the Internet. If anything, this app should be free. Don't waste 3 dollars on this. If it were possible I'd give this app zero stars.
