However, I found that if I switched my phone to airplane mode, the crashes stop completely. ### 5/5 — Easy to use & Slick *2016-11-16, version 1.2* Works like it should. Simple, clean, with some fun animations. Love the metronome loading indicator! ### 3/5 — Works on old phone *2016-07-02, version 1.0* Immediately crashes on iPhone 5S, so I tried it on my iPhone 3GS, and it works perfectly. ### 1/5 — Wish It Would Work *2016-06-16, version 1.0* Downloaded it but it crashes as soon as it's opened. Great idea though. ### 1/5 — They forgot to rebuilt the app with the Highball rebuild *2016-05-20, version 1.0* This app has no songs, and crashes. I suspect they forgot about it when they rebuilt the Highball. Which is a shame, because I’d like to come in prepared. Come on Alamo, you can fix this. ### 1/5 — Immediately Crashes *2016-05-08, version 1.0* Can't even open it without it crashing after installing it. ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2016-04-13, version 1.0* App crashes immediately after I launch it. It has not worked once. Bummer. ### 1/5 — Used to be the best thing about highball *2016-03-26, version 1.0* Broken. Junk. Abandoned. ### 1/5 — Unusable, Broken *2016-02-18, version 1.0* App crashes on launch. Useless. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2015-12-19, version 1.0* I can't even open the app. It crashes every time I try. ## Frequently asked questions about The Highball ### What does The Highball app do?
