It doesn't show any songs. Got my hopes up for nothing. :-/ ### 1/5 — The site is broken, will not load song content *2015-06-12, version 1.0* Tech support for the Drafthouse Group: Heads Up! This app is currently useless, it cannot upload the list of songs off your website. And, the website's song list is also unavailable. You guys have an issue to address. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2015-04-24* Song list is empty ### 1/5 — Worthless *2015-04-16, version 1.0* It's a great idea for an app, but I've downloaded it multiple times trying to get it to work, and it never does. None of the songs show up ever. It just doesn't function. ### 1/5 — Never Works Properly *2015-02-28, version 1.0* The first time I downloaded it (months ago) I was able to look at songs and save things, but it crashed frequently, and a lot of the songs that were on the app were not on the machine at Highball, and vis versa. I deleted it. I downloaded it again just now (still on an iPhone 4s), and now there are no songs. :( ### 1/5 — Need update STAT *2015-02-21, version 1.0* This app is not formatted for iPhone 6. I'm guessing that's also why none of the songs will come up, even when trying to view them sorted by groups, etc. Useless. :( ### 1/5 — Useless *2015-01-22, version 1.0* No songs load! Please fix this! It would be totally awesome! ### 1/5 — Doesn't even work *2015-01-04, version 1.0* Doesn't crash for me like for others, but while using this at the highball it never actually returned any songs. Loading songs came back empty. Searching for songs came back empty. There were groups to choose from but no songs in any of them. Worthless. ### 1/5 — Crashes on every search...useless *2014-12-05, version 1.0* I like the concept of this app but it did not work at all. It crashed when I tried to do anything. App makers need to debug this so it becomes worthwhile to take up space on my phone. ### 1/5 — Crashes a lot *2014-09-29, version 1.0* It's nice that they put this out but it crashes so often it's almost not even worth using. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frequent crashes unless airplane mode turned on *2018-04-15, version 1.2* App is unusable due to frequent crashes. However, I found that if I switched my phone to airplane mode, the crashes stop completely. ### 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. ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2015-10-27, version 1.0* Crashes immediately after opening ### 1/5 — Grrr *2015-10-16, version 1.0* No songs listed ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Great idea *2012-03-09, version 1.0* Soooooo perfect! You can search on your phone whenever you want and star a song to be added to your favorites. Think of a song randomly? The highball will probably have it on their list!!! It also helps when you're in the karaoke room and there aren't enough song books to go around Only con is that there aren't enough Genre selections. Awesome app. ### 5/5 — The highball is amazing *2010-12-24, version 1.0* And this app is heaven. Show me one other karaoke with it's own app! ### 5/5 — Streamlined *2010-08-08, version 0* Used this at the highball last night. Totally sreamlined the process and allowed us 4.26 extra songs per hour! ### 5/5 — I Can Sing the Body Electric *2010-07-14, version 0* I never thought a god existed but clearly one does because I just installed his app on my iPhone. ### 5/5 — Dreams do come true! *2010-07-13, version 0* Now I can plan my song lists ahead of time with friends! I know what I'm doing for Happy Hour today! They're all sorted by either Artist or Song and you can star the ones you like and add to favorites. What a great idea! ### 4/5 — Great app, a small step from being awesome *2011-12-01, version 1.0* Cool app! I'd love to see them add a calendar of highball events to it. ### 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. ### 2/5 — App Not Working! *2015-07-22, version 1.0* The App is not showing any songs or artists. Searching a specific song or artist does not provide any results. It is also crashing a lot. Seems like an update needs to be made. It's a great idea and could be useful, but needs some developer attention stat! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
