### 1/5 — No longer works with AUM

*2024-02-24*

It worked well for a while then suddenly two weeks ago it stopped playing videos while using with AUM as an audio unit. I’ve tried unsuccessfully to reach the developer to report this bug. It works fine as a stand alone player.

### 2/5 — Very buggy but works well

*2024-02-22*

For the most part it works but it’s constantly bugging out and not playing videos.

### 5/5 — Read this

*2023-02-20, version 1.0.11*

IMPoRTANt!!! Read bottom if having issues.

After watching a YouTube video about split screen using Koala and an app called Tube AU I found this and bought it thinking it was the same. It’s not, that other app was ended. This is made by someone else.

Anyway, it didn’t show up in my list of AUs at first so I was about to refund it, but instead just closed all music apps and powered iPad on and off. After that it shows up in LoopyPro and worked flawlessly. Don’t need Audiobus, just use AUM or LoopyPro. Great app!

### 5/5 — Yaaaaaaaaaas

*2022-06-25, version 1.0.4*

Awesome. Split screen with Koala and Audiobus and fly to the moon. Thank you, devs. Thank you
