I really like the app, but when there is an issue there is zero assistance. ### 3/5 — Love but has issues *2022-09-11, version 3.1.4* App keeps crashing! Currently not able to use. Please update. It has worked great in the past. ### 2/5 — Too expensive *2019-06-26, version 3.1* When I saw your app, I liked it. I paid £50 for the app add to the songs that i bought last year. But, I went back to buy a few songs but they are too expensive. And app doesn’t work well on my iPad. God bless. ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2018-04-15, version 3.1* For the tech challenged musicians/worship leader, this is a great solution. It is easy the use and modify the songs and song sets. For a reasonable monthly fee, you can upload custom songs and loops. ### 3/5 — Please update!!!!! *2018-04-11, version 3.1* This app is awesome and obviously there are frequent users but it needs a stability update. I’ve had it crash during a few rehearsals by myself and it scares me to think that might happen in worship. I hope someone still monitors this thread and you guys can develop it. ### 4/5 — Great for Small Churches *2017-10-22, version 3.1* I use this in our small church and it works great. When I have a guitarist, I can mute that instrument. When I am leading and know I won’t be able to devote my attention to keyboard, I can turn that layer on. The price of the songs seems reasonable, but it adds up. The same songs in multi tracks format ranges from $10 to $25 on other sites. The most I have seen in this app so far is $9.99. PLEASE add an auto login option. It is a pain and a distraction to have to login each time I open the app. It makes me sweat when I am on stage and I hope that my finder hits that login button in just the right spot. ### 4/5 — Password reset?? *2017-08-27, version 3.1* I have not used the app in a while due to live music. However I have forgotten my password and want to reset it. How do I do so? ### 3/5 — Reset password *2017-06-08, version 3.1* How can I reset my password? I haven't used the app in awhile and don't remember my password. ### 1/5 — Useless *2016-08-27, version 3.0.4* Always saying "connection Failure" when creating account to start using it ### 4/5 — Good start!! *2016-03-13, version 3.0.4* This has been a useful tool, however it's missing 2 key ingredients, namely displaying the chords plus the lyrics (in app) as the song is scrolling along. This might be a iPad only feature as it would take up screen real estate but it would be so helpful. I found myself annoyed when chords found from different sites didn't quite match the ones in app, perhaps due to variations (relative minor chords being played instead of major for instance) bringing chords in app would make it a one stop shop and make sure things matched perfectly to the recording. Also found that when using this with other singers who didn't have time to practice with the app or didn't have iPhones etc. They had no idea where to come in. Please add lycrics so that singers know when and what to sing ### 2/5 — Unclear *2016-03-01, version 3.0.4* It's a bit unclear when it comes to instructions. ### 2/5 — Crash crash *2015-12-05, version 3.0.4* Won't even open on iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 9.1. Seems to work on the iPad. ### 2/5 — Don't waste your time *2015-11-14, version 2.0.10* This app used to work really well and all of a sudden, the play button has disappeared. It has really been a problem for us, as we are a small church and used Band In Hand almost every Sunday. Now it's useless. Bought a bunch of songs that we cannot use. Oh yeah, and don't try to use their "contact" tab, I tried that too, and absoluetly "no reply." Not a good way to sell your product. ### 4/5 — Pretty good. *2015-05-24, version 2.0.8* I don't know why people are complaining about the price per song. If you look up any loop website, they are usually $20-30 per song, so this isn't bad. And $9 a song isn't much for someone who is serious about worship music stuff. And the low price kinda explains some of the lower quality samples.. ### 3/5 — Great idea but ... *2015-05-03, version 2.0.8* Dang, the downloads a very cost-prohibitive. ### 4/5 — Love this App but need help asap... *2015-04-15, version 2.0.8* This app is great and was working great on my iPhone AND my iPad, then it updated and now I cannot log into my account on my iPhone. I used both iPhone and iPad to run the app for the longest time and now can only use my iPad. I have $76 invested in the app and songs so far and I NEED to be able to use both devices. Someone please fix this problem!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t reset the password *2025-11-18, version 3.1.7* Can’t reset the password ### 1/5 — Cannot register for free account *2023-10-01, version 3.1.4* I have tried to sign up for this app and it continues to say connection failed ### 1/5 — Supported? There are no updates in the last two years *2023-09-24, version 3.1.4* Is this app still being supported? I don’t want to buy into this system and have it forever break the next time an Apple update deprecates one of the subsystems on which it depends. There are no recent updates and there are no reviews beyond two years ago. Plus there don’t seem to be any recent developer comments. If someone responds I’ll try it out and write a real review and rating. Please advise. ### 1/5 — Still waiting again *2022-03-25, version 3.1.4* Need help. ### 1/5 — Current update super buggy! *2021-07-11, version 3.1.3* In addition to content not currently being available for download, my own tracks still won’t sync through the subscription-based service, and the current update crashes the app about 90 seconds into any song. Does MediaShout just not want anyone to use this app anymore? I guess it’s an acoustic set for worship tomorrow. ### 1/5 — Poor Customer Service *2021-06-10, version 3.1.1* For almost 2 months now, paid account holders have been unable to download songs. There has been no communication update nor talk of a timeline when this service will be back online. The Paying customer will still have to wait for this service, but they have no delay taking our money. Hopefully, soon, we can have some resolution. ### 1/5 — Trial isn’t even helpful *2021-06-03, version 3.1.1* What a let down. The trial version is so limited you can’t even start to actually see how it works. Also, you have to purchase for the basic click track! ### 1/5 — App Does not work *2018-09-28, version 3.1* All mine does is say rotate device to access mixer I try to rotate it but does not work. Don’t wast your time... ### 1/5 — Worst *2017-11-14, version 3.1* Everything that you want/ need to make his app work needs to be purchased. A simple metronome on this app needs to be bought at he price of $1.99 which I think is over priced for a simple click on each beat. When you first download you have to again download another song just so you can do anything on the app. I hope my review helps you so that you don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — App won't even let me login *2016-11-20, version 3.0.4* Been trying to login for months to try app... No success... No support nothing!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A great worship accompany app!!! *2018-07-30, version 3.1* I downloaded the app yesterday...and already up and running. The program was fairly intuitive, and easy to navigate. Just remember to save your settings by pushing the "download" button, or else you'll be using the unedited versions of the song. That was the trickiest part for me...but once I figured out the nuisances of the app....it was a breeze. ### 5/5 — RAPIDLY FIXED *2016-10-03, version 3.0.4* THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE APP BUT I CALLED THEM AND HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED IMMEDIATELY. NO THAT IS SERVICE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND GBU ALL ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2015-12-18, version 3.0.4* I like the new version much better but I would like to see if we can be able to get vocal background in all the songs and if you can put the tempo up or down like you did for the key change. The best app ever ### 5/5 — Cannot Play *2015-10-24, version 2.0.10* I grabbed this app because I thought it would be a nice way for me to practice with some background accompaniment. I still believe that. However, I have found that I am unable to play the music. In your screenshots I see the blue buttons for play and tempo adjustments, etc. - but I just have a grey bar with nothing on it. I have power cycled as well as updated to latest 9.1 iOS. I would love to try it out but cannot. ### 5/5 — Terrible *2015-04-03, version 2.0.8* this app is great at being terrible! 10 out of 10! Best Way to waste money! The prices are amazingly low at only $9.00 a song! ### 5/5 — God's gift to church software *2015-03-02, version 2.0.8* This is a great app! A must have for any worship leaders out there! ### 5/5 — Great app. *2014-08-26, version 2.0.1* Super awesome and really easy to use. ### 5/5 — Great for small church *2014-03-09, version 1.6.31* I have been using this for several months now. We use it in our worship services. We don't have a worship band so this adds to the fullness of the music. I'm not sure what the problem is for multiple devices. I use it on the church's iPad and my own. I do agree that the prices are kind of high on some songs. Fortunately they have bundles and some $4-7 songs. ### 5/5 — Great *2014-02-09, version 1.6.31* It is freaking great for my worship ministry great job ### 5/5 — Great App!!!! *2013-12-28, version 1.6.30* We needed extra "filler" instruments to create that full bodied sound and we got them with this app! It really delivers! Can't wait for more songs!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
