Customer Reviews
Why not get free version?
Having forked out 7 dollars I expected more premium features, but it's really just ads free. From the description I thought there would be a recommendation engine of music for me, but it's the same as the free version.
Bottom line: until this premium version gets more features, don't buy. Just get the free version
I will change my ratings once some true premium features are added
Really Great
This is a really nice app, but it's also apparent that this is a developer that cares. After 3 years they are still patching and upgrading the app. That's something that I really appreciate.
Relentlessly Awesome
I love this app as it helps me find more about the music I love, and keep a list of my new favorites. It works better than the competition, and I bet that has something to do with the fact that this app is constantly receiving useful updates. This app is a shining example of what happens when developers don't stop making their app better Thanks guys, keep it the good work!
