Very nice app!
I enjoy this app. It's fun to see which composer's birthday is on the current day. Thanks!
Good, but not great.
I was looking for something to use in my classroom so the students will be ready for music. While the little blurbs are great I'm beginning to agree with other reviewers. There should definitely be an option to see upcoming composers. Death dates would also be great as well as a photo of what the composer looks like (especially for those less popular).
