✓ Not goodThis app is expensive. I bought a song as an in app purchase, at £9.99,which is not cheap. I cannot transfer it to my other devices, or family share it. I am prompted to buy it again. The app only runs with screen on, unlike Spotify or other apps, using unnecessary battery life. I got around this by recording songs with voice recorder..PisnokateVersion: 2.1

✓ Download doesn’t workDownloaded scat pack 1 for $10. Didn’t download goes to an error message. When I contacted support they said it may be a memory issue… nope I have a tonne of free memory. I also have the latest model iPhone. It is definitely a bug with the app..LMD45Version: 2.11

✓ DisappointedOnly 5 tracks in purchase packs? Overpriced.NiokagirlVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Not priced or packaged properlyGreat idea, but practice packs should be by level, not singer. There is no point for a beginner to buy a pack with practice tracks beyond their ability. For the price, there should be more tracks in each practice package..ImaginegeorgiaVersion: 2.1

✓ Good concept but horrible UX designI love Michelle Weir and the *idea* of a scat education app, but unfortunately the clunky design is so bad as to make this almost unusable (instructions are hard to find, buttons use low contrast colors so text is hard to read… I could go on). I wondered if Michelle tried to develop it herself to forego the expense of a professional designer. But then I discovered in the app credits that it was designed by one “Leaf cutter inc” company. Ironically when I clicked on the link to learn more about them, it simply closed the app! Yikes. No QA testing either apparently. Maybe if Michelle can get a real professional to fix this design horror, I’ll pay the $$ to get the demos from all the fantastic singers. Meanwhile I’ll keep going through her other excellent resources..KagdiebsksgVersion: 2.11

✓ DisappointingI’ve been waiting for this app for months, since I teach vocal jazz and thought it would be a great practice tool for my students. However, the in-app purchases of “song packs” are priced so high (7 packs @ $10 each) that I can’t expect my students to purchase it for themselves. The song packs are “canned” Band-in-a-Box tracks, with professionals scatting over the computer-generated track. There’s only 5 tracks per pack, but you already get one from each pack for free in the sampler the app comes with - so really you’re only getting 4 tracks for your money. I would have loved to use the “call-and-response” tracks in my class as warmups, but since each song pack only includes 2 call-and-response tracks, I’d have to spend about $70 in in-app purchases to get a decent and varied selection to work with. Finally, I thought maybe I could use this in the car to scat along with myself on the way to work. Unfortunately, it doesn’t at the moment work correctly with Bluetooth audio. So, I’ve struck out there too. Two stars instead of one, because the pros doing the scatting are really some of the best vocal jazz performers and teachers on the planet. However, the pricing and organization of the song-packs is a deal-breaker. It would be a big improvement if they would a) provide more tracks for the money, b) allow you to purchase individual songs (for a student, buying a couple of tunes they really need would still be more compelling), and c) provide packs organized by track type (Etude, Call & Response, Exercise) rather than by singer. As it currently stands, it’s just not worth it..DrosboroVersion: 1.2.1
