The app looks interesting on first blush and also seems to have some interesting features but unfortunately it does not work with Apple Music. You can select songs or select playlists but it will not find compatible music so it just won’t work. This one is a waste of dollars. It might work if you have some other media player or upload music to it but I use Apple Music and iTunes. No luck. Show more

Really great idea but if I can’t use my library I’ve wasted my money. Also could not find a “contact developer” to ask questions.

A *must have* tool for ballroom dancers. Easy to setup, easy to use. Handles all the rounds work for me. Takes all the work out of 10min rounds (other than the dancing of course). Show more

I have been using this app for a little less than a year now. I continue to find new uses for it and I have shared it with my dance group. The versatility of the program makes it extremely customizable for any style of dance, International Ballroom, International Latin, American Smooth, and American Rhythm are already predefined and I have added a multitude of dances that fall in the minors group. As one previous reviewer has stated, it is possible to setup a practice party list of random selections using playlists, random songs using genres, specific songs or a combination of all three. I was able to create a set of match heats that distinguished between bronze and silver tempo by adjusting the targeted BPM of the heat. It was nothing less than outstanding! I would like to address one other reviewers comments regarding the developer of the software. He has been very responsive and helpful on more than one occasion as I was learning the functions of the program. He has always been receptive to requests and continues to improve the product based upon feedback from various users. Since I have had direct interaction with this person, I can say first hand that he is professional and courteous. Show more

I coach a team. Been using this app for about a year now. I use this to play simulation rounds. Just push play and it takes care of itself. Once I upgraded to the paid version, I even made custom emcee announcements that play between songs. I also use this app to play the weekly dance party. I even used it to play music for a parade where we needed one random song and one feature song alternating for an hour. You will need to organize your music into playlists by genre. Show more

This app is great! It has everything I want for practicing competitive rounds. The developer is very responsive and has quickly added and modified features as requested. (Well, he was. I haven't had a request or complaint for a few years now!) Show more

It works well and is very versatile. Not terribly intuitive to program, but with some experimentation I was able to create the sessions I wanted with the songs I wanted. Very useful for general dance practice and for competition practice. Show more

Superb app to practice for ballroom comps. Can set random intervals with random music selections. Absolutely outstanding and we'll worth the money.

So excited to have found this app. It will be perfect for working with my competitive students and professional partner!

This app helps us practicing finals without being distracted for changing the music. It helps us to get a feel for how long each dance will last at the competition. Very useful! The app works reliably and is easy to use. I cannot think of anything else it should do. Show more

Everything I was ever looking for in a rounds app. Love it!

Let me be clear: this app does what it says it will do very well. As a piece of technology, I would highly recommend it. Furthermore, **the developer generally does a good job at responding to problems. The reason it gets 1 star is because the developer pressures customers to delete any review that rates this app low. This rating is to make things even. Look for yourself at this interaction on Facebook between the developer and a customer who had bought the product, after the customer wrote a review stating the product was glitching: Olaf: "How can I help you identify the problem?" BCT: "A bit too late for that. I will look into this problem if someone else encounters it, and actually asks for help BEFORE deciding on leaving a negative review." His justification? "right now, your review is hurting my business” After that, he pressured the customer to remove his negative review, and only then proceeded to help him with his problem. When there was outrage on Facebook, the developer replied that the comments against his customer service "have not made me feel any different about it.” That is why he is getting 1 star. Show more

This is a good concept, but the execution is pretty poor. You can't select songs you want for a round, as the app selects them randomly. The interface is ridiculously awkward. And you can't create multiple lists (i.e. one Latin, one Standard). So I find it easier to just creat competition playlists as before. Show more

Not bad :) Simple enough, love the individual song durations feature. Perfect for rounds!

The app does exactly what it claims, taking care of picking random music out of your playlists for setting up rounds. This would be very useful for dress rehearsals especially, I'd imagine. The only thing lacking is the ability to manipulate the songs during the "competition mode" but other than that, it's wonderful. Show more

I was very disappointed there was no rhythm or smooth.
