Appmuse

I can’t even open iTunes to upload songs to the pad.

Works great. Does not work with Apple or Amazon Music. Downloaded songs won’t show up as able to add to cart. You have to actually buy the song (which I don’t really buy songs anymore with a music subscription). But for $1.29 a song, I pay for the ones I use on this, not too big of a deal, but would be a great update. Show more

20-year tenured broadcaster here. I was looking for something to run a radio show after iJingle discontinued support for their App. SoundByte is very functional but definitely an older program. I wonder if the developer is still watching comments and enhancing the program. The age of the product makes some features difficult to use. Suggestions for developer: 1) Loading to the iPad from a computer isn’t too difficult, but selection of items from the “SoundFile” is aggravating because the list isn’t alphabetized. Why isn’t there a sort button? Or at a minimum a default alpha sort? 2) Default setting for cart color - add a default in the SETUP screen. 3) The Cart Color selector for each cart doesn’t seem to hold the customer cart color. The color “wheel” is difficult to use and match color from cart-to-cart. It would be easier if a MS PowerPoint color “grid” was present instead of the older-style wheel. 4) There is no backup and restore capability. I’m paranoid I’ll have to spend another 4 hours loading up files and custom-naming them if something goes wrong. 5) The “Cart Rate” setting distorts the quality of the playback. Modern digital manipulation of song files don’t do that. Why offer the feature if it’s not functional? 6) There’s no “Exit” button. Yes I know how to close an iPad app…but without a backup function, I’m deathly afraid of losing something. Thanks for listening. I’m hoping there may be updates coming sometime soon. Show more

When it worked, it was great.

And I love it. Very easy to use. Updates always address most glitches. My only complaint is how some albums won’t load. Rare, but it happens. Almost perfect soundboard.

Come on. Is this a joke. Fix it please. Fully crashes.

The day I’m typing this, the app crashes if the user taps either Setup or Music Library on iPhone 13. Will update my review when the app functions. Devs, please also update to allow adaptive resolution — it looks like it was made to fit an iPhone 6, and this app can really make use of the new real estate that came with modern iPhones. I want to like this. Please update, devs. Show more

I have been using this app for years. It has always been rock solid. Recently updated … oops crashes constantly when going to cart setup. Recently updated again (today 13-Jul-2022) in hopes that bug was resolved…. Oops crashed instantly. Just to confirm I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. C R A S H. Please resolve. Note - my current rating is for this (current version) I’d give the pre-updates app 5 stars. Show more

Please fix. Still crashes on music library pick in cart

I’ve been using the PC version in the theater for years and really love it. Now using the iPhone version when I need sounds in a quick/emergency situation. Just need to figure out where it hides the files…so I can delete a couple of dupes. Show more

Crashes every time I try to add music

Does not work AT ALL!!! Save your $5!!!!

I’ve used this for sporting events for 3 or 4 years now and it’s awesome! So simple to setup and use. I’ve never had a single issue. 1,000% suggest it to anyone!! Show more

The app does a great job of making it easy to set up cartridges very similar to if you were operating a live broadcast or for work as a disc jockey. What is lacking is the ability to easily format the colors and fonts for carts. It is a lot of repetitive work to constantly change the colors, and to control color changes for carts that have been played. It would be nice to also be able to change fonts. Overall I highly recommend the app, but hope the developers do a better job with the formatting options that are available. Show more

I have been using this application for years and find it irreplaceable for many theatre, radio station projects and television productions. I’m surprised how many professionals have never heard of Sound Byte. When I show them how powerful it is they are wide-eyed and ask “Where can I get this, and how much does it cost?” When I tell them it’s free they think I’m joking. You have to give it a try. You won’t be sorry. Hats off to the Black Cat Systems folks for their great support and unending efforts to bring it to iOS devices. Great track record, team. Show more

This is a great app and have loved and used it for years and recommended it to so many people! With the update to 13.6.1 the app no longer works. It opens but the only screen response is to move between carts. It will. It play any songs. So make sure you have a phone or iPad running something other that 13.6.1 or later before you drop the cash for this. (Sept 2020). Looks like the app hasn’t had an update in 4 years so I’m not expecting this to be resolved. Show more

I bought this software for my iPad and for my Mac. The Mac version works pretty good but the iPad version is junk. It depends on Apple’s "Music” application to get clip in but that application in turn is a pain in the neck. Particularly if you have huge collection of sound effects CDs like I do. It would be great if you could bring in the clips through an IP address, Amazon S3 or Dropbox. I’ll stick to the free version of Soundboard. Show more

What is going on here?

It now crashes when I attempt to add music from my library.

Is there a way to play .wav files? I’m using this on an iPad and the .wav files I need are not showing up. Please help!
