Did not work for audible audiobook.

I love it. I need to speed up with my audio lecture and it fit perfect. I would appreciate it if this app support a shortcut to adjust playback speed

I listen to podcasts on my iPhone at 2x and I was looking to emulate that functionality on iTunes. This app works for that purpose …. errr…. kinda. A few things I have noticed: First, when I am listening at a faster speed, it almost sounds like the audio is playing twice in very quick succession. It is not smooth the way that things sound on iOS. Second, if I start opening settings dialogues (or whatever) in iTunes while I’m listening then the audio will keep skippng back by a few seconds for no reason. I say two starts because at the end of the day, the app works … but just barely. Show more

For some reason it will only work when I play music and does NOT work for podcasts (aka audio lectures) which is why I downloaded it.

This app does what it says it will and it does it effectively. That said, I downloaded this to speed up the play-back of my biochem lectures so I wouldn’t have to sit for an entire hour to re-listen to an entire lecture. However, anything faster than 1.75x is choppy and 2x+ is nearly indistinguishable/inaduible. Again, it works perfectly and effectively but just know that there are limits to its power. I really like that the pictch of the professor doesn’t change with speed increase or decrease (I was worried about havign to listen to Alvin and the Chipmunks at increased speeds). I have also played with my music using this app and have been pleasantly amused with the results… of course the humor I find in messing with my music could be the 2am studying binge speaking...

It’s my own fault; it says it right there up top, but I didn’t see it until I paid for it, and now when I try to uninstall the software, it says I don’t have the permissions to delete it. Please put up front, in caps, that it doesn’t work with Audible, because that’s a big motivator to buy this software, since neither Audible nor iTunes works properly with the audiobooks, and I was hoping for something that would work.

Simply put it does ABSOLUTLY NOTHING. I've tried it on 5 different computers and it does NOT work on any of them. *Update: I have since gotten this app to work with a audio book, but the wont do anything when it comes to podcasts. The Developer needs to remove his claims in regards to podcasts from the app description. I have tried this app while listening to dozens of podcasts and it does nothing with any of them. The developer does respond to support requests, but cannot figure out why his own app does not work. From my corispondave I have learned that I have tested his app on more systems then has.

I wrote a previous review, which for some reason never appeared here, reporting this application's failure to work in iTunes 11.1 I also submitted a support request to the publisher. Apparently they listened and acted. All good now. Show more

I love using this app, the update fixed any issues with 11.1 iTunes. I listen to a lot of podcasts and have the ability to speed up the playback saves me a lot of time. One of the best apps I've purchased for music and music playback. Show more

iTunes 11.1 on OSX 10.8.4. The app doesn't do anything once started. When I select a speed other than 1.0 (default), the app icon changes to "Loading…" and never does anything else. It's a nice idea, but doesn't do what it's supposed to do. Show more
