Ratings and reviews

Overall, not bad and worth the one time cost. I only play bass some if that's not your jam some of these won't apply. Pros: Decent song library. Saving favorites is great. Video+ tabs. Cons: Not much love for alt, anime, or some metal genres. "Request backing track" button is just there for show. The syncing between the tab and music is unreliable 30% of the time and "out of sync" slider will has never consistently helped. Sometimes rebooting helps, often it doesn't. If this was fixed it's 5/5

I've used this app/service for a long time, paid the membership on my phone and everything. It's been the best practice aid. Recently though a lot of songs I've been trying to pull up have come up with "network errors" and I can't pull them up at all. It's about 75 percent of my favorited songs. I've reinstalled the app, cleared cache for it, force stopped it, even logged out to try the songs again to no luck. Hopping online for help only showed me other people have the same issue with no fix.

Used to be great, what happened? When I first started using Songster, it was great. But lately, possibly after a recent update (idk), the cursor is no longer synced to the audio (of any song I've tried recently), causing the main feature of the app to be anti-helpful. The ability to "re-sync" was made available, but after several tries to get it just right, the 10ms± simply isn't precise enough to sync the audio with the gui of the app. Please fix this issue & make this safe and effective again.
