Saved a lot of $$$

Used it for my wedding last week in August, downloaded songs on my laptop synced them to my iphone, changed up the playlist to play approx every 4 fast songs to 1 slow song. Worked great!!!!!!! Love it prob wont ever use again but for only $5 when DJ quotes were hundreds saved a lot and got to download the playlist we wanted not including all the typical cheesy wedding songs. Highly recommend!!!

Crashes, horrible wedding music experience :(

Several times the music just stopped playing or randomly switched to different playlists. Wish I had just used the iPhone player.

We saved thousands on a wedding DJ (and were spared lame music selections) using this app. Hands down the most important tech tool we had in our wedding. Worked flawlessly, flowing music without a hitch between ceremony, cocktail hour, first dances, and whole reception.

Great way to save money

My husband and I loved using this app for music for our wedding reception. It saved money and sounded fantastic! I would use it again in a heartbeat!

Songs won't play

Most of the songs that I wanted to add are blocked. It was a complete waste of money as I won't be able to use it for my wedding.

Highly recommend

I used this app for my wedding and it was great! I like that you have to slide to start the next playlist so if you aren't ready yet, the current one can keep playing on repeat. I'm very happy with how everything turned out, and it was so much cheaper than a DJ!

Stable and responsive developer

I've been setting up my playlists and testing this app, and have found it to be very intuitive and includes everything I will need to make my music at my wedding cohesive, easy to execute, and most importantly save money. Never crashes, which is my worst fear. The developers are super responsive to questions too. Great app!

Very useful, well-executed tool

Overall, I am very happy with the app. It has made preparing playlists for our wedding reception much easier than I feared, has several very useful functions, and is aesthetically pleasing as well. A couple of features that I would have liked to have: 1) More flexibility with the cross-fade. Specifically, the ability to pick different crossfade durations for individual songs, since songs have different lead-in and fade-out times, and a 5-second fade that works well for one transition may leave an awkward pause on another transition. 2) The ability to fast-forward and rewind songs, rather than just skip ahead or skip back. This would allow the user to hear transitions between songs without having to listen to the entire song first. Otherwise, an excellent app. Thanks!

Good

I haven't tried this with my speakers yet, but it's been pretty painless setting up this app and playing back my playlists on my phone. While unnecessary to its function, I like that the app warns you of potential problems you might run into while using this, in the form of warnings in its Settings menu. They're things that you probably know to do, but may nevertheless forget when you're feeling a bit frazzled on your wedding day (i.e., turn on airplane mode so your music isn't interrupted, plug it in so you don't run out of battery, and mute the phone entirely when locked). Of course, this requires you to remember to consult the Settings, but at least you don't have to remember any other items. This app is very much a player, not an editor. If you go into it realizing this, then your experience will go more smoothly. For example, you can choose a song or a pre-made playlist for each section. You cannot, however, create playlists directly within this app, or -- my main gripe -- permanently edit existing playlists that you've chosen (you can edit during playback, but those changes don't stick). Instead, you must edit it in the iPhone's regular music app. Then you must select a different song or playlist, then re-select your edited one, in order for the changes to take effect. I can see how this might be a good thing (e.g., you forgot that your app playlists are tied to the iPhone playlists and you changed them), but the app should let you know that changes to the playlist were not updated, because I didn't find out about this until I ran through my playlists a couple times. In the same vein, you cannot fast forward a song to the end in order to quickly listen to its transition into the next song... This app pretty much expects you to have everything locked down before loading them up. Secondly, in the Music Plan, each section is numbered... And so is every "wait" period between each section. I don't think listing the "wait" is strictly necessary, since this is the app's default behavior, and the behavior of every single playlist I've ever seen (waiting after it ends; presumably, if you wanted it to play straight through, it would go on the same playlist). Moreover, the greyed out text and line separating it from the next section below are sufficient to identify it, so the numbers for each "wait" should be removed. For those who keep track of what number they're on, rather than strictly the name of the section (we may have named something that makes sense to us, but not necessarily the person working it on the day of), it just adds visual clutter, which is a personal pet peeve of mine. For example, I have 36 separate items with the waits. Admittedly, I'm sectioning- / labeling-happy, but I still only have 18 unique items. If I try to slide the next section forward too quickly, the music sometimes skips. There's no real way to tell what "too quickly" is, as the bar for sliding is already visible. If you slide back to the previous section, music automatically plays from the beginning of that playlist. It should give you the option of starting back right where you left off, because maybe you are the person who defeats the idiot-proofing abilities of this app... Just sayin'.

Great Job Steamclock Software

You have created a very nice clean application for weddings. I would like to see a feature where I can save the wedding, because I use the software to prepare for a wedding for my customers and it would be nice to be able to show to new customers.
