Good app...some items for the next update wish list... – Do Re Mi Voice Training Review

I am a voice/music theory/multiple instrument teacher to supplement my income as a recording artist/singer songwriter/record producer and engineer. I work with kids and adults ranging in age from 4 to 75. The bulk of my teaching is voice. I am a passable keyboard player, and I used to play scales while my students warmed up. I have an app that does that now, (not this one, but it would be cool if that was integrated. ;-) so I can focus on my student better, watching their breathing, etc. The more I am able to watch and listen, I notice more instances of students going flat and/or sharp. When I make a note of it, and bring it up during the session, a good deal of them flat out deny singing that way. I record all of my lessons, but even on playback, sometimes the student will not hear where they are going flat. This application is SO good for those students, because while their warm up hasn't changed, they can see the place where they slipped out of tune. It is an excellent tool to teach with, and the students love it, because it is more instructive than me saying, "You were flat there in the 7th measure." That's great, but they sang it that way because they thought it was correct, and on recording, they hear it as correct. With this app, all doubt is removed, and it is time to work on the parts that didn't work, instead of trying to convince them that they did, indeed, slip out of tune. What I'd love to see on this app: Playback! I searched and searched, and I still believe that just MAYbe I am missing it! There is a recording function, so...why wouldn't there be a playback? I have to believe it just isn't there, or I'm blind as a bat, and someone will email me and tell me so. I'm using an iPad 2 with the upgraded OS, in case that matters. If I'm not missing it, and it's just not there, it would be so great not to have to try to sync up the recording I made independently of the app TO the app...a bit of a waste of time. Scrolling back to the beginning...I have tried and tried, but I can't seem to get the app to scroll back. Again, I feel like I'm missing something, but there are no instructions on the app that I can find, and scrolling doesn't seem to be something that is available. Those are the two big things that come to mind. I would gladly pay $30 or more for this app if it had those features. It is one of very few tools I have found in the app store that I find indispensable while teaching. Thank you!
