App does import complete abc collection files properly. Not all abc tunes get imported.

Great!

It’s good to see improvements implemented.

Does everything I want. From time to time there are syntax issues with tunes that come from thesession.org that have to be addressed Thanks

Brilliant!

This is the most practical app for lovers of Irish music who want to read along with or just play the score. Slow it down or speed it up. Thank you!

Fantastic

Exactly what I was looking for. Big song book plus audio playback to help me learn to read notation. Simple to use and easy to read. Thanks!

Handy for Highland Pipers Too

I converted all our Band tunes from BWW to ABC and loaded them into The Craic. It is great having all our tunes on-tap as I memorize them. The playback is even useful for getting the feel of new tunes.

Save your money, too difficult for usage!

Been using this for the last few years as I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of Old Time fiddle music. So many tunes to learn and so little time... Love the ability to do online searches and download straight from the program. Love having an easily portable memory bank cause I sure can’t remember all these tunes. Love being able to alter notes, add bowings, fingerings, ornamentations. Love being able to save a PDF or print it out to share with friends. My only issue is when I’m editing first and second endings, I often do something that makes the program freeze up. But it’s not the end of the world. I just close out the program and boot it up again.

Great except one thing

I love this app for learning tunes and keeping up my tune library. I only wish there was a way to sync with iCloud so that when I add a tune on my iPad, it is automatically in my iPhone’s version of the app the next time I open it too instead of manually adding it there also.

No bagpipe option

I just bought it for bagpipes and it’s not in the instrument selection.
