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. -- Hawks-Eye!, 2022-01-15 ### ***-- "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. -- mountainflutist, 2022-01-01 ### *---- "No bagpipe option" I just bought it for bagpipes and it’s not in the instrument selection. -- istuart45, 2020-08-09 ### ***** "Great App got better" I started with the old app and loved that I could take my new tunes with me on my phone to learn and practice anywhere. The new features made it that much easier. Now I can hear the tunes “at speed” (as I’d eventually play them) with the note stress feature. I’m also using it on my iPad to notate as well. Bravo Macaulay! -- D_Whistle, 2019-08-01 ### ***** "Well designed and well organized" I have been using this ABC player, version 2.1, for many months, and strongly recommend it. It is simple and easy to use. It is easy to add tunes to your library, either from the web, or by cut-and-paste from email, or manually by keyboard. The smart search makes it easy to find tunes in your library or on the web. The search will find partial matches as you type, and will match on any words in any title tag (T in ABC notation). I have many tunes with two title tags, where the second tag is the subtitle, and it is very handy to search across all titles and subtitles. When playing a tune, the app will use the tempo specified in the ABC notation (the Q tag), which means you don’t need to fuss with the slider to adjust the tempo. I love that feature! If the tune doesn’t have a tempo specified, you can always use the slider. (One nice improvement would be to have a bigger slider, and I understand that is coming in another release. ) It is easy to email a tune to someone, open a tune as a PDF, open it as ABC notation for editing, or print it. Overall, it’s a great app. Larry Hohm, Seattle -- reviewer98103, 2019-07-22 ### ***** "Simple, Functional, and Effective" This is a simple, functional, and effective app for finding, learning, and editing traditional tunes in abc notation. -- Groovetown, 2018-11-06 ### ***** "It’s back! Excellent!" Wil made a quick recovery and the app is back to it’s full glory. Now to poke around and look for any new goodies! -- Pixelpshr, 2018-10-09 ### *---- "Needs to be updated" The app was fine with the previous version of iOS. With iOS 12 it now does not display the staff lines, only the notes. I would have rated it as 4 stars if it still worked. -- TomTaylor83, 2018-09-29 ### ***** "Excellent support!" I just purchased this yesterday and ran into a problem associated with using the Smart Keyboard on an iPad Pro — I contacted the support and they were great. They were able to figure out what was going on quickly and easily. My first attempts at entering my own songs using ABC notation are going great now. This app does what it says it does and it does it well. -- Mary (engineering prof), 2018-01-03 ### ****- "Nice app" This is a nice app for my practice and for jams. I keep all my tunes in it. Very easy to copy and paste abc files into it. Would be nice if it visually highlited the notes as it plays them, but otherwise I love it. -- MostlyFromMaine, 2017-09-03 ### *---- "Not worth it." purchased this yesterday and removed it from my tablet. App freezes up. Looked up sheet music, and nearly every tune I am working on is unable to be down loaded. Wanted to use this app to aid in learning bagpipe songs. I couldn't even use the app as it froze up after a couple minutes. I have the latest updates on my device. -- Fonzee23, 2017-05-17 ### **--- "Not 4 drums" Sadly does not support drum notation. -- Chuck Mahenski, 2016-08-28 ### ***** "Great Resource" Love this app! -- duffyb, 2016-07-22 ### ***** "Terrific App" I use this app daily to learn Irish tunes on banjo. It's easy to find classic collections to import (e.g. O'Neill's, Carolan's) as well as single tunes out of the many thousands that are available. One suggestion: Would be nice if it was simpler to add tunes to a set list. Otherwise, I love it! Thanks for making such a great app. -- PMacanudo, 2016-07-12 ### ***** "Super!" Nice job! Clean and easy to use interface. Importing tunes from abcnotation and thesession websites works flawlessly --- and was EASY! The music display is easy to read and easy on the eyes. Thanks to the developer! Best of luck with this and any new projects! Clearly you have the user in mind with this app. -- Spodddy, 2016-05-23 ### ***** "Good and very useful" Excellent!!! -- Texfid5, 2015-09-23 ### ***** "Great app!" I love this app! It does everything I want it to do, and does it quickly and reliably. Never crashes! The perfect tool for practicing session tunes. -- Bbvfiddler, 2015-09-13 ### ***** "Impressed" My first not free app, and I'm right thrilled. The search for sheet music function is wonderful. I play the tin whistle and this app has been a blessing. My only suggestions would be a bit wider range for the speed mainly a bit slower, and a slight pause before the tune starts playing. Maybe even a drone note before. But as is it is still a great app. Bravo -- Rightgood1112, 2015-08-13 ### ***** "Fine collection of tunes, notes." Worth buying for aspiring Irish flute players. Don't get stuck in the "about" section. -- Marc in Maine, 2015-01-29 ### ***** "Love it... Can you?" A phenomenal resource. I'm going with five stars because my ideas and recommendations are simply that...personal preference. Maybe a choice of two or three GM instruments for playback? Or at least a light, bar, or dot that follows the notes as they are being played by the app. Great work. -- Matthew Hardy, 2014-11-27 [View all the Craic reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/de/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## the Craic In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Yearly supporter | $12.99 | | Monthly supporter | $1.39 | ## the Craic Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Bezahlt | Irland | Music | #164 | ## Apps Similar to the Craic -
