TurnTable 4+

It Works

I downloaded the app and it works just like the advertisement. So far so good.

Developer Response ,

Thank you, and Works it does.

Doesn’t Support Apple Music | Interface is okay at best | Searching is bizarre

First part is self explanatory – the app doesn’t find music that is downloaded through Apple Music, including stuff saved for offline playing. There’s also no way to change which directory the app is looking for files in, so that’s not an option.

The artist interface doesn’t look particularly nice – artists don’t show up in any particular order, and there doesn’t seem to be a setting for it. The individual artist view (just an artist’s specific albums) is nice because it focuses on the artwork. The album view looks nice enough but, again, nothing is in any particular order which really irks me – if you have a sizeable enough music collection, scrolling through and looking for something in particular is well nigh impossible unless you know exactly what the album looks like. The records view is a random scroll through of album artwork with no other information about the album (artist, album name) displayed. The individual album view is not that nice either. Only very minimal designing has actually gone into this app which claims to be all about its design.

Searching is bizarre – if you type a letter, it picks the first album that begins with that letter and shows it to you. Same goes for searching in the artist view instead.

Why on earth was this app an “app we love"? Did someone even open it before picking it? I only paid a dollar for it and I think I overpaid.

Does indeed work well with the  Music Library.

The artist/columns interface works fucking well as well. Frail physically inept poor people use it daily to great effect... Um...

Another fake review.

[Disclaimer- Someone rigged a "Bad review troll brigade" on this app... Too high of quality, TPTB? Happens rarely in human history, reminds of Tesla, with the 432Hz tuning being "too much", made by too good of a guy/group... ]

Curiously interesting

I bought TurnTable on a lark, thinking it might be really interesting to hear my music at 432 Hz.

I can report a few of things from the experience:

1. My music didn't sound any different with respect to tuning. Maybe the difference between 432 and 440 Hz is not that perceivable to human hearing, I don't know.
2. My music did sound like it had been run through a muddy filter. Not what I expected from a music playback app, 432 Hz or not.
3. I have Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Greatest Hits (2008) in my library. I queued up track 5, “I Need To Know", in both iTunes and TurnTable. iTunes played the studio recorded version, while TurnTable somehow played a live concert recording of the song! Incroyable! I don't have live concert Tom Petty in my library, so I am amazed, bewildered, flabbergasted, gobsmacked (pick any two).

I feel like I may have been snookered with this purchase. Definitely asking for a refund.

Your experience may be different, so try out TurnTable if you're curious. That said, you might have an equally pleasant experience listening to your iTunes music while wearing some quartz earrings to reverberate the organic harmonics of the sound back to their mathematical consistency with the universe before it enters your ear canal. Or just buy some good headphones.

P.S. Also not a fake review. I *wish* someone had paid me to write this.
