Set Dances App Reviews

Looks great, easy to use. It would be good if the quality of the songs could be improved. It sounds a bit like it uses midi files.

This is a really great app, especially as a teacher Im able to slow down speeds while student are first learning and then slowly increase them. Thanks :)

Let me start off by saying that if apple allowed for half stars Id give this app 4 1/2 stars. The list of songs is perfect and it does exactly what it says it will do. If you are looking for your music at a speed that isnt common or if you want to try your set out at different speeds this is the app for you. My requests for future releases are 1. The app shuts down when your phone goes into sleep mode. My current setting is at 60 seconds which is not long enough to dance a set. I know I can increase that setting but I am concerned with the battery life. 2. I would love the ability to have a song on repeat. 3. It would also be nice to see how long the song is and how long you have remaining - I know this would have to change as you adjust the speeds but it would sure be handy if you are just trying to work on the set. 4. I would LOVE to have other dances on here - like slip jigs and reels... I would gladly purchase expansion packs! Overall this is a great app and worth every penny. Where else can you get every single set dance at every speed?

Great app. I loaded it on my iPad and I can have my daughter practice a little faster and a little slower getting ready for live musicians at Oireachtas! Fantastic idea.

I am so disapointed with this app because every time i try to change the tune it close the app!! What is the point if thats all that happens?

perfect for oireachtas practice! can you add hardshoe and softshoe dances?

This app is amazing. It works so well! Its amazing for Oireachtas practice, and when Im practicing for a regular feis too. It works especially well when Im practicing with friends, because we all do different set dances. Its great for class too, incase we dont have the right music, or the right speed. Its also great because my teacher likes to prepare us for when were dancing with live musicians because we can practice going faster or slower then were used to. All in all, I think this is a great app and, while it might seem pricey, its worth every cent.

I love this app!!! It helps so much at competitions!!! Most of the time I cant find my set dance at the right speed but with this I can have the perfect timing!!! U should buy! Its perfect and so worth the money!!! I love irish dancing!!!!!!<3 <3

Works great, except for the fact that when the screen goes to save mode or you hit the power button to power down the screen it shuts off the music (does not continue playing like iTunes does). Becomes problematic when my dancer sets her phone to her piece, goes to dance and the screen goes into power save and the musics gone. Fix that issue, I would give it 6 stars.

the music for most of the dances is really nice except for a few... such as planxty drury and three sea captains the music sounds digitally made and its not fair!!!

Great app! I love having any set right at my fingertips. Any chance at adding the vanishing lake and the charlady? I have a feeling the two new sets are gonna be pretty popular, wouldnt want to miss out on them!

Was a great app for my dancer until I installed the update. Now it doesnt work.....

I just bought this app and it doesnt work at all :( does it not work for iPhone 4s?

The update saved me :P

Sound doesnt play.

The app would be perfect if it included beginner and novice speeds, reels, slip jigs and treble jigs! For the price, Id expect more than what is there.

Wonderful app!! Very useful for my children who are irish dancers. I like how one is able to adjust the speed with a slide of your finger.

At Camp Rince Ceol (CRC) we used this for one class. The speed of all of our sets were 2 speeds higher (Ex. 70 was actually 72). Overall, its a great app!

I am a Prelim Champion, and our choreographer gives us a new set every year. This is such a money saver, and the songs are really well done. This is what my teacher uses too. :) Excellent app, so worth the $6.

Before this app, youd have to spend a bunch on a set dance anthology that still might not include the set dance at the speed you need. With this app, you have access to every possible set dance at almost every possible speed. Now you can drill your dances over and over and tackle tough pieces at a slower speed and build up to full speed. The recent update makes every set sound like it was played by actual musicians. I only have a few minor issues with the app: 1.) With the recent update, once a song is done, the last 5 seconds of the song will play repeatedly until you stop it. 2.) I would like to see EVERY speed available for every set. Hornpipes dont include speeds 86-99 and treble jigs only range from speeds 60-80. Although not used in competition, a wider range of speeds would be useful for practicing tricky pieces that need to be slowed down first. 3.) The set "Is the Big Man Within?" got messed up with the update. The transition from the slip jig lead to treble jig set is too delayed. Also, only the treble jig speed is shown- it used to be that both the slip jig and treble jig speeds were shown. Finally, it would be nice to select the slip jig and treble jig speeds separately. Overall, this is a fantastic app and should be an everyday tool for every Irish dancer!
