• Cult of Mac : "By applying the latest in touch-screen technology and cutting edge software design, you can now have all the inconvenience of old-school recorded music rendered with the convenience of multi-touch. Behold: The BeatBlaster."
• AppStorm : "If you like the retro look, like the idea of built-in radio stations, and like the music selection process, Beat Blaster could easily become one of your most frequently used apps."

What you say about it :
• Well done, beautiful interface.
• Great music app, really the best.
• Now with Retina graphics, it's more awesome than ever!
• Great idea, really!! Great for radios also!!
• This app is beautiful. Thank you!
• This takes you right back in time when home Hi fi was the real deal. Great design, awesome graphics.
• This app is awesome, love how you put the cover art on the simulated CD collection and the turntable rocks!
• Must have app. The best. If you were born before 2000. This is a must have.
• I love it!
• What a throwback app! Takes me back to the good ol' days! A fun fresh way to listen to your favorite music.

What BeatBlaster can't do :
• The app can't access iTunes shared libraries or other. Only tracks synchronized with your iPad will be accessed by The BeatBlaster
• The BeatBlaster does not improve in anyway the quality of the music. It does not process the sound by adjusting the balance between frequency components within the electronic signal. It is a graphical representation of the track's volume that is intended to give the user the feeling of a real old school hi-fi sound system.
