I just opened this app today and was fairly excited to check it out. When I got my first iPhone Eons ago I faithfully monitored iTunes for my free songs; NOT taking ALL of them even though I was tempted, FREE IS GREAT and well FREE, but not all of them were in my musical genre taste. Over time more and more songs fell into the NOT MY TASTE category, and eventually I rarely checked for the free songs, only to find like NO FREE SONGS WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR THEM! So I was happy when I saw this app today and downloaded it immediately, even though its ratings were a tad low. There were 5 free songs listed, nothing overly outstanding, but it’s a start. My only problem with it is ALL 5 songs are from the SAME ALBUM OF ONE ARTIST/GROUP, it would have been better if it was one album of VARIOUS ARTISTS for SOME VARIETY! At least I like the Foo Fighters, just not all of those particular songs.

Free songs, what more could you ask for. Only problem is there are SO many songs & different genres, you really have to listen to each one to get a feel for your type of music. Once downloaded you can play between all your devices with the cloud.

It's great to have a resource that finds free iTunes content, since Apple no longer notifies customers of such, as it once did. There is a design flaw, however. There's no way to delete old notifications of free music. If it is possible, the ability isn't at all obvious. As a result, the list grows longer and longer. Not at all intuitive, plus it's downright annoying. How could the developer have missed that? Lastly, it's been forever since additional free music has been posted by this app. Either there is none on iTunes or the app is dead. We'll likely know when Apple purges 32-bit apps later this year.
