The Wagner Ring Cycle App

This app basically just plays a recording of the each opera synched with a piano score and libretto, and indicates generally when various leitmotifs happen. I do appreciate the option of choosing between different recordings. It also has links to some Wikipedia and YouTube stuff you could look up on your own. Considering the high cost of the app, there should be an index of each leitmotif which shows each one in notation form and also plays it individually so you can hear it outside the texture of the full opera, either on piano or synthesizer. The icing on the cake would be to also have each leitmotif highlighted and/or color-coded in the synched piano score so you can actually see it as you hear it. I was hoping this app ($60 with tax PLUS a $12 monthly Apple Music membership) would put the leitmotifs together in a more accessible, informative, and efficient way. The developer got in touch after my initial review, and said they would consider my suggestions about fleshing out the leifmotif aspect in future updates. I hope they do, because that’s what would make this app worth the money.
