Excellent
I absolutely love this app. I downloaded it a few weeks ago and noticed the difference in the sound quality immediately. I would hit the little icon in the middle of the screen which dissengages the app so youre listening to the raw and terrible MP3 sound. At first I thought this might be a gimmick so I switched to the basic iPod music player and altered the equalization settings such as "Rock", "Acoustic" "Treble Boost" etc. These did not even compare to the sound quality I would get with Audio Xciter. It simply blew my mind because in reality I"m a vinyl guy, and though its not as good as vinyl, its so much better than the regular MP3, or MP4 audio you get normally. Now, originally when I downloaded it, it was extremely buggy. It would freeze my iPod at least once every time I used it. If I got a few minutes into a song then switched to another song without stopping the previous one, it would start to play the next song from the few minute mark, but it would be skipping like a defective CD. Then when I would try to stop the song, my whole iPod would freeze and Id have to shut it off completely and power it on again. Not all the time, but just enough to be aggrivating. But then about a week ago they released a firmware update and fixed most of the bugs. Its not quite perfect yet as far as the bugginess goes. but it hasnt frozen my iPod since the firmware update. It does use up the battery faster than if you listened to music normally, but I charge my iPod each night anyway so thats not an issue for me. Once all the bugs are worked out Ill give it 5 stars. But aside from everything I said whether good or bad, I do not listen to my music using the native iPod player anymore. You should download the free version to give it a try if youre contemplating downloading but cant decide.. You will not be dissapointed. And to those that commented on the previous version that it was nothing more than an equalizer...of course its just an equalizer. But it makes your music listening a much more enjoyable experience than the native player. Okay, Im done.
