Pros and cons of Musictionary Music Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad

Musictionary Music Dictionary app good for

Cool Interface. Definitions are simple and easily understandable even for non-English speaking people. Much more convenient if Twitter and email sharing functions are attached to the dictionary.
Finally! Ive been looking for a nice music dictionary and now I have one. Im a band director and sometimes a word comes up in the music that even I have never seen. Taking my iPhone out of my pocket to look up the word with this app is great! The UI is great and the definitions are accurate and clear to understand. Thanks for creating a great app!
Great app... Definitions are right on... Best music dictionary app available...good for music teachers and students...
Great little piece of reference material in my phone. As a music teacher who operates music studios over 3 counties Im glad I leave the music dictionary at home. My only complaints are, 1) I wish I could enter definitions myself and 2) more info, 500 definitions is a god start but when is the next installment?
This app has very simple definitions and is very easy to use. I am using it to teach music terms seen in the songbook at church. Highly recommended!
This is a nice reference book, but, I wish that I was able edit or put notes somewhere in this app.

Some bad moments

Does not even have the basic words such as chromatic, diatonic, octave, etc. Very poor explanation in tempos, and multiple tempos are interpreted the same.
This is an extremely unhelpful dictionary. For instance, it doesnt list common terms like countertenor or contrapuntal. Im deleting it from my apps.
I am taking a very basic music class at my school and bought this to see if It could help me with basic terms, but so far not one term I needed to kno has been in this dictionary, I want a refund!!!
This app is terrible. If you are a new musician and dont understand tempo markings or basic things like cresendo and decresendo... then its perfect. otherwise there is not enough information. period. it will not help anyone.
Its not bad, but it needs more information, and more pictures along with the definitions. I cant exactly search an image, nor could I describe it in the search bar and have it come out. As of now, this is not worth even the dollar I paid for it. This would make a good free version, and a larger information database would be worth the dollar. I probably wont even look in this app again until there is an update.
Containing 500 words this app is sad. Any rudimentary standard dictionary has more information.
