Doesn t work on the Galaxy S9 just makes click and pop noises and doesn t play the Tap file Also links you to a porn site on one of the buttons     Dave Doherty

Terrible and keeps pausing on it s own It is impossible to load a game into my c64 I spent well over 3 hours with no success     Dan Smith

I was going to use it with my Tandy color computer 2 but I tried loading a cas file and it said I found a bug or something and it didn t work could someone please explain this             Lusty Glaceon

Needs a volume booster Games with turbo load are otherwise impossible to load using most recent devices         ICEknigh7

awesome I can t believe this is the only app for this                     Aaron Kitchen

Fantastic app Thank you Any way to donate                     A Google user

The website link in the app links directly to a porn site         Mike Reynolds

Had to fiddle with settings and volume once I figured that out was successfully loading C64 tape images with ease Very handy to be able to do it from your phone as opposed to laptop PC Can t seem to get the auto pause feature to work well for me it seems to pause when I don t want it to Also the manual pause button doesn t resume playback correctly it starts playing from the beginning once unpaused instead of resuming where you paused from Best to sit there and hit space immediately                 Works well for C64 Frank FJS

It worked great for me You may need to spend some time adjusting volume settings on your Android device to make this work properly But that is no fault of tapDancer itself Also make sure to read the instructions about pausing playback and about pressing space on the C64 when the tape program is first found Thanks for creating this great program                     Dave Cope

Great app Worked great on C64 Speccy etc Sadly can t get any uef files for Acorn Electron to work though TapDancer freezes after selecting the uef and the convert progress bar stays stuck on 0 If fixed TapDancer would get full marks             Good but UEF support still broken Martin Harvey

Works pretty well once you figured out how to properly use it For C64 it sometimes stops after the game has loaded and you have to press PLAY once more for the game to begin Like it s waiting for some last bit of data Apart from that the scrolling display is kinda annoying There s no reason it should be scrolling and not just static As it takes a second or two for the scrolling text to appear you re left wondering if it s actually playing or not That s a bit silly The overall functionality is great though                 Anders H

App works great on my s7 edge but having force closing issues on my S4 any time audio is playing and I try to pause stop open settings Hope to see a fix soon                 Joey King

Lovely to find an app that works so well I m using it on a cheap Android 4 4 tablet with my Acorn Electron and it has loaded almost all the UEF files I ve thrown at it However it is not without its faults for example if a program generates a sound file that is too large more than 1000 on the counter it does not work at least not for me Also it creates a tapdancer folder in the root directory of my android device for converted files that has to be deleted when full if not tapdancer stalls on converting a file to audio Another problem I ve seen is that when I tried to use it with my phone an Android 5 device it hangs on the converting to audio screen and goes no further Its faults can be forgiven however and as far as free apps go I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in old computers and running old software on them                 A Google user

Works perfectly with my spectrum 2 and amstrad cpc464 Expected it to be a pain to get working was pleasantly surprised                     Rob Munns

It does the trick but for me at least it keeps pausing randomly i have auto pause off and often it won t resume after a manual or automatic pause             Buggy Simonida Kadic

Obviously some thought has been put into this I can t believe how well it works                     Works like a charm Geoff Tynan

Crashes on converting tap files help button is too close to the edge tries to play zip archives as data files Used to like it but no more         A Google user

Used to work great with uefs on my other phone Does not work on my me a kne Will stay stuck on 0                     Hugh Marshall

Really If your into pc88 and msx games it will never work because they are 2 japanese computers             Anthony Meyer

Awesome app I have been using it on an Amstrad Cpc 464 and it s brilliant I look forward to testing it on my C64 and Zx Spectrum Will it work with C16 plus 4 I ask myself                     Batt Mann

Biggest heap of carp on android won t load one single game     Rubbish Peter Smits

Doesn t work for Uef files so can t use it with my electron     NaithanFork

nu alleen de bestanden D64 leest het niet zou wel super zijn als dit programma D64 ook kan lezen                     Rebinya Dulgar

I couldn t thank you enough                     William William Ferris

It would be great if I could use ext sd for files Already a brilliant app                     Brian hogg

Sometimes works when it wants to most of the time not Playing wav files is far more successful         A Google user

Uef still not working for bbc micro tape images     Phil Whitmore

Please support the Oric 1                 Other systems Ben Gleeson

Thank you                     William Ferris

Works perfectly Thanks so much for creating this app                     Scott Heinz

Does nt work what tha     A Google user

I had to rollback to a previous version as update caused app to close upon selecting any file on my galaxy a3 yet worked fine on older android device Works great with c64 files but have troubles trying to load spectrum Only limited success loading spectrum                 Good David graham

Some games have loading error on the Atari 800XL it seems that its the 15 minute loading time ones werid Thanks for a great app EDIT It works great on my C64C but can t load Prg files I can load them by converting them to wav using PRG WAV The other problem with TapDancer is that it uses alot of space on your SDcard maybe add a option to be able to move the TapDancer folder to a different sdcard to free up space                     cool but RETROnuts

if you have an old puter then TapDancer is probably one of the most useful apps you can have on your android device i ve been finding more and more of my old tapes failing when i try load them on my collection of older computers they re 30 years old after all but now either with a cassette adaptor or a mini jack to jack lead i can load games pretty much perfectly every time the only times it s ever failed me has been when the volume has been set too high or too low but once you find the right volume level for your particular device you can leave it there and the app will remember it for next time excellent stuff highly recommended                     wonderful app bobbi iddod

Haven t tried the cas support to see if it ll work with my Dragon 32 yet but it s a great app for loading tap files on my Speccies with my S4 and Tab 3 the addition of p support for the ZX81 would really be the icing on the cake Unfortunately the app crashes if I try switching the source to my external SD but it s a minor gripe                 Very handy Jez Harrison

Short term workaround would be to copy files to internal memory but support for addition memory ssd1 directory would be handy Unable to browse to the root in order to select If I m being silly then I ll happily re review         Unable to access memory card Peter Seymour

But doesn t work anymore on my tab after rooting it when I select SD card It the custom rom root seems to have changed the name how it accesses the SD card                     Love it Sindre Lausund

Works great some stutters here and there but for the most part this is an app I would gladly pay for I do wish I could be able to save files to a TAP file though However this is fantastic in itself                 Great app Sam Unwin
