![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Once you understand that you'll come to really appreciate it, but it may come as a shock at first (in fact, I first tried it and thought "nah. The developer is VERY disciplined here – no nonsense, no bells or whistles, no fluff. One thing you need to know up front is that this is not iTunes – it's meant to be a playlist approach. you may be thinking "it's digital – it should sound the same with any app or approach," but that hi-rez format has to be decoded into wavelengths and there's a variety of approaches to doing this. So glad I took the chance! I have yet to find a format that the app doesn't handle! And I've compared the sound to my other approach and it definitely seems more transparent and sharper. it's worth a try." I definitely didn't want to spend $90 a year just to play my music. ![]() I saw this app and thought "well, ten bucks. So I decided to see if I could find an app that would handle such a wide variety of formats – especially dff and dsf. Always a crap shoot, and very frustrating! I used to go to great lengths to get the hi-rez files (dff, dsf) to play on my computer (I won't go into detail here, but it included two or three apps), and half the time it wouldn't work. I've got a large library (almost a terabyte) of music in all sorts of formats, including dff, dsf, flac, alac, and all the common ones. On the one hand, a presumably lower score review vanishes and your overall score goes back to a bit higher in average – but on the other hand, if you’re not checking your recent reviews every day (as you do not get an email alert from Apple once a new review is in and had been green-lit for public appearance on the storefront), you might miss out on a crucial piece of feedback that otherwise would have flown under your radar. In such a scenario, the full retail price of the app is refunded and the associated app review rating and text are removed from the App Store page/profile (as the user no longer owns it). Why would a review disappear?Īs a developer, I have little to no control over the reviews users send through the Mac App Store (aside from reporting one as inappropriate or spam) so when a review disappears, that means the user had requested a refund for Colibri and it got approved. For anyone wondering, I’ve used the ty-yqs/App-Store-Connect-API open source PHP project as a starting point. I’ve written a small app that retrieves all the data and produces a list such as this – might make it public at a later point in time as I couldn’t find an app that does exactly this. Yes, the data was pulled straight from the Mac App Store using the publicly available App Store Connect API. This also allows me to use this cheesy catchphrase:Ĭolibri for Mac – even the reviews are lossless! Is it legit? So for the sake of completeness and transparency, here are all the reviews available from my Apple Developer Account in an uncurated, unedited form as of the date of generation seen at the very bottom of the list, ordered by submission date, new to old. When you visit the Mac App Store for Colibri, most of the time you will only see reviews (and my responses) from the country that matches your Apple ID – which is nice, but depending on your territory, you might not even see any reviews at all (or just a few recent ones). Colibri Reviews – straight from the Mac App Store Why? ![]()
