## Review summary

Users consistently praise Spectrum for its striking visualizations, describing the animations as impressive and appealing. However, the app suffers from several reliability and access issues that appear across many reviews: inability to import personal music (limited to Apple Music/ITunes; no support for Photos or local files), frequent startup failures (black/grey screens, won't start), slow loading and performance problems, and updates that break core functionality. Some users also report audio not playing or visual timing not syncing with music. Despite the strong visuals and potential, ongoing reliability issues severely limit its usefulness.

### Pros

- Impressive, striking visualizations and animations.
- A large portion of features appear accessible for free, not requiring a purchase.
- The app is generally viewed as a cool, useful music visualizer with potential.

### Cons

- Cannot import own music; limited to Apple Music/iTunes; no support for local files or Photos.
- App often won't start or shows a black/grey screen, requiring troubleshooting.
- Slow loading and overall performance issues.
- Updates frequently break functionality or render the app unusable.
- Audio not playing or timing not synced with visuals.
