## Review summary

User feedback on Spectra is mixed. Many reviewers praise the app for its capable music visuals, Reel-friendly use, and easy workflow for creating visuals or videos. However, recurring problems limit its appeal: crashes and export/render failures, instability with background rendering, and significant compatibility gaps (primarily Apple Music-only playback, difficulty importing local files, and WAV format issues). Other frustrations include overlay/background glitches and slow or unresponsive support. Despite these, some users remain satisfied, especially those who appreciate preset imports and using photos as backgrounds. Overall, it has potential but reliability and compatibility need fixes.

### Pros

- Visually appealing visualizers that work well for music visuals and video content (Reels).
- Positive overall sentiment and enjoyment of the app.
- Ability to import external presets and customize visuals.
- Ability to use own audio and backgrounds in visuals (reported by users).
- Support for using photos as backgrounds to create visuals.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and export/render failures.
- Limited music source support: Apple Music-only, with no access to iTunes library or other streaming services.
- Background and visual rendering glitches (overlay issues, flickering, black screens).
- Audio import compatibility problems (WAV imports not supported; importing local files can be problematic).
- Perceived poor value for money (some users view it as not worth the price).
