Pros and cons of Rush app for iPhone and iPad
Rush app good for
Very creative application from the best band in the world! Lots of information, 2 songs from each album, stunning graphics! A must for all Rush fans!
I like the feature that displays info about each song that Ive never seen before. Havent had much time to look at the rest because theres so much to explore. If you expand it to the iPad then a playable version of Neils Drumkit would be a great addition. So far so good and Ive only had the app for ten minutes. Cant wait to explore the rest of it. See you boys at the A.C.C. in Toronto on Saturday. Nothing like seeing Rush in their hometown... really, theres nothing like it.

This app is like all things Rush - AWESOME!!!! Couldnt wait to download after I heard about it, then couldnt put it down after I did. Brilliant job guys. Get this if youre a Rush fan.
This app is an incredible app that gives you lots of songs that normally cost all together almost $30!
One of the greatest apps
For one of the greatest bands
Would be cool to have the setlist of each show.
I would have liked to have it yesterday in Quebec City!!!
Took a few seconds to figure out how to navigate... But other than that is a good app from a great band... I like the write ups with each song... Hope they add more songs
Some bad moments
In the news section it says you can watch the lyrical video of the new single HERE , but no link to press and watch ...
Really like the features this app offers however it is very glitchy. Anytime I use the app it turns all my icons on my phone upside down and will not save any of the wallpapers offered. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but would like to know if it can be fixed. Already tried deleting and re loading but no change.
Look at the price of this app and remember that it has 36 great Rush songs embedded in it (I counted them); do the math! I love how each song has background information on it. Also the user interface is pretty cool, and looks great on the iPad. Besides the music, the "cool stuff" and news sections are a bit limited...but this app cant be beat at this price for Rush fans. I just plug my iPad into the stereo and let it play through some of the greatest tracks of all time.
I really hope Rush does more apps like this -- or it would be cool if they added more content as in-app purchases. Maybe behind the scenes videos and interviews? Or maybe use that great Rush creativity and build some music-making toys into it. Neil drum machine? Alex riff mixer?
Like most of you, I listen to most of my music digitally these days -- and I find I miss the album backs/liner notes. This app has a little bit of that; but I can imagine something a lot bigger. It would be cool to see an iPod/iPad app that would kind of serve as a replacement for all those great liner notes and background info. Imagine a kind of "Rush Encyclopedia" iPad app. That would be something great to browse through while listening. Also; wouldnt it be cool to see some of the concert produced backdrop videos playing while the songs play? Rushs team does such a great job producing those; and so many fans never get to see them.
Dont waste your money. Checked everyday since April. Not one update.
How do you get to the main menu? Im trapped on the scrolling album feature. I dont even know how I got there! Please help.
A must for Rush fans although would like to see lyrics for all Rush songs. Not sure why this isnt on the app.
