Musician's Friend
At Musician's Friend, we know the importance of getting gear that's the best fit for you. Whether you're on the couch or on the road, we understand that your set-up should be uniquely yours. Our goal is to help you find exactly what you want by providing a custom-tailored shopping experience that reflects your musical journey and interests, resources to help you choose the perfect gear and a helpful community that's always there to answer any questions you have. A Brief History Musician's Friend was founded in 1983 by Rob and DeAnna Eastman. Newly married, the Eastmans financed the start up with a $5000 loan from Rob's parents and ran the business out of their suburban California garage. Our first catalog was just a simple two-color flyer offering discounted guitar strings and a handful of other accessories. With a combination of hard work and intimate knowledge of the music business, things quickly changed. We were among the earliest catalog marketers of music gear and the first to focus on rock-band gear, so we experienced amazingly rapid growth. Today, we offer the most comprehensive selection of products in the music business. We provide unparalleled service from our distribution center in Kansas City, a 300+ person call center in Salt Lake City and our musician-friendly web site. WeÕve come a long way from our dairy barn. Today we have multiple locations around the U.S. to provide quick delivery and excellent customer service. Our corporate headquarters is based in sunny Westlake Village, CA. Our two support centers reside in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Indianapolis, Ind. Finally, our 700,000 ft distribution center is in Kansas City, MO.

1 item?

Why do I have to exit the app to see more than the first listed deal of the day? What's the point?

Deals are Great, but not their App

I've ordered many Stupid Deals Of The Day (and still do), but there have been many times when I couldn't place a SDOTD order with this App (and sometimes via their website) - so in all fairness, maybe there's a "combo" problem, and not just this App at fault? The App itself never crashes on me; it'll hang, but without an eventual timeout to let you know something went wrong (e.g., like it's not handshaking "well" with back-end processes). I've had numerous White Screens of Death, have had to quit the App to receive daily SDOTD refreshes, have received cart contents from the previous day and also had the cart contents frozen (i.e., the "X" to remove items doesn't work), etc., etc. Yesterday, I made it all the way to PayPal, and then the transaction failed upon return to MF's checkout process (the item showed in-stock and ready to ship when I clicked "add to cart"). Yes, it's an okay App/Service when it works, and I'll continue to use it. However, there must be TONS of potential revenue being turned away. FYI - I've never had bogus charges from failed transactions, so that's a plus (i.e., what you'd expect from a transaction-oriented business process).

Used to be great but now the worst ever

This used to be a good app but the last few months just keeps getting worse until now it doesn't work at all just shows total white out. Not even a delete and reinstall helps anymore. The previous few weeks it would lockup on a day for a week or more, not update to the next deal. Totally disappointing you can't hire someone smart enough to keep It working. I would give it a negative 5 stars.

All Roads Lead To Their Web Site

Latest version (7/25/16) includes a link to see all three "stupid deals of the day". Surprise - all it does is launch a browser window and send you to their web site. If you're just going to send me to the browser, why do I even need your app?!? Not ready for prime time. Tried 'app sypport' and it also launches the browser version of 'stupid deal', not a support page...?!? You appear to have designed an app whose sole purpose is to send folks to your web site. Now THAT'S a stupid deal.

Buggy

This software has been buggy over time. The most recent update killed it again. The current version just shows the app splash screen then doesn't progress any further. Save yourself the aggravation and just visit the MF website in Safari.

Useless

Like all the other reviews, this app freezes and crashes every time I attempt to use it. Don't waste your time downloading it.

Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.

UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
