No other one time purchase player is this sleek while having a 25 dollar lifetime purchase option AND a solid iTunes library import. It looks substantially nicer than the iTunes player due to balanced shiny reactive animations and color choices that dynamically recolor to match whatever song/album is in focus. The obligatory song-reactive animated bars show by default -take notes iTunes. Consistently will not allow me to add songs from albums I own to playlists, is more likely to fail to add them than add them.Other Issues:Imports playlists and albums successfully, caveat is you must rename the playlists presently. Imports music folders/files successfully. Zip files I wish auto-converted into folders with a tap when I am browsing for a song folder I just downloaded as a zip file from Bandcamp (legally purchased). Doesn’t work with Homepod, Homepod will kick the song off the speakers after about a minute. Sometimes won’t update the art of what song is playing, showing the art for a previous song instead. Does not loop individual tracks as smoothly as iTunes, possibly due to lack of iTunes’ integrated blending of tracks via transitions. Often has issue when adding individual or multiple songs where it won’t let me select them or won’t add them even when it says they are selected, forcing me to try multiple times until it arbitrarily works. Frequently freezes after editing a playlist forcing me to close and reopen the app. Will randomly invert playlists, has a button to invert them back but still annoying. Won’t play a 2-second audio file to completion, cuts it off 1 second early 100% of the time in normal use.Verdict:Looks really good, feels like a premium app. The developer should feel really good about their self. All the other app makers need to figure out it’s lifetime ad-free or nothing for playing purchased music.
Thank you for updating your review and for taking the time to describe everything in detail. We really appreciate both the praise and the specific technical feedback.Several of the issues you mentioned, especially:•songs not reliably adding to playlists•selection not working consistently•freezes after editing playlists•random playlist inversion•short audio file cutting off earlyare not expected behavior and should not be happening consistently.We need to investigate this properly because this sounds device or library specific. Please contact us directly via Settings -> Report a Bug and include:•whether these tracks are from Apple Music or local files•approximate number of songs in your library•if possible, one short sample file that cuts off earlyAbout HomePod: once audio is routed to HomePod, playback is handled by iOS, not by our internal audio engine. We are aware that HomePod routing can behave inconsistently across apps, but we’ll still review it.ZIP auto extraction and smoother single track looping are valid suggestions. We’ll review both.Your verdict means a lot to us. You clearly understand what we’re trying to build, and that’s exactly the direction we’re going. Let’s fix the technical issues properly. Please report via Settings -> Report a Bug so we can resolve this.
