I’ve been searching for a year for a simple iOS music player that I can let my kids use. I didn’t want to trust someone else’s content ratings in streaming or want them to have free rein to stumble on anything in search results. This requires going back in time to the .mp3 era. All the other apps out there have some kind of modern compromise baked in somewhere. Even VLC! But this app is simplicity. It works. You can let a kid loose on it without a further thought. It doesn’t have any surprises. Great work!
This app could not be better!

This app does exactly what its title implies: it plays my own music that lives on my own device. It works so simply that it’s brilliant. It does exactly what I expect it to do. If you’re tired of everything hiding behind a locked system o f subscriptions, or listening to somebody else’s choice of music for you, this app is THE answer.
Best app ever!

The app is simple. Easy to navigate, with a clean aesthetic, and sticks true to the message of the creation. Miss when times were simpler, and not now with how fast the world is moving. This app does that and more for me.Thanks for your hard work and being awesome. This is an iPod in 2026.
Thanks for the great feedback! This update makes building playlists faster and tidies up a few rough edges.
What's new:
