Plum Music Player 4+

Review Under Duress

EDIT: I have paid every price for every add on for this app—it continues to interrupt the experience, begging for reviews and to follow it on social media. You simply do not get an ad-free experience with this premium product.

This is an absolutely excellent product, and is essentially five stars without breaking a sweat—but the frequency to which it pestered me with pop ups to rate and follow and smash that like button, after I’ve paid money for it, was far too high. One of the options was to write a review. Very well; this is that review. I understand word of mouth is how small devs survive, and I evangelize the software I like—but I’d advise against purchase if you’re the kind of user who pays a premium price to forego ads. As I write this, I have no idea if this will make them stop. Perhaps relegating the ask to the settings menu or something would be a better idea.

Hi, since your review Plum has come back in full swing and has gained a lot of features.
Would you mind updating your review so it reflects current state of the app better?
Thanks!

Only 3rd Party One I Can Find Only Wish It Had A Better UI Design

I’ve looked high and low for a third party Spotify music player for iOS and was only able to find this one, I tried it out and it’s great n all but there are many other music players out there for Apple Music that are beautifully designed like Soor or Marvis Pro, my point, I only wish that Plum had a better UX design similar to the two I just mentioned, until then I can only give it three stars but it’s great to finally see that someone (probably the only one by the looks of it) who has created a third party music player for Spotify, major props for that 👍

Missing 2 important items of functionality

Doesn’t seem to support Spotify streaming ie Spotify Connect or folders created by users in the desktop Spotify app.

Hey, thanks for the review!
1. I am working on Spotify Connect, can’t give estimated date yet but it’s coming!
2. Folders created in Spotify app are unfortunately impossible to support - Spotify API just doesn’t give out any information about them. That’s something that has been requested by many developers but still no luck.
