Made for iPhone Duo Crate now lays itself out around every pose of iPhone Duo. • Closed: the full Crate experience on the outer display, with Now Playing, Library and every detail page sized for the smaller screen. • Book: Now Playing puts the player on one side and your queue or lyrics on the other, with nothing sitting on the crease. • Tabletop: the player folds down to the lower half with art, title and transport side by side. • Fully open: artist, album, playlist and station pages split into two columns. Bio and related artists on the left, tracks on the right. Playlists and stations show every artist in them, three to a row. • Library, Genres and Home lay out around the fold, so no album, artist or genre tile is ever cut by the hinge. • Fold or unfold mid-song and Now Playing follows you to the other display, keeping its place. Also in this release • iPad: Now Playing in landscape now fits every control on screen. • Stations: the station page gets the same full-bleed artwork treatment as playlists, with a cleaner cover. • Home: your two rows are now "Recent Playlists" and "Recent Music" on every device. • Track lists across the app pick up a lighter card style. Thanks for listening with Crate. If something looks off on your device, reach out from Settings and it gets looked at.
