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!

This is the best app I’ve tried so far! Free and lets me edit the song covers and such what ive been looking for! Try it now!
Added a Now Playing home-screen widget with playback controls. CarPlay now loads your library reliably even when the phone app isn’t open, playback resumes more consistently, and large music libraries launch substantially faster. Also includes improved artwork and metadata handling.
