Stop renting. Start owning.
Music Garden is now 100% free; every feature is unlocked for everyone.
We've removed all in-app purchases. Whatever you had before, you now have everything, with no subscriptions, no ads, and nothing held back.
Also in this update:
• Redesigned album view — a cleaner, more beautiful layout that puts your artwork and music front and center.
• Continuous playback — albums and queues now flow seamlessly from one track to the next.
• Fixed shuffle — shuffle now behaves correctly every time.
• Fixed the Previous button — going back a track works reliably again.
• Better battery life — playback and background updates are more efficient, especially with Apple Watch.
Thanks for using Music Garden. Stop renting. Start owning.
