it’s cute but…

it’s cute and honestly a cool app but i wish you didn’t have a set amount of songs. now i understand that the unlimited isn’t that much however i think it would be cool if we had unlimited but to do more customization to the things on the app like the vinyl that would cost money. i usually listen to music every night and i hate that when i listen to the music it’s going to waste my songs. i would buy the unlimited, however my icloud account isn’t connected to my card. so, my only problem is the fact that i have a set amount and can’t really change it, and i think it would be cool to add some customization to the app like changing the color of the vinyl. Thanks for the cool app!

Great Concept, currently just a gimmick.

I downloaded this app and bought the one-time pro package on a whim; Worth mentioning the app is basically unusable without it, but for $6 (+1 for not using a subscription model), not bad. This app is pretty good, nothing is clunky, the features that are there work well. However, in my opinion it lacks a lot of features to make it worth the premium. I shouldn’t need to use apple music to play my songs. Why not an option to search records like you would in a record crate as a search option. Also, why use individual tracks when playing? There should be an option to play an album and skip around to each individual track, like a real record player. Maybe even .45 records for singles/ep’s?On that note, where is the personalization? For an app focused on aesthetic, a handful of widgets and colors doesn’t cut it for me. I think the ability to customize your vinyl by creating, sharing, and importing mockups would be great. More than 5 colors of the same record player would definitely be welcome too. The widgets are nice but there definitely needs to be more options for those too, in terms of coloring at the bare minimum.
Overall, I’m choosing to be positive and I see a lot of potential in this app. Its current features run smoothly and I feel that given some time this app could really take off. Until then though, it serves purely as an app for those looking for a half-aesthetic gimmick.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback and for supporting MD Vinyl. We appreciate your suggestions for new features and customization options. We understand your concern about the requirement for an Apple Music subscription, but this is due to limitations with the built-in Music app on iOS. We are constantly working to improve the app and add new features, and your feedback will be taken into consideration for future updates. Please feel free to contact us at feedback@md.studio if you have any further suggestions or issues. Thank you again for your support.

Fun but Glitchy Gimmick

I like the idea behind the app since I find it aesthetically pleasing but the widget is so glitchy (I have an iPhone 16 pro, running on the newest IOS). I can’t access the vinyl app from the widget (clicking it does nothing despite the app settings indicating it should open the app) and often times the widget just completely greys out, and I have to re-add the widget to my home screen to get it to work again. Also, the record image on the widget doesn’t update automatically between songs. You have to switch back-and-forth between the vinyl app and your home screen to get the widget’s record image to update. The widget is the main thing that it has going for it in my opinion, since you can’t select songs or playlists from directly within the vinyl app (it only has a forward, back, and play/pause button) - you have to go to whatever your primary music app is to select a particular song. In which case, you end up using your primary music app most of the time anyway.

One feature I really would like to see added (after the bugs are fixed) is the ability for the widget background to be transparent. It would just really elevate the home screen much more.

In my opinion, it’s not worth the $5 or however much I paid with these issues. I will say I do really appreciate that they didn’t try to charge a subscription. That is a MAJOR plus.

Developer Response ,

Hello, thank you for your detailed feedback and for giving MD Vinyl a try! We're glad to hear you appreciate the aesthetic and the fact that we don't charge a subscription. 😊

Regarding the issues you're experiencing with the widget, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. The behavior you're describing, such as the widget not updating between songs and sometimes greying out, is likely due to system limitations introduced in the latest iOS version. Specifically, iOS enforces stricter refresh limits on widgets, which can cause delays in updating song information and album art. We're continuously working to optimize the refresh logic to improve this experience, and we hope that future system updates will also help address these limitations.

As for the issue where clicking the widget doesn't open the app, we recommend ensuring that both MD Vinyl and your iOS are updated to the latest versions. If the issue persists, please feel free to reach out to us at feedback@md.studio, and we'll be happy to assist further.

We truly appreciate your support and your feedback, as it helps us improve the app. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope you continue to enjoy the aesthetic experience MD Vinyl offers! 🎶
