Better than native music app, but still have flaws

The main reason l purchased this app is that l can easily check/edit 5-star rating of any song, unlike the native app.
I also like that the album art is displayed on a bigger area compared to iphone’s music app.
Displaying file’s lyrics is very easy.

However, when showing a list of songs in an album for example, 5-star rating isn’t shown next/below every song, but you have to open every single song to check that.

Also, when playing a song, lt’s order/number in an album or a playlist isn’t shown, as well as the total play time.

I hope the developers add these features to the next update soon.

Unreliable, and will unintentionally rate unplayed songs

I tried this app well over a year ago and had a deal breaking issue. I couldn’t tie the issue to the Startone app, so I abstained from writing a review. After deleting the app over a year ago, fixing my ratings, reinstalling the app today (newer version), and listening to and rating a couple songs stored locally on my iPhone… I can unequivocally state that this app is the culprit. It rated songs I hadn’t even listed to. Additionally, it changed songs’ ratings that I’d methodically managed over the past 20+ years.

To fix the damage caused, I had to remove this app, synch my iPhone to my library, restart the iPhone, fix the ratings that this app broke (redundantly stored as text “***” in songs’ Comment tag), then re-synch.

If you actually care about keeping song ratings, my recommendation is to proceed with caution with this app. It is buggy/unstable at best, or worse… poorly designed. Either way, it can’t be trusted.

Great way to rate songs with Apple Watch

Love this app. I like song star ratings, but Apple has been making it harder and harder to use them. This app puts the ability to quickly rate a song right in my wrist.

One thing to note: if you set the Apple watch to keep the last used watch app on screen longer, *and* if you don't ever open the native music app on the watch, StarTone will stay on the watch screen. Once you open the native Apple watch music app, it will keep coming back to the foreground.
