TapTunes

The randomness is nice but often I would like to listen to my playlist in order. The problem I encounter with playlists is that it will only play one song then stop right there. The next song in my playlist does not auto play. I have to go back to the selection screen and select the next album. My second complaint is the 3-5 sec buffer. If you accidentally play the wrong song, you are waiting for the song to play, go full screen, then it will allow you to go back. Fixing these two things would make this the best 3rd party music app. It’s by far better than Apple’s but on it’s own, just shy of perfection for me.

I love the random display of album art and customizations for rediscovering albums I haven’t played in so long! But, when I tap on the cover of a song that has lyrics attached, how do I get back to the cover? I can’t dismiss the lyrics. No combination of taps or swipes gets me back to the album view. Is it a bug?

Film scores, compilation albums, guest appearances: All perfectly valid reasons an album may have more than 1 artist. This does not mean your interface should split the album. if I want to play an album, I want all 10 songs, not the 2 by the artist whose name appears first!!!

This adds functionality the default app would (in my ideal world) have built in. Being able to see an attractive spread of albums to pick from reduces the cold impersonality of digital libraries. Lots of customizability. Would love even more choices.<br/><br/>Update: Thank you for adding the widget with random albums! I love it and use it daily. Wonderful app.

A great music player with a very intuitive interface. Originally purchased for the car, it has become my go-to music player all the time.<br/><br/>Gesture based interface allows you to control your music while keeping your eyes on the road. Connection for BlueTooth or WiFi playback is easily accessed. <br/><br/>Very well planned and executed, it makes navigating your music and selecting playback very easy.<br/><br/>Great job!

Great app for playing songs based on search

I really wanted to like this app, as it appeared to be the best alternative to the default. The concept of the different views are brilliant, if only the app's core functionality worked well. Upon selecting or switching to any song, the entire app freezes, sometimes for up to 5 seconds at a time. Don't like the next song you skipped to? Well you better be ready to tolerate the intro while the GUI is frozen. Even when a song is playing, many of the animations at the heart of user interaction are evidently choppy, like the volume control on the playing screen. This is all on a brand new iPhone 8 and persistent across reboots and reinstalls. Platform limitations like the control center shortcut are tolerable, but charging people for a non-responsive app is not.

The grid album view lets me so many more of my albums than Apple Music, Spotify, or YouTube music ever do, and the blurred background color based on the detail of your album looks nice. Everything is quickly accessible, and simple double tap and swipe gestures make some actions faster that are more cumbersome in the other apps. I really like how minimal it feels w/o cutting out core functionality. This app actually *feels* clean, and I really appreciate that.<br/><br/>Will there be an update to optionally show more than 500 albums on the grid view? My library isn't there yet, but it's getting close.
