Leave a Review Prism Music
Great music player
I found this app while searching for an alternative to Plexamp, after really butting heads with its limitations. I was already a user of the Prologue app, so it was an easy choice to try another app of similar design flow by the same dev, and I am very happy with the transition. Much more flexibility in displaying and filtering through my music library, and much better handling of downloads as well. The only thing I seem to be missing is the ability to toggle shuffle while already in the middle of playing a track (say, from a playlist or album), rather than only having it as an option when originally starting to play from the playlist/album. Sometimes I want to shuffle but know which song I want to listen to first, but the only workaround [Shuffle Playlist > Find desired song > Play Next > Next song > Find previous song that came up first on shuffle that now you still want to listen to > Play Next] is so clunky. The only other app I’ve ever seen missing this feature is SoundCloud and even they added the relatively basic feature in. I would consider re-rating to 5 stars if this feature was added in a future update. Other features that would be nice to haves: - Ability to remove songs from queue by swipe action to avoid having to accidentally play a song and ruin all the work you did to line up a good queue before a workout/shower/etc. - Ability to switch to see play history when looking at queue below the now playing screen
- Sleep timerShow lessGreat music player

This app hasn’t been updated in over a year. The foundation for something great is here, and this dev has certainly proved their abilities with the Prologue app for audiobooks, but Plexamp is probably a better choice until this app shows signs of life. Plexamp might not be utterly flawless, but it is getting regular updates and new features. You’re gonna need to purchase the premium version of Prisim to really get the features you want (downloads, refined sorting, etc.), but again, there’s just no upkeep here. If you run into an issue or find something broken, that’s it.Show less
