DONT BUY PRO

Do not waste your money or time on the PRO features of this app. THEY DONT WORK. Apple Music and Last.FM do not authenticate as advertised.

Good luck getting in touch with the developer. Don’t waste your $5 on this app

Just a few things

I absolutely love the UI here, and I’ve been looking for a decent music player with queue functionality for ages so this one was a no brainer. I just wish the settings menu was more accessible since the only way to access it (that I know of) is in the songs tab. I like to fiddle around with colors and themes a lot so this is a minor annoyance to me, but I doubt others have much of a problem with it. Also the touch+drag areas to rearrange the menus are nearly invisible on dark and true black mode.

Hmm. Okay, *when it works*

An okay player.

Sadly, a few weeks ago an update appeared. When’re I tried to install the update, an error would appear saying β€œthis item is not available on the App Store”. Now it just bombs out when I start it.

Overall very good/missing minor quality of life features

The app so far is beautiful and functional. The pinned albums feature is one of the best features I never knew I wanted, as well as the ability to jump straight to a song's album from the Now Playing screen.

The app is missing some minor features compared to other players that I wish it had, such as:

- The ability for the rewind playback button in the Now Playing view to replay the same song rather than immediately go to the previous song

- Displaying seperate "discs" inside of an album would also be a plus

- The ability to skip increments of the song by double tapping the rewind/forward buttons

Overall though, Sathorn is a beautifully designed app with plenty of customization options to satisfy most people.

nice app!

liking it so far!

Pros:
- like the favorites list/ability to pin songs to the top
- iOS 9 inspired design aesthetic is great
- has custom playlist art
- very Apple-like design

Cons:
- no grid option for viewing playlists/albums

Very nice

Love all the UI customization features and simple layout

I want to like it...

But it keeps asking me to sign into my Apple account. Annoying. More importantly, the lock screen widget only allows you to like or dislike tracks? No playlist control?

Response from developer

You have to sign in to your Apple account in order to get access to Apple Music. Otherwise, the "For You" recommendations will not load and other Apple Music features will not be available.

Ugh

If this app worked as it is supposed to it would be a great app. But it crashes a lot and it is unresponsive. I got so annoyed at it I deleted it soon after installing.

Response from developer

version 2.17 includes quite a few significant performance updates that should improve your experience.
