Love concept Needs work

Would love to play with this but for me it’s really buggy I can’t access settings or extras or cover flow When I pause the song resets Keep working on it and this’ll be a great app

Dark Mode

How do you enable dark mode?

Please add cover flow and video/photo capabilities!

Please I would pay to have cover flow it’s so cool feature! Very disappointed to see it was not really there

Fun and niche

I wanted to buy an actual ipod eventually however i have never used or owned one. this is pretty good and makes me want to buy one even more. it is a little complicating but thats how it was back then i guess. Great app but i have a horrible taste in music 😅

The look is great but…

It makes your iPhone look like an iPod classic but it does not some glitches. When I pause a song and then click play, it goes to a different song. When I click back button it sometimes does not work or only goes back a few songs. A bonus is that you feel the haptic pulse when clicking. And it makes the correct sound when scrolling.

Pretty cool

This app is cool. Definitely does what it sets put to do. The other options of this app like settings, cover flow, etc., aren’t functional but I hope they will be in the future. Also, the interface should have a full screen mode. I really hope this gets continued support since Rewound was removed. I really like this app.

Interesting

No very good, navigation doesn’t work well at all

Can’t unpause but otherwise good

When I pause and unpause it plays the next song. But other than that works great for songs stored on the phone.

Good

Good but could be miles better . Very buggy on pausing songs . Skipping songs will some times hang . Needs a lock screen widget this would be cool . Settings option don’t work but would love to be able to change colour of iPod / click wheel other than that app has a lot of potential

Excellent

An excellent app that does a good job at emulating an iPod 6th gen, however there is room for improvement and additions
- Note: Currently running an iPhone XR with iOS 17.1.1

Bugs:

- There's an annoying bug where if you shuffle music, then pause and play again, it will skip to a different song

- The text on the left-hand menu is too large, causing some labels to be cut off with "..." and the music button being cut off at the top

- When going to Music then Songs, scrolling through the songs does not work

- A very specific one, but when on the currently playing screen and playing an mp3 file with an embedded thumbnail, the thumbnail is too long and goes beneath some of the song name

Suggestions:

- Add a functional settings tab. Doesn't have to be exactly the same as the iPod's original settings, but it'd be nice to have some functional and aesthetic options such as changing the color of the iPod or changing the look of the iPod and it's UI to look like other iPods, or having the current time displaysd alongside the battery

With that said, thank you very much for developing this app. I've gotten super into iPods recently, and this app is a fun little experience/substitute for until I get an iPod of my own
