Like this but…

Okay, so this is great, grand, glorious… But it only lets you instantly play songs slash albums that you have registered. But I don’t ALWAYS want D&D battle music or Harry Nilsson. So in summary, this has its pros and cons, so I respect its choices but like everything, it has downsides.

Won’t work with Apple TV..

..which is the only reason I wanted it. Just gets stuck in authorization loop. I guess there’s a reason 3rd party apps are invariably awful. Lesson-learned. Would appreciate my $6.99 back.

Response from developer

Hello, I’m sorry to hear this is happening. I’m not aware of it being a bug but will investigate, I know it is not normal experience

Simple

I'd asked for a refund from Apple, I was having trouble with my old menu bar app. Now that's sorted I may keep.
Orto adds a nice display from the menu bar on an iMac, and on the iPhone it provides music controls from the locked screen, worth $10

So Far So Good

The shortcut functions and widgets work well. The monthly subscription seems reasonable, but I would ask the developer to add an annual option (maybe $9.99/year). Otherwise, so far so good!

Not bad

I wish the UI was nicer. Let users change the colors and change the background color to match album art. Monthly fee is a bit ridiculous too.

Great App, but it needs Apple Watch functionality updates

I really want to love this app. But I am having trouble with the Apple Watch app. I love to disconnect from my phone as I use Sonos speakers to whine down. But every time I try to initiate a shortcut or even a favorite playlist to play I continuously have to sync with iPhone and it doesn’t register that I am a premium user. Please fix this Apple Watch app!

Great App, Enhance synchronization

Orto Developers?

This is a great app, and I want to love it, however, I have seen issues with the different devices not remembering my subscription. I have to reset on each device every time I want to use the app. Please enhance functionality.

Thanks

Too Slow

Album art on Apple TV updates way too slowly. Usually like 20 seconds after song starts.

Not working

Crashes every time. Signed up for premium, still doesn’t work on Apple TV.
Simply not working.
Please fix it - I love the idea but ..

Month fee

They charge a monthly fee to use the basic Functionality of the app it’s only a dollar a month but still it should just be a flat fee like 20 bucks five bucks or something along that line
