Great for rediscovering albums, but ...
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?Show lessMLRA73
A real delight!
I thought I’d try an alternative to Apple’s Music app and this was cheap so thought I’d give it a try. It’s a total bargain!
The gestures are intuitive and the animations put a smile on my face from the way the albums tracks are displayed to the flicking away of the album art. There’s so much thought here - swipe to flip through an artist’s albums IN DATE ORDER! Exactly what I wanted. the background colours match the artwork, tap once to fill the screen and double tap to really zoom in!
It looks brilliant in Tiles view on my iPad Pro- just a screen full of nothing but scrolling artwork with all the controls a tap and a few swipes away.
This is a total bargain and has loads of settings to match it to your device. It works really well on my iPod touch too.
Just download it now. Really.Show lessKiltedGreen
Boy all that it seems
I may have misunderstood the TapTunes functionality but I am greatly disappointed.
The app does not manage your music, it attaches to Apple Music to access your music. Every time you open the app it starts as it was never opened, instead of opening where you last closed it...I would prefer it would open at the song I am playing so I don’t have to search for it once again.
The app accesses your Apple playlists, listing the songs but there is no way to play the list one song at a time, the very definition of a “playlist”.
This app is NOT for me....waste of energy attempting to learn it.Show lessRay12003
Unusable lag
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.Show lessStevenCarlll
Great Music App
Just a great app with a lot of flexibility to organize and display your music library. Thank you David for updating this app. I’ve been using this app for a long time and it always has worked flawless for me. I know that the AOL Play app was based on your work also and it was excellent. If a future release of TapTunes were to include Shoutcast capability I certainly wouldn’t complain :)Show lessInuvik
What I've wanted for years now!
With the default iOS music player I get tired of seeing my albums in alphabetical order... this app finally solves that problem! I'm so happy, thanks to the developer for creating this!HelloitsDerek
Fantastic App With a Few Errors
This app is amazing and it's exactly what I was hoping to find with shuffled album display. It actually even goes beyond expectations with the transitions and different display types. The only issue I have with this app is that it often crashes and I don't have the option to keep a certain selection of albums. Overall, worth more that what you pay for in concept, but this app's bugginess keeps it from being perfect.Show lessawseseaw
Terrible
Bought as an alternative to the terrible music app, this one is even worse. Fails to find albums, no way to get back to album view and crashes every few seconds.

Nice, but no good
The way you can navigate within an artist and album is quite unique and works really well. There are also some nice ideas going on with artwork and display. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any support whatsoever for playing a playlist, and there is a lot about the UI that is just eccentric. Yet another music app that has a lot of potential, but drops the ball on basic stuff.Show lessCountach747
Good on iPhone 5. Freezes on iPad 2.
This is the best music app I've found in two hours searching to replace Apple's MISERABLE native Music app on iOS 9.3.3 on an iPhone 5. However, TapTunes freezes in iOS 9.3.3 on an iPad 2. After Apple abandoned sense beginning with the release of several iOS 8 consistently broken versions, the iOS 8 Music player nonetheless worked well. If they weren't before, Apple's managers are certainly now greedy corporate schmucks doing their part to churn software breakage into sales of new mobile devices which use ever more destructive conflict minerals to hasten the demise of Earth's ecosystems. And while I'm writing about software, iTunes software for PC was a giant step backward by deleting valuable features, confusing the user interface by moving everything around, and adding sales crap. And on a *perfectly* maintained Windows 7 box the cursor in iTunes 12 has gone missing.Show lessThe Soul Rider
