Acceptable
Sorry, some of the reviews i read said this app would cure my issue with the iPhone Apple app and cure the Cover Art issue. The Apple app has asssigned most of the Album Civer art completely wrong. This app did not help that issue.
Works well, happy
Good alternative to the standard music player, and most importantly, Podcasts + Music in one interface!!

Excellent player
I have tried several IOS music players and Harken comes out on top. I listen to my music through Smart playlists and the play count updating is essential for them to function. The artwork always displayed without shutting down as the Apple player does, is great. Ecoute is the only other player that has these functions, as far as I have found, but Harken has a much more user friendly interface. The stop/play tap on screen is great. Now if only Ben could implement the crossfade function he would get 5 stars.

Thank you for your kind words 5howie. Reviews really help independent developers like me, so people can decide whether to pay for an app.

Do you have music synched to your phone?
The ONLY Music App I Use
Simple, clean, easy to use interface. I love the clean, uncluttered, easy-to-use interface with nice big album art. This is perfect for use when in a vehicle because song play is controlled by taps and gestures anywhere on the screen.
Response from developer
Thanks for such a glowing review! I've got a potential implementation for lyrics and I'd be forever grateful if you could help me test it before I release it. I can send you a test build with Apple's TestFlight if you're interested. All I need is your email address - please send to support@thomases.id.au.
Canβt figure it out
Not easy at all to download music from iTunes. :( I had high hopes but itβs back to the drawing board ...,,,,,
Font very difficult to read
IN theory looks quite a nice app, but if youβve ANY issues with eyesight, this will be impossible to read. All fonts in this are very thin and accessibility settings seem to be ignored.
Response from developer
Hi Paul, Please try the latest version. There are many fonts to choose from, and I've moved away from the thin ones so I hope that makes it easier to use. Respecting your accessibility settings is a high priority for me and I hope to add that feature soon.
One of the best replacement apps for music and podcasts
I use Harken for iPhone pretty much everyday, especially to listen to podcasts while driving. It's easy to use, looks good, uses gestures that are natural, and the programmer responds positively to feedback. (For my part, I try to keep that feedback useful. :-) About the only thing I could ask for at this point is a universal app; I have it installed on my iPad anyway.

works well, looks great
All the functionality of the built-in iOS music player (except radio, which I don't miss) PLUS one-touch album playing, podcasts, the ability to mix songs, audiobooks and podcasts in a single playlist, and an elegant interface that's a pleasure to look at. Love it. Ben's been steadily developing the app and has plans for more improvements in the future.

Still my go to music app in the car
This little app has pushed its way onto the first page of my apps. I use it every day to listen to music in the car without having to look at my phone to pause or change tracks. Works well in conjunction with the built in music player app.
