Only works with iCloud/iTunes
It needs to be clearer in the ios app description that music must be added through an iTunes account. Which is completely useless for people like me who want to stay clear of iCloud or streaming (especially as these have a limited music selection). Even adding a playlist on this app requires you to go through iTunes.

I LOVE IT
Slick as a goose. Also can show my notes (in “lyrics”) to provide a more seriously curated collection. Best music player app I’ve tried by far. Gives what I want without idiot suggestions of radio stations and playlists. But if you want to fool around “settings” offers an ample playground.
Simply the Best
I’ve been using Cs as my go to music player and it has replaced the Apple Music app on my Home screen for 5 years and counting.
It is perfect for playing your local library with all the sorting and playing options you could want. For me, it is sorting albums (and thus songs) by artist in release date ascending.
If you do have an iTunes/Apple Music library it will happily display and play that too, if you want.
It is a nicely polished and enjoyable app.
Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic
I love this app, I used it for a long time because I preferred setting it up a bit like the old built in music app. With artist/album ect along the bottom rather then the confusing mess Music app has become. The design is satisfyingly clean and customisable. Stable as all heck and no annoying subscriptions. (Though you can send the developer a tip when you fancy supporting development in the settings menu)
I briefly went back to the buit in music app, but it absolutely refuses to accept I don’t use Apple Music (streaming service.) I would be going into settings and disabling it several times a week.
So I said screw it and came back to CS music, so glad I did. It’s got even better!
The new activity’s section is really handy even though I don’t want it as the default. Now I’ve got the bottom toolbar set up as artist/albums/playlists/activities. Best of all worlds.
The only thing I don’t like about this app isn’t the developers fault. You can’t set an album to pre download to your phone, say if your going somewhere without signal and want an album pre downloaded, but this is an OS limitation so ill be sending some feedback to apple to let third party’s do this on a regular basis. 😂 in the mean time you can just go into the music app and download everything there then come back to this glorious app.

Missing the highlight
I love this app, but a few weeks ago I noticed the song playing is not highlighted anymore and it makes hard to find in my list when am scrolling fast.
If could bring it back I would be happy

Best Music player there is. Simple. Clean. Easy to use.
Have used CS for the past few years now. A simple easy to use music player unhindered by Apple’s current policy of pushing Apple Music. CS harkens to the old days of classic iOS deign that equally prioritises function as well as form.
Small request: Would it be okay to get an option to hide the volume bar? I use the side buttons and would rather prefer to hide it when swiping between songs. Thanks!

Great App - with Landscape
Finally found an app with Landscape mode for the player. One comment would be is that the album artwork should be bigger in landscape mode. No need for the volume and the track progress to take up the space they do.
Does not work with personal collection
Looks like I’ve just wasted my money. I got this because it is supposed to work with your personal collection not Apple Music only. Developer: Unlike VLC for example it does not appear in the Files section when I connect to my Mac. How do you add music you own? That’s what the reviews of this app say it is for. Angry and disappointed.

It’s good
This is a pretty good app. It does what it says it does. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and am generally happy with it. What prevents me from giving it 5 stars is the lack of ability to download songs from within this app. You must go to the apple music app to do this. And also not being able to show only downloaded songs/ albums/ playlists. This would be very helpful when i’m travelling and have to watch my data

Great classic music app.
I love the app, but what happened to the swop gesture to switch between local and cloud music? That was the handiest feature ever.
