Just what I needed. Would love CarPlay.
The app is great. Super easy to use and just what I wanted/needed for music. I hope to see a CarPlay app soon too.
Thank you for this!
I was incredibly disappointed that Apple removed the “shuffle album” option. This is a simple and effective replacement!
Absolutely delighted!
Thank you so much for this! I adore my iPod classic, and this function is one of the reasons why. This works perfectly with music transferred via iTunes (I’m currently using an iPhone 11). I’m off to do my happy dance now!
Excellent
I really like shuffling by album and this app does not disappoint.
Also excellent timely responses from Mike if you run into any issues.

essential app
Tried to contact developer through the app, which is in the settings. Problem is, no email ever popped up, so I’m leaving feedback here.
Filtering by playlists isn’t available in this version, but filtering by genres is. The app doesn’t see the playlists. Or perhaps there’s a toggle in settings that’s broken. Hope this is fixable and if so, fixed soon.

Defeats the Purpose
This app has a nice interface and seems to be better than some others at picking truly random selections, but it is worse than the free apps when it comes to maintaining a playlist. I want to shuffle albums on my car stereo with some continuity (actually listening to a whole album followed by another). If I get out of the car for a few hours and do some other things on my phone, this app “forgets” the playlist it had going. I don’t want to start a new shuffle every day, or even multiple times in a day.

Useful features that should be standard
This app has useful features that should have been standard in Apple's music player. Since they are not this app is great.
Beware that as of the current version 1.22 filters are unreliable and you may end up hearing stuff that should have been filtered out. I contacted the developer about this so hopefully it gets fixed.
Update: the dev worked with me to quickly solve the filter bug. Yay for responsive devs!

This is a good app, only wish I can put it on the widgets list

Great job Michael, my old iPod classic would shuffle albums. Although the new iPod touch doesn't have this feature. Thanks to this great app I can once again listen to albums in their "completeness". Brilliant.
Very good app
Does exactly as it says on the tin. It's first album shuffler that has suited my classical music only gendre. It shuffles through the entire collection well, not giving too much of one particular composer.
Well done Mr Blakeley, although I don't know why Apple didn't think about putting an album shuffle mode on the Ipod Touch, epecially when there was a perfectly good one incuded with the Ipod Classic.

Nice idea, but ...
I really want to like this, but there is a flaw in the randomization algorithm. The same group of about 20 albums (maybe more or less, I've never tried to count) is shuffled over and over and re-shuffling simply changes the order rather than loading a new group of albums. So if you wait long enough you just end up listening to the same things over and over again while the majority of music on your device is ignored. This is the only thing that is stopping me from using it regularly.

Yes!!!
Really missed album shuffle. This app is the perfect solution.
Can't choose first song
I really love this app for letting me finally shuffle albums on my iPod touch. However, one of my biggest problems is that you can't choose one song or album to start and then shuffle from there. If you already have a song playing, once you open this app it will disregard the rest of the Album playing and start a new queue. Being able to choose a song from the app interface would be great too, instead of having to keep going back to the Music app to choose a song.
This would get 5 stars if you could do something other than simply shuffle your library.

Great Idea, but Crashes Unexpectedly...
This app is wonderful... when it is working properly. However, my experience is that it randomly crashes my iPad when I hit the "skip album" button. Let me be clear, it's not just the app that crashes, it causes the iPad itself to reboot. When I reported my problems, the message I received back was dismissive, and they only wanted to blame Apple rather than admit that they had problems with their app.
Also, a lesser problem is that the app ignores the orientation of the device and defaults to a vertical presentation, even when it was previously opened in a horizontal orientation and not moved before opening the app again.
In short, this app is a great idea with poor writing behind it, and it does not deserve the high ratings it has received until they can fix these problems.

So good!
Well worth the money. I would give it five stars if it allowed you to shuffle more than 50 albums to eliminate repeats.
Continues to be the best
Couldn't listen to my music collection without it. Works flawlessly with iTunes Match.
Great app
Great app, user-friendly interface, and excellent customer support.

Wow, i can't thank you enough for this app, so missed that feature from apple, glad someone brought it back.
Couldn't do without it!
First and foremost, for me to get through my cardio sessions, I need my music!
So when my iPod 4th Generation started to act up, I went out and got an iPod Touch. All was good and I was impressed and excited until I realized there was no loger shuffle by album!!! :(
I live for this feature! I have my favorite albums for cardio in a Playlist and then I would use that shuffle by album feature to randomize by album. I seriously considered returning my iPod Touch because randomizing by track would definitely NOT work for me.
I really couldn't believe the feature was missing, so I thought I just didn't know how to do it. That's when I turned to the internet and found out that it wasn't me after all and then I found this great app!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Very highly recommended.
In the previous version, I noticed some bugs with the randomization feature because some albums would replay a couple of albums after they had been played. I'm hoping that this is fixed in this new version. Still, is is a small annoyance to pay for not having a feature I desperately need while doing my cardio.

Must-Have App
As a listener of full albums, I had to have this app. Works perfectly and is light and simple, offering up a feature that should be built-in to iOS in the first place.
