cool app but seems limited

The app is so close to perfect! It does allow you to pick albums and then get them to play automatically with a tap of a widget but playlists don't work. I have a few playlists I listen to a lot. Part of why I use this app is because I hate interacting with the stock iOS music player app. It just so annoying. So playlists would be a very welcome addition.

Used to be great

I still regularly use the app, however with no updates in over a year I’m guessing it’s no longer supported by the developers and with every iOS update it becomes more buggy and unreliable. Such a shame.

Nice

Exactly what I was looking for.

Love!

This app is very simple, but great. Would love being able to make more than the one collection of albums and then be able to add as a widget and select the collection to display.

love it

Great to have my favorite and in-rotation albms close to hand. I came for the widgets, but stayed for the coverview with one touch!
