After a while started to cause problems with other media playing. **Developer response:** You must really dislike our apps. You have left consistent negative reviews against multiple of our apps. Actually, searching more for your username you seem quite grumpy on the App Store. Consider using our support channels if you know how to send emails :) Consider updating your review to make grammatical sense... ### 1/5 — Nope !!! *2023-12-23* Can’t get app to connect to Apple Music! Rebooted iPhone! Still No! Deleted and reinstalled: No! Tried starting Apple Music first both before and after rebooting: No! Can’t get past connection arrow in app. Model 14 with all latest updates. Can’t post without single star should be -1 stars. ### 2/5 — Sad *2025-01-01* I bought the app because I just wanted the dynamic island to have volume options, I didn’t want to play any music, but unfortunately the app will not let you use any of the dynamic options if a song isn’t playing. ### 2/5 — elegant: dynamic island for 1 music player vol controls *2024-11-26* love it — simple, elegant. dynamic island control for— loop 1 song, vol change. sadly you have to navigate to media player (2nd dynamic island app to pause/resume). also limited to one media player (a setting). i had assumed it universal and operated like apple’s volume control eg across all media players ### 3/5 — Like your app *2023-12-15, version 1.1.0* I like your app. But there’s one control that I would love to see you add that Apple still hasn’t added to today. A Quick and Easy way to access Equalizer. I’d love to be able to switch the EQ on the spot with out going in settings. If you could add that. Be awesome. Thanks. ### 3/5 — not bad *2023-12-08, version 1.1.0* love the idea, but the only way i could think of to get this to automatically start with my music was to create a shortcut to start the live activity whenever i open spotify, but it requires me to press a continue button so it’s not quite automatic. ### 4/5 — Please add more controls *2025-02-15* Cool app but could you add a start pause /stop button ### 5/5 — fireeee *2026-03-17* 😍 ### 5/5 — fireeee *2025-05-13* 😍 ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2025-02-15* Does exactly what it says on the tin awesome app cheers guys ### 5/5 — Verified buyer *2025-01-11* Love the app and features but jave few suggestions maybe add more apps from store and support for own music app of choice on phone so we can use and run on music we bought or downloaded on to iphone like reddle documents app ### 5/5 — Great but needs Yotube Music *2024-11-12* I’ve had so many times in my car where I wanted to go back relisten to a part and nearly crash… having quick 5, 15 second reverse and forward comes in clutch. Just needs YouTube music please… ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-12-15* I just installed this app, and I’m impressed so far. It’s so handy to have more music controls on the lock screen. ### 5/5 — Great little utility *2023-12-14* which would be even greater if it interfaced with Tidal! ### 5/5 — Pretty amazing control bar *2023-09-30* I’m very impressed with the features & the numerous options having to modify the bar to anyone's liking. I’m glad I read about this option available in IOS 17. ### 5/5 — need more app integrations *2023-09-28* can we please get “Anghami” support? **Developer response:** Hi, Thanks for your review. Anghami does not provide developers the necessary tools at this stage to make ControlBar work unfortunately. If they do in the future, we will take a look into it.
