Stylish app

I think it would be good if it had a repeat playback function and a repeat function for each song, so that it can play even when it's open!

I would be happy if you could also read the lists, not just the albums from Applemusic.

I would be happy if there was a function that allows you to add songs directly from mp3.

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks a lot for your feedback. We are working on more improvements to our Apple Music Integration. You should able to import the MP3 songs. Just put them in a folder in the files app, and pick the files app more from the UI (the music notes icon) to pick your local mp3 files.

Good overall

Good overall app that is playing on the cool factor of old portable devices but needs work on the appearance (should show the whole device with buttons on the side) and also the animation of the tape spools is running backwards compared to the real thing.

Response from developer

Hi Thanks a lot for the feedback. Constantly working on improving the UI. We have made the spool animation work properly with the latest update (1.0.3)

Great app

I love this app! I just wish you could change the cover art. When I add local music files, the artwork is square and gets cut off at the sides. It would be great if the app could find the cassette cover art online and save the image to Photos and add it yourself, so it fits properly I’d still let the app put one in as it dose now just let you change it if you want by holding it down like same place you can change the name of the album. I also wish it supported Spotify, as I have Spotify Premium. For now, I use the app with local files, and it works really well.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the feedback! That's a great suggestion. We're working on Spotify integration and are also working on fixing the cover art.

弥补了我的童年walkman的缺席,谢谢开发者

Waste of money

Useless app and want refund

애플 뮤직 플레이리스트 연동이 있으면 좋겠습니다.

애플 뮤직으로 사용 시 내 플레이리스트 또는 맞춤 스테이션을 재생할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다.

So fun but would love to see a tiny change!

This is so nostalgic and fun! I saw a video of someone doing it on the iPhone duo and knew I had to have it! It’s easy to use and really brings you back to the old Walkmans! The only part I don’t like is that when you put in the cassette or you close the phone and see the cassette player, there’s no indicator of what you’re playing, a small circle or picture or graphic on the cassette player or actual cassette that shows the band or artist would be really helpful and cute. Otherwise love it!

3 star app, 5 star potential

The biggest issue with this app is that it will only play one song at a time. I understand the cassette experience, but there were at least two sides to an album. The music also stops while trying to change songs or find the settings (I never found the settings)

Must have Apple Music

It’s not specified in the description at all, but you must either have local music on your phone or an Apple Music Library/Subscription to use this. It’s a waste of money if you don’t. There is no third party app integration. A mention of this in the description could’ve save me $5

Perfect for the duo!

Works just as expected, and really brings back the nostalgia of my old Walkman I used in my old newspaper route days! 😃

Would love to see a “mixtape” (playlist) option!

Fun App

Hoping they update with the ability to use pics to customize your own theme if your Deck-Man. Would love to make it look like a Sony Walkman

Retro-inspired fun

I like the limits that the app sets so that I can enjoy the music in more traditional ways (whole albums, no shuffle). I actually started appreciating the experience of listening to full albums.

Few feedbacks though:
- Playlist support. Maybe you can apply the concept of mixtapes.
- Remembering the last played position. It seems the app forgets the position when it’s terminated.

Otherwise, a great app for iPhone Duo!

Very surprised

This app is very nice and is a new unique digital way to listen to music and I only have one complaint, if you have a lot of albums in your Apple Music library it will lag a lot but otherwise is a very nice app.

It’s okay

After the initial wow factor, you begin to see the irritating limitations. Music doesn’t stop when you hit pause, it fades. There’s only a couple of skins for the player and no control over how the cassettes look. The fast-forward and rewind sound, when the play head isn’t engaged, is just a loud white noise hiss… did no one who owned a Walkman work on this app?

Still, I’m treating this like an early version. I have faith that they’ll make improvements. For $5 paid sight unseen, there had better be.

Nice!

I miss the feeling of brushed metal and that resounding ‘clack’ as you open/close the devices.
Currently I’ve not fathomed how to find my ‘mixtapes’ (playlists) but this is version 1.0.2 so there’s time for those to appear.
Another awesome feature would be the ability to point to a folder in my iCloud storage rather than just on my device, but again I’m hopeful this is a later addition.
With those two additions it would be a 5*

Really good

Very nostalgic and clever. Would be great to support all music on Apple Music - eg could it support playlists and they could be called ‘mix tapes’ or something similar?

apple Music geht nicht

Die Verbindung zu Apple Music geht aktuell leider bei mir nicht.

Initially very cool but gets old fast

needs more options. for the price, i thought there’d be a few more options, skins. i mean only 6 skins? how are there not 20 or more? how about some iconic cassette player models? some with lcd screens and a second counter? more skins please!

Not quite as awesome as the ad pre-release, but pretty cool concept.

I saw the duo-man on some pre-release advertisements and thought it looked super cool. It is cool but something feels different. Maybe the graphics, maybe some functionality. It would be cool if it would overlay the artist name on the covers of the cassettes. A list of songs on the album would be nice. Find a creative way to make the album art fit the cassettes. I’m sure some AI program can resize or otherwise rotate the image to ensure the artist/cover info displays properly idk. Overall cool app.

Good old fashioned fun

The app reminds me of those good old Walkman days. Straight forward and fun. However I do have 2 suggestions, first it might be nice to have albums listed in alphabetical order. Second is when iPhone about to go to sleep, the Deck-Man interface changed back to Apple Music. Would be nice to maintain Deck-Man own interface when wakes up iPhone for the next album. Thanks.
