### 4/5 — Nice simple app

*2025-07-01*

If developer still active just want to say app is what I’ve been looking for but if you could, could you fix the volume bug when bringing down player and back up goes all the way down.   Also can the player be full dark mode like the rest of the app and lastly if we could reorder the bottom tabs.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 4/5 — Not working for me 💔

*2023-08-30*

It looks nice but As I have not subscribed to Apple Music so this app is useless for me I'm looking for a music player app that can import a playlist from YouTube (music playlist), and you can download all songs and play them without internet. And adding a new ui for more comfortable use of files and the playlist and Easily access files. And access to google drive files. I hope this two annoying problem will be solved. 

(Youtube playlist & google drive)

### 2/5 — Please Add Lock Screen Controls/ Fix Songs Start Playing in the Middle of the Track

*2022-09-16*

Please Add Lock Screen Controls so I can skip songs on the lockscreen and on my Apple watch. This only has the 30 second fast forward. Also, some songs don't start playing from the beginning. Then this app will be perfect!

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-09-29*

No BS. Would be nice if the text scaled with the system setting. At the moment the text is quite large in comparison to all other apps. Good stuff otherwise.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I will include this in the next update.

### 5/5 — Add local music support

*2020-09-19*

Please add local music support so i can add downloaded musics. it would be great for people who dosnt have a music subscription. Love your app keep up the great work.

**Developer response:** The app uses the same music library that Music.app uses. So if you sync music onto your phone via the Finder, it will show up in Dot.
