### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2018-12-19*

Ever since CarTunes stopped working with my new iPhone, I’ve been looking for a good, gesture-based music player for the car. This is it! Does everything I want with a simple, clean interface. I contacted the developer about a new feature and got a quick reply with a message that the feature would be incorporated into the latest build. Can’t ask for better support. Highly recommended.

### 3/5 — Revamping is a MUST

*2018-05-23, version 2.03*

It simply works. I’d suggest simplifying the interface with minimalistic design and full screen music cover, as you are DRIVING, and less is more. I think it is the only app that does the job properly. And it has not been updated for over a year. I’d give it 5 stars if revamped. It looks 90s!!

### 1/5 — Oops! Bad update!

*2015-10-10*

This USED to be the premier music app on my phone, but since the new update it won't even open! I've had to revert to using the regular music player. Ugh!

Undo what you did! Give me back my Gesture Music!

### 1/5 — Peccato....

*2013-10-24, version 1.80*

L'app funziona solo se i dati vengono trasmessi dall'iPod.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2013-10-23, version 1.80*

mit IPhone 4S und IOS 5.1.1.
Wie schon beschrieben, kommt die App nicht über den Start hinaus.

### 5/5 — Richtig gut!!

*2013-10-22, version 1.80*

Super App und echt nützlich.
Aber bitte an iOS7 Design anpassen, vielleicht ein schön helles, weißes Design, oder eine Auswahlfunktion damit man entscheiden kann, welches Design man möchte.

### 5/5 — ESTUPENDA

*2013-10-22, version 1.80*

Es una App increíble. La recomiendo por su fácil uso, comodidad y utilidad que tiene.

### 1/5 — Tja...

*2013-10-22, version 1.80*

...startet, zeigt mir das Playerdesign, wo dann aber alles schwarz bleibt und außer dass "Label" dortsteht, nichts mehr passiert und das war's dann. 
Keine Reaktion auf irgendwas, kein Anzeigen der Musikbibliothek. Schade, Idee find ich eigtl. nicht schlecht. 

Somit unbrauchbar (iPhone 4S, 5.1.1)

### 5/5 — Einfach und gut

*2013-10-22, version 1.80*

Minimaler Aufwand so wie beschrieben, bei minimaler Ablenkung. Fürs Auto klasse.

### 1/5 — Geht nicht

*2013-10-22, version 1.80*

Leider ohne Funktion. iOS 7
Musik läuft und läuft..,,
Schade.
