### 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!!

### 4/5 — ACTUALIZACIÓN

*2012-10-10, version 1.7*

Después de la última actualización ya no aparece la opción de elegir - seleccionar todas las canciones. Era interesante porque te permite elegir todas las canciones sin tener que darle una a una. Por el resto el programa me parece genial, lo llevo usando mucho tiempo y es la mejor aplicación para poner la música en el coche con el iPhone.

### 5/5 — 1a mit tomtom carkit etc

*2011-02-18, version 1.7*

genau was ich gesucht habe. bin begeistert. absolut empfehlenswert fuer nutzung im auto.

### 5/5 — Yup works great

*2011-01-27, version 1.7*

I like it. Not the most attractive fonts and looks, but this is how the iPod app should have been made. Feels natural to skip songs by swiping. I use it even when not driving. 

An update to make it look better would be awesome

### 3/5 — Meh, it's ok.

*2011-01-07*

The app looks great, its easy to read, use, and performs good.

Opus has more controls options and the music seach is also better. With this app you will only be able create and use playlists. On the other hand, Opus allows easy searching of your music library with the quick search feature (pick your letter). However, this app, while playing and using the controls, looks bigger and better, making it easier to read.

I hope they fix the music search menu and make it more like the original iPod menu and not playlist mode, but still having that option.

### 5/5 — Toll und Einfach

*2010-12-13, version 1.6*

Klappt Super Einfach, Ist sehr gut im Auto oder beim Sport im Armband zu bedienen. Ein Vorteil ist für mich, dass man es so einstellen kann, dass Display hell bleibt und nicht in Sperre geht. Dann kann man jeden guten Kopfhörer ohne Tasten verwenden und ohne hinzusehen Skippen und Lautstärke verändern

### 4/5 — Impeccable dans la voiture

*2010-11-06, version 0*

Dommage qu'il ne mémorise pas les réglages (liste/iPod/shuffle, etc) mais sinon c'est tres beau, tres bien fait, fonctionne sans buguer. Donc ca mérite quatre étoiles !

### 5/5 — Muy buena

*2010-10-26, version 0*

Muy útil y máxima sencillez. Enhorabuena.

### 4/5 — Good

*2010-10-10, version 0*

Good app but if you want to search a song of the list you are playing, you don't hace the option. You cannot check which songs aré in the list you are playing

### 5/5 — Imprescindible

*2010-10-09, version 0*

Funciona muy bien. Un acierto.

### 4/5 — Prima ....

*2010-10-08, version 0*

Echt gut

### 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.

### 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)

### 1/5 — Geht nicht

*2013-10-22, version 1.80*

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

### 1/5 — Müll

*2013-10-21, version 1.80*

Hässliches Design, unübersichtliches Menü das lediglich auf "Musik / iPod" verlinkt. Das ist doch quatsch! Schlecht umgesetzt, dafür gibt es nur 1 Stern!

### 1/5 — Nearly perfect

*2013-10-02*

Loved this on ios6, but wont work on ios7. The screen goes blank when you press select songs from ipod button and you have no option but to close the app. Come on guys - sort it out!

### 1/5 — needs Update

*2012-11-12, version 1.7*

doesnt work with ios6 :-(

### 1/5 — Fregatura!

*2010-12-30, version 1.7*

Costava 1 € e 99 ma lo davano in offerta a 0,79 cent. E invece mi e' stato addebitato a più di 6€!

### 1/5 — No funciona la funcion de inactivar bloqueo

*2010-08-14, version 0*

¡Ojo! No funciona la funcion de inactivar bloqueo. Una estafa.

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Einfach und gut

*2013-10-22, version 1.80*

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

### 5/5 — Muy bueno

*2013-10-21, version 1.80*

Muy bueno

### 5/5 — Semplice e funzionale

*2013-10-18, version 1.80*

Fa quello che deve fare e lo fa bene. Le gestures sono talmente intuitive che non serve leggere le istruzioni

### 5/5 — Vale a pena.

*2012-07-02, version 1.7*

Esse app é muito bom prá ouvir música no carro.

### 5/5 — A must-have

*2011-12-19, version 1.7*

This app is a must-have for everyone who used the iPhone to listen to music in the car. No better app out there!

### 5/5 — Exelente aplicación

*2011-04-10, version 1.7*

Excelente aplicación solo q consume mucha energia

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2011-03-12, version 1.7*

Cómodo, sencillo y practico. Muy buena aplicación.
