不过还是不错的

### 5/5 — Good But…

*2026-07-15, version 9.0*

A well-built app with attractive and eye-catching features. I just found one annoying and frustrating thing: when I swipe to change the song, I end up changing the theme instead, while this feature should be placed in a separate icon, because the user doesn't need to change the app's theme several times a day — at least not by swiping, which in most apps is meant for skipping tracks.And also, when I try to skip forward through the song, I run into the same issue with the UI theme changing again. It seems like the sensitivity to movements on the interface is too high, and it interferes with the commands

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 10.0 — 2026-07-19

Introducing Album Lightfield MK-XV, our 15th collectible player — a tactile gold-plated deck with glowing optical lightfields and a real, physically spinning CD. It's the most detailed build in the collectible lineup yet.

Every collectible player theme got a visual pass this update: richer materials, smoother motion, and tighter control layouts across Aurora, Boombox, Cassette, CD, HoloCube, iPod Classic, Ink Scroll, Koi Tank, Mechanical, Modular Synth, Music Box, Tube Radio, Turntable, and Walkman. Classic full-screen player themes also got corrected top spacing and control alignment.

Saved Queues in your Library have been redesigned with a cleaner hero layout, drag-to-reorder, a remaining-time counter, and one-tap shuffle play, so jumping back into a curated set feels quicker and clearer.

Share Cards are more reliable: fixed exports that came out tiny or blurred, fixed Apple Music artwork that could silently fail to load, and added Save to Photos plus a real App Store link with a QR watermark. The share feature is now fully localized in German, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Korean.

Fixed the full-screen player's swipe gesture switching themes instead of skipping tracks — it now changes songs, with theme switching moved to its own picker. Fixed Live Activity, widgets, and Apple Watch not updating playback state or lyrics while playing from your Apple Music library. Fixed the play/pause button occasionally falling out of sync after using the equalizer. Fixed locked player themes that could freeze the full-screen player. Tightened control layout and spacing across several player themes.

### 9.0 — 2026-07-15

iGrooveMuse now lives on your Lock Screen and Apple Watch — see what's playing and control it without opening the app.

New circular, rectangular, and inline Lock Screen widgets keep your now-playing track one glance away, and a redesigned Live Activity brings real album art and playback controls to the Dynamic Island. A new Apple Watch companion app puts play, pause, and skip right on your wrist, with your current song synced automatically from your iPhone.

Library, Playlists, and Rankings now share a cleaner, more consistent archive layout, and saved queues get their own section in your Library so you can jump back into a curated set without rebuilding it. Purchases and music imports feel smoother too, with clearer success confirmations and toast feedback throughout the app.

Apple Music-powered Discovery brings trending tracks, curated recommendations, and the 100 Best Albums collection right into your library (requires the All New Player & New Features unlock). Play Next lets you tap once to slot a song in right after the one you're playing, and swipe gestures on playlists make queue management faster. iGrooveMuse now speaks six more languages, with matching translations across the home screen widget.

A major stability pass across the app: the playback engine, queue syncing, and screen navigation now hold up far better under heavy use, with fewer stalls and fewer edge-case crashes. Player themes gained smoother motion and richer vinyl, cassette, and CD visuals. Settings moved to the bottom tab bar for one-tap access, with new localized app icons to match. The queue view is now unified across the app for a cleaner, more consistent feel.

Fixed the queue stopping unexpectedly after the current song finished playing. Fixed a rare crash triggered by background logging. Fixed the player incorrectly re-advancing to the same song instead of moving to the next one. Tightened page margins and mini player spacing, and corrected the phone frame layout in select player themes.
