User reviews

Limited functionality

Settings - cannot access. Colour - cannot change.
Seems to be locked with no guidance of how to change anything.

(Iphone 17pro.)

Too buggy

A very faithful approximation of an iPod class with the best UI of any music player ever. Unfortunately, buggy. Extremely often the Menu button just doesn’t work, so you’re left with no way to go back, and it’s possible to get stuck with only a single song playable until you restart the app.

I’m never gonna use something that wastes my time that much, even if it’s free.

Also, maybe you just wanted to be faithful to the original’s dimensions, but it would be way better making it full screen instead of just an iPod in the middle of the screen. That’s just wasted space.

Better than expected

I saw the lower reviews and was hesitant on downloading, very pleased with how it functions. If you download this expecting to play old iPod games or change certain things you can’t. But it’s a great little nostalgic app that frees you from switching apps

No ads/no subscriptions but missing stuff

This app is amazingly simple and true to its word: it mimics an iPod circa 2008. I wanted to fine tune my experience and up the haptic feedback to a higher setting, because you don’t get a whole lot of haptics by default, and with a modern device’s touch screen, pushing the menu/pause play buttons feels very strange. You don’t get the clicky feedback you otherwise would on a real iPod. Included in the iPod main menu, are “settings” and “extras,” neither of which actually work. Tbh that was my only let down. I simply wanted to see if I could turn the haptics up to a higher setting, to perhaps get a more push button feedback, similar to the one you get with Apple’s 3D Touch/Live Photo feature on a normal iPhone. Well, hopefully the devs read this and add that functionality. When they do, it’s def 5/5 stars from me!!
