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!!

This app wasn't working

This app wasn't working, every botton wasn't working no matter which one I pressed. This app was a waste of my time. Fix this bs

Like it

It clicks like the iPod classic did .. I had one .. yes I wish it was as big as the phone but it’s fine .. if you want the playlists to shuffle just go to the Apple Music and have them shuffle there then go back to the retro app and they will in that app .. not a big deal to me at all .. For what Apple allows you do with this app I’m impressed 🥰

The app is good

The app is good, but it doesn’t let me enter the extras menu for some reason.

不好用

啊啊啊啊啊 不好用!!!!!!!!!

Spotify

Please add support for Spotify, not just Apple Music.

The menu button

Great app! I love the old retro iPod 6th gen design. The only thing is it shuffles my songs no matter what I do and the menu button sometimes doesn’t work

Possibilities

Interesting experience…
Would really love if it were to allow to play offline music tracks that are downloaded onto the device

Problems

Its not working and loading and the app crashes itself that’s all

Like the original, but…

THE PROS: Works great with your Apple library! It’ll play every song. And while Apple won’t allow them to use the round click wheel, it’s just fine if it’s shaped like a hexagon. Personally, I don’t mind…in fact, I kinda like it. It performs well, it does what they says it will do.

THE CONS: But you can’t change the font size for people who are visually impaired like myself. I don’t mind the albums being listed alphabetically, but what about the people who want listed by the artist?

On a side note, any MP3’s or other than Apple library music it will not play. But then you couldn’t play other MP3’s or other from some other source. Neither did the original.

Pas mal mais bug à régler

Franchement l’app a du potentiel mais il faut absolument régler certains bug

Do u know

Can i link it with my Spotify?

Très sympa... Avec un bémol.

Une appli très sympa avec une interface nostalgique d'iPod Classic.

Mais il y a de petits bugs un peu frustrants... Rien d'insurmontable donc merci de juste de faire des mises à jour de corrections... Apple devrait y penser d'ailleurs 😅

Great but…

The app has a great concept and looks amazing, especially for anyone nostalgic about the original iPod Classic. However, it currently lacks many core features. Several options don’t function properly—Cover Flow view doesn’t work, the song list doesn’t scroll, shuffle isn’t functional, and the menu button is often unresponsive. With these issues fixed, this could be an excellent app. Hoping the developer addresses these issues in the upcoming update.

Nothing works?

Double tapping the screen rescales the app and takes me home, but none of the buttons work. Also no way to add music…?

would’ve been great IF I haven’t been blocked out of the app anytime I try to listen to music

please don’t waste ur time

Cool but….

Nice concept but fullscreen would make more sense. Settings and extras does nothing. Cover Flow doesn’t open. Several of the navigation controls like going back don’t work unless a song is playing. Considering this was last updated 4 years ago I’d probably say this is dead now.
