Great app
amazing
Best Scrobbler I’ve Used
Scrobbles just fine with the app running in the background.
A rare gem
Invaluable music app
Great customisation, but unreliable
But it is so often unreliable. At the moment, for example, it just can't play any music. I have no idea why. I tap into a playlist, select a song... and it won't play. Regardless of which player is selected. Maybe the answer is to delete it and reinstall, but I just don't want to live my life constantly doing that, with what should be a straightforward music app.
Marvis Pro Rocks!
You can display anything (playlists, songs, genres) as albums covers. And You can display 2, 3, 4 per row.
You can sort by so many more ways than the Apple app.
This app takes away so many Apple Music app limitations. I can view my library much easier. It looks so much better. I can find things much easier.
If you use JRiver or Roon or a product like that, you can do a lot of the things they can do.
I am listening to more music as a result.
It takes a bit to wrap your head around how to do it all, but once you get it, it’s awesome. And so is the support. I had a great back and forth email chain with the developer and learned a lot.
Near-perfect music app, with one horrible defect
For some reason, the app continually shifts to displaying ONLY downloaded music, rather than my full music library. I can't tell if this happens whenever the app silently updates, or if there's some godforsaken multitouch trigger that I'm activating without knowing it, but the bulk of my library suddenly vanishes. Search breaks. All music views break. What's more, toggling that setting back requires me to leap through 3-4 finicky and obscure menu screens, in addition to closing whatever series of contextual views I have open.
This might sound small, but it's enough of a pain—and happens frequently enough—that I still keep Apple's default music app on my lock screen, even though it's inferior to Marvis in every other way. This bug is just that bad. Bad enough that it can genuinely kill an otherwise good mood.
When Marvis works as it ought to, it's terrific. But I cannot in good conscience recommend it to others.
Great when it works, and a UI nightmare when it doesn’t
Most recently, the app’s heavy reliance on custom long-press and drag gestures seems to conflict deeply with standard iOS text selection wrappers. When trying to use basic text drag-and-drop tools or standard selection anchors within modals or share sheets triggered inside Marvis, the interface repeatedly hijacks the touch coordinates. It drops inputs after a few characters, completely breaking basic copy-paste and text management functionality.
There is also no repeat one, all, or none functionality.
The core irony is that when you run into a UI issue and attempt to report or share it, the app's own interface bugs prevent you from executing the basic text actions needed to do so efficiently.
While the level of customization is unparalleled, an app meant to streamline the music-listening experience shouldn't require this much friction or a screen nightmare just to handle basic tasks.
Underrated, suprised I never heard of it
First thing I did was modify most played to only show the last 6 years. (Don't like the depressing music I spammed 7-8 years ago that filled that playlist and made it useless) I have so many ideas about how to rediscover songs I've forgotten, I was already going through my library andthis makes it so much easier.
(You technically can do this all for free using shortcuts but it's a hassle to setup and modify)

Superbe application
Indispensable
Crashes constantly
Amazing!
LastFM Scrobbling is back
Marvis Pro acts as a front-end to Apple Music, but has the added benefit of being able to scrobble as you go.
Please add Mac support, as it would be a game-changer.
