A rare gem
A rare gem of an app that works for you, not against you, allowing you to customise the player to display the information you want (star ratings for me). How software should be! Thank you!
Invaluable music app
Nothing compares to Marvis nothing is better for rediscovering your own music collecting
Great customisation, but unreliable
I bought Marvis many years ago and keep coming back to try it, because I love how you can customize everything, and there are so many useful filters, etc, which I'd love to use with Apple Music.
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!
Lets you organize/customize your music library into sections so you can quickly just play something. Sort it. Filter it. Search it. View it differently (better). Create tabs with whatever criteria you want. Want just Jazz from the 1950’s, no problem. Want all your Albums organized by year? All your wife’s favourite albums? A playlist that randomly choses 25 Rock songs every time you play it?……. It’s endless.
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
Interface: perfect. Customization options: terrific. This is the only music app I would ever need... but for one infuriating problem.
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
Marvis Pro is arguably one of the most powerful and visually stunning media overlays available, but its hyper-customized architecture is increasingly a double-edged sword. It is designed to solve the UI/UX shortcomings of the native Apple Music app, yet it frequently introduces highly frustrating interface bugs of its own.
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
The smart rules are all I ever wanted for apple music, makes shuffle useful by having newly added songs play more often and songs that already played wont play for a while when hitting shuffle (fully customizable)
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
Très sympa, cela permet de pouvoir écouter de la musique avec une interface de notre choix
Indispensable
Indispensable pour le scrobbling
Crashes constantly
This app used to be much better than the state it is in lately. Now it’s a toss up on if it crashes or not.
Amazing!
Best of the best music app!
LastFM Scrobbling is back
I’ve used Apple Music for years, but always missed being able to send my recent plays over to Last.fm to be recorded for posterity.
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.

Non functional
It doesn’t work at all. It can’t play music or sort through menus without crashing. It’s completely useless.
Superpoteri per Apple Music!!
Questa è l’app definitiva per aggiungere superpoteri ad Apple Music. Inizialmente acquistata per lo scrobbling su Last.fm, ha un sacco di funzioni da scoprire.
Stop feuding with the music app
Marvis Pro is twice as good as Apple Music should be. I only wish I could pay again for a version dedicated to listening to the music library I own via mp3.
Wow
Amazing well thought out app. Interacting with my Apple Music account is a joy now. Love customizing everything and I feel like I haven’t even scratched the surface yet.
The best app ever
Genuinely the best app ever if you’re serious about how your music is organised. You can customise every aspect of your music layout and make it look and act exactly as you like it. It also has the best scrobbler if you’re interested in music stats. Amazing work by the developer.
Super app !
Plus intuitive que l'app Musique native, avec beaucoup d'options de personnalisation pour adapter l'expérience à notre façon d'écouter. Merci aux développeurs !
Brilliant but needs iCloud sync
Brilliant app, literally changed the way I listen to music with all its options around smart playlists and rules. UI customization is endless. Desperately needs iCloud sync for settings / rules / etc. across devices though - right now it’s a manual process you have to remember to do (manual export/import).
