### 5/5 — I wish every app was like this!

*2025-04-13*

This is truly amazing! I really hope that these iOS 6 apps continue to increase in some way or another, flat design is becoming too depressing, and ads/social features/bloat are in practically every app now. Make iPhone fun again!

### 4/5 — me

### 5/5 — I love this. Just wish it had one thing.

*2024-08-10*

This app is so awesome. I downloaded it to my iPod touch and it makes me remember when iTunes was king. But I would love to see some modern features added in the older iOS style.  Specifically an add to queue button. Yeah that’s about it. A queue would be the best.

### 5/5 — Yes

*2024-08-06*

This brings me right back. Listening to music on my phone is fun again!

### 5/5 — Best

*2024-07-26*

Classic look

### 5/5 — Nostalgia at its finest

*2024-07-22*

Just throws you back to the good old simple days

### 5/5 — A nostalgic throwback to when graphics were glossy and pleasing!

*2024-07-14*

I love this app! It's functional, is 99% accurate to iOS 5, and has no ads. I especially like the scrollable album wall. 

Long live Skeuomorphism!

### 5/5 — The App Store At Its Finest

*2024-06-06*

When it comes to the App Store, there are a lot of apps with creepy data trackers, ads, micro transactions along with many stuff that makes a lot of modern app (for me at least) unlikeable.

So when it comes to developers like the one behind this app, it feels like the golden age of the App Store all over again, nothing gross,creepy about it. It’s cheap and well worth the money if you ask me.

Medley Music Player is the best 3rd party music app on the Apple App Store if you ask me, taking from the old Apple Music layout of the iOS 5 era, Medley is must have app for any Apple Music user if you ask me. 

I would personally love to see a version made for iPadOS and other operating systems but it seems like that may not happen at the moment. Regardless every penny of the price is well spent, I’d buy it again. 

Pleas support creators like this in high quality apps that are actually useful and improve our casual life’s. It’s developers like Dino here that the App Store was truly made for. 

TLDR: 
First app I ever spent money on, don’t regret, highly recommend! :)

### 4/5 — Nice app but album split bug persist here too

*2024-04-13*

Request :

1.  Also is it possible give capability to add music loaded from remote storage to have extra library somewhere.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-01-21*

A breath of fresh air in app form. 😍 great if you don’t use Apple Music (as in the streaming subscription) and are sick of the constant adverts in the official music app.

### 1/5 — App fecha sozinho

*2025-12-13*

App não suporta as quantidade de musicas no dispositivo, trava e fecha

### 1/5 — Let us use MP3

*2025-10-04*

Not good at all, accidentally purchased and would’ve kept if it supported MP3s.

### 1/5 — Cannot add music from files

*2025-05-15*

Only works with Apple Music..

### 2/5 — Sadly glitchy

*2024-09-29*

Happy to see old iOS iPod app but this one is glitched on iPhone 16 pro ios18… 
Not square cover are glitched, all lists have weird little rectangles in middle,  Cover Flow not working. 
I don’t know if you can make a retro widget and maybe a ios6 version but please fix your nostalgia app

### 3/5 — It needs playlist folders

*2025-08-30*

Let me start by saying this: I love this app. I love how authentic it feels and works. The developer did a great job with that. 

The only issue I have with it, and the only reason I’m not giving a 5-star review yet, is that it doesn’t currently support playlist folders. My music library is heavily reliant on folders for organization. Whats currently happening is all the playlists are just there in alphabetical order. I’m not a developer and I don’t know how hard it would be to implement this, if it’s even possible. But if this gets added, this app would be flawless and probably become my default music app. I strongly hope you add this, developer! Thank you!

### 3/5 — doesn’t play some of my music?

*2024-04-12*

it works and looks great but it refuses to play some a specific album idk why. i think it’s because most of the tracks are a different format than the first one?? or something??? they play fine on any other music player i’ve used. it plays the first track and then quickly skips through all the rest ☹️

### 3/5 — Decent but lacks local file support

*2024-03-27*

Please add support for non apple music files! The app is fantastic but that would add a lot of functionality for people that have non itunes music libraries

### 4/5 — add Local File Support Pls

*2026-04-05*

addd Local File Support

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2026-03-08*

My main issues are that you can’t give songs start ratings, (it’s a great way to sort your library) and I wish you could customize the tabs at the bottom. Other than that it’s a very clean and simple music player for a fine price.

### 4/5 — Issues with backing out of main menu

*2025-09-13*

First and foremost, I think that this app is awesome and really is fun to use, but there is an issue that I’ve had ever since I downloaded it and it has to do with the main menu. When I back out of a submenu, like from an album to the main menu, there is an about a second window where I can’t scroll and move anything and the album I backed out of stays highlighted. But other than that this app is great and enjoyable to use!

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-08-03*

I mean skeuomorphism and music are like my 2 favorite things, so yay!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-06-16*

Love this app though I hate that it’s not supported with spotify and only apple music, developer if ur reading this pls support it with spotify and also to make the cover flow like the original, there’s multiples albums showing on the screen it has to be one by one but other than that it’s a really good app

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-05-03*

I feel like an iPad version would be nice :)

### 5/5 — Best skeuo music player ive used

*2026-04-07*

This is so skeuo, I use it for my ios 6 theme and its EPIC, if you want an ad-free skeuomorphic music player, this is the app for you

### 5/5 — Skeuomorphism and the illusion of progress

*2025-12-24*

I initially purchased Medley due to my interest in the Skeuomorphism design community and an urge for nostalgia of the “good old days” with digital interfaces. I can remember, vividly, this style of music player from my youth.

The design is perfect, almost an exact copy of the former design before flat boxes became the staple of tech design. It’s simple and easy to use, intuitive too. However, it has some shortcomings as a result of technological advancements, namely the album art which doesn’t quite reach the top and bottom of the screen, courtesy of the altered screen shape of modern devices. It’s a minor issue, and the app works greatly regardless, but an annoyance nonetheless.

Landscape mode is also a highlight of this app and something in which I love to use. If you’re attempting to detox yourself from algorithms and modern flat design then Medley is perfect!

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2025-11-12*

Exactly what I was looking for. If only you could release sister apps for the calendar, time, notes, and voice memo apps!

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-11-01*

I had an older iOS 5 iPod touch 4 but I got an iPod touch 7 for more games and more storage and I hated the Apple Music from iOS 15 and then I found this app and I love it and makes it feel more like an iPod touch

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-08-26*

My only gripe is the rounded grey squares that are hovering over everything when button shapes is turned on in accessibility, hope the developer fixes this. App is very usable though

### 5/5 — Exactly what it says on the tin!

*2025-07-18*

This is a fantastic app. Nostalgic but extremely functional; it provides a fantastic, fuss-free way to access your Apple Music library. 

My only critique is that on larger screen devices like my iPhone 14 Pro Max, the album artwork is framed above and below by grey space. Would look more authentic if the top and bottom bars scaled to fill the space instead. 

That aside, 5/5. Worth the low asking price.

### 5/5 — Can you add Spotify support

*2025-05-14*

Just asking
