All of this is available for free! Upgrade to the Pro Version (with an in-app purchase) to enable 3 or more rows of launchers and add music controls in the widget. Please support further development on the app by buying the Pro Version today.

### 5/5 — Works great, use it all the time.

*2022-07-21, version 1.7.5*

I have had this app for a long time. It is now July 2022 and the last update was about 3 years ago and it still works. I hope that it keeps working and would appreciate updates to ensure it does. Also I have it on my iPhone and iPad and would be nice if I could sync the lists between the 2 devices. If one device was missing a song download then an idea would be that it is still listed but grayed out.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-01-06, version 1.7.5*

Downloadable in Cambrian zoom playlist and you. Are you application

### 5/5 — Best!

*2020-10-06, version 1.7.5*

Needs homescreen widget.

### 5/5 — Best $2 I’ve ever spent!

*2020-09-16, version 1.7.5*

I have hundreds of playlists, and this app  has changed it all for me in accessing my favorite ones!

### 5/5 — Absolutely Brilliant!

*2018-03-08, version 1.7.4*

There are great ideas and then there are where-have-you-been-all-my-life ideas. Music Launcher is the latter. I'm already using their app launcher. I thought I'd try the music one. Instantly one of the most valuable apps on my phone now. I can find my favorite albums and playlists immediately. 3D Touch makes it even faster. All this app needs now is an Apple Watch app.

### 5/5 — Super Awesome!

*2017-03-11, version 1.7.2*

Start playing a collection of pre-designated music with one tap from LS -- what's not to appreciate about that!?

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2017-02-21, version 1.7.1*

App stopped doing what it's supposed to do. It used to play specific playlists set in the app. Now when you set a playlist it plays your whole music collection instead of the specific playlist

### 3/5 — Good for music, worthless for audiobooks

*2016-10-27, version 1.7.1*

Works well to quickly launch playlists but if you set up a Launcher for an audiobook, which is an option, the audiobooks always start at the beginning and do not remember the playback position even though the Remember Playback Position option is set in iTunes.

### 5/5 — Love, love, love!

*2016-05-22, version 1.6*

I cannot do without this app now. I'm so spoiled to being able to turn on the music I want from the notification center without having to actually open the music app that I can't go back now. 

I also really like that it lets you use your own custom icons, and especially that it takes PNG files, so you can use an image that's partly transparent, and it will be transparent on the widget too. 

I definitely think upgrading to the Pro version is worth the $1.99, mainly because you can control the repeat and shuffle from the widget and don't have to open the music app, plus being able to have more than 8 and change the size of the icons.

### 1/5 — Deceptive pro purchase option

*2016-05-21, version 1.6*

Deceptive pro purchase option, you will pay and then be asked for more$$
