The control buttons in the widget are too small. I noticed that this app has not been updated since 2014. ### 1/5 — Never updated anymore *2016-02-02, version 1.4* wasting money. lack of responsibility havent updated for a year ### 5/5 — Best of the music player widgets I've tried *2015-12-07, version 1.4* Low profile and easy to use. I've tried lots of them and this one is my fave by far. The rest seem to have lots of clutter. ### 4/5 — simple, useful *2015-07-14, version 1.4* ever wonder what song is playing but don’t want to switch apps? This puts it on the today screen. No frills. Just what it is. ### 5/5 — Simple widget interface, love it *2015-06-24, version 1.4* Been using it for a while. Works great. Highly recommend if you just want a simple widget to access your music without opening the Music app. ### 5/5 — Best widget on the App Store *2015-03-19, version 1.4* Easy to use and ITS FREE!!! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2015-01-24, version 1.4* I've tried a couple different apps that have music features in the today screen. They were big let downs. This one works perfectly and has a nice, simple appearance. ### 4/5 — Great, but not good looking at all *2014-12-29, version 1.4* Pretty nifty and handful, however, it's not beautiful to look at. The UI can be more organized with a slightly bigger widget. The colored buttons are something that don't look good, too. ### 5/5 — The best *2014-11-26, version 1.4* I love your widget I hope you make more cool widgets bro you the best also please add volume function👌👌 ## Frequently asked questions about Musica ### What devices does Musica support?
