User reviews

Love it!

This App is so awesome! The haptics of the click wheel are out of this world and the experience is almost like 20 years ago with the original iPod. Everything works so smooth and the integration with Apple Music is flawless. Old meets new!

Just like Ipod

I really like the interface of the application. I saw it in on reddit and bought it outright. It really syncs with my music library.

Awesome

Genius idea for an app. Love the integrations. Only feedback I can provide is that it should have the album art present on the now playing screen to fully emulate the iPod classic view. Worth the money though.

Excellent

Best £4 I’ve spent on App Store, player is excellent. Top work 5⭐️
Making the play screen album art a bit bigger would be a great addition

Lock artwork when in iPod view

Super cool app to listen to both my offline music and Apple Music together. Would be rad if there was a view on iPod mod that made the artwork bigger or the center instead of all the grey.
