Can’t be without it!
This is by far the most used complication on my watch face. Thank you for fixing what Apple have broken and allowing me to control the currently playing audio regardless of whether that’s playing from the watch or the phone.
Perfect
Just what I wanted for my Apple Watch Ultra 3 bottom middle complication. Works great for Overcast and Apple Music.
Great app
Just wish we could customise the complication colours. White and red stand out too much
Exactly what I wanted
All it takes is one tap from the complication and it opens the app and quickly automatically (about half a second) goes to the now playing view for what’s playing on my iPhone. Very useful and nice to have. Should be rated highly for the missing feature it adds.
Did know I needed it but cool
This nice quick way to replace the now playing app that has been soft nerfed on latest iPhone models watch faces.
Nearly perfect
I love apps which does one thing perfectly. I just miss a complication which is compatible with the Photos watchface.
Bravo
Congratulations on a great app, this is exactly what I’ve wanted to fill the empty complication spot on each of my watches, now I’ve upgraded to an ultra it works just as well as before, many thanks!
Wish it could be a middle complication
I wish this could be set as a middle complication as well so I could use it as a replacement for Apple’s new nonfunctional Now Playing in watchOS 11
App never showed up as a complication
I followed support directions about deleting the app from the watch, turning phone and watch off and restarting. Now the app doesn’t show up at all on the Watch and I can’t re-download it.
Response from developer
Try downloading the app from the App Store on your watch. Only the initial purchase/download works on the iPhone, re-downloads do not. We have filed a bug with Apple about this several years ago - you are not the first person to be confused by this.
For me, a must-have app
I have experienced zero issues with this app. But more than that, it is precisely what it claims to be, “Plus”—more than the standard Apple offering.
I was more than disappointed with Audible for providing NO control for their app (unlike Spotify, for example, whose app is excellent). I found Apple’s generic media playing controls not great (sometimes not there, not able to be added as a complication).
Enter the FREE (I would pay 10s of $ for this app, just from the release from frustration with Audible alone) Now Playing Plus.
I now have a permanent pride of place complication and can always control all media. And the page that is presented for controlling the media is an excellent UX.
I’m not paid or affiliated with Iconfactory. I just value good design and dislike bad design.

A godsend
With Watch OS 10 totally ruining the experience of controlling Tidal playing on my phone on my watch - this is a godsend. It’s pretty much fixed it.
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!
No frills
This app does just what I wanted with absolutely no hullabaloo so I can't complain. I'd love to see the option to see what's playing on the complication, or remove the text altogether and have only the icon. Better yet, custom icons would be killer. I'd happily pay a few dollars for those features.
Thank you
Now Playing is the complication I use the most. This app means my watch face options are not limited. Thank you!
Add to Apple Watch complications all mobile audio listeners
This is essential for people who enjoy audio applications and music when walking about . No need to fish for the iPhone to pause or rewind. I have added this app into my watch face complications. Why Apple did not do this , beats me! Well done tech designer of Play On Plus.
Missing AirPlay & Volume Control
This app would be better if it just launched the stock Now Playing app.
As it stands, it works okay but is missing functionality - namely AirPlay controls and adjusting volume. (The volume sorta works, but doesn’t use the crown’s haptics and doesn’t always adjust volume properly.)

Hacky but useful
The functionality is clearly limited in part by apple’s restrictions and fragmentation, but it’s still a useful add for three reasons:
1. It lets me jump to now playing for any app I listen from (I use a few) from any watch face
2. It “remembers” what I was playing far longer than the built in now playing feature. It’s crazy that if I pause audio for a few minutes my phone and watch make me go back into the audio app to restart, npp remembers.
3. Apple Watch apps for some audio players (overcast, castro) don’t work great, npp always works
My only request would be to add the track name of whatever’s playing to the complication

App is missing
I used this on my Apple Watch 6 for a year and loved it. But when I upgraded to an Apple Watch Ultra it disappeared! There is now way to find and add it to my new watch
Update: developer show me what I was doing wrong. Back to using and loving this app.

The app needs to be reinstalled using the App Store app on the watch itself - it won't work using the iOS app (as it did when you originally got it). This bug has been reported to Apple. Details here: https://support.iconfactory.com/kb/general/reinstall-watchos-app-when-purchased-is-greyed-out

Scam do not download
This app does not do anything and does not allow you to uninstall. App Store shows the app as purchased but this app does not show up on my Apple Watch, in my apps, or even in purchased from the App Store. This app does not do anything.
Great
Hey there great app but I’m missing some small details.
Could you improve the variety of complication spots?
Could you show the name of the track if text is part of the complication?
A last request would be if you could shrink the icon optionally.
Thank you ☺️
