Interact with your albums in ways you haven't been able to before and gain a whole new appreciation for your music collection. 

Platinum will show and play any songs/albums that are in your Music Library, either stored locally on your device or on iCloud. It does not require the Apple Music subscription itself.

All information about your songs, albums, artists, playlists is read from your Music Library. Any changes you make to your music library will be reflected in the Platinum app. Some changes are reflected automatically, such as playlist changes. For other changes, such as adding/removing songs, you can perform a Reload from within the Platinum app.

Please keep in mind that because Platinum uses the Music Library and its playlists and because certain music library actions are not available to 3rd party apps, you will not be able to perform some actions from within the Platinum app (but you can perform them from within the Music app itself if you need to). These include:
• Adding/removing songs to the library
• Adding/removing/editing/renaming playlists
• Updating album art

Please leave your feedback from within the app or via a review and let us know how you like the app and what else you'd like to see added.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-05-10, version 4.0*

Does not say you need Apple Music to use music in the app for £2.99, how do ya get a refund

### 1/5 — Platinum

*2024-08-25*

This app does not perform as advertised. It does play all tracks on an album then shuffle to another album. It will play a single track then shuffle to another album. It will play a complete album but does not shuffle to another album, it just stops.

**Developer response:** From what you describe, it sounds like you ARE able to play all the tracks on an album before shuffling to another album. That is what Shuffle Albums does.

If you play a track from an album, or Play or Shuffle from an album, it will continue with the rest of the tracks on the album, and it will stop when the album is complete, that's the intent. 

If you want to play beyond one album, you can play/shuffle/shuffleAlbums from a playlist (that will play all albums in the playlist) or play/shuffle/shuffleAlbums from an artist from the search results (that will play all albums from that artist)

### 5/5 — Best App for Displaying Album Art

*2023-11-21*

This is a wonderful app for playing music where displaying the album art is a priority. Most music apps, including Apple’s, diminish the album art and clutter up the screen with a host of other non-essentials. The Platinum Album Music Player does a terrific job of putting the album art out front, where it belongs – utilizing the full screen while playing. Would that Apple’s native Music application, or iTunes, or any other player on the market offered this at least as an option! Since they don’t, get this one – it’s made for the task.

### 5/5 — Definitely worth the money

*2023-08-31*

This is a great cd player with no bass booster system and equalizer

### 5/5 — Perfect Music App.

*2023-03-08, version 3.8*

This app is so good. It looks amazing and is very easy to use. Even after all these years it is still my favourite music app for listening to my albums. I emailed the developer with a problem and they fixed the app overnight. Brilliant. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Cover art is the focus here

*2020-12-17*

The full screen cover art is really nice and I like how I can swipe to the next song.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-12-08*

I love this album-first approach

**Developer response:** Albums first always:) Please try the latest update, it has a lot of improvements, including more full screen album art modes. I hope you continue enjoying the app.

### 5/5 — Always been my favorite Album player

*2020-10-15*

Glad this one is still around and renewed to the current system changes, with additional functionality. 
Great addition to the enjoyment of your personal album library and friendly Tec support:)

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2020-10-13*

SO glad I found this app. It’s not only well-engineered, but thoughtfully designed as well. 5-stars!!

### 4/5 — Very worthy alternative to Music app

*2020-05-11*

Album art...I canNOT see it on Apple’s free app!  
Crazy to squint at a tiny album image where a tap should zoom it. But the total lack of album art support by Apple can at least be overcome in part by Platinum’s full screen front cover view.  
It just makes sense, right. 
Other features of this app are fun too, but its search function would be better if it grouped my selected results for viewing of albums as well as it organizes them in a text list.  
Still, it’s a good app, playing me some A Grande now. Talent.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words and for the suggestion. Please try the latest update, it has a lot of other improvements.
