### 4/5 — It does the most important thing ...

*2018-01-06*

In Apple's continual efforts to ruin the music experience by eliminating visible art ... there stands only one defense.  This app displays full screen album art.  You know, the way the music app used to do.

The app itself seems to break down on large music libraries but I realize not everyone has 30,000 tracks.  So I just use the native music app to queue music, and then switch to this one to see album art.  It would probably work much better for people with small music libraries.

**Developer response:** Please try the latest update, it has a lot of improvements, including an on-demand loading of album art that may help with large collections in general. I'd be really curious to know if it can handle the large library now. If not, please send email from within the app with more details about the collection, device, iOS version, etc.

### 4/5 — Two suggestions

*2016-03-01*

Great app but please let the whole screen feature the album artwork. Second suggestion remove the information bubble from above the artwork. It looks awful! Not a bad app for $2.00 just some tweaks and these two additions would make this my default player!

**Developer response:** Please try the latest update, it has a lot of improvements, including more full screen album art modes. And since the previous update the info button now hides when you hide the controls. I hope you continue enjoying the app.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2015-12-27*

Just wish I could change the background other then that its great.

### 4/5 — Great app, but...

*2014-11-22*

Excellent app to view by album cover (something sadly changed with Apple's Music app!). Only problem I have with iOS 8 is that it crashes when you search?

### 4/5 — Replacement for music player

*2014-10-03*

Gives you more options to play your music collection than the Apple app, but does not shuffle full albums.

**Developer response:** Please try the latest update, it has a lot of improvements, including an All Songs playlist. Since the previous update you can now Shuffle Albums from any playlist or from the search results (albums by artist). I hope you continue enjoying the app.

### 5/5 — Gorgeous way to view your records

*2014-09-15*

This app is a very pleasing way to view all your records by scrolling through all the record covers. So much more pleasing than looking through a long list of typed names. Good job!

### 5/5 — Album central

*2013-09-08, version 1.2.1*

All my albums up front like that

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2013-08-17*

This is a really slick application that fill in all the cracks in the built in iPhone music player.

### 5/5 — Even better

*2013-08-10*

The lack of filtering out videos was the only problem I had with the last version and with the update it is fixed.  This app does exactly what I wanted!

### 5/5 — Platinum

*2013-08-03*

Great app !!! Makes my music library seem so much easier to navigate and looks a hundred times better !! Thank you for this app ! Platinum rocks !!!

### 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)

### 1/5 — Crashes on iPhone X

*2017-12-20*

Gorgeous app, but crashes after a minute or two of loading my large library. Email support non-responsive.

**Developer response:** Please try the latest update, it has a lot of improvements, including an on-demand loading of album art that may help with large collections in general. I'd be really curious to know if it can handle the large library now.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-02-24*

Only plays song for a few seconds then just stops. Also crashes as soon as you search.
Getting refund

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2014-02-28*

Constant multiple crashes.  Not once did I get past the first 100 albums, even after 20 attempts.
Have to post a "star" which is the brown star.

### 3/5 — Love the visuals but need to keep reloading art

*2019-02-21*

I like how this app lays out the album's but everytime I open it - it reloads all album art. Really want to see an update that addresses this.

**Developer response:** Please try the latest update, it has a lot of improvements, including an on-demand loading of album art that should help.

### 3/5 — No queuing

*2013-08-01*

I was hoping that this app would be able to queue multiple albums at once, so I could listen to, say, all the albums from a given artist. It can't. It's pretty, but doesn't do what I wanted.

**Developer response:** Please try the latest update, it has a lot of improvements. Since a few updates ago you can also play or shuffle all albums by an artist from the search results. Simply search by the artist name, locate it in the Artist section, long-press the artist and select Play, Shuffle or Shuffle Albums.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2020-03-25*

Would be even better with an equalizer.

### 4/5 — Soweit gut

*2018-07-07*

Schön wäre noch eine Möglichkeit per Drag and Drop eine temporäre Playlist zu erstellen.

Sehr gut: Hier wird man nicht, so wie bei Wall of Music, dazu genötigt sich mit Deezer, Sponty oder Apple Music zu verbinden!

### 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!!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2019-04-06*

Thank you sooooo much for keeping the album art full screen Apple needs to do wYyyyyy better

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words. Please try the latest update, it has a lot of improvements, including additional full screen album art modes.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2016-12-11*

This app displays your album art beautifully, even better than iTunes the way it opens up. It took me a moment to find the controls they are located on a slide out menu on either side of the screen. There are more features to choose from on this program. The program will only accommodate what you have created in iTunes already however. You can also change the album art to larger incremental sizes!  Even better than the initial display is the presentation of the album art while you are playing your music. You can open it up full size while you are playing music. This looks absolutely awesome on my 12" iPad Pro! Once I downloaded the app and gave it permission to access my my music it immediately grabbed it and opened right up...Fantastic app...I love it!!! Kudos to the developer!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! 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 — Great App

*2014-11-28*

Great App. Covers could be a little Bit bigger.
