## What is Play?

Play-ya List is a smart playlist app for you to discover your music by setting your own rules. Yep, that’s right. You. Set. Rules.

What some examples? Here you go:
• songs longer then 30 minutes
• what I haven’t listened for last 3 months
• my all-time top 20 (5, 100, whatever number you want!) hits
• songs I skipped last year

You may want to start with the Play-ya lists we’ve put together for you to get the feeling of how the app works. After that, there’s really no limits for you to set up the rules and create your unique playlists. 

Our machine learning algorithm analyses your music habits and helps you discover the music your way. Play-ya is all about your individuality, your uniqueness. 

Play-ya Lists are being updated on the go when you listen to the music. They are really live.

Enjoy!

### 4/5 — Killer

*2024-10-11*

Cool

### 1/5 — What happened to skipplayer?

*2020-02-25*

When I updated my skipplayer app, this horrible app showed up in its place. Every feature I got it for in the first place is gone. Now it doesn’t discern between songs that I’ve downloaded or not. The easy interface is gone that was great for using in the car. I might as well just use iTunes.

*2019-11-29*

There are many music players so sometimes it might be a hard task to pick the app that worth to replace default one. I like this app a lot for its simplicity and at the same time exact functionality I need. Nice design, browsing, and my favorite one is play-ya lists! Cool!

### 5/5 — Lists and colors

*2019-11-26*

Lists are so cool way to check on my music. I’ve found 34 songs that somehow I haven’t listened in the last 5 years. Some of them brought so many great memories! Wow, super cool, bro!
