User reviews

Not quite there

The app works well until it doesn’t and is a bit incoherent. It perpetually says transferring even for tracks transferred. Some tracks just won’t transfer for no given reason or error. Please make a watch version that doesn’t require iPhone and can reliably transfer from a local network drive that requires authentication. The phone app is the problem and Apple doesn’t allow installation of the Player app by family members to the watch directly.

Parfait

Rien à redire, ça fonctionne bien.

Very good app

This fills an infuriatingly bad workflow by Apple for simply listening to content offline on the Apple Watch. Works well for me, transfer isn’t super fast but playback is including over AirPods.

Awesome. It’s VLC for Apple Watch! Buy it! Buy now!

It’s basically VLC for Apple Watch it is absolutely incredible.

Sorting for Artists, Album, playlist and everything!

This app is one of the only apps for watch that has local music and video support better then Apple Music and TV and album sorting and sequential listing based on “file name” rather than just. “Track title”.

It even syncs with Apple Music or not it’s your choice !

This developer also listens to user feedback.

Also this developer makes a great epic epub app for watch too!

I would use this instead apples default junk due to the VLC nature of the app.

Get this app it’s the best music video player on watchOS.

Response from developer

Thanks for the great review — glad you’re enjoying the app! 🙌 Just a heads-up: sorting by filename is already supported. You can enable it by going to Settings → Sort by → scroll to the bottom and select “Filename.” Also, really appreciate the shoutout for our EPUB app on Apple Watch — happy to hear you’re enjoying both!
