Dear music lover, This update focuses on improving the experience of using folders: • Folder view gets a new header with better laid-out menu options • The freeze that occurred every time Folder view is opened is gone Loving Plum?

Potential!

I see the intent and I like it. Felt pretty buggy, and got a "No suitable active device found. Underlying error:
noSuitableActiveDevice" error twice when Spotify was open and connected. So not quite to the place for a purchase yet, but I'll check back again later. Nice work!

Elegant visual interface and constantly improving app. My favourite music app on iPad. Looking forward to the next versions. More sideloading options via iPadOS folders would be great.

Finally an album first app for Spotify

This has to be a hidden gem of the App Store. Most apps that focus on putting albums in your library at the forefront are aimed at Apple Music users. This app caters for them and Spotify users!!

Set up of the app was quick and simple, just select your music streaming service and it asks for authorisation and in a matter of moments it’s ready to go.

As someone who likes what I like and has no real interest in music discovery, this app has taken me back to a far simpler time when picking something to listen didn’t take ages.

Best tool for managing a big library

This is the best iphone app I have used for manually choosing what you want to listen to from a big library, especially if you are album-focused. The folders are so useful and easy to use, so it’s easy to look back through your collection and find what you want to listen to, whether you want to organize it by when you found it, genre, mood, or whatever. I got so frustrated with all the platforms pushing generated playlists and making it hard to see what you like. This app has helped me reappreciate so much old music I haven’t listened to in a while because it was down at the bottom of my library in streaming apps!
