Great app. But I hope that iPod nano 7 support is added

This is an amazing app, and It has a lot of potential. I would like it if we got support for the iPod nano 7. If you’d like I could test it for you if you at least add the option, thanks for making this

Big

Simple and easy app, won’t let me access my own local folder with mp3 to connect to my device. Need more support for older model iPods like mini

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll look into the local folder access issue and continue improving support for older iPod models.
