One Request

I had previously written a glowing review for this app and I standby it. This does exactly what I want, is brilliantly simple, and has re-connected me with my own music library.

The ONE THING I’d love to see is a secondary option to accompany the “Play in Music” option. A secondary button that just does a “show album” and DOESN'T interrupt your queue would be great. That way, you can continue listening, keep spinning for albums, and add them to the queue without immediately playing.

Still a fantastic app and lovely tool. Thank you.

Hi George, your kind review is deeply appreciated; it is what keeps indie developers going. And thanks for your feedback, too! We continue to improve this app; stay tuned.

Does what it says on the tin

A little slow and has zero options. I would suggest a way to favorite albums and shuffle just those and filter out albums with fewer than X song to limit incomplete albums.

Hi McClain, thank you for your suggestions. We will take them into consideration!

Good idea, not quite there yet

I would really like to have an app that does exactly this. And I'd be happy to have paid for it. This app offers an extremely simple proposition: click one button, it will show you a random album. If you like it, click a second button to play; if not, click again.

So, what's the problem? When I click the randomize button, it takes *15-20 seconds* to bring up the album! This makes it pretty useless for quickly skipping through albums to find what I want. Obviously, I rarely want the first random album... Admittedly, I have a very large music connection + iCloud Music, but still, this is crazy. Particularly the fact that it doesn't get faster on the second button press: surely it could generate the random ordering on albums once (ideally when the app is opened) and cache the titles and pictures for the next 10-20 albums.

One last feature I'd like: the ability to filter by genre. Even when I want to randomize, I often know if I want classical, jazz, or rock...
