User reviews

Does it all!

I highly recommend this app to anybody who wants a well designed app to listen to their own local music files offline. The touch of nostalgia is also a huge benefit to anybody that doesn’t like the modern design of music players. The developer is very responsive as well, I had an issue yesterday and he has already fixed it. Give it a try, you’ll probably love it.
