## What is Setto Swipes?

Pick artists. Start swiping. Discover music.  
Setto Previews is free for everyone. The full Setto experience requires an Apple Music subscription.

Setto Previews 
Fast, fun and powered by a new algorithm. 
A short form discovery mode powered by 30 second previews. 

DJ SETS
Five independent sets, each with its own taste. 
One for focus. One for the gym. One for adventures.
Switch moods without resetting the DJ.
Each set learns on its own.

AUTO SETS  
Setto reads your Apple Music library and builds sets you didn't know you needed. 
Crossover. Right Now. Back To. Lately.
Patterns you missed. 
Artists you forgot. 
Genres you haven't tried yet.

RECEIPTS
Every week, your listening becomes a receipt. 
A weekly report of your top artists, genres, and the music that anchored the week. 
Six styles.
Share them or keep them.

THE VIBE MAP
Setto notices when you listen, not just what.
Your 6am music isn't your 11pm music.
Friday night jazz. 
Sunday morning rock.
Your DJ names the patterns.

WIDGETS
Your last set.
Your vibe map.
Your weekly receipt.
Your home screen. 

YOUR MUSIC. YOUR DEVICE.
All learning happens on your iPhone. 
Nothing leaves your device. 
No accounts. No tracking. No ads.

BUILT BY A DJ
Setto is made by one person who actually DJs. 
Not a team. Not a startup. 
Just someone who wanted a better way to find music.

Powered by Apple Music.

### 5/5 — MY FAVORRRRITEEE!!!

*2026-07-18*

I wish I could make a love robot out of this!

### 5/5 — Remember iTunes Genius?

*2026-07-18*

This is everything I had hoped iTunes Genius would be. (If you’re too young to remember Genius, think Pandora meets your precisely purchased music library.)

### 5/5 — FAVORITE MUSIC APP!!!

*2026-07-08*

I am shocked this app delivers as intrinsically as it does, the closest thing to perfection the internet has provided since zoombombing!

### 5/5 — Setto

*2026-06-13*

Hands down this is the best free music app around!!!!   No ad’s and zero B.S 
               ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 3/5 — Setto is great

*2026-05-25*

Setto is awesome

### 5/5 — First no bs music app

*2026-05-08*

As a music lover this app is perfect. Simple to use, expands my music taste the way I want it. 10/10 shoutout to the creator

### 3/5 — Cool concept

*2026-05-05*

A neat app but it keeps recommending the same songs and bands over and over even when I say I dislike them. Kinda defeats the purpose of the app.

**Developer response:** Appreciate the review! Try switching the DJ to "Surprise Me" mode in settings and increasing the recent song cooldown to 3 days. That'll push it to explore more and repeat songs less. And if you change or add a few more starting artists to your set, it gives the DJ more directions to pull from.

### 4/5 — New option would be great

*2026-04-22*

The app in itself is really great, I like the concept. 
However, I have a suggestion that could make the app better: instead of having to listen to the whole song, and choose if you like it, you could choose between having to listen to the whole song or to listen to the best part/highlights of the song, and then choosing if you like it with the swipe.

**Developer response:** Just shipped with version 1.4! With the new Previews mode you can listen to 30 second highlights from songs and if you have Apple Music, you can add them to a dedicated "Setto Previews" playlist or any other playlist in your library directly from the app. Thanks for the idea!

### 1/5 — Apple Music only

*2026-04-22*

Of course it’s only for Apple Music. Not the most clear until you download it. Or read everything about the app in the App Store.

**Developer response:** You're going to love this! We just shipped Setto Previews in version 1.4, which lets you use the app without an Apple Music subscription. You'll hear 30 second highlights from songs and can still swipe, discover, and build your own listening receipt. Give it another try!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-04-22*

Love the look and interface, so far it’s easy to use and the suggestions are good that it has given me.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind review!
