User reviews

good app

My only complaint is that there’s no option for “live updating” if they add this feature i’ll update my rating

Not as good as it looks

There are a lot of filters but it’s very limited. Having only a single value per filter is bad design. I want to sort by date added and load within a date range but that’s not possible. Waste of money.

Response from developer

SmartPlaylist always/only works with date ranges. You can work with how many hours, days, weeks, months or years ago. You can use the operators < (less than), = (equal, within) or > (more than) x hours/days/weeks/months/years ago. Thus, you can for example say Added < 3 months ago (i.e. date range between now and 3 months ago, excluding all added 3 or more months ago). Added = 1,2,3 years ago (i.e. between 1 and 4 years ago). Added > 12 hours ago (excluding all added in the last 12 hours).

Powerful tool for weighted playlists

I've been using this powerful app for years to build weighted playlists of my music, where higher rated songs play more often than lower rated ones. (This cannot be done via iTunes on an iiPhone as Apple Music does not support live updating of any but the simplest smart playlists. Like any powerful tool, there's a learning curve but it's well worth the invested time. The developer is active and responsive. Great app. Highly recommended.

Bought it Twice

Returning to the Apple ecosystem and had to buy this app again because I couldn’t remember my old Apple ID. Well worth the money, this is a must have app for me, I love being able to create smart playlists on the go. The UI isn’t great but it works perfectly when you learn how to use it.
