### 4/5 — Feine App

*2026-06-16*

Leider muss man sich die Anwendung selbst erschließen. Hat man das zeitaufwändig getan, ist die Anwendung ganz einfach - und übersichtlich. Wegen des Fehlens von Anleitung/Hilfe nur 4 Sterne.
Zur Kritik von Sam Tome:
Mit dem Tiny Loader for Mac geht die Übertragung vom Mac (Tahoe 26.5.1) ohne Aussetzer. Auch Ordner können problemlos übertragen werden.

### 5/5 — Nice Tiny Design...

*2026-02-12*

This is the media player I have been looking for to replace iMusic on my iPhone. I can not get it to work properly. When I upload my library it works fantastic, but when I close app and try to re-open it will not open. Still giving 5 stars because if it works for you it is deserved.

### 1/5 — Sometimes failed to start

*2025-11-26, version 2.1.1*

Leider startet die App von Zeit zu Zeit nicht mehr und muss mit allen Songs neu installiert werden.

### 5/5 — Nice Tidy (Tiny) Design...

*2025-10-29*

This is the media player I have been looking for to replace iMusic on my iPhone. I can not get it to work properly. When I upload my library it works fantastic, but when I close app and try to re-open it will not open. Was ready to buy developer a cup of joe. Still giving 5 stars because if it works for you it is deserved.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-09-28, version 2.1.1*

There are those times when you stumble on a hidden gem, an absolute amazing app. This is one of those times, its beautiful simple not over loaded with features, it does what i want, the folder functionale is splendid.

Well done creators, just well done.

### 2/5 — Noch stark verbesserungswürdig

*2025-07-02, version 2.1.1*

Umständliche und auch fehlerhafte Upload-Funktionalität.

Der Upload via Browser taugt nichts. Das ist nicht nur umständlich, sondern auch fehlerhaft. Öfter verschluckt sich der Upload mehrere Dateien und stoppt einfach mittendrin, scheinbar willkürlich. Dann muß man extrem umständlich suchen, welche Dateien noch fehlen, also welche nicht hochgeladen wurden und es dann erneut versuchen. Erschwert wird das Ganze noch dadurch, daß bei Dateien nicht der Interpret, sondern immer der Songtitel fett dargestellt wird. Diese Listenansicht ist sehr unübersichtlich und sollte verbessert werden. 

Ganze Ordner lassen sich per Browser schon gar nicht uploaden, nur einzelne Dateien. Das ginge nur mit dem „Tiny Loader“ für macOS. Dieser erfordert aber macOS 10.15 oder neuer. An meinem Macbook mit macOS 10.14 Mojave funktioniert dieser also leider nicht. 

Insgesamt finde ich die App enttäuschend und noch stark verbesserungswürdig.

### 5/5 — Great Player

*2025-06-08, version 2.1.1*

Simple and awesome player, it would be perfect if there would be a version for the Apple Watch.

### 5/5 — Gute App

*2025-03-30*

Die App läuft ohne Probleme.
Aber es währe noch praktisch wenn man Playlisten erstellen könnte und Lieder suchen könnte.
Sonnst ist die App aber super

### 5/5 — Top

*2025-03-29, version 2.1.1*

Super

### 2/5 — What’s up, ya

*2025-02-16*

tiny player!?! B) ;) :* 

When I was in second grade, we had a crawfish as a class pet.
When it was my turn to take it home, I killed it.

I killed my class pet. 

Anyways, none of that is relevant or really even that interesting, but I don’t care.

Come again soon, I’ll be here all week.
