### 4/5 — Good app but problem syncing

*2014-07-15*

This is a great app but the artist listing does not keep sync with the artists that are on your iPhone.  I tried deleting all music from my iphone and running the native music app (which from the developer site is sometimes needed to sync this app) but it still shows a full list of artists.  This is annoying as obviously if I select an artist that is not on my phone it will not play.  
I hope they can sort this out soon.  I have logged a support request.

### 4/5 — Great music driving app

*2013-02-08*

When on the road, this app has simple gestures and a couple of big buttons to play music in my playlists - unlike many of the other apps I've tried. 

Also, there's a host of theme personalisation you can do to make it feel like yours. Works in landscape too. 

The dev is responsive when I've had need to contact him (well done, Eric). 

So recommended.

### 4/5 — Great with its quirks

*2012-05-07*

Great with the ability to change songs, volume etc with gestures and a display that can be customized to you preferences.  A landscape orientation that acts just like the portrait orientation, "what a great idea".  Keeps my eyes on the road or trail if I am driving or running.  Just a couple of quirks.  I have to open the built in music app first to "update the library" or the songs you just added may not be there.  The use of a bluetooth headset/headphones that have the ability to change songs or volume will interfere with the gesture recongition.  The only way I have found around it is to remove and reinstall the app, then remember to reset the repeats and interfaces to my likings.

### 4/5 — Can actually see the track name

*2011-09-27*

I prefer this to standard iPod music player for two key reasons: 1)you can make track and artists name large so you can see them from distance which is great when it's docked on hifi or when in car (especially now the eyes are going lol) 2) gestures especially stop start and next track are very useful when gardening wearing gloves fir example. I was happy to pay for this.

### 4/5 — Perfect

*2011-03-17*

This app is exactly what I was looking for - you can customize every imaginable action. Definitely worth 3$ to keep my eyes on the road. The only thing on my wish list would be the ability to customize the size of the buttons although that's a little redundant since you can assign all their actions to gestures anyway but sometimes it's still nice to use buttons.

### 4/5 — Landscape mode

*2011-03-06*

Could you make the songs in landscape mode the right way please

### 3/5 — Customizable, but slow

*2010-11-14*

I loved this when it came out.  It was a bit clunky and slow.  But I could see what was playing at a glang in the car and navagate with a flick.  That put it in the bottom bar on my Touch. 

But speed or lack of it kills. I have Flick Tunes down there now.  Not very customizable but professional looking and lightning fast.  At a third the price I recommend it overTuTune me.

### 4/5 — Better than the standard player !!!

*2010-08-16*

I really like the way you can customise the whole package.  You can make the album art fill the fullscreen apart from the small control bars, and even then you can make the see thru !!!!!
Plays your full library and also allows you to twitter and go on facebook.  The gestures are clever as well although I don't drive so there's not much point in me using them.

Just one small thing, the support does not have an email address to bring problems to their attention. One thing I noticed is that at the end of a playlist or an album the app does not go back to a list of songs/albums/playlists to play.  It just goes back to the start of the album/playlist that was playing and a button comes up with a play arrow on it. If you had left the room etc and come back, you would think somebody may have paused it, press play and your playing the same album again :(  Hopefully they will rectify this to enable us to see that the album has finished and start another one playing without the need to press more buttons than we need to.
Overall though I'd recommend it !!!

### 4/5 — Overall fairly useful and easy app

*2010-03-02*

This app is a lot easier to use I'm the car than the iPod app. The entire screen becomes a button, with a few easy customisable gestures you can control your entire music library. All in all it has 4 stars because I would like to see fast forward and rewind by tapping and holding either right or left side of screen. Also I think it needs a better icon, then it can completely replace the ipod app!

### 4/5 — App is Good, Much better after latest update

*2010-02-11*

The latest update fixes all of the nagative kinks with this app. Most important is the sleep control. 

Good app for controlling your music while driving. Best interface of all the music control apps.

### 5/5 — Really good

*2010-02-09*

I replaced four other music apps with this,Gotta be a good thing.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2010-01-24*

This is exactly what I wanted for use in my car.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Very Good but Bit glitchy

*2019-02-27*

The volume seems to showing up for no reason. 

I need a refund on this one it’s full of bugs and even the gestures don’t work after you use the app, keeps scaling the album art instead of any control.

I really would like to have to fade in or fade out with a gesture as the cold stop is not useful in presentations

### 2/5 — Poor

*2018-03-18*

How do the swipe controls work? They are illogical to me. I want to just play my songs in order like I can with Apple Music how do I do that?
UI needs much improvement. Disappointed.

### 2/5 — Thema verfehlt

*2017-11-29*

Da ich mein iPhone ja mittlerweile auch als iPod verwende und dies hauptsächlich im Auto im Auto tue, habe ich eine App gesucht, die das Handling meiner iTunes-Mediathek erleichtert.
Dies wurde mir hier versprochen. Leider hat sich bei näherer Betrachtung herausgestellt, dass das Klassenziel mit dieser App nicht erreicht wurde. Das liegt an folgenden Punkten:

1. Es werden ALLE Interpreten angezeigt, d.h. auch die, die ich mühsam in Compilations zusammengefasst habe. Das erschwert den Suchvorgang deutlich.
2. Möchte ich über den Interpreten ein Album abspielen, geht das nur, indem ich, nachdem die App einen zufälligen Titel des Künstlers startet, auf das Symbol oben rechts klicke, unten dann „this artist“ klicke und dann eines der Alben wähle. Also umständlicher als unter nativen Apple Music App.
3. Viele Symbole sind sehr klein und beim Fahren schwer zu erreichen.

Ich habe kostenlose Apps gesehen, die das besser lösen. Schade um‘s Geld.

### 2/5 — Almost, but too inconsistent

*2010-08-04*

I like the customizable themes and the switching between day and night.  Also like the large type, which is great for the car.  Finally, however, it's a bit iffy as a music player.  When I play my entire library on shuffle, the tune changes but the screen doesn't.  It's also very easy to get bumped out of the playlist you're in and sent to another.  No support e-mail address to ask anyone about this.  A shame because it really has a lot of nice features, which will make me try it a bit longer before I abandon it completely.

### 2/5 — Lacks an easy way to Fast Forward/Backward

*2010-02-04*

I'm a listener to recorded books and I purchased this app to assist me while I drive. 
I found out that when listening to a recorded book, it's a lot worse than using the native GUI because it does not allow me to FF/FB and if I'm not careful, it flips me out of the book and into one of my songs.   It's also impossible to jump chapters in the book (what the native GUI lets you do when you press the FF/FB buttons momentarily).   I guess it's good for playing songs but for books it's terrible!

### 2/5 — Great app wow I use this more than

*2010-01-08, version 0*

The iPod app 

One REQUEST tho
Please speed up the start up it takes to long please after that you get a five star 
I already recomended this app 

Thanks

### 2/5 — Great but way too many bugs!!

*2010-01-01*

I love this app the design and UI are great but there are some huge flaws that have made it unusable for me.
1. It crashes too much
2. It consistently shows the wrong song for about 3 seconds and then changes to the right one.
3. It's slow startup time
4. 2 finger tap never works after I set it to show the time

If these things are fixed it's absolutley 5 stars but for now it's got too many bugs!

### 3/5 — 작동이 안됩니다.

*2026-05-03*

아이폰 6에서 작동이 안됍니다. 
ios 12.5.8버전입니다. 

안내에선 12버전이상 된다고 설명되어있습니다. 해결해주세요

### 3/5 — Nice idea, but... / Schöne Idee, aber...

*2011-02-03*

Well, this program actually is really great, there's only one problem: its reactions are very slow and sometimes the gesture recognition doesn't work. But still, in comparison to the native ipod-interface, a great step forward.
So please, dear programmers: Work on that, especially the slow reaction is REALLY a problem in every-day usage.

Eigentlich ist dieses Programm echt super, es gibt nur ein Problem: es reagiert sehr träge und von Zeit zu Zeit funktioniert die Gestenerkennung nicht. Nichts desto trotz ist es, wenn man das originäre Ipod-Interface hiermit vergleicht, ein echter Schritt nach vorn.
Also bitte, lieber Entwickler: Nehmt euch der Probleme an, denn vor allem die lahmen Reaktionen sind ein WIRKLICHES Pronlem im täglichen Gebrauch.

### 3/5 — Missing feature?

*2010-12-21*

There's nothing specifically wrong with this app, but for me it's missing Last.fm scrobbling, which means it's no good to me. It's such a common feature on music apps it seem a shame it's missing from this one.

### 5/5 — Music player with custom gestures

*2018-09-14*

I was looking for a music player I could easily advance/rewind in increments to be able to jump around in recordings. This app let me set up a horizontal two finger swipe to advance/rewind 10 seconds, and a vertical two finger swipe to advance/rewind 30 seconds.  I can now easily move around in my recordings.

### 5/5 — best car audio player, tried 50+, one minor fix needed

*2017-08-29*

Hi, iphone 7+, ios 10.3.3, TuTuneMe 2.0.0
Thi is by far the best car audio player, and i'm hapy to see the new version that supports 64bit.
so i can finally upgrade my ios, which i would not have done, if TuTuneMe would not have been working on iOs11.

but, there's a little thing:
Whenever i drag left/right for prev/next song, the ios volume display overlay
is shown for a few seconds. annoying.
TuTuneMe 1.5 did not have this behavior.
Is there something i can do against it?
or is a small app update necessary?
i have iphone 7+, with ios 10.3.3
regards
mani

**Developer response:** Thanks for your kind words.  We're not experiencing the volume display overlay you are referring to with the upcoming 2.1 version of TuTuneMe on iOS 11.

### 5/5 — Awewsome - Excelente

*2012-08-08*

You can customize to fit your car's painel's color. Easy and safe to use while driving. In the next version I'd like to custom the missing Album Art and more fonts (bank gothic should be awesome).

### 5/5 — Great app for in-car use!

*2011-05-22*

I use this app with the Oxygen O-Car radio and I must say, I absolutely love it! 

It's extremely responsive, very quick and easy to manage and is a lot easier to use while driving than iPod. Especially, if you're using it in landscape, Tutuneme is totally worth it's money as iPod always switches to cover flow. Furthermore, you can customize the player in any possible way so that it fits e.g. your car interior. 

If you need an alternative music player for in-car use, THIS is the app you need!

### 5/5 — A very good bit of software!

*2010-09-25*

This has made my life so much easier whilst driving. The simple yet fuctional guesture interface is fantastic. But whats better is the whole custom look to the player. My 3Gs is connected to my cars monitor and by using this software I now have a very cool and informative display as well.

### 5/5 — Best App you can get for playing music in Landscape mode

*2010-07-16*

I looked at tons of different apps trying to find one that looked good and allowed me to play my music in landscape mode. This app is simply the best at doing that. Opus worked fairly good but was extremely ugly and doesn't default in gesture mode. I love how it automatically doesn't lock when it's charging and how you can lock it in landscape mode. Searching for artist or albums works great in landscape mode but when you search by song it automatically goes to portrait mode. Not a big deal since I hardly ever search music that way. Also very customizable with lots of themes. Definately the best alternative I've found to the default music player.

### 5/5 — Finally a Usable Album-oriented App

*2010-06-20*

Okay, as of June 2010 this is the best I've found. Here's why:

1. It's pretty customizable. It's the only app I've been able to adapt to my specific needs.
2. I listen in the car. Although there are a number of car-oriented apps, they are generally playlist/artist oriented.
3. I don't use playlists; I think in terms of Albums and Artists. I want to be able to select an album (or an artist and then an album) safely and easily while driving. This app permits that.
4. I was able to assign an up-swipe to the album list. Perfect. I then pick an album, and the rest of the swipes operate against that album. Now we're cooking.
5. All other features are at least as good as those in other apps. Most are better. Being able to resize the album art, for example, is just good thinking. Lots more of that for your money.
6. Although I don't need the social media integration, some might find it useful. I don't know why I'd expect the world to care what song I'm listening to. But if that's your pleasure, it's in the app.
7. The multiple toolbars are an excellent idea, and can be customized/turned off as needed. This organized the interface nicely. Well-considered UI design is the make or break of an app; these guys are on-track.

So, overall, I believe this is the one I'll be using going forward. 10 bucks, 12 other apps and lots of research precede this decision. Hope the above will help you.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2010-03-22*

I love this app! The only thing I would like different is to not have what I'm listening to show up as my status on Facebook. Other than that very happy with purchase!

### 5/5 — 

*2010-03-12*

I  this App much better then the privious 2 apps I have payed for!! I like all the functionality of the App!

### 5/5 — Helpful in the car

*2010-02-09*

Makes driving and changing songs safer and easier. LOVE the new updates. Get them coming!
