### 4/5 — Sortierung

*2026-08-03*

Bin mit der App sehr zufrieden, allerdings noch nicht top zufrieden. Die Sortierung nach z.B Künstlern sollte dauerhaft einstellbar sein. Das bei jedem Start zu wiederholen nervt wirklich. Das dürfte auch keine große Sache sein. Also liebes Programmierer Team. AUF GEHT‘S !!! Achja, iCloud Funktion hätte auch etwas ;-) Dann wäre die App die beste im shop !!!
