What's Playing vs One Big Player

What's Playing? is a simplified playback overlay for the Music App - if you just want to know what you're listening to at a glance, What's Playing? will tell you. Let's say you're listening to a random playlist in Music - in the car, for example - and hear something you've not heard recently. You want to find out who is singing... What's Playing? shows you that info in real time, and in big enough text to read at a glance, meaning you don't get distracted, or crash the car! Want to skip to the next track? Just Swipe Right. How about just tapping the screen to pause or play the song? Using two fingers to scan through the song on fast-forward/rewind? Or, if enabled, using 3D Touch to see what album the song is on? Choose from different color schemes, including night-time driving. What's Playing? - for when you just want to know who's playing what - quickly, easily, and WITHOUT CRASHING THE CAR! NOTE: What's Playing? only works with the Music App and will not work for non-Music sources such as Spotify, Bandcamp, Tidal, etc.

Control your music while driving or biking without your readers. Easily select Artists, Albums, and Playlists. You can figure out how to use it by playing with it for a minute or two. While not a CarPlay app, One Big Player is a good companion to CarPlay, keeping the tracks visible on your phone while the car's display shows a single song's details. A great feature is Resume. When you re-open the app it picks up where you left off when you press Resume. If you had pressed the Shuffle before you closed the app, when you press Resume it will present the Album or Playlist tracks, perform a shuffle, and start playing. One Big Player will only play offline (non-cloud based) music so be sure to download the songs you want and get them physically on your iPhone or iPad.
