Orpheus is a native SoundCloud player built to feel at home on iPhone. Sign in with your SoundCloud account and your likes are right there, ready to play. Search the full catalog — official releases, DJ mixes, edits, and the unreleased tracks that only live on SoundCloud — and queue it up in a player that puts the music first. WHAT YOU GET • A full-screen player with large artwork, a proper scrubber, and system volume and AirPlay controls • A mini player that follows you between tabs • CarPlay, with your Likes, Search, and Now Playing on the dash • Lock screen and Control Center playback, with artwork and track info • Open any soundcloud.com track link straight into Orpheus • Preview-only and blocked tracks clearly marked, so you always know what will actually play BUILT FOR LISTENING No feed deciding what you hear next. No autoplay into things you didn't choose. Your likes, your searches, your queue. THE HONEST BITS Orpheus requires a SoundCloud account. Some tracks are available only as 30-second previews, and a few can't be streamed outside SoundCloud at all — Orpheus shows you which, rather than pretending otherwise. Playback depends on the SoundCloud API. Orpheus is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SoundCloud. Powered by SoundCloud.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Orpheus at none against Music Rhythm Trainer's 1. Orpheus also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Music Rhythm Trainer's advantage is ratings volume (5.1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
