Music Rover is a music player that makes it easy to find your favorite songs among the many songs in Apple Music. * To access all features of this app, an Apple Music subscription is required. If you are not subscribed, Apple Music songs will play as 30-second preview versions. --- [ AI Assistant suggests tracks ] The assistant with AI will select tracks based on your requests and create a track list. Like your personal music curator, the assistant will help you discover music. --- [ Start station immediately ] Station is an Apple Music feature that automatically plays recommended songs based on song or artist. As soon as you drag your favorite song to the Station icon in the lower right corner, the station will start and automatically play songs related to that song. --- [ Three playback queues ] Even if a song is popular or recommended, you will not know if you like it until you actually listen to it. In order to listen to a variety of songs, the application has the following three types of playback queues. A queue is a list of songs to be played. - Listen Now Queue This is a basic queue that is automatically added when you play Apple Music content. - Listen Later Queue (Save temporarily) This queue is for temporarily saving a song in case you want to listen to it but are interested in another song at the moment. The song will remain even after you exit the application, so we recommend using it if you are not sure if you want to add the song to your playlist. - Playlist (Save the song) This queue provides immediate access to one of the playlists in the music library. You can also long press a song or album and drag it to the playlist icon to immediately add it to the currently selected playlist. Use this function if you want to save a song you like. --- [ Drag and drop ] Albums, playlists, and songs can be added to each queue or stations can be started by drag and drop. --- [ Quickly display albums and artists ] From each song, you can view the album and artist page for that song. --- [ Charts and radios in various countries ] Charts and radios are not limited to your own country. You can display content from all over the world. * Songs not published in your area may not be displayed or played. --- Recommended usage 1. Check the home screen regularly for recommendations Music Rover's home screen will show you recommended albums and playlists based on the songs you have played so far (* for Apple Music subscribers). The recommendations change based on what you have listened to recently and are updated frequently, so the more you listen, the more likely you are to find new music. 2. Automatic playback of songs based on your favorite songs When you start a station from a song of your choice, a song based on that song will automatically be selected and played. You can start a station as soon as you press and hold a song or album and drag it to the station icon in the lower right corner. You can also start a station from the currently playing song. 3. Listen to related albums and artists Make sure to listen to the albums and artists of your favorite songs, and the songs of artists related to that artist. You can move from the related artist on the artist page to other artist pages one after another. If you have a lot of songs on your mind, we recommend adding songs to the "Listen Later" queue and listening to them later. --- Subscription Please refer to the following terms and conditions when using subscriptions. 1.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ThinMP at none against Music Rover's 4. ThinMP also leads on ads (none vs shown). Music Rover's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
