Music Plan helps you to create music playing plans with highly customized options using songs from your Apple Music. Beyond repeat and shuffle mode, you can add additional rules like: - Priority: prioritize playing specific songs before playing the full list. - Multi-times: play specified songs for multiple times, with configurable frequency. - Skip: skip songs you don't like while keeping your playlist whole. You can choose from 3 color themes (Music Red, Plain, System), which are fully support Light Mode and Dark Mode. You can create up to 3 plans for free. And after purchasing the "iCloud Sync", you can also sync your plans across multiple Apple devices (login with same Apple ID).
