Your wedding music needs to be perfect, and Wedding Player makes sure it is. Build your wedding playlist for every moment, then play it exactly on cue: offline once downloaded, with smooth fades, and a locked playlist so the wrong song cannot play. Built by a dad for his daughter's wedding, and now available for yours. Wedding Player is purpose-built for the ceremony and the whole day: your own running order, your own tracks, perfectly timed. ▸ READY BEFORE THE DAY Wedding Readiness Reminders tell you before the day if something needs attention. Every couple gets a free wedding countdown. Full Access adds reminders if a track isn't ready to play offline, a moment has no music, or Wedding Player loses access to Apple Music, plus a day-before summary. Pros get one summary of every client wedding that needs attention, up to 24 months ahead. ▸ APPLE MUSIC, YOUR OWN FILES, OR OUR FREE LIBRARY Combine tracks from your Apple Music library with custom-edited local files (MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF) in a single ceremony playlist. Most apps make you pick one. Wedding Player lets you mix both. Or start from Wedding Player Originals, a free built-in library of over 70 ceremony tracks you can download inside the app. New Originals appear as soon as they're added. ▸ MORE THAN A PLAYLIST: A CEREMONY TIMELINE Create named moments (Walking Down The Aisle, Signing The Register, Leaving), each with its own playlist, fade settings, and transition controls. Advance between moments with a single tap and a smooth fade-out countdown. ▸ NEW: WEDDING BACKUPS, PLUS iCloud SYNC Wedding Player now backs up every wedding on this device once a day, after you make changes, and before you delete a moment or a wedding. Restore any backup as a copy from Settings > Backups, or save one to Files. Included for everyone. With Full Access, your wedding also stays in sync across your iPhone and iPad through iCloud. ▸ GO LIVE: BIG CONTROLS, LOCKED RUNNING ORDER Switch to Live Mode and hand the device to whoever's pressing play. Extra-large controls. The playlist is locked, so no wrong songs and no wrong versions, and there is no skip control to hit by accident. Switching moment, restarting or leaving Live Mode all ask you to confirm first. Fade Out is one tap by default, or turn on Ask before fading so a stray tap asks first. Set it up once. Press play with confidence. ▸ PLAYS OFFLINE ONCE DOWNLOADED Wedding Player plays offline once your tracks are downloaded, even in airplane mode. No venue WiFi, no streaming, no ads, no surprises. Your own files play directly from your device, and the Offline Readiness check shows which Apple Music tracks still need downloading. ▸ PROFESSIONAL AUDIO • Crossfade between tracks (1 to 10 seconds) • Gapless transitions for Apple Music tracks (native MusicKit) • Volume normalisation across all tracks (-3 dBFS target) • Per-track trim points with fade-in option • Configurable fade-out (2 to 15 seconds) with live countdown ▸ BUILT FOR THE DAY • Per-track or per-moment looping (repeat until you're ready to advance) • Tracks flow on automatically inside a moment; the next moment is cued and waiting for your tap • Screen stays awake during playback • Works on iPhone and iPad ▸ TRY BEFORE YOU BUY The free demo includes 5 sample tracks and a guided walkthrough, and short video tutorials in Settings cover most of the main features. When you're ready, exit the demo and start building your own ceremony, then upgrade to Full Access for £12.99. One payment, forever. No subscription. No account required. ▸ FOR WEDDING PROFESSIONALS Running multiple weddings for a living? The Professional Licence (£5.99/month or £49.99/year, with a free month to start) lets every wedding keep its own moments, music and timings, so you can switch between them in a tap. Built for venues, celebrants and planners. Details at weddingplayer.app/professionals. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

gentA: Arts Manager gentA is a professional platform for the opera and classical music industry. It brings together tools for singers, agents and promoters to manage profiles, availability, auditions, communication and contracts. For Singers Build your professional profile, upload recordings and showcase your experience to agents and promoters. Manage professional opportunities and keep your career information in one place. For users aged 18 or over, the Voice Analyzer provides informational feedback on singing and helps track vocal development over time. Studio is its recording interface. Analyzer access is subject to eligibility requirements, explained within the app. For Agents Manage your roster from a single dashboard. Track availability, coordinate opportunities, handle contract negotiations and communicate with promoters through a structured professional workflow. For Promoters Discover singers through blind auditions, request self-tapes, review candidates and manage the process from initial interest to contract negotiation and signature. AI-Assisted Casting gentA’s SmartCast tools help identify potential matches using voice-profile information and casting criteria. Suggestions support professional judgement; they do not guarantee suitability, selection or engagement. Professional Contracts Upload contract templates, negotiate terms and request electronic signatures within the platform. gentA supports the workflow but does not provide legal advice or guarantee the enforceability or performance of an agreement. Profile Privacy and Vocal Data Choose whether your professional profile is public or private. Publishing a professional profile does not publish your private vocal recordings, Analyzer results, Trends or Vocal Health Diary entries. Separate sharing controls apply. Non-paying adult Singers generally need a complete public professional profile to begin new Analyzer sessions, subject to the stated exemptions and private-profile allowances. The app explains the applicable requirements and available next steps. Age Requirements Professional accounts are available from age 16. The Voice Analyzer, Studio recording, Trends, Vocal Health Diary, health-data sharing and Robert are available only to users aged 18 or over with a valid account date of birth. Profile visibility and subscription status do not override this restriction. The Voice Analyzer provides informational feedback, not medical diagnosis or clinical advice. Built for the Industry gentA supports the working practices of opera and classical music—from maintaining a professional profile and coordinating availability to auditions, negotiations and contracts. gentA remains free during development. Version 1.2 does not introduce subscription charges.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: gentA at none against Wedding Player's 3. Wedding Player's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
