I made an audio player app for iOS which plays the locally synced library.

The main motivation for this was the fact that in the default app, three of the four tabs are useless unless you use cloud music, which makes the (previously “preferred”) local library feel like a dropped potato.

Features

Please note that I glance over the main feature which is playing music.

No Ads or Tracking

All with all of my apps, there are no ads and it doesn’t contain any tracking functionality. The only thing collected are the crash logs and installation count that apple automatically collects (there is no way to turn that off as far as I know; If there is a way, as always, let me know please). No screen space is wasted on annoying things and the app does not care whether you’re connected to the internet.

Customizability

You can choose a theme color in the app settings, so the app appears how you like it.

Views like the artists, album, and song lists are searchable.

Library

The “Library” tab currently shows the following:

  • The top ten most listened to songs
    • The underlying queue is your Top 100, so if you play the top most played song, you will have 100 of your top songs in your queue.
  • Three random songs you’ve never listened to (if songs like that exist) (added in v1.1.0)
    • Same as with the Top 100 you will have up to 100 songs in the queue, but they are randomized each time the library refreshes.
  • The ten most recently added albums

(Added in v1.1.0) Queue Management

You can modify the queue and manage what is played later on.

The app is completely free to use, and can be downloaded on the AppStore. I hope this app is useful, if not don’t hesitate to tell me the ways I can improve it.
