Cs Music Pro

I really like this musicplayer - clean and nice design, easy to navigate and the coverart of the album is easily seen as you play your music. You can also customise how you want it to be. Top notch and five stars from me!

Så utrolig mye bedre enn standard-appen fra Apple.

I love this app. If you like full control of your music this is the app for you.

Simply the best way of listening to music on my iPhone. Smooth interface, lots of options, excellent grouping feature within playlists. The list goes on!

If you miss the pre-Apple Music player app, this is a fantastic replacement. Quick, logical and easy to use - I felt I was back in control of my music library. Audiobooks are here too (hooray!), and the ability to have night/day screen settings is welcome. I really don't miss anything about the stock app having started to use Cesium!

I started using cesium back when the native app became unintuitive. This app just works. The design makes sense. It does not appear to monetize your data. The organization and classification of my curated collection is preserved. No constant ads for streaming services. And the developer actually responds to requests. I never went back to the original app. Really appreciate the care the developer puts into it.

Update 12/17/24: Recent update freezes/crashes frequently. Update 12/15/18: My mistake—repeats in shuffling issue is Apple’s fault, not Cesium’s. I guess the “resume queue” feature was making up for Apple’s shortfalls before. In any event, without queue management both this app and the default music app are pretty worthless. Unfortunate because I love the interface here! Update 12/4/18: Disappointed with new version. I was prepared for queue management to go away (though I miss it dearly) but did not realize that I wouldn't even be able to see upcoming songs. So now I have to use this and the default Music app (which also saves your place in the queue). Hardly efficient. Also, it seems now that shuffling a playlist causes some songs to be duplicated in the list. I can't see this unless I look in the Music app, but I keep hearing songs I've heard earlier in the list, and viewing the Last Played info in this app confirms that. Update 9/24/18: While resume queue now seems to be resuming in the correct place, it now asks if I want to resume CONSTANTLY. As in, even while the queue is currently playing, or if I reopen the app 10 seconds after closing it. Freezing and unresponsive controls are still issues. Update 8/28/18: Unfortunately practically unusable now. Freezes constantly. If you can get it to start playing, going back to the queue later is a lesson in frustration. A cycle of freezing, crashing, and the play button not doing anything. Now I just kick off a playlist in this app and resume playing in Apple Music. Update 8/7/18: Issues below still occurring, but now the app frequently doesn’t bring up the now playing screen after resuming my queue. So the queue resumes in the wrong place (the song plays for a couple seconds then stops) and I can’t even see the song controls or queue to fix it. I have to go to Apple Music to resume my queue. 7/15/18: Have been using this app quite a while now and much preferred it over Apple’s, but the last few updates keep getting worse. Constantly freezes and crashes, sometimes the play button doesn’t work at all (changes to pause as if it’s starting to play, after 2-3 seconds of silence flips back to play), and the queue resuming to the correct spot is about a 50-50 shot. I’m holding out hope it returns to its former glory, because I still hate the Apple Music app.

I love Cesium/Cs and have been using it for many years. I was thrilled to finally see a new major update recently after years of apparent abandonment. However unfortunately the new version introduces a lot of new bugs, and the developer seems to have no way to contact them any more. The email on their website bounces, their twitter acount is deactivated, they apparently have no other web presence I can find. I am posting this review in hopes they will see it and fix this so I can send them bug reports and the app can get back to being a 5 star app.

I’ve been using this app for a long time and love it, but am stumped as to why the alphabet scroll bar was removed during the last update. As someone with 1000+ songs on my phone, to have to scroll for several minutes to find one specific song or artist is ridiculous. Please bring it back!

I love this app. Been using it for years now. Recently, you made a change to the scroll lists… specifically when you browse by artist or album. In the old version, there was a mini row of alphabetical letters in the right side, so you could quickly move to any given letter. Now, that’s gone and I have to scroll for a long time to get to later letters. Can you please add that letter column back in? Thank you for a terrific app!
