Hey there great app but I’m missing some small details.
Could you improve the variety of complication spots?
Could you show the name of the track if text is part of the complication?
A last request would be if you could shrink the icon optionally.
Thank you ☺️
Brilliant
This should be a stock feature. But since it’s not , this app makes the watch experience much better. This app, other than the built-in playing now does not always default to the phone. Also, having a button on the watch face is great.
Thanks so much for this app, and for making it free!
I don‘t See this App on my Watch
I purchased this app Dome time ago, but now the (purchase) button is grayed out. I can't see the app on the AppleWatch Ultra.
Missing standard feature
Thanks a lot for adding this missing standard feature! Little FR from my side: could you add Sonos support, maybe together with the colleagues of Lyd.
App never showed up as a complication
I followed support directions about deleting the app from the watch, turning phone and watch off and restarting. Now the app doesn’t show up at all on the Watch and I can’t re-download it.
No frills
This app does just what I wanted with absolutely no hullabaloo so I can't complain. I'd love to see the option to see what's playing on the complication, or remove the text altogether and have only the icon. Better yet, custom icons would be killer. I'd happily pay a few dollars for those features.
Missing AirPlay & Volume Control
This app would be better if it just launched the stock Now Playing app.
As it stands, it works okay but is missing functionality - namely AirPlay controls and adjusting volume. (The volume sorta works, but doesn’t use the crown’s haptics and doesn’t always adjust volume properly.)
Hacky but useful
The functionality is clearly limited in part by apple’s restrictions and fragmentation, but it’s still a useful add for three reasons:
1. It lets me jump to now playing for any app I listen from (I use a few) from any watch face
2. It “remembers” what I was playing far longer than the built in now playing feature. It’s crazy that if I pause audio for a few minutes my phone and watch make me go back into the audio app to restart, npp remembers.
3. Apple Watch apps for some audio players (overcast, castro) don’t work great, npp always works
My only request would be to add the track name of whatever’s playing to the complication
App is missing
I used this on my Apple Watch 6 for a year and loved it. But when I upgraded to an Apple Watch Ultra it disappeared! There is now way to find and add it to my new watch
Update: developer show me what I was doing wrong. Back to using and loving this app.
Scam do not download
This app does not do anything and does not allow you to uninstall. App Store shows the app as purchased but this app does not show up on my Apple Watch, in my apps, or even in purchased from the App Store. This app does not do anything.
