## TapTunes Reviews in United States

### ***** "This is Still My Favorite Local Music App"
The grid album view lets me so many more of my albums than Apple Music, Spotify, or YouTube music ever do, and the blurred background color based on the detail of your album looks nice. Everything is quickly accessible, and simple double tap and swipe gestures make some actions faster that are more cumbersome in the other apps. I really like how minimal it feels w/o cutting out core functionality. This app actually *feels* clean, and I really appreciate that.

Will there be an update to optionally show more than 500 albums on the grid view? My library isn't there yet, but it's getting close.
-- SwimyGreen, 2024-11-04

### *---- "No More Gray Background?!"
This was my favorite music app because it had a dark gray background I could use at night to listen to music when going to bed and not expose myself to bright blue light computer screen which disrupts circadian rhythms and makes it harder to fall asleep. Now in the latest 2022 version the background is bright cream white and there does not appear to be a Setting to change it back to dark theme mode. If you want to provide bright background as the display default that's fine but at least give your existing users a preference option to change it back to original dark background. Yet another iOS app I relied on for years then a change was made that makes it unusable for my purposes, oh well, DELETE!
-- AEOC, 2022-03-16

### ***** "Offers Something New"
This adds functionality the default app would (in my ideal world) have built in. Being able to see an attractive spread of albums to pick from reduces the cold impersonality of digital libraries. Lots of customizability. Would love even more choices.

Update: Thank you for adding the widget with random albums! I love it and use it daily. Wonderful app.
-- Fitzbattleaxe, 2022-01-26

### *---- "App will not work without Apple Music installed"
The reason I pie did this useless app is to ditch the garbage player that Apple provided, and eliminate the auto play when connecting to BT in the car.

Yet the app does not play anything WITHOUT the Apple Music app installed.

You can delete the Apple Music app, then re-sync to get music on the device. Tap tunes sees the music, but will not play anything.

Why build an app that depends on the trash we are paying to replace!!??

Junk app.
-- drop table *, 2020-10-25

### *---- "Refund"
I need a refund please
-- chiencanard, 2020-01-29

### ****- "Please update the app for iOS 13"
TapTunes was my favorite music player app, but since iOS13 it freezes and cannot scroll the screen. Please update the app!!
-- masadub, 2019-10-17

### *---- "Disappointed"
It's attached to apple music library! With no other ways to import music from it
-- sadevening, 2019-09-22

### ****- "Great for rediscovering albums, but ..."
I love the random display of album art and customizations for rediscovering albums I haven’t played in so long! But, when I tap on the cover of a song that has lyrics attached, how do I get back to the cover? I can’t dismiss the lyrics. No combination of taps or swipes gets me back to the album view. Is it a bug?
-- MLRA73, 2019-08-09

### **--- "Boy all that it seems"
I may have misunderstood the TapTunes functionality but I am greatly disappointed. 

The app does not manage your music, it attaches to Apple Music to access your music. Every time you open the app it starts as it was never opened, instead of opening where you last closed it...I would prefer it would open at the song I am playing so I don’t have to search for it once again.

The app accesses your Apple playlists, listing the songs but there is no way to play the list one song at a time, the very definition of a “playlist”.

This app is NOT for me....waste of energy attempting to learn it.
-- Ray12003, 2019-06-23

### *---- "Unusable lag"
I really wanted to like this app, as it appeared to be the best alternative to the default. The concept of the different views are brilliant, if only the app's core functionality worked well. Upon selecting or switching to any song, the entire app freezes, sometimes for up to 5 seconds at a time. Don't like the next song you skipped to? Well you better be ready to tolerate the intro while the GUI is frozen. Even when a song is playing, many of the animations at the heart of user interaction are evidently choppy, like the volume control on the playing screen. This is all on a brand new iPhone 8 and persistent across reboots and reinstalls. Platform limitations like the control center shortcut are tolerable, but charging people for a non-responsive app is not.
