Picky Music Player

I’ve been downloading alternatives to the iPhone Music app for years, always to return to Apple’s mediocre default. This is the first time I’ve been happy with something else. - Snappy performance - Good design with easy navigation that isn’t constantly stranding you on the “recently added” page - The “picklist” feature is fantastic for building a queue quickly - Cute icon If I had to ask for something, I would love for the option for the currently playing panel to default to “open” when I launch the app. Edit: Still loving Picky! Makes my music listening so much easier.

This is a good music player cause it automatically imports your songs which is good the only thing I didn’t like was that there was an other in app purchase call picky deluxe which I went ahead and brought to show my support

Been getting really frustrated with Apple Music and bugs they are refusing to fix (think it’s a feature on some of them) but I digress… Instead of just complaining about it, I went searching for a third party app. I just need something for local music and cloud streaming from my iTunes Match subscription (been a subscriber for close to 10 years now). Picky seemed to be the best of the bunch. Available in my region and regularly updated by the developer and reasonably priced. I made the purchase and have been using it for the last hour and really impressed and happy. It’s like Music from a few years ago. So simplistic and basic. I don’t need any extra features, it all is here and it works! And it looks fantastic. Thank you for this awesome app and job well done. I’m happy and hoping to keep using this for many years to come. Still loving it many months later but wanted to provide an update: I canceled iTunes Match and found out that you can use Picky and “delete” the default app, but doing so will delete all downloaded music from your iPhone. But I deleted and then reuploaded directly from my Mac and didn’t have to redownload the default Music app. I am now using Picky all on its own and can sync from my Mac using the “Music” app with no issues. However, doesn’t seem like you can use Picky while using iTunes Match or Apple Music if you want to get new music onto your iPhone, unfortunately. But this saves me $25 every year now!

I’ve used this app for years and thoroughly enjoyed it! HOWEVER, in recent months it either fails to import newly downloaded music or worse, simiply deletes music! The developer doesn’t appear to have any type of support other than to give a poor rating. Buyer beware!!!

In case anyone was wondering… this is still the best music player around. I am so grateful that the developer has continued to support it for all these years. Nothing compares.

best music player app I've found for what I need. way better than default ios7 and more intuitive than pricier, flashier alternatives.

After all these years, still the best app for playing music in your library. Amazing how it can be so hard to create something so simple and straightforward, but this app has the right stuff.

This app is by far superior to the Apple Music app. From showing cd covers in artist view instead of an artist picture which is usually blank to allowing someone to see albums in the order downloaded to the iTunes collection from most recent to oldest in the entire history of the phone instead of only the last 20 or so like in the native player.this app does it right! It’s worth the purchase price and you will switch to it after about a week of adjusting. I’m a big fan of this app and highly recommend it for downloaded music for picky people!! Its primarily for people who prefer downloaded content to streaming, and for this purpose its perfect. I’m hoping he expands it to include separate categories for movies, music videos, tv shows or somehow is able to merge with vlc player to allow srt files with video and uploaded through the app via iTunes like vlc player…

Straightforward, intuitive, well laid out, clean and extremely legible UI. Very reliable, and has been getting regular updates for years and years. This is the app you’re looking for.
