Now Playing Plus

I have experienced zero issues with this app. But more than that, it is precisely what it claims to be, “Plus”—more than the standard Apple offering. I was more than disappointed with Audible for providing NO control for their app (unlike Spotify, for example, whose app is excellent). I found Apple’s generic media playing controls not great (sometimes not there, not able to be added as a complication). Enter the FREE (I would pay 10s of $ for this app, just from the release from frustration with Audible alone) Now Playing Plus. I now have a permanent pride of place complication and can always control all media. And the page that is presented for controlling the media is an excellent UX. I’m not paid or affiliated with Iconfactory. I just value good design and dislike bad design.

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.

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.

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.)

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

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.

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.

Messes with quick action. After this was installed the “double pinch” action was not working properly . After uninstall it started working again. After uninstalling , it is still not completely removed from your watch , as other reviews have mentioned. Do better

Found this while looking for a corner complication that showed what was playing. This certainly does, if you click it. But it isn’t live on the watch face, it just shows the app name. So does Spotify. Was hoping for a little more.

Thank you developers for reaching out to me about the workaround if I already downloaded the app to my watch! I'm so glad to have this awesome back in my complications list!
