TapTunes

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!

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.

It looks and feels great and the grid view of all your albums is great. Some people may not like it, but I love that the album order is randomized so it shows me something different when I don't know what to listen to. When I do however, the search function and recently played albums are immediately accessible. The app is generally fast and it's animations are smooth and tactile. There aren't any make or break bugs for me, but occasionally I have to force quit to get it to work and for whatever reason the game changes your loop playback setting to what it feels like sometimes. Honestly my main issue is that I feel like I have to live with any bugs the app has forever, because I'm not sure if we're going to get another update. Please David, come back to this app, it's fantastic! I would gladly pay a small yearly subscription for it.

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.

I need a refund please

TapTunes was my favorite music player app, but since iOS13 it freezes and cannot scroll the screen. Please update the app!!

It's attached to apple music library! With no other ways to import music from it

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?

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.

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.
