App Profile: My Classic-Retro Console

The retro feel of a GameBoy or a classic iPod is exactly what you would expect on a slab of glass. Haptics are great to imagine what the feel of each device should be like. Music selection needs different options for what order things are played. Only real options for order are shuffle from main menu of entire library, top-down from selected albums, or A-Z in playlists. It's slightly frustrating that playlists created in Apple Music don't translate 1:1 into this app, because I have some playlists that work best from the specific order I arranged them in, and instead this app automatically arranges the playlists from A-Z. More options for how users would like their music to be played would be greatly appreciated to truly replicate the classic iPod feel, as well as keeping user-created playlists exactly as they were intended from the Apple Music app.

I love the retro feel. As much as I love my iPhone, I miss my old iPod. It even has the tactile feel of the click wheel. I will give them a full five stars if they fix the spelling errors. I’ll still happily use it, but the “Ramdom Play” takes me out of the experience. Also, a settings area would be nice, especially for languages. Maybe even the games, like solitaire, they had on some of the last iPods would be cool.

Love the Easter egg theme in this app and the fact that it’s a one time charge and no ads. Plus, no crazy app permissions. Thanks developer, you’re a gentleman and a scholar. I have recommended this app to everyone I know haha. Only thing I’d say is add click sounds. I have a recollection that the original retro device made sounds, but I could be wrong. Also, maybe add some overlays to give it a 3D effect. Anyhow, just a few recommendations, but certainly no need to implement them
