LivePod - Widget for Music

“When I leave the app, playback should continue smoothly in the background like a proper widget. Skipping songs or going to the next one is pretty buggy though—it often doesn’t update the ‘Up Next’ correctly. It keeps showing an old song from way back instead of the actual next one. It’d be great if it refreshed to show the real upcoming track once the current song changes. Needs a solid fix—thanks!”

I really like the idea for this app, but I do wish on dynamic island iPhones that there was an option to disable the dynamic island pop-up in favor of only using the lock screen pop-up. It’s not that I wouldn’t use it, but as of right now I prefer the Music app dynamic island pop-up; however, I really like the lock screen up-next pop-up. I will say that the dynamic island pop-up would be really useful if it always displayed the fast-forward prompt; it seems like it doesn’t always do it, like on the home screen. I want to recognize that there’s a great foundation here, this is a cool app, I just feel like these options could really make it more customizable.

I’m a huge fan of Marvis but sometimes I’m using the stock app so bought this because I’d love to see what’s next in case that happens. I get that this app is supposed to show live activities and what’s next, but it’s not working. Documentation is also non-existent. Bought premium to support the dev whose work I love, but not finding the value in this app. Giving 5 stars cause I don’t want to punish but it’s not a 5-star app (yet).
