Vinyls - Record Player

This app used to be a really good one and one that I used often it had very fun and customizable options like crackle and pop and cobwebs on albums that you haven’t listened to in a while. Those would be really good features and they were… before they were all locked behind a paywall. The lowest option is only 3.99 but still! If you had the app before and changed the settings before the paywall hit all of those setting are permanent until you bypass the paywall. And I don’t just mean a one time payment. It’s a subscription. With the lifetime (only one time payment option) it’s 40 dollars. And this would probably be fine, if it wasn’t for the 4.99 I already payed for the app. So overall good app with terrible execution.

I want to say I absolutely loved this app. Getting the nostalgia of using records for your Apple Music library was so fun. Loved using this on my iPad to have connected to my stereo to give a vibe for hanging out at the house. Now, fast forward to today when I come to learn that the features I was using I have to now pay for? Either annually or a lifetime for $50? I get being a business and more money means more development of more apps. Just feels like a lot to access and play music I already pay a service for. It be better just to charge for the download of the app. I can see paying $5 to unlock “pro features” if you already had the app downloaded and wanted more. This app went from fully functional to asking for money for features that were already being used so it just felt off. I just personally see the benefit of the money options you’re currently offering. I wish you al the best in this. I’ll miss this app.

Love this app! One issue I am having is that when I open other apps and leave this one running and then return to this app, the track currently playing is restarted at the beginning. First suggestion- would like to sort the initial list by artist and then by album (by release date). Second suggestion- I kinda like being able to turn on the vinyl noise but it’s quite loud and would like to be able to set the volume level of that noise. THANKS!
