Wakemusic：Offline Music Player

As soon as I opened the app, I had a three minute timer to get the full app for a one time purchase. I hate subscriptions so I bit the bullet, thinking it would at least work as advertised. My goal was to listen to my Navidrome instance on iOS. Offline functionality currently DOES NOT WORK if connecting to Navidrome. On top of that, the layout makes no sense. On the bottom, there’s a bar for offline listening, collections, which both display the exact same thing (with English typos), then there’s a massive plus button in the middle for what I assume is for connecting to “musics”, but then the next icon over is for the same thing. I got this app because the developer posted about it on r/Navidrome so I thought it would be legit. Now I’m trying to get refunded by the Apple store. This is the first time I’m leaving a review on the App Store by the way, if that means anything.

Researched quite a bit before I finally got this one. All the features I need is there. And the big plus comparing to some other similar apps is the auto lyrics and album cover finder. That makes it a lot easier to organize my songs. Also, the premium features payment option is one reasonable fee for lifetime, much better than other subscription based ones.

There is no way to locate the actual recordings used by Wake.. There is no "Search," "Get Info," or "Find." Tho' you can drag'n'drop mp3s from the desktop to a playlist, songs cannot be drag'n'dropped from a playlist to the desktop. For that reason, a duplicate library must be kept. The "Share" feature might be cool for mobile phones, but it is a relatively shallow feature for a desktop computer. An upgrade or update with some kind of batch processing feature would be welcome!
