SongOwl Music Player for Negative User Reviews

✓ A car wreck of an appSeduced by the developer's chirpy little e-mail, I paid my £1.99 and downloaded the app. So bad for so many reasons, at least on an iPad Pro, I wouldn't know where to begin. I have already deleted it. Should have stuck with the original app by this developer which works just fine..Sean Courtney 18Version: 1.0.1

✓ Pretty, but doesn’t playSurprised. Finally set this up and tapping on a song doesn’t play it. Maybe I’m missing something, but if I need to lookup an online instruction manual to figure out how to start a song in a music player, it’s already dead in the water. Also, I have a bunch of random garbage I purchased (mostly free from Starbucks) years ago and I don’t want to see anything but the songs I sync from computer. However, even after turning off the “cloud” toggle, these cloud purchases still show up..Dude0u812Version: 1.1.2

✓ Not as amazing as it was hyped up to be.As a long time CS music user, I was interested in Song Owl as the developed claimed it was, in a way, CS next gen. After a week of use, I couldn’t tell what the advantages of the app were. I listen to playlists, not albums and most of those are Smart to begin with, so sorting and browsing isn’t relevant to me, which is what this app seems to be designed for, sorting and browsing - actually listening being an afterthought. At least CS music allows you to change star ratings from the Now Playing view, a feature not present in Song Owl. FYI, if you use Miximum, by the same developer, you will lose the ability to specify CS as your default player after changing it to Song Owl, even if you delete Song Owl. Overall, I don’t know what Song Owl was / is supposed to do that his other apps weren’t doing. I’m disappointed that I paid money for it, as the developer’s other apps are functional and well written..Nathen1989Version: 1.0.2

✓ Doesn’t work with Smart PlaylistsI listen to my music almost exclusively through Smart Playlists, and unfortunately SongOwl is useless for them due to a bug: as soon as I enable any sorting (e.g. by album) in such a playlist, it shows almost the entire library instead of just what’s in the original playlist. Just by looking at the number of songs in the playlist, it somehow depends on how I sort. Miximum doesn’t have this issue. As an example, I have a playlist of the last 200 songs I’ve added to my library. When I group it by album, it suddenly contains 6304 songs. By artist, 6036. By album artist, 6021. By composer, 1817. By genre, 4236. Clearly, dark magic is at work..Blackmail1807Version: 1.1.2

✓ Great interface but no real Queue controlI’ve used CS music player for years and this is basically a polished bug-free version of the same thing. A lot of great features and it looks great - Personally I love having access to all the metadata and play count info for my music. Unfortunately there is still no way to see or manage your up next/now playing list. It seems to be a limitation of iOS, but it makes it a little bit incomplete nonetheless..AmightyVersion: 1.0.2

✓ It ok, but it’s not MarvisI liked CS (the old version).. I think I like SongOwl, but I don’t love it. 3 crucial things are missing: 1. I need to see last 3 months of things added (Albums and playlist). Apple do this well. 2. I need to see 3 months of what I’ve been listening to. Albums & songs played. MARVIS do this really well. You want to dive back in but can’t see your history.. 3. Manually create favourites for: bands, albums and playlists.. provide shortcut to this. No one does this (well CS let you favourite playlists) but no one gives you a proper shortcut on bottom toolbar to your favourite bands/playlists. These 3 things would make SongOwl perfect.. it’s a good start like it is, but not different enough vs. CS MUSIC. I am still using Apple standard app, CS and MARVIS so something isn’t right....RichKydVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Not worth the hypeThere is nothing different or amazing about this app. I am disappointed. This app should be free if anything..SkyCruz718Version: 1.0.1

✓ Powerful sorting toolsVery powerful sorting tools. Doesn’t support landscape which is what I was looking for when I bought it..SteaKnifeBigBroVersion: 1.0.7

✓ I didn’t find it as good as all the hypeIt does what it says- allows you to sort tracks in a lot of different ways, except it seems by album track order. And I can’t get lyrics to show when I press the lyrics button - I have to switch back to the Apple Music player to see them..KatsumibliskVersion: 1.0.1

✓ It won't play songsIt won't play.HyeiddjdVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Interesting, but not there yetStick with Cs Music, this app still needs work. The UI is clunky & the full screen mode is ugly..J NeinVersion: 1.0.2
