    Is this app being supported?
    I love the parts of this app that work. Several key features do not work, and when I follow the path to get support it appears the app has been acquired by a larger company. Is this app being maintained and if so how do I receive support for it? Show more

    Still waiting...
    I used to love this app, but on iOS 12 it doesn’t work anymore. I’m still waiting for an update, but it’s almost a year since the last released version, so probably this is a dead project. Show more

    Great application!
    I love this application. I think it has great potential specially for people with big music collections who love to create playlists. I like the fact that you can explore your music through a different lens (mood) and find new surprising relations between song that you did not think about. It is a great tool to give you ideas when creating a playlist. One issue I see is that the app doesn’t analyze music in the background (you have to keep the phone opened)and that this app is not maintained often; the last update was about 10 months ago.

    Thought this app was gone. GREAT
    I thought this app died 3 years ago but I kept it on my phone anyway. Glad I did now that an update was made 7 months ago. Works fine on my Xs and now that mood agent is gone this is the only app of this type I can find. Works well to create nice playlists. Wish there was a way to globally remove comedy routines etc but I’ll live with it as it is. Really my go to music player again. ———————— Works fine on iPhone 5 but fails completely on iPhone 6 both running iOS 8.1. Works on iPad 3 with 8.1. Too bad was a favorite app. Developer says they are working on it but it seems to be taking quite a long time. ----- original review follows. I really did like it. After using this app a few days I'm upping to five stars. Much easier to use than Mood Agent and is got me listening to my music again. The playlists are spot on and it's queuing up tracks I've not listened to for years and they fit the mood playlist perfectly. I even created a new smart playlist to load my new iPhone 5 cycling available tracks based on rating, last skipped etc. Thanks to thus app I don't think I'll have to buy more music for years! Also, it's been very efficient in excluding audiobook and comedy tracks. Only a couple of musical comedy tracks have been included and those are probably by design. In short, worth every penny. I've deleted most of the other music player apps off my phones and iPads. This is clearly the goto app for casual listening. AirPlay works great with this and AppleTV. Lastly they must be using the Apple iPod core to play the tunes because the last played and skipped items are updated in the iTunes database making the Realtime playlist updating possible. Hope all this is useful. I don't do many reviews but I'm very enthusiastic with this simple but effective app. Show more

    Enjoyed
    I thought this was a great idea, and really enjoyed using the app. Wish it was still usable on new OS. Sorry you weren’t able to make a go of it and keep it updated. Very nice concept. Good layout. Show more

    Any status on when upgrade for iOS 11?
  • urprettyspecial, 06.10.2017
    Update for iOS 11
    I love this app. It worked great before iOS 11, but now it is no longer compatible. Can you please update it to work with iOS 11? Thank you so much. This is such an amazing app. Show more

    Love it - when is a desktop version coming??
    Love this app - no, it's not perfect, but it's great for mixing up your music... I just wish there was a desktop version...

    Such potential!
    It's the only app like it in the store. It has such potential and, honestly, if tweeked could be something Apple would buy. It has quite a few glitches and sometimes the music doesn't fit the mood. I hope the developer works on this app because I enjoy it. Show more

    Probably Best Mood Player out there
    Habu is exactly what im looking for, offline music library mood analyser and player and online music discovery according to mood you choose. Works fine, only a few unpopular songs were not mismatching the selected mood, which is so much better than dreadful shuffle. And the best part is, its totally free!!! ?? Update: on each launch it re-analyses last 200 songs so I cant choose shuffle option and have to wait for 15-20 mins every time. This is the only annoying bug and I hope they fix it soon! Show more
  • SectionThree, 24.06.2016
    Love it
    HABU works great at what it's for, organizing music according to mood. It would be an improvement if there were a search function so that I could quickly find out what category a specific song was placed in. Show more
  • Mrarroyo, 22.04.2016
    Not updated & could use Spotify integration
    I don't use my music library a lot so there's only a couple songs on there, but I have hundreds of songs on Spotify and would love this to evaluate my library there. Also, everything can be updated for new iOS / new iPhones l Show more

    Good but not great
    I've been looking for an app that will create playlists from my music for a while now. This one works pretty well although I wish there was more control over how you create the playlists. For example, I wish you could pick genres instead of just using moods. (I assume a mood is just based on the bpm). Perhaps if they connected with soundcloud they can get genre details. Or at least thats what my old favorite app Groove used to do. Show more

    Great idea works pretty well. Just a few things...
    I like this software I use it most days asa I go to and from work to match my mood. With 4500 songs on my phone its invaluable. There are only a few problems. It does not analyze songs in the background. You have to leave your phone open and the app up front to get the analysis done. Next song titles and lyrics are not part of the dark/positive analysis. So new are songs with dark lyrics and cruel titles end up in categories like soulful groove or romantic. The beat can be deceiving. I wish they would team up with a content analysis company and make the ratings better. Lastly and this is the most frustrating thing. there is no matching Mac Application that can help manage the playback of the 119+ GB of music on my mac. I would love to sit in my office and be able to pull the full range of music from my system based on my mood or the work I’m trying to accomplish. Imagine being able to designate a mood based playlist or two for transfer to the phone or iPad. (I run this on both.) Great Work. I would gladly ship you a few dollars for a mac version. Show more

    Meh.
    Used it once more or less successfully then it kept crashing trying to analyze music. If they can fix that bug this would be a fantastic app
  • Doug Morrison, 27.05.2015
    This app is almost dead.
    You can't export your playlist to iTunes or the music app. The 25 moods is too few for my taste but 100 masses the dots extremely hard to navigate on an iPhone 6 plus. The like songs feature only is there to sell music on iTunes. Why can't I chose related songs in my library? It's not a bad app, but never evolved. It has iTunes Match support which is fantastic. The moods are mostly accurate (is only referencing a database so there are a few, huh? Mood songs). This is probably the best app I've been able to find like this but far from perfect. Show more

    Great music app
    This app is better than Apple's genius and many of the other genre band auto playlist generators out there. Might take a long time to analyze large music libraries, but it's worth the wait. I started to use this app for workout music. Show more
  • inmate3241369753, 20.01.2015
    App is good but needs work
    I am deeply involved with music and having over 15,000 songs. This app helped me categorize all my songs with minimum effort. But now the app keeps force closing and it is time for an update. If the owners are uninterested in maintaining give the app to someone like me who sees the potential in this Show more

    Not perfect but really good
    I have a huge iTunes Match library and I use habu all the time, to hear songs I wouldn't necessarily think to listen to but suits my mood (& love how specific the moods get). Keep up the great work! Show more

    Great App
    Love how it doesn't have no annoying ads and I really love how the music fits the playlist
