I have a really large library that I typically listen to on playlist shuffle. Next helps me rediscover "lost" tracks and deep dive on favorites from time to time. Really smart how they implemented it so the playlist plays in Apple Music, making this song-rating, Carplay-using listener very happy. Bonus points is they are super-responsive. I sent feedback on Twitter and they responded / fixed really quickly. Show more

Any app that is sideways on an iPad with the folio keyboard attached is hugely annoying. This will limit my use of this app generally, can’t recommend for now.

I like what it does but most of my listening is in the car. I would rate this 5 stars if it interfaced with CarPlay.

I just purchased the app. The concept is great. The execution is poor. It has to be tapped repeatedly to load. Once a song is selected it is difficult to clear. It stays on my iPhone 11 ProMax with 512gb and nearly 17,000 songs. It needs some simple user actions to “clear” selections. FURTHER UPDATE! Still having problems with this app. Almost every specialized playlist has duplicate songs in it. There should be no exact duplicates. Also, there should be an option to have a 50 song playlist. I think the option to delete a song from a playlist should be available. It would also be great if you could save a playlist and rename it. Show more

Have enjoyed the playlists, and rediscovering some songs. The algorithm seems to love one or two bands a bit much though, and every third to fifth song is from one of those. Cool but also would prefer more variety. Show more

Brings me back to my library after focusing mostly on Recently Added in the Music app! Hope they add new types of playlists and suggesting ones over time - for example “25 Most Played” is not a playlist I’ll listen to that much, but if new ones get surfaced I’ll keep coming back. Show more

I read a review on an Apple news site and followed it to the app, figuring this would be a cool addition for my library of over 50k songs and over a decade of iTunes history. If I wanted to hear the same three or four albums over and over again, I could have just made a playlist of them and shuffled it. I’m quite honestly shocked and disappointed. It tossed in a few playlists of most played songs from random artists that I somewhat enjoy - again, I could have just easily made these playlists myself faster than I could find them in the app. Furthermore, when I tried to open the app again later in the day, it was blank with just icons at bottom, and now won’t work at all. Instant regret purchase that I keep regretting enough to leave a review and share. What could make this app worth the cost? First, could you ensure it doesn’t crash and become unusable after the first use? Second, I would enjoy some unique and insightful playlists (as I expected) that don’t consist almost entirely of two or three artists that I used to listen to heavily ten years ago. Finally, perhaps something different then a handful of playlists that are simply most played songs by random artists, because that’s all I got for the $5. I’m sincerely hoping this gets better. Edit: I wish I could just have this refunded. This may be my first instant regret purchase on the App Store. Every time I leave the app for more than a few minutes, I go back to it and it’s unusable. It has to be deleted and reinstalled. It then proceeds to feed me the exact same thing: the exact same one or two artists with a sprinkling of other random songs. There’s no way this is the intended experience in a diverse library of almost 50,000 songs and 10+ years of iTunes playing history. Show more

I was really hoping for something that would truly mix up my music, when purchasing im thinking “apple music shuffle on steroids”. NOT! This app was almost a complete ditto of my music library. I have ovr 10k songs and it managed to play the same song at least 3 times within a 30 min period. It did nothing special.. maybe an update will give the WOW effect that was raved about. Save yourself the 5 bucks! Show more

Overall, good idea. What works well: it has surfaced songs I haven’t thought about in a while which I have missed. It’s also surfaced songs I have been glad to remove. What could be improved: The UI needs some work (needing time switch tabs to see what’s playing feels unnecessary). The question: this has opened up what look like holes in my historical Music data. Songs which have been labeled “never played” have indeed been played - albeit not in over a year. But I suspect that could be an Apple issue and not an app issue. Show more

Worthless on my device. I’d pass on this and buy a latte instead. You’ll enjoy it more.

This is really cool! I really like that when it creates a “playlist” it is really just queues up a bunch of songs (which is awesome) INSIDE THE MUSIC APP. Amazing ? I would love to see more playlists added, maybe ones where it can sprinkle in related songs (but then I guess information would have to leave the device ?). Also after reading the privacy notice, this app was a must buy — all on device and no tracking. Thank you for making this awesome app! Show more
