Vinyls Reviews

by Fjõlnir

The description should probably note that Vinyls only plays from Apple Music (and maybe your iTunes library). You can't open audio files with it.

App doesn’t work very well. The turntable graphic somehow doesn’t look as good as in the demo pics on Vinyls store page. Way inferior to the native iOS music app. Not to mention the plural of “vinyl” is vinyl not “this app.”

Can’t believe I paid $5 for this. Hopefully you won’t make the same mistake.

This is an awful app and way, way overpriced. I bought it on 9to5mac's recommendation. On the iPad it just plain doesn't work. Freezes, crashes, doesn't work. Save your money. Wish I could get a refund.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately after the update it's even worse. When i open Vinyls on my iPhone it's just a black screen. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it's completely broken.

Also tried it after the 9-5 article. Also found it buggy and lacking features that even basic vinyl apps had on the original IPad. Tried it to give it another chance today after I saw it was updated and it opened it up on my 11i inch iPad Pro and just a black screen that crashes. This is just an app that’s not ready for prime time and was rushed.

I originally purchased Vinyls on Apple TV thinking it was going to work but even when paired with iOS device it does not work. Anytime I long-press the play button or disk to “send to TV” it doesn’t work. Even after pressing send to TV.

It’s a pretty app and I like the concept but for the price isn’t worth it in the slightest. Doesn’t support continuous play, doesn’t have lyrics in Vinyls , and it always play from my songs and not what I have downloaded. Vinyls could be so much more. I hope it gets better.

Plays well on iPhone but crashes on iPad air4

Vinyls doesn’t support lyrics or continuous play. Also, the music app seems to be the one playing music and this is just a really expensive visualization. Wish I could ask for a refund but I also hope it improves dramatically.

Vinyls is amazing. Super super cool. The only problem I have is that it doesn’t play the music through Vinyls . Like the soor app. It plays the music through Apple Music still. I hope this can be added soon.

Crashes on shuffle. Graphics could be better.

Love Vinyls! One issue I am having is that when I open other apps and leave this one running and then return to Vinyls, 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!

Pretty great app, sleek design, simple use, the only thing I would like to see is the ability to add a song to up next.

Does Vinyls support library search? If so, I can’t seem to find it.

Love the animations and everything about Vinyls !!!!

by JustinMabee

This might be one of the most beautiful UIs I’ve ever seen. The fluid motion is fantastic, the nostalgia of the vinyl record is great and Vinyls is just killer. Ignore the negative reviews because people can’t read and don’t understand how things work.

Like Vinyls . This has too many fun and interesting features to talk about here, but overall this is an impressive take on the congested space of music playing apps.

Just wanted to suggest a few updates. I noticed a bug where Vinyls crashes when I view an artist with music not categorized into album(s). I have several such in my library and Vinyls has consistently crashed when I show such an artist.

Also, I cannot play the library of music associated with one artist unless it is collected into an album, or I play it one song at a time. This appears to be a deficiency of Vinyls . That artist’s page just shows ‘nothing to see here’. This should be a feature included soon.

Thanks!

Great app from a developer who cares. Vinyls just keeps getting better and better.

by Bondsteel

Clearly a work of passion, this app is just stunning. I find the spinning vinyl animation oddly soothing, and all the animations and careful details are delightful. The developer is responsive and diligent with updates. Recommended.

by IM0tep

Vinyls does exactly what is advertised in the description. I’ve been following this dev for a while and he is constantly pushing out updates. He wants to get it right for the user. It’s no wonder Vinyls was recognized by Apple. Def recommending it.

by ThisIsDill

I love Vinyls! It’s a clean and near perfect replacement for the music app. Is there a way to search the Apple Music Database? Cause that would seal the deal for me!
