Univershuffle Reviews

The filters list in settings isn’t complete and doesn’t work or populate until you first listen to a song. However, filtering does seem to work when applied from the Now Playing menu.

When I whipped through several songs to continue to filter countries and genres I noticed A LOT of repeats.

Lastly, after I was mostly done filtering, I started receiving a “Failed to Find Songs” error.

Univershuffle has potential. But it needs more work to get there.

Without Univershuffle, I never would have heard “How Do You Feel” by Sarah Shansky and the Titanic Dance Band, an instant classic that will be in my library forever. You probably wont hear it. You’ll hear something else that you never would have heard otherwise, that I’ll never hear. Some band with no online presence that’s perfect for you.

I use Univershuffle when I’m really unable to make decisions about music listening but just have music playing to tune out the world. Bonus is I’m now finding random artists and albums to explore. Univershuffle is really well integrated with Apple Music. AND the Mac can run it for battery free long plays.

This is a brilliant idea. Discover music without the help of big tech. They're hindering you more than helping, trust me. That said, there are some things Univershuffle could do to help you drill down a little little bit more into what you might be interested in at the time. I'm sending feedback to the dev.

Univershuffle is so much fun! It’s a great tour around all the different music being created in the world. It’s so much fun realizing how production values are so important, how very few people get the vocal mixes right, how boring and generic most music is. But when the good songs come – and they come! – it’s a revelation.
