Pay the App No Mind
There is no need to look at the screen in order to control the music; you can just carry on with your activities. The app offers a sleep timer, you use gesture controls, and there is even a dimmer setting. The app works in landscape and portrait mode, and you can have it set up to automatically shift or you can lock it to your preferred choice. Other features you can control by gestures are to play all the songs by one particular artists or to turn off/on shuffle mode.

Using this App
Of course it’s one thing to read about all the features and tools of this app but does it actually work? It’s definitely a smooth process thanks to the gesture controls. I love that just with a swipe/tap of the screen I can fast forward, rewind, and turn on/off my music. I like that it allows me to focus on other tasks while enjoying my favorite tunes in the background.

That means you decide how you want to access the controls rather than the developer just giving you a one-size-fits-all approach. By setting up the gesture controls you are also learning in the process so there is no need for a tutorial or experimenting to see what does what.
The user interface has been kept clean and uncluttered which certainly adds more positives to this already very user-friendly and feature-heavy app.
