About this app

The app will show you all the music on your device, sorted by Artist, Album, and a list of all the songs. Your mp3s can be played, paused, and rewound.

Pick your favorite colors to bring back old memories

The click wheel works just like how you remember, with haptic feedback while scrolling. You can adjust the clickwheel clicker, shuffle songs, and/or repeat all options in the settings.

This was a lot of fun to make, if you have any suggestions please use the email below :)

Ratings and reviews

I really want to like this app and don't wanna knock the developer too much. The UI is very nostalgic. I appreciate the privacy of the app and it works okay with a smaller library. However, I have a fairly large music library and it simply will not load my music folder. I've tried downloading this app several times, but it never is able to load my full library.

Wonderful! Feels so much like my old iPod classic 7th generation, I love it! Fast, easy to use app, and no ads or streaming service just like the iPod. I'm a fan, and have already reccommended this app to others. Does lack a radio, not that it truly needs one. Do consider that you need music downloaded to listen to. Bottom line, if you like having an ipod and phone, this is a fantastic way to combine them.

Would have loved to give 5 stars but..... It's glitchy and sometimes needs to rescan for your library. Sometimes you can't pick up where you left off if you were listening to a song. (Having a feature that would remember the song you were last playing or where you left off in the playlist would be much appreciated!)orLYRICS with CENTER button. The original (i)Pod was THE MOST dependable mp3 player on the market while other mp3 players glitched... I want to see that similar quality emulated here.
