About this app

This is a simple music widget you can add to your home screen, to listen to the music stored in your device.
While it's playing music, it will show you the name of the song/artist in the widget itself and in a notification, which also shows up on your lock screen.

Touch the headphone icon to find and select the song you want to play.
The widget and its notification have play/pause/stop/previous/next buttons to control what you are playing.
The first button in the widget lets you enable or disable the random playback order.

Note: This app will not create a new shortcut in your application drawer. You simply need to add the widget to your home screen.

Ratings and reviews

This would actually be a nice app if it had a status bar so I could skip into or go back to listen to in a song (or one of my lessons) but if you miss something, wanna go back, or just want to hear a certain part, you won't be able to do that with your this app. You'll have to listen to it all the way though and if you happen to miss your part, you'll have to start it back over from Ukraine beginning, again.

Glitches when manually selecting another track, preferring to play the next in sequence. But despite this, actually does exactly what I need and want it to do, which is simply play music when I ask it to. (Changing track whilst the current song is playing seems to work better. Don't pause then change 👍🏼)

Should be 4x1, not 4x2. Lacks a setting to control music from a single music app. This is basically a standalone media player with no media player functions, which makes it kind of useless for me. Edit: Thanks for fixing it and responding for my comment, 4 years after I posted it. Useless.
