11 Positive User Reviews for SmartPlaylist
Smart playlists on your iDevice
I have been using this through several releases. This is a great app if you like to create smart playlists based upon things such as star rating or last played date (as I do). You can also tell a smart playlist to also include or exclude the contents of another smart playlist. This is very hand for creating complex queries to generate mixes based upon many conditions. With iTunes deprecating the star rating, this is a must have for me.
A must have
The best way to shuffle your playlists and actually get to hear all your songs, not just the ones Apple keeps repeating while ignoring the later songs on your playlists.
Buggy?
Since installing the latest version, my Recently Played playlist in iTunes doesn’t update. Otherwise, functionality remains solid, if not precisely intuitive. Worth the price.
Nothing More Powerful than this app
November 2018: I am wondering where did my older review has gone. Anyway, there is nothing more powerful than this app to find music from your library, and ability to sort by multiple parameters. Of course, this has a bit of learning curve, but if you are passionate about rating and finding music other than just by artist/album etc. in completely customized way that suits your mood and desire, this is perhaps the only app. I am surprised that almost all music playing app still rely on static pla
Functional
Functional but the design and user experience could be drastically better. Just might make my own app like this.
You can also rate not playing now tracks
showing rating of each track in playlist and possibility to rate not playing now track is great also customizable playlist fields like add or remove comment field is awesome. Wish it had fav heart filter and showing also giving it too and possibility to edit some fields will be super.
Timer needed
Please add count down timer to stop playing after xxx minutes
Bug with v12.1.4
I really like this app and have been using it for years. It is an excellent alternative to the smart playlist capabilities of iTunes, since this actually works.
Recently I had a very minor issue with the app. The developer identified and fixed the issue quickly. Great support!
Unique feature
This app does at least one thing others don’t: finds tunes that belong to two or more playlists (using the List Operation = field). Thank you, developer!
I love it!
Being able to create smart playlists on my phone is incredible, especially since you can’t create smart playlists on Macs anymore because of the lack of iTunes. I’ve tried a couple of different smart playlist apps but this is the only one that has the flexibility and scope of options that lets me create exactly the playlists I want. The UI is a little weird but it’s not difficult once you get the hang of it. If you want to create iTunes style smart playlists on your phone, I HIGHLY recommend thi
Powerful tool for weighted playlists
I’ve been using this powerful app for years to build weighted playlists of my music, i.e. lists that “shuffle” in higher rated songs more often than lower rated ones. (This cannot be done with iTunes smart playlists because Apple Music does not support live updating of any but the simplest smart playlists—lame.)
Like any powerful tool, there’s a learning curve but it’s well worth the invested time. The developer has been very responsive.
Great app. Highly recommended.
