MakeMyMusic ($0.99)
Version 1.1
Not happy with the ipod functionality on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch? Looking for a funner and more customizable way to set up your daily listening? Well you may really enjoy MakeMyMusic then!
Developed by Tekton Technologies this app is slick. It looks slicks and it’s a new way to play your music from your iPhone or Apple Device. Let’s take a look ..
When you first open the app it goes to your music to choose a song to start. Hitting the ‘i’ button in the lower right hand corner goes in to a bunch of tweaks you can make to enhance your playback experience. That brings up the Music Options, where you can set which songs play when, the look and behavior of your app, display settings, and much more.
First let’s look at the “My Music” button. By opening this you can actually go into your song list and define which songs you’d like to hear during different parts of the day. So, if you’d like mellow music while sitting in your office, you can set that up while keeping the fun and energetic tracks for later in the day when you need a little pep in your step.
From here let’s look at the “Time of Day” option. This is where you define the app’s different times of day .. i.e. morning, noon, evening, and night. These of course work with the customize tracks that you just set in the “My Music” options.
Going into the General and Display options let you define the user experience, from the background image, to shuffling options, slideshows, and so on.
Ok .. so you’ve set up your music for the different times of day, you’ve tweaked your settings, and now it’s ready to go. Now when you open the app, it determines what time of day it is, then goes into your music listing and retrieves the songs you’ve designated for that time slot. It not only does this but it presents it on a very rich and user – definable screen.
In addition there are some really nice controls built into this app as well. For instance, to change a song you can either set it to act on the shake to shuffle feature or you can simply flick the screen to the next track. Want to change the volume? Just drag your finger up or down the screen and it’s easy as that! Want to change your place within a track? Grab the spinning ball in the middle of the screen and reposition it. There are all kinds of really nice tweaks built into this.
All in all for $0.99 this is a pretty slick app that really bumps your music playing experience up a few notches. If you use your iPhone or Apple Device for music as well I’d suggest heading over to the app store and grabbing a copy of this today. You will be really pleased!
