Cesium is a simplified music player that uses your existing music library. Restored browsing functionality and clean, minimalist design makes managing small and large music collections easy. - Restores nested browsing. Focus in on your music ...
The Apple Music app made listening to music a chore filled with distractions and frustrations aplenty Cesium is designed as it should be a straightforward way to view and play music And BONUS points for landscape mode I was so sick of getting that useless collage of album art in the previous iTunes app every time the phone was flipped                 Made music listenable again
Total waste of money Wish I didnt fall for this garbage Live and learn     Zero stars
I just purchased this app which I had discovered on Apple message boards because my albums display in reverse chronological order When I open Cesium it displays the artists for a half second then brings me to a blank screen that says collection control I swiped and pressed on the screen and it does nothing other than abruptly close the app and bring me back to the home screen Any suggestions     Does not work for me
Celsium looks good and gives you more options than many other players However I have three conplaints 1 I got this app specifically because its the only one I could find that lists albums by year of release in descending order However it does me little good when the app only plays one album at a time I want to be able to start on the first album of an artist and just let it play from one album to the next 2 I dont like that songs continue to play when you shut down the app You have to press stop and then shut the app This is strange 3 The circular progress bar while novel is unwieldy Its difficult to go forward or backward in a song with any amount of precision especially if the spot you want is near the beginning or the end of the song           Okay
I have a few music players I really like but at this point nine of them beat Cesium for its ease of use features and overall look                 Great replacement for stock app
Dev responded to me quickly and was very receptive to my ideas I think that shows that this app is designed by a very caring dev This is also by far the best designed music app in terms of usability and UI Highly recommended                 Best music app period
I wish I could give this app a higher rating if I ever get to fully use it If this bug is fixed Ill be happy to rate it 5 stars Keep it up devs     Crashes upon selecting an artist album or song
Ive been using this app for a few months now and I love it It has some issues but being a beta tester I have the ability to give input to things that need change The developer is quick with fixes minus the dreaded low fps issue which now only affects artist clicks and is consistently improving I would HIGHLY recommend this app                 Promising App
Thank you for designing this it is by far the best one I have tried and is way better than the stock music app Works as well as the iOS 6 music app before apple changed everything                 Awesome music app
Lets do a better instruction or something because Im not understanding why I should use this versus just hitting play on my phone        whats the point again
Looks great works great Love it                 Great looking music app
A great replacement for the stock music app and I normally hate replacing any of the stock apps                 Great updates from developer
When and IF the first song is playing and then decide to select another song from the artist list album and then song the application crashes     Crashes when selecting a song
This app is simple effective and elegant It makes browsing my massive music library on iOS 8 as easy as it was on iOS 6 Its also actively worked on unlike most of the other Music app replacements on the store You know who you are                 What the built in Music app should be
I really like the layout Simple in a good way              Good start
This is the best alternate music app Ive found since Apples music app became bloated and awful This app runs a little slow when skipping next on songs but the interface is simple and is everything you need              Great app
Working good for me now Developer was very prompt on helping me resolve my issue with the app              Works well
With Apples Music app getting increasingly loaded with clutter its refreshing to find an app like Cesium that does one thing very well playback of your own music The UI here has all the features you could want for browsing shuffling rating etc and looks great too                 Finally a nice streamlined music listening app
After the recent update my phone auto locks despite it being disabled I tried turning it on and then off but it still doesnt work Please fix it its the reason I downloaded this app           Fix the auto lock disable
Cesium works very well with audiobooks both with single and multiple chapters It will show you the percentage of the book that you have completed and of the current chapter You can even sync the status back to iTunes so that you can sync with another device if needed I dont use iCloud so I cant speak to using that method I have been using it to play music playlists and have had no issues that others have reported                 Audiobook support is great
Just found this app in an Apple forum thread complaining about changes to native music since iOS 7 While I give props to the dev for putting together a decent looking app some very basic things are missing no scrubber bar for moving music to different location within track no ability to view or change rating of track the Repeat function is either easier or more difficult depending on your taste I prefer Apple native method which isclick on repeat and select Off Song or Album The problem this app has is that there is a delay after pressing on Repeat Ive tried it with single tracks and with albums Otherwise the dev chose to allow the user to just tap on Repeat and it toggles between Repeat off Repeat Song and Repeat Album The delay is what really annoys me The main reason why I bought this app was that I was hoping it would fix the album sort issues since iOS 7 was released which I wasnt able to find that it did Not to mention there is some general lagginess that could be improved upon Oh wouldve preferred to try this app out Seems there used to be a free version to try it           Not for me
I recently switched from an iPod classic to a 6th gen iPod touch and Apples music app for accessing your own library is lousy To switch sorting by artist to album you have to leave the app and go to system preferences Cesium makes the iPod touch much easier to use for its purpose playing music from your library Had I not found this application I wouldve gone back to my classic                 Makes iPod usable again
After having hours of my life wasted trying to get Apples music app to sort correctly within artists and to stop persistently spitting old metadata back at me while I jump up and down screaming and toggling itunes match on and off over and over while refreshing it on itunes and ripping out my hair i came across mention of this app on a forum thread I feel at peace now Things sort correctly The UI just makes sense like apple UIs used to Oh PS you can toggle match on and off within this app Thats right no more frustrating home buttonsettingsmusictoggle switchhome buttonmusic ritual any more when you say leave your wifi range every morning to drive to work I DID have the problem Bob8447 mentions below wrt the popover on first launch I agree that this needs to be rethought and if I hadnt discovered that you can swipe L to reveal other interface elements which remove it I would probably still be pulling my hair out Something else in the UI needs to tell new users how to click past that Quit apologizing to yourself on apples behalf and pay the 2 to have things work the way they should in the first place                 Fixes musicapps UI flaws
Getting there Still choppy animation when scrolling and selecting items No volume slider No search function I dont care for the circular progress view I would much rather have an option to select a timeline like in the standard music app I would like to see all songs as an album to play or shuffle The gesture to access that would not be known if you didnt read it on the update and is impractical Songs albums genres and playlists are too high up on my iPhone 6 Its a great app but certain design choices are keeping this from being a full replacement for Music           Almost
Im VERY picky about my music player app and this is currently my default Ive seriously tried about 30 or more and only a few have been worth keeping Definitely check it out of you want an upgraded music player experience                 Awesome player
I am looking for a music player alternative It would be nice if there was a way to update song ratings in the App I love the way I can organize albums Great App              Almost There
Good app but not working after last update           Update
Im a big fan I was pretty upset when the stock music app changed with ios7 The only issue I have with this app is that even though Im able to list the albums in chronologically order when I choose to play all it plays them in alphabetical order Fix this and I would gladly give 5 stars Thanks a lot              Great App But
While we wait for Apples music app to add Up Next in iOS 84 Ill use this app exclusively for playing my iTunes music                 Up Next
After spending several hours trying to figure out how to downgrade ios to get back to the old music i found out that apple wont let you COMPLETE BS that you dont have the freedom to control your phone how you want Anyway i finally found what i was looking for Nice simple back to basics music player that works The only thing i would like to add is to be able to put ratings but other than that Dont ever change Let me know if you make a desktop program because itunes is the next one i need to be rid of Thank you                 Thank you thank you thank you
Even after most recent update Its as if the FPS on the 6 Plus is too low or something           The lags are definitely still there
Cesium is light clean easy to use and works much better than Apple Music for listening to music in your collection If you want to discover new bands or stream radio style then use Spotify But Spotify wont play the stuff in your iTunes collection so for thatget Cesium                 Excellent replacement for Apple Music
Fantastic app but hate the icon Please make the icon something that denotes music in some way That simple update would make this flawless and first page worthy in my app homescreen              Great app Needs new icon
Love the app itself hate that in the four hours Ive had it Ive had to delete and reinstall it twice Once because it crashes upon opening constantly the second time because clicking any song resulted in a 404 error I hate the iOS Music app update and want to make this my default player but the crashes make it hard Update I gave up This app is unusable     Buggy
Great concept but sometimes often only the first track of an album will scrobble Fix that and itll be five a five star app        scrobbling bugs
I have this app on my iPhone but if there is anything Id like to ask for is to please optimize it for iPads and iPad minis Please Its a muse need                 I love it but there is one thing
I use this on my iPhone 6 and as long as you are playing an entire album it works fine I like the setting to view your compilations within the artists name But when I attempt to pick one song by an artist while another song is playing it plays the first track on that album and wont let me play the one I am selecting Needs some work           Has a problem or two
and ease of use and eloquence                 Restores simplicity
I finally found a replacement for Lagu I love the app But it is quite buggy still Most notably it does not scroll smoothly and lags sometimes Also theres no way to turn off the fade out of tracks so when youre listening to a live album or an album with continuity between songs theres pauses in between songs while the app fades out of the first song Another gripe is that to get to the list of songs from the album youre listening to you click on a down arrow at the bottom of the screen and it is not very responsive There has to be a better way to do this I thank the developer for creating this app and I am writing this review to inspire him to further improve and fix the app Hopefully there will be fixes soon           Great concept buggy
This app is everything the music app wishes it was                 Forget the stock music player
For those who just wish to listen to their music without being poked prodded and badgered by a helpful interface this app is the bomb It is simple and straightforwardplease keep it that way My only suggestion for improvement would be ability to customize the home bottom arrangement for example if I wanted to swap Genres in place of Songs but I can easily live with the defaults                 FANTASTIC
I really like Cesium as an alternateive to Apple Music and highly recommend it Mike Clay if you read these I have a request As of iOS 84 Apples music library does not respect the Sort Artist setting Is it possible for you to add logic to Cesium to bring sorting by album artist back It looks like Apples stupid move breaks sort artist sorting on any app that uses your own iTunes music library                 Great app feature request
Fantastic support for a fantastic app scrolling is now smooth as butter and the tap response speed is still kicking Ecoute around the block Keep up the great work                 Great performance improvements
Cesium reminds me of what Apples Music app should be not the abomination that was created when they forced Apple Music into it Still I want a music app that also plays the podcasts I have on playlists so I dont have to keep wasting hours of my life converting them to Music Make that fix Mike and Ill update this to 5 stars              Nice clean interface
This is a great app for those who liked the simpler version of iTunes You can put the music in the order you want it Im giving it 4 stars instead of 5 only because Ive experienced frequent crashes while going from album view back to the artist list in iOS 82 Hopefully this will be fixed soon              Thank You
Im really happy It fixed the sorting issue that ios 8 started and now i can sort it whichever way i want The only issue that i have is that it cant display lyrics and i have lyrics for all my music But thats just a minor issue All in all this is a great music app If youre reading my review BUY THIS APP ASAP THANK YOU MIKE CLAY              AMAZING APP
After Apple music was released I started hating listening to music on my phone and actually began looking for another phone with a more straight forward media player I work a desk job and music and podcasts are pretty essential to me day to day Having the music on your phone kind of pushed aside in the apple music app sucked I still dont understand why they didnt make it a separate app and let the team behind remote design a new music app I digress This app is awesome so far The design is clean it works with all the music on your phone already as an overlay Im assuming not sure of all the technical aspects behind it But it works great Looks great and is simple to use which is what I want with a music application I want the software to be as out of the way as possible so I can just enjoy my music this lets me do that              Pretty great Cant wait to see where it goes
Overall I really do like the app Much better than the crappy Music App that comes in IOS 7 and 8 I love the interface and have not experienced any of the lag times that others have experienced Having said that I have 2 nits to pick 1 Theres no way to set up a queue for a temporary or permanent playlist Its not the end of the world but it was one of the best features of Lagu before that developer apparently fell off the face of the earth and decided not to make his app work with IOS 8causing me to look for and ultimately find Cesium Think about making this happenit would make a good app awesome 2 And I know this is my OCD coming thru but there has GOT to be a way to make all of the album art be displayed at the same size It drives me crazy that album art Ive downloaded is sometimes big sometimes small I know its dumb but it bothers me Both the Apple Music App and Subsonic both display the same art from the same songs as full sized When playing on Cesium some of the album covers show up smaller than half size So thats all I have really The interface overall is WAY better than the standard Music App Fix a few more bugs and this would be a five star app              Not as good as Lagu but a good start
As the title says this is a great music player save for one issue The add to queue feature is very buggy Adding something causes the music to stop and start However if you add a 2nd song to the queue the music pauses completely Furthermore after each addition to the queue the UI freezes So if you wanted to add 3 songs to your queue it would take you 24 seconds in between additions and the music would be starting stopping and pausing Smaller issue A tutorial or description of what some of your features do would be very useful For example the user cant know how to add songs to the queue without guessing cant know what the gesture controls are cant know what Classical Mode does this doesnt seem to do anything etc Some personal issues 1 Im not a huge fan of how close to the bottom of the screen the UI buttons are on the Now Playing screen Its very easy to miss them Personally Id either make them a little bigger or move them further into the screen or both 2 Further down the line Id love to see a volume control slider on the Now Playing screen Or maybe some feature like CarTunes where a long press and drag changes the volume But thats me nitpicking If anyone read this its a very solid app Once the queuing issue is fixed itll be a 5 star app with a few subjective hiccups Great work devs              Pretty solid one major issue
If you miss the simple clean interface of the iOS 6 native Music app then Cesium is for you This app doesnt overload with unnecessary bells and whistles keeping the experience between you and your music as clean and direct as possible The developer works hard to keep the app updated with user requests and so far Im quite pleased Worth the purchase                 Simple clean design
