As someone who haven't experienced an iPod irl. This by the closest to using one. I love this app, but Quick suggestion: instead of the loading throbbed on the "scanning for files" could you replace it with a loading bar that looks similar to the one on macOS? Cuz, I own a not-so-good phone & it takes a long time to get my music library (4.3GBs) fully scanned. With a loading bar, I could get a rough idea of how long should I wait till the scan finishes. Other than that, This app is perfect!

First time, so far, works amazingly I mainly use mp3s, so it started fine no problems, no ads which is amazing! Im not sure how to make a playlist with songs but I know how to make one, I just wish it told you how to add songs please add a widget for this app in the ipod theme^_^ would make it very cool! Also maybe customizable ipod colors edit-there are settings to change the color of the ipod :)

This would be a 5-star app if it actually worked. It is beautiful, and occasionally functional, but mostly it sits on "scanning music files" eternally, and/or constantly pops up Android alert "wait, or close app". Somehow after 2 days of it scanning, it actually worked for a couple of hours and this was amazing! It would be perfect if it would actually complete scanning and stop hanging in the background.

Amazing but one major issue why in planet earth does a song that doesn't have a publisher just get renamed to unknown song instead of the file name. Soooo annoying. I want to bulk download hundreds of songs that don't have a publisher and that means I have to rename EVERY song one by one. No way I'm doing that. I'm sticking to retropod until this is fixed hence why it'd give it 2 stars and not 5. Everything else is better than retropod. Better looks, control, menu, etc
