Worth it for the Last.fm support and more
Tenkowski
Altogether it cost me more or less $10 to buy this app with the Last.FM+ in-app purchase, I would say it’s pretty worth it. I came for the Apple Music scrobbling support – which works perfectly by the way, but I soon discovered this app feels like a supercharged version of the default Music app. For example, one thing Apple Music currently doesn’t let you see is a list of your previously loved songs. With Marvis? Loved tracks are shown, and when you unlove them within Marvis they get unloved on Apple Music too. Absolutely incredible stuff, and I’m sure there’s more in Marvis I haven’t discovered yet. My only complaint would be to change some of the design. Getting into Marvis’s settings is a two step process which is to tap a tiny, semi hidden hamburger menu button on the top left, then to hit the settings button which is all the way at the bottom right. Next, I don’t really like any of Marvis’s app icons at all. Even though the dev has a selection of icons for you to choose from, which is a step in the right direction, none of them really stand out or shout “I’m the Marvis app” to me. A better Marvis icon would look so good, but because it has no good icon I have it hidden away in a folder. Just my two cents! Otherwise, five star app right here.
Awesome!

I’m still learning the ropes of all the app can do but right off that bat last.fm integration is awesome! It’s great to be able to have so much control over scrobbles.
Wish I could edit genres.

This app shines for what it doesn’t have compared to Apple Music: the clutter, the dark patterns pushing you away from your library, the queueing nightmare. It brings its own complexity in the form of extensive settings for power users, but these are optional. The one limitation I’m still frustrated with is Genres, specifically the inability to change them. Apple Music is terrible at assigning genres, they’re all over the place and often outright wrong. But maybe there’s a hidden setting? Developer response was very good, updated review to 4 stars. But I wish there were in-app help to save us all some time.
Widget Issue
D Frey
I want the widget to display music controls. I edit the widget and turn on that setting, and it works. For a while, anyway. If I stop listening to music for a while, the controls disappear from the widget, and I have to edit the widget again to bring them back. On a free app, this would only be a minor annoyance, because you get what you pay for. This isn’t a free app. Or even a $2 app. For $6.99, I expect more.

Best music app and iOS music replacement app. Been using for many years and will never go back to the stock music app.

The developer did a great job developing this app, is very responsive, clearly puts a lot of effort in. The app is refreshing in how much you can customize it. I also am glad to have last.fm scrobbling now. However, after using it a couple weeks, I prefer the default Music app. I just think the UI of the default app makes more sense and allows you to get more out of Apple Music functionality. You can’t have the ‘For You’ page as the default on Marvis, can’t make it an item on the navbar. There is no “Browse” section. When you go to genres in Apple Music, it can be a very long list playlists in an order that isn’t helpful/relevant to you. Yes, you can change the sort order, but I don’t know how to get relevant playlists just to appear orderly like they do in the default Music app. The customization makes you miss out on the curation of the default app, which makes things work less well for me. When you search in Marvis, it pretty much deactivates the ‘swipe to activate navbar’ functionality which is super frustrating because the search bar is all the way at the top and I have to clear my search at the top (ruins one-handed ergonomics) before I can do anything else in the app. When you search for a song in Apple Music in Marvis (not your searching your own library) and finish listening to it, instead of Autoplay functionality playing a song that is similar in genre/type to the song you just listened to, it just plays the next song listed in the search view that has a similar title. I’m rooting for the developer because of how much effort and care he has put into the app, and I suspect a lot of these issues are from Apple’s APIs being limiting. But if I could go back in time, I don’t think I’d spend the $10-12 for this app (with the in-app last.fm purchase).
Just Get This!

Here’s what I love: 1) When laying phone in landscape, the app rotates so you can see album cover and commands 2) When shuffling music, it actually plays a a reshuffled mix. I find that Apple Music player doesn't play all the music 3) Cosmetically more appealing and easy to use. Here's what I wish was better: Make the fonts bigger
Best Music App, By Far
Luc Turgeon
First time ever writing a review for an app because I love this that much. I was looking for a way to scrobble tracks that aren’t saved to my Apple Music library and someone on Reddit recommended this app, and my god this thing works flawlessly. In addition to that, the UI is better than the actual Apple Music app and there are other great last.fm perks here as well. Completely worth the seven bucks, without question.
Needs CarPlay

Great music app. The best replacement for Music on an iOS device. It's so good, in fact, it's almost unforgivable that there is no CarPlay support.
