Does just what it promises to do
Dombett
This is a Godsend. I listen to my iPhone at my desk, but I'm constantly interrupted by co-workers and the phone. (Darn that work!) But then I forget to turn it back on, only to be jolted when my wireless headphones turn off automatically and blast static in my ears at high volume. Take Five is a nice alternative because it gently eases me back into the music automatically, but at an interval I control. The only thing I wish it did that it doesn't (yet) do is to offer the same pause/auto-unpause control of podcasts. For some reason, the only playlists available are music, but no podcasts. I know I'm a geek who listens to people talking instead of cool music, but is there any way to accommodate this poor geek?
Beautiful Little Utility
Louie Mantia
Take Five does a great job at what it claims to do. Ever pause your music and forget to resume playing it? This app will automatically resume your music so you're not sitting there listening to silence. It's beautiful, simple, has access to my playlists, and allows me to not only pause, but go to the previous or next song as well. Functions as a wonderful supplement to the iPod app.
Amazing design
BlueRocketSi
Really great design (David Lanham obviously). App solves an issue I frequently encounter at the office, thanks! One request is to add a shuffle all songs button -- sometimes I want easy access to start shuffling my music. Other than that... Nice little app!
Useful tool!
Benjamin George
Happens to me all the time at work, when i pause the music and forget to un-pause only to realize after a couple of minutes when suddenly the world feels too quiet. Simple app and a smart timer control, and Mr. Lanham has done a good job on the interface!
I won't go deaf!
Matthew Dinwiddie
Great app that does exactly what it says! Now I don't feel like I'm going to go deaf when my music starts playing again.
Helpful Utility for a Cube Monkey
Matt Fletcher
This is a great app for those of us who don't have the luxury of closing our doors to the world. Accomplishes something that I fail to do manually very well myself. Thanks!
Superb music utility

I listen to my iPhone throughout the day and I'm frequently interrupted at work by visitors to my office and at home by my kids. This app perfectly addresses that issue. It solves a very annoying problem with solid utility and outstanding design.
No More Listening to Silence, Unintentionally
Shawn McCullough
I'm always getting interrupted at work and have to pause my music. Now I have a quick and simple way to pause it with auto resume. Simple and to the point. Note: you don't need to start the music from within the app (as noted in another review). You can start the music in the iPod/Music app and then launch this app just to pause it. If music is playing when you launch the app it will automatically pause for 5 minutes.
Playlists only
oliverlubin
It can ONLY access existing playlists, not your music library. Otherwise beautiful and well executed.
Playlists only, not very useful.
Infiz
First i was bummed that it only works with music playing in ipod mode, nit the whole iPhone, then super bummed that it pauses/resumes pre-programmed playlists only! Deleted after 5 minutes... Wasted .99 :(
