## Description

You can view and edit your currently playing song which can be displayed as a widget. You can create your own custom widget themes so they match any setup. Note: Some actions, such as playback control, require a Spotify Premium account. All playback controls are available with Apple Music. MusicView is not affiliated with Spotify or Apple Music.

## Review summary

MusicView is a customizable music widget that offers playback controls and image-based themes, with positive feedback when it functions—especially for Spotify users—and is affordably priced. However, it’s plagued by ads in a paid app, inability to save themes, unreliable controls, and inconsistent auto-refresh/album art updates. Service compatibility (Spotify vs Apple Music) and setup clarity are common pain points. Overall, a promising concept with strong customization, but reliability and monetization issues limit its usefulness.

### Pros

- Playback controls on the widget (play/pause/skip) and quick music control from the home screen
- Strong customization: background images and themes
- Affordable price and perceived value for a feature-rich music widget
- Positive sentiment for Spotify users; praised as among the best Spotify widgets
- Refresh/update feature that keeps track info current (for some users)

### Cons

- Ads in a paid app; bottom ad cannot be closed
- Inability to save or apply custom themes
- Unreliable controls: taps often don’t work; widget opens the music app instead of controlling playback
- Auto-refresh and album art updates are inconsistent or delayed; album art may be missing
- Compatibility/setup issues: inconsistent behavior across Spotify/Apple Music and unclear setup instructions
