User Reviews

iRetro’s concept and nostalgic iPod–inspired UI garner appreciation for pairing songs from your Apple library, but it’s plagued by instability and missing features. Reviewers report frequent crashes, non-functional controls, and settings that won’t open. Features like Cover Flow and smooth navigation are unreliable, and the app can’t import non-Apple music or connect to Spotify. Accessibility options are limited (no font size control). With years of stagnation, the experience feels unfinished despite the appealing design.

Pros

Nostalgic iPod-like UI that appeals to fans of classic devices.
Works with your Apple library and can play songs from it.
Visually appealing design and overall concept that feels like a real iPod experience.

Cons

Frequent crashes and overall instability; the app often stops responding or exits.
Core features like Settings, Cover Flow, and navigation frequently don’t work or are non-functional.
Limited music sources (only Apple Music/library); cannot import non-Apple music or link services like Spotify.
Accessibility options are lacking (no font size control).
Not updated for years, giving a sense of abandonment and unfinished execution.

我觉得这个应用非常得好，作为一个中国人，我的想法，看看你在优化一些能选择语言

Great idea but they have missed the mark. Cover flow doesn’t work, video doesn’t work, click will needs better touch response, plus why is the iPod not taking up the whole screen. This app could be waaaaaay better.
