LivePod 4+

Just Needs More Options

I really like the idea for this app, but I do wish on dynamic island iPhones that there was an option to disable the dynamic island pop-up in favor of only using the lock screen pop-up. It’s not that I wouldn’t use it, but as of right now I prefer the Music app dynamic island pop-up; however, I really like the lock screen up-next pop-up. I will say that the dynamic island pop-up would be really useful if it always displayed the fast-forward prompt; it seems like it doesn’t always do it, like on the home screen. I want to recognize that there’s a great foundation here, this is a cool app, I just feel like these options could really make it more customizable.

Developer Response ,

So glad you like the app. I can definitely agree with you that having an option to disable Dynamic Island activity would be good to have, this is the very first thing I asked Apple developers when they introduced Live Activities for Dynamic Island but unfortunately iOS requires third party apps to show both live activities and doesn’t offer us any way to disable either. I hope you understand.

Tip: You can manually swipe the LivePod’s activity to only show Music app’s.

Thanks for reviewing.

Doesn’t work

I’m a huge fan of Marvis but sometimes I’m using the stock app so bought this because I’d love to see what’s next in case that happens. I get that this app is supposed to show live activities and what’s next, but it’s not working. Documentation is also non-existent. Bought premium to support the dev whose work I love, but not finding the value in this app. Giving 5 stars cause I don’t want to punish but it’s not a 5-star app (yet).

Cool concept

Like it so far, sometimes it gets ‘stuck’ on the up next song and doesn’t update

Would be nice (if it’s possible) to have a thumbs up/like button for the up next song since Apple doesn’t have one for the currently playing song
