MacMagazine

"O Play vai muito além de um simples agregador de links."

John Voorhees

@johnvoorhees

Play from @mactanaka is an excellent utility for saving links to YouTube links to watch later. The app features great design, powerful sorting and filtering, deep Shortcuts support, widgets, and syncs across all Apple platforms.

Federico Viticci

@viticci

One of the first great new apps of 2022 is now out: Play is a fantastic YouTube watch-later app for all Apple platforms. Great filtering options, support for YouTube metadata, and deep Shortcuts integration. $1.99, Universal purchase (!).

@craigmcclellan

I’ve been on the beta for this app, and it’s great. Especially for folks who have gone all in on multiple home screens. I have multiple widgets from Play on my iPad mini’s “Watch” Home Screen. Be sure to check it out.

@ivanyc

Congratulations 👍 I’m trying since Beta and I can only say that this is best app ever made for YouTube. If you add in app play that be killer future. Super Great App!!!

Tim Parker

@timpSFV

Absolutely fantastic. I loathe YouTube’s ‘watch later’ organization and this app is worth a lot more than 1.99.

@zgrrmk

Imported 650 YT links into Play. Now I can find any video in my library easily. Thanks for this great app 👍

Craig Hockenberry

@chockenberry

This works great with our free @TriodeApp! Open Track History, select any track, then Share Track Link and "View details with MusicSmart". Tons of info for music nerds like me :-)

Federico Viticci

@viticci

As a kid, I loved reading liner notes for my favorite albums. MusicSmart is an amazing new utility for @AppleMusic that lets you view detailed credits for any song. Engineers, performers, samples, and more. If you miss music credits, this app is for you.

John Voorhees

@johnvoorhees

As soon as I tried MusicSmart, I knew @mactanaka had built something special. Drawing from multiple online databases, MusicSmart organizes and reveals details about the music you love that you'd never discover otherwise.

9to5Mac

Filipe Espósito

Oliver Haslam

"If you imagined a read-later app but for music, MusicBox is it. Big music fans might even find it to be the best iPhone, iPad, and Mac app they downloaded in some time!"

I don't review apps often these days, but when I do, it has to be something special. This new app is coming tomorrow and I can't wait to explain why it's one of the best things I've used in a long time.

Pete Riddle

@pcridd

Looking forward to adding another @mactanaka app to my toolbox. As a power user of both MusicHarbor and MusicSmart, I already appreciate how his apps make it easy for me to be an informed DJ on @InhailerRadio.

Paul Williams

@wonk71

I thought Play was damn clever this is just brilliant- the app I desperately needed to collect new music to listen to!! Just realised it’s on the Mac too. Great job again well done Marcos 👍🏼🔥

@prendio2

I’ve 10 year old notes on my phone for an app idea called Music Inbox… this may be the justification I need for a decade of procrastination, instantly pre-ordered.

Matt Banks

@mattbanks

So excited for this! I use MusicHarbor to dump things in an “On Deck” playlist, but this will consolidate things so much better!
