“Ecoute Is The Best Music Player For iOS. Period.” - MacStories.

Ecoute for iOS is an alternative player using your existing musical library. It sports a clean and elegant interface, revolves around gestures to help you control your music quickly, and integrates Twitter, Facebook, and Last.fm so you can share your favorites tracks.
It enhances your control over the music by adding more options like shuffle by albums, play next and add up next.

Moreover, Ecoute offers the ability to manage the now playing queue. Add songs on the go and reorganize your tracks with ease!

The user interface automatically switches into night mode as the brightness of the screen decreases. You can also force the night mode if the default UI doesnt fit you.

Ecoute supports AirPlay and iTunes Match. Metadata like Play counts, and last played dates are synchronised.
Available filters are Artists, Albums, Composers, Genres, Playlists, Compilations, Songs, and Audiobooks.

** IMPORTANT **:
Music.app needs to be installed for Ecoute to works properly.

Pros and cons of Ecoute app for iPhone and iPad

Ecoute app good for

This app is what Apple Music was before it was turned into a bloated, hit single-obsessed wreck. If you want something that basically functions like a CD player and plays albums, in order (as God, The Beatles, and Pink Floyd intended) without endless fussing over playlists, then this is the app for you. I use it on an iPad, so the interface isnt as pretty as some, but who cares. It works!
Love Ecoute in general, but I dont like the new large icon grid display. Please bring back the option to have 3-icon width grid. This new UI requires a lot more scrolling to find your music. I give 5 stars for Ecoute- which achieves music management in a simple efficient way, but only 2 stars for the refreshed grid display which is a step backwards.
I love the feel of this app, the same feel that apple has taken from us in iOS 10s Music app. Can easily see this app replacing the default app, as I only use local music anyway. Only thing I wish this app had was more sorting and secondary filter options. Something like sort by Album, then by Artist (instead of just alphabetical), similar to how itunes or the iOS 9 music app does it. Again great app and hope it stays great!
Apple gives us the ability to hide apps, and yet I hide the Apple music app and Ecoute no longer functions. How sad, I was all finally excited there would only be a need to install one music app on my iPhone. I want to rid my phone of these redundancies. Anyways, could this become a stand alone app and function without Apple music or is this still not possible?
Amazing app, its become my default music player on iOS, but if its at all possible it needs to have the ability to sort albums by Year Released, something that Apple no longer feels is necessary in the default app. Putting in more sorting options would be incredibly handy!
I love Ecoute player, but this update is not good for me because Grid view shows too large jacket image. I think that Grid view should show 12 imases.

Some bad moments

I like this app and it is good but I have over 8000 songs on my phone and when I pull down to reveal the search bar to search for an album, as soon as I start typing the whole app crashes and sends me back to the home screen. Also, when displaying the list of albums, playlists, etc it only shows the first few letters of the title. It would be nice if I could see the full names of my albums and playlists.
This App is very nice butI really miss 3x4 grid view, not cool with my iPhone 6Plus with 2x3. Actually I need 4x5 or more for option and also both-hand mode :)
For the amount of bugs it doesnt deserve more than 2 stars. And the dev doesnt respond, only fixed some stupid last.fm bugs when core funcionality like queueing is broken
Even with this last update, tracks are not scrobbled on Last.fm. Only the "now playing" works.
My review was 5 stars until the latest update. I give it one star for easy shuffle. They lose 4 stars for giant album art mimicking Apple. I hate it. You have to scroll forever to browse artists. Please bring back previous size or at least an option to change artwork size.
This app took the lead from Apple and decided that users dont want to use the star rating to rate songs. There appears to be no way to rate songs with Ecoute, unfortunately. Its a waste of money.
