I built a location-based music player for Apple Music. Feedback wanted

[u/Similar_Shallot7922]

Hey all,

I'm looking for beta testers for my app MelodyScape.

It's my take on a location-based music player that lets you experience and share music through maps.

MelodyScape expands on Apple Music by letting you attach music from your Apple Music library to real-world zones and routes, so playback can change based on where you are. You can also import your own audio files if you prefer.

The way it works is you draw zones or routes on a map, assign music to them, and turn walks, road trips, and daily commutes into personalized soundtracks! You can also share those experiences with others, or collaborate on maps with friends and family.

I'm really not sure how many people are looking for an app like this, but hey if you're into music and you're on the move a lot, I'd love to hear what you think.

I'd really appreciate feedback on how the features can be made more useful, if there's any faulty behavior, anything that could be more intuitive, whether the pricing feels fair, and really any constructive feedback.

For any interested in joining the beta, here's the link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/brD8pKgK

Thanks in advance!

Edit: For anyone new to beta testing, the beta is 100% free. You will not be charged for purchases made in this beta. So, if you see the paywall or want to upgrade, you can continue with either the Yearly or Monthly subscriptions free of charge.

Another edit: If it matters to you, you can follow this post (or follow me), I'll be posting updates from time to time until launch. Thanks again!

Why does it say Bart

It's a holdover from when I made a 'cinematic' scene of Central Park populated with zones for illustrative purposes (to show during onboarding), but I was worried about using copyrighted artwork.

Thanks so much, that really means a lot. I've been working on this for about a year without knowing if anyone would find this idea useful or even worth checking out, so I really appreciate it!

It’s really creative and new. I’ve never seen something like this. you should start content creating so you’d be able to let more people know about this

Hey! I recently posted about my app ReverieFM: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reverie-fm/id6777534020 and was thinking about adding a playlist feature like this. Maybe we could work together on a combined app? Feel free to DM me!

Just needed to include this since some features will appear paywalled.
