FlickTunes

Just buy it!

By: bschwartz

This app is what the iPod app on the iPhone should have been. It makes the app so much easier to use in the car and while running. The text on the screen is much easier to read and the controls infintely easier to use while not looking directly at the iPhone. The new features that were added just keep making this app more and more worthwhile. Can't wait to see what they add next. If you use the iPod app a lot this is a no brainer purchase.

works great

By: zodiastic

Very intuitive commands make it easy to brainlessly (and sightlessly) change song and volume while driving. So much safer than hunting for the teeny button in the ipod functionality. Highly recommended.

Great for the car!

By: Fazetoo

I've checked out several of these types of applications, and Flicktunes ended up being the one that met my needs. The response to the swipes is very forgiving. No accidental volume blast increases, etc. There is enough customization options to allow one to setup the player to best meet their needs. The 30 second forward and reverse option is a great feature in the car, much better than the tiny scrobbler option in the standard player. Another nice feature is the automatic shuffle of your music collection if you don't want to pick a particular song/album/playlist at the start. Overall very easy to use and navigate with the minimal amount of attention needed to divert from the road. Lastly, the price is a bargain. Thanks!

Great, BUT

By: Doc2008

No power save mode so that is unfortunate. Ugly icon Otherwise they hit the sweet spot. I like this over fluxtunes and opus.

The new version is better than ever!

I love this app and use it every day! You don't realize what you're missing until you get this... This update rocks - the new look is awesome! To all the old reviewers saying it lacks this or that, check it out again. Just about everything you've asked for is there now.

Great app! (Needs 1more great feature)

By: oldbroadway

This is a handy app. Dose it's job! One thing that would make this app the best app and outstanding to it's competition is by having the ability to see the lyrics of the song while the songs playing. Ps. That one feature would make me pay more cash for this app.

Awesome app

By: MagicMan505

Perfect for driving, walking, and workouts.

Good App

By: Taurus X-1

Good for keeping your eyes on the road while driving. Especially useful for iPods that do not connect to cars.

Great app with a very good interface!

By: ZZZOOMM

This has made my driving much safer. I love using my iPhone while driving. This worked so well and it is very intuitive (Something you don't see in a lot of apps these days.) I thought I would use the Lefty mode but actually normal works best for me. I wish I could use this with Pandora but I realize that would mean using it as a background task.

bad app. Save your money!

By: kurtpr

does not even give you a readout where you are in a song. No fast forward or reverse just skipping 30s. 2x and 0.5x speed don't work, a must for podcast listeners. buggy interface.

Killer app

By: Pyenoh

Love this app for when I'm driving!! A life saving app. Just load your playlist or tracks in iTunes or the app itself and then run the app. Control every aspect with a flick. My only issue is that when I'm driving and the phone is flat next to my gear shift, depending on the road level/grade the app flips to landscape or just flips. Not that big of a prob now that I stuff something under the top. Still a killer awsome app!!

lousy

This thing doesn't work so well. I want my buck back.

Excellent...still a staff favorite!

By: buttbutt_03

version 1.2 is working great!

Love this app!

I Lost My $0.99!!!!!!!!!!

By: Victor Lafuente

This App has an horrendous interface and the swipes are not always recognized. I prefer to double-click the home button and bring my iPod Controls...

Safe Flick

By: ChiefCarit

Simple and easy to use.

This is the answer to my prayers

By: El Brooklyn

If you're a VW driver who's tried to use the VW branded iPod connector, you've been locked out of your player for the past three years because you just get an "Accessory Attached" screen whenever you plug it in. This program is great because it gives you full control (including steering wheel buttons) as well as having the great-while-driving big type and pictures. Thanks, SoGeeky! The only issue I have is that my iPhone 3GS with a Monsoon double-din head unit and VW brand iPod connector won't permanently pause with a flick. It stops for just a few seconds, then resumes play.

Excellant

By: eastsidebill

Just what I needed for use while driving.

Saves me from wrecking.

Easy to use while driving. Has enough customization to please everyone.

Flick Tunes Review

By: Molex1701

This had become my favorite music player. I use the built in music player to use Genius play list then switch to Flick Tunes to control it while at work, in car or whatever. I even placed it on my docked icons. It allows easy switching of music, pause/play, and volume control with swipe of your fingers.

This app has grown a lot!

By: 1337_g33k

Sure, the first release of this app had a few bugs (hey, it was a brand new app on a brand new OS), but it's grown a lot since it was released. It's got a ton of new features and is rock solid now. I'm surprised by all the one and two star ratings for this app. Notice how nearly all of the written reviews are glowing? Give it a shot, what have you got to loose? 99 cents? Big whoop. If you still don't like it, contact the support or leave a review saying why! Who knows, maybe they'll fix it.

Crashes FREQUENTLY

By: Thedudemanchill

And the interface is pretty clunky... 1.2 Update: the player keeps on crashing on me! UNACCEPTABLE. It seems to happen practically every time I use it!

Fills a big hole in iPod navigation!

By: rtgoodwin

I like to set my iphone on my console while driving, and use the AUX jack to

Very handy in the car

By: digikey

Great for while driving, but like others have said, it is difficult to use anywhere but the car because of it's auto-rotate feature. One minor thing that bugs me is that I am so used to cover flow that I sometimes skip backwards instead of fast-forwarding to the next track because coverflow "moves" the view opposite the way you flick. A setting to reverse the swipe direction would be very nice.

Perfect for the treadmill!

By: buttbutt_03

Very easy to control while running and not wanting to become the next commercial where you slide off the deck!!!

Not too bad

By: Jimothy42

Great for the car. I wish you could make it so 1 flick up and down controls the volume and maybe 1 tap pauses/unpauses. It makes it worthless to stick in your pocket at the gym because it rotates too much.

A really nice simple interface for itunes

By: efusco

A great way to move through, pause, play and replay your music without fumbling with the tiny buttons built into iTunes. If you listen to music frequently on your iPhone you need this.

Exactly what I needed for the car!!!

By: treck

I was really frustrated with how small Apple made the text of the Artist, song and album. It was a struggle to read it while driving. This app was just what I was looking for. Well done. I can drive safer, read info easily, and control playback by swiping without looking at the iPod. Also glad to see more controls are already in the works for the next version. Keep up the great work!

Great on the motorcycle too

By: 919Nick

This app is great on the motorcycle. The touch screen will respond just enough for this app to let me control my music with leather gloves on and through the clear map pocket on my tank bag. Try doing that with the normal controls. This saved me a bunch of money on a remote control.

Perfect

By: EDMD

Excellent implementation. Easy to read, easy to control while driving. Simply the perfect Car iPod app out there. Thanks

Love it!!!!

By: seraph444

Great app for the car. It makes sure I don't crash while I check to see what is playing or change to a new song!

Great App!

By: NickB916

What a great app this is, very simple and easy to use AND solves a serious problem! Gone are the days of breaking your concentration from the road and threatening the safety of yourself and others. Periodicaly for work i have to make 9 hour road trips, and let me tell you, in the last few hundred tiring miles keeping your eyes on the road is a MUST. This app allows you to change songs, pause, resume and more just by making general swiping motions across the screen, no more tapping the home button then searching for the tiny buttons (which then require pinpoint accuracy to actually hit). The stock ipod function may look a little more elegant, but just doesnt lend itself to ease of use if your focus is elsewhere. The app is also very useful when running or other excercise... like if you have your phone in one of the armband straps, the stock controls would be difficult to see and strike, where with Flicktunes you can just get your finger anywhere on the screen. In my opinion no one should be able to rate this app any less than 4 stars for the low price of $0.99, let alone the special free give-away over the holiday weekend!

P E R F E C T !!! Five Stars!

By: jackkenney

Fantastic app! You can't beat it and it's FREE!

EXACTLY what I was looking for!

By: Techie Teacher

This is the app that Apple should incorporate directly into the core functionality of the iPhone/touch. It works just as described. Just get it -- you are less likely to crash (your car, that is...not your iPhone).

Great App! A long time in coming...

By: PlasticChicken

I don't know why someone hadn't thought of this sooner! With all the rules being enacted by state and local governments regarding cellphone use and texting while driving, this app is a MUST! For a whopping 99 cents you can keep from getting busted for using your device on the road while listening to your tunes (which in my state can equate to a $100.00 ticket for the first offence). Not to mention the cost and ripple effect of running into that person in front of you driving the '77 Lincoln Mark V that *he* believes is worth WAY more than it really is... The reasons are clear - save your driving record, your insurance premiums, and your sanity for a buck!

BRILLIANT!!!! WORKS PERFECTLY - NO MORE CRASHING THE CAR :)

By: Daisy Jane (DJ)

I've almost CRASHED HEAD ON into oncoming traffic a few times now trying to switch songs with my iPhone mounted in a windscreen holder! Therefore this app is a MUST HAVE!!! My only feedback would be perhaps the dev could "pretty up" the icon artwork (looks a bit cheap) and fonts are a bit ugly being displayed at the top and so big... Also Im sure Apple wont let the dev code features like a stop or a pause button as its against their rules? But still FlickTunes is a 5 star App. Just run your finger across the screen left or right to change song tracks. Thank you dev for making it :)
