Seems pretty cool. Is there a demo of the gestures they are talking about? "change the song completely with gestures without looking on your screen"

cc @zisk check this out! @Jeroen0704 looks cool! What's the story behind the app's creation? What's the future of it?

The Don

@Jeroen0704 after trying for one day, the only thing I miss so far is the ability to skip to a letter on the right side. I assume that was taken out for simplicity sake? Maybe if I scroll with two fingers I could jump quickly between letters? Edit: also, I really like the swipe down to search. Have you though about swipe up to return instead of tapping cancel?

@syswarren There is currently no demo of the app (planning to make one), but you can change the songs by swiping left or right. Adjust the volume by moving your finger up and down. And in the landscape player you can also play and pause the screen by just tapping somewhere on the entire screen. Besides those there are some more gestures in the menu, such as the standard menu gestures in iOS 7 and a pull down to search gesture.

@Jeroen0704 I know how difficult this is to make a demo so no worry. Thanks for answering, I'm downloading the app right now :) Good job!

@ErikTberg Thanks! I started working on the first version of Play It about 3 years ago. It was my first serious app and I created it because I love music and wanted to do something with the beautiful touch screen of the iPhone: so a gesture based music player was born :) The first version was released at the end of 2011. I’ve been updating Play It until version 2.3 which was released at the end of 2012. I had to stop working on it because of school and other projects. Until a few moths ago I wasn’t even using my own app anymore, because it was outdated and had some bugs. My goal was to completely redesign Play It so I and other people would use it again. I believe I achieved that goal, because I’m using Play It again and it works better than before. My plans for the future are to keep updating the app, so it will be the best and most fun/easy to use music player on iOS.
