The cross fade works ok, you have to navigate to settings to find how to adjust the time and type. Would have been a good idea to default the settings to a standard 5 sec x- fade, instead of making us figure it out. Mine defaulted so it would cut 3/4 of the song off to fade. Also, this player won’t play some of the tunes in my library, I assume it’s a permissions thing embedded in the song data, however there should be coding in the app to deal with this. I’ve had other non-apple player apps that did not do this. It’s clear the developers created, posted and then forgot about this app. I should have read the reviews before wasting the money. Why won’t apple just add cross fade function to their app????
