The idea

“Roast my iOS app. It's called In Progress. Here's everything about it: It's a local audio player for iPhone. You pay €1.99 once and that's it — no subscriptions, no accounts, no cloud, no ads. It plays audio files stored on your phone. That's basically it. The people who use it are musicians who get demos sent via WhatsApp and need somewhere to put them. The entire premise is "what if your Files app but slightly less terrible." The UI is neumorphic — soft shadows, raised buttons, spinning reels, the whole thing. It looks like a Teenage Engineering product had a baby with a cassette tape. The font is SF Mono, everything is in caps, the accent color is orange. Features include: folder and playlist organization, a key detection tool that tells you what musical key your track is in, a transpose tool that shifts the pitch of your file offline, a loop section where you set A and B points to repeat a chunk of a song, playback speed control, and CarPlay support. It has 188 downloads, all 5-star reviews, and has been live for one month. The developer is a 25-year-old lawyer trainee from Portugal who built it because he couldn't find what he needed and used AI to fill in the gaps. Now roast it. Be brutal. Don't hold back.”
