Common questions

• Pocket Stereo isn't showing my music. Pocket Stereo needs Media & Apple Music access to read your library. Check Settings › Pocket Stereo on your iPhone, or Settings › Privacy & Security › Media & Apple Music. If access is on and the library still looks short, open Settings › Library inside Pocket Stereo — it may be filtered to just Apple Music or just Local Files, and it reports how many songs it found from each.
• Some Apple Music songs are missing. Tracks that can't actually be played are hidden rather than shown as dead ends. That usually means catalog content without an active Apple Music subscription. When a whole list is empty for that reason, Pocket Stereo says so instead of showing you a blank screen. Music you've downloaded or synced to the device still plays.
• Do I need an Apple Music subscription? No. Pocket Stereo plays the music already on your iPhone — downloaded, synced, or purchased. A subscription only adds streaming from the Apple Music catalog. Playback and focus mode are never behind Pocket Stereo's own paid unlock either.
• Can I change the app icon? No — Pocket Stereo has one icon and keeps it. Themes restyle the player itself, but the home-screen icon stays put, so the app always looks the same where you go to find it.
• I bought Pocket Stereo Pro on another device — how do I restore it? Open Settings › Unlock Pocket Stereo Pro and choose Restore Purchase. Make sure you're signed into the same Apple ID used for the original purchase. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
• The wheel isn't scrolling. The platter scrolls by dragging around it, like spinning a record — a tap on the platter won't move the selection. Tap the label at the centre to choose the highlighted item.
