Panamp
If you’re looking to buy an app for both an iOS- and music-addict, Panamp is worth a look. While the built-in music player in iOS is serviceable, it’s not great for actually managing your library and playlists. If the recipient of your generous gift of apps likes to create playlists on the go, Panamp makes that process ridiculous simple. Instead of tapping and selecting all the songs you want to add to your new playlist, Panamp lets you just swipe a song to quickly add it to your current queue. It also provides a number of excellent gestures to make navigating your music library faster and easier. It’s a favorite of our own Whitson Gordon, and as he puts it, “the gestures are win.” If you know someone who spends more time with their earbuds in rather than out, put Panamp on their gift list.
