Crystal – iPad Music App Concept

Overview

Several iPad music apps exist on the market, but many – including Apple’s own – don’t take full advantage of the iPad’s screen.

Crystal was born from a desire to create an app that was specifically designed not only to fit the iPad’s screen, but as a showpiece for your music. Something with large interactive elements to make navigation a breeze, and large text that lets you see what’s playing from anywhere in the room. (Full disclosure: It was also designed years before Apple’s own Music app would adopt a similar background visual style!)

Crystal clear information and interaction with your music. That’s Crystal.

Now Playing

In Crystal, “Now Playing” is a first-class citizen, and the core of the app. All navigation takes place via popover menus, never taking you away from what’s playing.

For Everyone

Landscape mode is designed for maximum legibility in the “Now Playing” area,
and maximum usability by offering both left- and right-handed layous.
