AirPlayer+ 1.2.0.0
However, in order to have a really pleasant experience when handling the audio files, sometimes you must go and seek something else than what is being offered to you by default in terms of apps.
Thus, any Windows Phone owner who wants to try a dedicated solution that can handle all their music even better than the application built-in their handset can give a go to AirPlayer+.
Nice looking, customizable and practical GUI
The appearance of this utility is well above average, as it features some neat graphics, including different album art images and an interface than can be personalized with ease.
For both left and right side panels you can pick a different image stored onto your phone or use one of the pics the app comes with. The general theme of the application can also be subject to modification, either using one of the color schemes provided by AirPlayer+ or by creating one of your own.
The advertisements that are shown inside the main screen come in the form of some ad banners that are displayed in the lower side of the cover art section. Also, after a few runs, some prompts to rate the app will come into view.
Clear-cut playback controls and playlist support
With the help of AirPlayer+ you will be able to organize all your songs into different lists, according to your preferences. These playlists can then be accessed from the dedicated area, but you cannot edit them once they are created, the only supported operation being their individual removal.
In terms of commands for controlling the playback, the application features the usual play/pause, forward, back buttons, but there are also repeat and shuffle functions that will come in quite handy.
Extra features at a glance
The utility is equipped with a most useful timer option that you can set anywhere from 1 to 120 minutes and have the music stop automatically when the time runs out. Another related function is the "Turn off music" switch that when activated will make the playback stop when you exit the app.
Adding a shortcut to the Start screen to have a stop and play button at your fingertips without having to open AirPlayer+ to carry out these operations is also possible.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The cool aspect and numerous customization possibilities offered by this app earn it a lot of points and the only drawbacks are the ads and prompts. |
Function9
Very well equipped for most music playing operations, AirPlayer+ only needs playlist editing abilities to score top marks. |
Security9
Fairly discreet, safe to install and use, this utility still peeks in the phone identity area for some reason unrelated to its functionality. |
Battery6
The substantial power consumption of this application limits the hours of music playback on the mobile device. |
Price10
Despite the minor nuisance caused by the ads and prompts, AirPlayer+ has a very good value overall as it brings plenty of features in a nice looking package. |
Compatibility8
Only the more recent handsets on the market that are powered by Windows Phone 8 and above support having this app installed. |
