OnCue is a unique and innovative music player built to harness the power of iOS to deliver the best music-listening experience on mobile devices.

Everything centers around your Queue, a live playlist that you can build, shuffle, and rearrange while your music is playing.

OnCue is also a powerful tool for professional live performers, used every day by motivational speakers, radio hosts, musicians, and professional DJs.

★ iCloud syncing
Save your queues and your Smart Queues to iCloud to access them from both your iPhone and iPad. And sync your current queue to iCloud, so it's always identical across your devices, down to the now playing song's elapsed time.

★ Drag and Drop Simplicity
The easiest way to build and rearrange a music queue on the iPhone and iPad. Just grab any song's drag handle, or tap and hold on any album, artist, or playlist, to drag it right into and around your queue.

★ Everything, right where you need it
See what's in your Queue, and where. See what's already played. See what's playing now, and control the player. See and access everything you need from anywhere in the app.

★ A Smart way to play
Introducing Smart Queues. Create re-usable filters to queue up songs using a list of rules. Use rules to find songs by title, artist, album, genre, rating, duration, and last played date. It's the ease and functionality of iTunes' Smart Playlists right on your iPhone or iPad.

★ Advanced Crossfade
Enable crossfade for gapless playback and smooth transitions between playing songs. You can even customize the "fade in from" and "fade out to" volumes so your music plays just the way you want.

★ Get informed
Swipe any song in your library and tap the Info button to see the song's Lyrics, Music Videos, Artist Bio, and Similar Artists. Even preview the song before you add it to your Queue.

★ Always know what's next
Wherever you are in OnCue, your Queue is just a swipe away--so you always know what's next.
★ OnCue even displays the next four songs right on your Lock Screen. ★

OnCue has everything you'd expect from a modern music player, and a ton more:
◆ Social networking features, including Last.fm scrobbling and customized posts to Facebook and Twitter
◆ Song scrubbing
◆ Search
◆ Shuffle
◆ Sleep timer
◆ AirPlay support
◆ Gesture control

(Note: OnCue 6 requires iOS6. Also, because OnCue uses its own audio processor for queueing and crossfading, songs stored in the iTunes Match cloud cannot be played.)
