About Deck-Man
Deck-Man, from Squircle Apps, is a music player made to look and sound like a portable cassette player, with mechanical clicks and tape sounds. Your albums become cassettes. It costs $4.99, with no ads, subscription or in-app purchases.
Apple named it in its October 22 roundup as one of the independent apps that “make the fold part of the fun”: open the phone to pick an album and insert the tape, then close it to start listening, with music from Apple Music.
