The best music apps for your phone — David Nield, June 2019

“Stezza scores points for an interface that’s a little different from the norm. Playback control buttons and album art are large and oversized… If that’s what you’re looking for, we’d recommend Stezza.”

Cult of Mac

Four apps that offer a better Apple Music experience — Ally Kazmucha, March 2016

“Stezza is meant to be quick, easy and accessible. If that’s all you’re after, look no further. Stezza is my player of choice when at the gym or while driving — anytime I quickly want to tab through songs or just do something simple, like enable shuffle.”

Cult of Mac highlighted Stezza’s “large buttons and a bold interface” and praised its one-handed usability for active scenarios.
