Our app
The wheel is back, on your phone.
Open beta · iPhone
Try Stonepod on your iPhone before it’s out.
A 3D music player: turn the wheel with your finger, feel every click and find the menus and album art you remember. It connects to your iPod too.
Try the iPhone beta on TestFlight
This is a test version, for iPhones with iOS 17 or later: each version lasts 90 days and beta places are limited.
Is it safe? Yes. TestFlight is Apple’s own service for trying apps before they come out: the app is checked by Apple, we see neither your Apple ID nor your email (only what you choose to send us), it’s free and you can remove it whenever you like, like any other app.
Games from the old handheld consoles, from your own .gb, .gbc and .gba files, played with the wheel or full screen.
On Android with the next update
Connect the iPod and tidy its library from your phone: playlists, the iPod’s name, songs to remove.
The music on the connected iPod plays from your phone, through its speakers or your Bluetooth headphones.
Put songs on the iPod from your phone and keep a copy of the iPod’s music on your phone.
On iPhone: songs you pick in the Files app
With Android Auto and CarPlay you browse and play the connected iPod’s music in the car, alongside radio and podcasts.
Eleven colours or a design of your own: colours, finishes, patterns, stickers and your photos on the front, your engraving on the back. The screen changes too: dark or light, in the colours of the album art, pixelated like an old display, and for Halloween and Christmas. Badges unlock new colours and patterns.
The second player, a clamshell: open, you get the screen and the wheel; closed, the small outer display shows the time and what’s playing, with keys to skip back and forward.
On Android with the next update
Your phone’s music in alphabetical order, your own music server (Navidrome or Subsonic), radio stations from all over the world and podcasts that resume where you left off. Apple Music on iPhone, music videos by decade and genre on Android.
With its cable and an adapter your iPod opens in the app: see music, photos and videos, back up the library and add or remove songs. Works with iPod 3G and 4G, mini, photo, nano, video and classic (not shuffle or touch).
On Android the Stonepod also runs games from the old handheld consoles: open your own .gb, .gbc and .gba files and play with the wheel, or full screen with the phone turned sideways. Save and pick up your game whenever you like. A few free games are included; there are no commercial games in the app.
On Android with the next update
Your listening in numbers, ready to share, and badges to earn. Plus an equaliser, an alarm, a sleep timer and games you play with the wheel. In the car with Android Auto and CarPlay, like a car radio with your favourite stations; on iPhone, Apple Watch and widgets too.
Car radio on Android: with the next update
