Now Playing Plus provides corner and circular complications for your Apple Watch face.
This gives you easy access to audio controls, without needed to hunt around in the App List or Dock.

App never showed up as a complication

I followed support directions about deleting the app from the watch, turning phone and watch off and restarting. Now the app doesn’t show up at all on the Watch and I can’t re-download it.
No frills

This app does just what I wanted with absolutely no hullabaloo so I can't complain. I'd love to see the option to see what's playing on the complication, or remove the text altogether and have only the icon. Better yet, custom icons would be killer. I'd happily pay a few dollars for those features.
Missing AirPlay & Volume Control

This app would be better if it just launched the stock Now Playing app.
As it stands, it works okay but is missing functionality - namely AirPlay controls and adjusting volume. (The volume sorta works, but doesn’t use the crown’s haptics and doesn’t always adjust volume properly.)
Hacky but useful

The functionality is clearly limited in part by apple’s restrictions and fragmentation, but it’s still a useful add for three reasons:
1. It lets me jump to now playing for any app I listen from (I use a few) from any watch face
2. It “remembers” what I was playing far longer than the built in now playing feature. It’s crazy that if I pause audio for a few minutes my phone and watch make me go back into the audio app to restart, npp remembers.
3. Apple Watch apps for some audio players (overcast, castro) don’t work great, npp always works
My only request would be to add the track name of whatever’s playing to the complication

I used this on my Apple Watch 6 for a year and loved it. But when I upgraded to an Apple Watch Ultra it disappeared! There is now way to find and add it to my new watch
Update: developer show me what I was doing wrong. Back to using and loving this app.
Scam do not download

This app does not do anything and does not allow you to uninstall. App Store shows the app as purchased but this app does not show up on my Apple Watch, in my apps, or even in purchased from the App Store. This app does not do anything.
Very messy app . Needs major updates

Messes with quick action. After this was installed the “double pinch” action was not working properly . After uninstall it started working again.
After uninstalling , it is still not completely removed from your watch , as other reviews have mentioned.
Do better
Wish it did more

Found this while looking for a corner complication that showed what was playing. This certainly does, if you click it. But it isn’t live on the watch face, it just shows the app name. So does Spotify. Was hoping for a little more.
I'm back to loving this app

Thank you developers for reaching out to me about the workaround if I already downloaded the app to my watch! I'm so glad to have this awesome back in my complications list!
Redundant

The only way this app would be useful would be if it became the first non apple music complication to actually show the name of the song playing on the watch face. Otherwise it's nothing more than an unnecessary splash page and icon on your watch face. Surely this is possible to make better?
