Hi Product Hunt! 👋
My mom (72) got her first iPhone around christmas. She’d never used a smartphone before, but thanks to iOS Assistive Access, she got comfortable with it surprisingly quickly.
Music was the one thing that didn’t work. Apple Music supports Assistive Access, but in that mode it only plays Apple’s pre-curated playlists. My mom wanted to browse artists and albums herself, just like she’s used to from her CD shelf.
So I built Music for Seniors: an Apple Music player designed for older adults and people with cognitive impairments. It shows your existing Apple Music library with big, calm, forgiving controls and nothing else.
It’s the app I wish had existed when I went looking, and one you can install on your parents’ or grandparents’ phones with complete peace of mind. 😊
I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve helped a parent or grandparent get set up with a smartphone. What worked, what didn’t? I want to keep building apps tailored to seniors’ needs, and your experiences would genuinely help shape what comes next.
Martin
PS: A positive rating from you on the App Store would support my work. I don’t ask for ratings within the app itself, as I’d find that intrusive and unsuitable for its audience.
