Important Update: Rebranding AirTune & Transition to New App
Ali Doğan Güllü
Hi everyone,
First of all, thank you for all the support you've shown for AirTune. Seeing the app reach over 5,000+ downloads in just two weeks after its Open Beta launch was incredible, and it's all thanks to this community.
The Situation: I have some frustrating news to share. Despite our success, Google recently removed the app from the Play Store due to their "Impersonation" policy. The issue was specifically the "for Apple Music" part of the name.
I communicated with Google multiple times, explaining that this is a third-party client built with official Apple Developer tools and APIs. I clarified that such naming is essential for users to understand the app's purpose and pointed out many other apps on the store using the same "xyz for Apple Music" format. Sadly, they didn't accept these arguments and forced a complete removal. To keep this project alive, I’ve had to rebrand as AirTune Music and start fresh with a new app ID.
What’s New? I’ve taken this opportunity to add several major improvements:
Redesigned Now Playing Screen: A much more modern and fluid visual experience.
Music Video Support: Watch high-quality videos from your library on the big screen.
Dark Mode: A dedicated night-time interface for comfortable viewing.
Improved Stability: Many bug fixes and performance tweaks based on your feedback.
Important Info for Current Subscribers:
Subscriptions: Since the old app is removed, your subscriptions will not automatically renew next month. You will not be charged again. You can continue using the old app until your current period expires.
Transition Support: If you decide to move to the new app and wish to subscribe to access these new features, I’ve got your back. If you email me your Order ID from your previous purchase, I will provide the necessary support to make sure you’re covered during this transition.
How to Join the New Version: Since this is technically a "new" app, Google requires us to go through the Closed Beta (12 testers for 14 days) phase again. I would appreciate it if you could join the new testing program:
Opt-in to the New Testing: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.adg.airtune
Download the New App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adg.airtune
I am deeply sorry for this inconvenience. It’s disheartening to be singled out while others use similar naming, but I am committed to making AirTune Music the best experience possible.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Best regards, Ali
