I redesigned my app Back2Back to lean into the music discovery angle.

Create a DJ persona using GPT-5 in high thinking with web search tooling, or just use the default personas. GPT-5 uses the persona's style guide to make selections, another GPT-5 matches the selection to Apple Music, and a final GPT-5 validates the selection.

If you are the type of music fan that has been unimpressed by any AI DJ features, I urge you to give my app a try and give me feedback! I am passionate about music and have put a lot of work into getting the best results possible, but am always looking to improve the prompting.

Suggestion - don’t require the latest iOS26. A lot of people aren’t installing it as it’s not great. You’re missing out on a lot of users and unless you require a specific feature that only 26 has then it’s no necessary to mandate 26.

Suggestion 2 - don’t require iOS, period. A lot of people are on Android, as they feel iOS is not that great. You’re missing out on a lot of users and unless you require a specific feature that only Apple has then you should just make it a website/webapp instead of specifically targeting iOS.
