FluxTunes from Quokka Studios Pty Ltd has features that make the iPhone buttons totally useless. It’s time to throw the volume button on the iPhone into the trash can. 

You’ve guessed it right this time too. FluxTunes is a music application that replicates the functionality of the iPod on your iPhone. It plays music like any other music app in the App Store, however it does much more than all those applications. The whole song library in your iPhone is on your fingertips with FluxTunes. 

When I say ‘figertips’ I mean both literally and practically. When you open up FluxTunes, all the songs in your iPhone are auto loaded into the application. From there, you’ll just need to use your fingers to control your device. 

Here are the cool things that you do with FluxTunes:

1. Tap anywhere on the screen to pause/play the song. Without the application you’ll have to hit the small pause/play button on the iPod interface

2. Slide anywhere on the screen upward/downward with a finger to adjust the volume. Hmm, in the iPod interface, you can slide only on the volume bar 

3. Slide right to skip to the next song and slide left to go to the previous song

4. Load the entire library simply by sliding up the screen with two fingers

5. Slide down the screen with two finger to go to the iPod interface from the app

6. Slide down/up with four fingers to lock all the functionalities. Tap with four fingers to unlock

Phew! What do you say about all those features? Apple has been shamed again as the developer of FluxTunes has shown how the iPod can be a full fledge touch sensitive application. 

Utility: FluxTunes comes in handy when you are on the move like driving and jogging with your iPod touch/iPhone strapped to your arm or hip. You don’t even need to look at the screen to control the music. Keep your eyes on the road or path ahead and just tap and slide away on your device to select your favorite songs. You just need to remember the control schemes. 

That is FluxTunes in a nutshell. 

If you love music, you definitely would love the way FluxTunes has made things super simple.
