iOS: Panamp replaces your iPhone's default music app with a smooth, gesture-based player with great search and queue features.

Apple has improved its "On the Go" playlist creation on iOS, but it still isn't easy for those of us that prefer dynamic queue-based music listening. Panamp is simple to use: you can browse your library as you would the normal iPod app, and start playing songs and albums right from the main library page. Everything is tree-based, so you don't have to switch between windows so often. If you want to add a song to the queue, you just swipe to the right. If you want to see more songs and albums by that artist, you just swipe to the left. It picks up everything form your existing iPod library, so you don't have to sync it separately or anything—just start it up. It even has full AirPlay and lock screen support.

Its main downsides are that it doesn't separate podcasts or audiobooks into their own sections, nor can you save the playlists you create with a dynamic queue (or create new ones, for that matter). However, as soon as you create something new in the default iPod app, Panamp will pick it up, so you still have that workaround. Altogether, it's pretty fantastic for a first release, and is already vying for my affection as "best music player" on the iPhone. Check out the video above for a demo.

Panamp is a $2.99 download for iOS only.
