NowPlaying, a Cydia tweak that displays Track title & Artist name on Status Bar

Updated on September 1, 2017

If you had ever wished to know which song you are currently listening to? or feeling bit lazy to jump to the music app & check what’s playing now? Then here is a simple tweak called “NowPlaying”, that displays the track title and artist name on Status Bar. Once installed, the tweak will periodically change the status bar clock with the name & artist details of the song which is currently playing. Interestingly NowPlaying can also work with third party streaming apps.

But what I feel limited with the tweak is, it works only with third party app that have ability to provide the track information to the Lock screen and some apps doesn’t work at all with NowPlaying. For e.g., 8tracks is one the app that is capable of displaying the track information on the lock screen, but unfortunately it doesn’t work with the tweak.

With the above limitation in mind, you can tryout NowPlaying for free in the Cydia’s BigBoss repo.
