  • Terrible

    Doesn’t do anything and has the worst EQ I have seen my entire and I have seen a lot of EQs as a professional music producer.

    What makes matters worse is that Apple refuses to issue a refund by saying “not eligible for a refund”. In other words, we’re only interested in the commission we received and we do not care about the paying customers that get ripped of by this garbage app. Don’t waste your money.

  • Abandonware?

    The app hasn’t been updated in over a year. The developer seems to have left it behind. It doesn’t seem to work properly on updated iOS anymore. A shame since I could have used a functional eq on Tidal.
  • Remote app doesn’t pair

    Used to work now never does and support was unhelpful. Way over priced for a non working remote.
  • Great sound using external DAC

    There are very few alternatives to using the Tidal app (for streaming Tidal) so thanks for being one of them. Great sound quality using with my external DAC. But navigating Tidal could be updated. Thanks
  • Doesn’t work on iPhone 15

    Used to work on older iPhones but quit working on my iPhone 15. Opens when there are no songs in the Amarra folder (fule fokder). When I copy and paste songs into the Amarra file folder, the app doesn’t open.
  • This Is Actually The Go To!

    So I gave it five stars because for iPhone it is actually the only app with maybe one exception that has an equalizer that is spot on. With that said I will say to the developers, please allow the ability to add more equalizer settings from the options offered on the MacBook Pro version. I want to be able to swap out one from the phone and replace it with those on the Mac. Make that possible and you will have the absolute best equalizer app available.

  • Doesn’t work. No support link.

    Loaded up a bunch of files on my phone. The app opens and immediately crashes. The support link in the app store is bad.
  • Please update the app!!!

    It used to work great with my mqa files but after the most recent update everything loads super slowly. it takes a couple seconds to just even load a song before it was instant. 🙁
  • Just adequate

    Bought this to patch the deficiency of the Onkyo HF player which can’t currently handle MQA files. As such Amarra Play works fine in this respect but certainly doesn’t look as polished (in fact it looks darn right amateur) and it’s handling of album art is abyssmal. Most of the albums currently within the app do not display the album art despite it being embedded or as an accompanying file. Sound handling is decent but it lacks a polished appearance.
    UPDATE after two months - album art can easily corrupt and disappear.
    Cannot successfully play gapless tracks. Apparently this is a long standing issue going back years and they still haven’t fixed it. I am therefore downgrading to one star. For all but basic playback of hi-res audio files I cannot recommend this app.

  • Amarra Play with Tidal useless

    Purchased the Tidal add on for Amarra Play and it does not work. Amarra crashes on my MacBook any time I try to use AP Tidal with my iphone and ipad. Opened a ticket with developer and they provided no working solution. Do not recommend purchasing Tidal add on.

    Developer Response

    The TIDAL add on for Amarra Play is working fine in both stand-alone mode and when paired with Amarra Luxe. Make sure when paired with Amarra Luxe that you are using Amarra Play as remote control for what's in your Amarra Luxe library. Please contact support@sonicstudio.com for more assistance.
