Excellent
Would love to be able to create playlists. But apart from that it’s great.
Great app room for features
Hey mate this app is really great I appreciate the work put into it and not having ads or IAP is great. Is it open source?
Anyway if you added a shuffle and playlist feature that would be fantastic

Impressive app
Great app for those who want a standalone music player. Doesn’t crash, straightforward and good looking UI.
Unlike many others it seems to use its own playback mechanism rather than piggy backing on Apple, which means that when Apple breaks gapless playback (which they have done regularly!) this still works. If that’s important to you too then worth trying this.
Couple of little niggles:
- My compilation albums which have different years or publishers of different tracks were strangely split out into different albums which was annoying and meant I had to retag
- No CarPlay support so I have to have the whole music library on my phone twice, once for this app and once in the normal way to access in the car.
But overall really impressive.

Response from developer
Yes, songs within an album cannot have different date tags, or publishers, catalog numbers, etc. This is necessary, otherwise different releases of the same album would be merged together (e.g. consider how many albums have a regular EU/US version, and a Japanese version with bonus tracks). I would recommend putting the songs' original release date, and original publisher metadata in a different tag, and keeping the release date and publisher fields solely for the current album's values.
Almost Perfect!
I really wanted to give this app 5 stars as it is far superior than the stock music app with all of its bloat and force feeding of new content.. but this app lacks a few key features that I just can’t live without! If repeat, shuffle, and playlist can make it on the app I will come back and give this 5 stars! It would be a shame to stop just short of perfection!

I love the app but I hope it gets updated soon
I love this app but there's a few bug such as even though it's paused it will stay play music or the pause button doesn't update and the album cover doesn't show if the file is m4a (unless I make a folder and add the album cover separately). I hope in the future webm audio and wav 32bit float gets added then this app will be perfect. Please update this app it's the best audio player available right now.

Incredible, esp for a free app
The design and use of this app is so damn easy. Supports flac, looks great, works fab. And EQ options!
Would love to see playlist functionality and shuffle added, but damn, this thing is free; I’m just being greedy.

Amazing app
Thanks so much for the developer for making a great music app that is privacy focuses
Tamas Zahola is a hero!
This isn’t an app for everyone. But if you are one of the people it appeals to, you will see it instantly. This app lets you play your audio files (in a variety of formats) stored locally on your device. It’s a simple premise, but so many apps would bungle the experience by pestering you to sign up for their streaming service, serving you up advertisements constantly, etc. On top of that the app is free and it doesn’t track any user data. I poked around online and saw that Tamas didn’t want to monetize the app, that he would just be happy to see it get used. Beautiful.
There’s a level of power user that will demand a finer level of control over their library that may need to look elsewhere, but if you just have a basic library structure, I found the experience to be very user-friendly. Decoupled is now my favorite app on my phone.

Thank you, and keep using the app!
Great app but it needs more features!
This app is great, it does exactly what it advertises, and collects no data. However, it lacks modern options like custom playlists, and shuffle. Also, while it is straightforward to share music to the app, it would be nice to have an option within the app to add local files without switching back and forth between safari. Other than that, it is an amazing app, just with some wasted possibilities.

Response from developer
It is possible to add local files via the built-in Files app on your phone. Decoupled will show up as a top level "special" folder, which you can drop files into, and will appear in the app. The only caveat is that you might need to manual trigger a library scan (with the refresh button in the top left corner), because iOS provides no convenient (and performant) way to monitor the file system for changes :)
Work in Progress?
I wanted to see if this will have an more updates or if this project is discontinued.
I am going from alternatives and this is GREAT!!
I would love to support this application anyway I can. Please let me know how.
I am coming from Foobar2000.
