Perfect for My FLAC Library
There are so few non-subscription offline music apps in the App Store, which tells me that their creators didn’t remotely understand the point of tediously gathering a whole music collection. The whole point is that you buy something and then it’s yours and you don’t have to pay a stupid monthly or yearly fee to retain access to it. The creator of this app seems to of understood that very well. The interface is beautiful and it works very well. I love the way that album artwork is displayed, and the FTP transfer option made moving my music collection from my computer to my phone a breeze. My only complaint would be that it doesn’t seem to have any iPad version of the app, which is a shame because the iOS app is really good!

Great app, but there’s an issue
Let me start this off by saying this is hands down the best local file player I’ve used. I’ve gone through a lot of them trying to find something that would work right, and not only is Decoupled functional, but it works exactly how I need it to…
Except for one issue. When I have an album where the tracks have varying bitrates (I.e. Death Grips EP), the individual tracks are split up into separate albums by bitrate. Since they all have the same album metadata, they should all show up together on the same album. Instead, they are separated and out of order, making me unable to listen to the albums in full.
If the developer could fix this one issue where no matter the bitrate, all songs would be on the same, correct album, this app would be perfect!

Response from developer
Hm, audio bitrate/format doesn't factor into splitting the songs into separate albums, so there must be some difference between the offending files' metadata. Look for e.g. different or missing release date in some files vs others, etc.
Nice but need a big upgrade
The app is really awesome
But please make a good delete icon and make sharing files possible
I really like the app and the ui

Excelllent
This is a very nice music player that has replaced Apple Music for my uses. I transferred more than 10gb of FLAC files via iTunes file transfer on an old Mac and was very quickly up and running. Very clean simple and functional design and it’s free! Awesome app.
More or less perfect
This app is the perfect simple music player. No frills, just the basics in a simple, streamlined interface. The only thing missing is shuffle.
Desperately needs shuffle and playlists
Amazing app that would be perfect with the above features
No Art. No Sorting. No Settings
(iPhone 11 Pro/iOS 15.6.1) This app literally has no settings. No options to sort, hide or order things like albums, artists, genre. Files embedded with cover art and/or with the image file in the same folder do not appear. UI is drab and boring. I think app developers should be paid for their work, but I think developers that make apps like this when they lack less features, or offer nothing significantly different than the stock app should be explicitly forthcoming in the description about what their app doesn’t do as much as what it does. I mean, it plays files the stock app won’t. This is literally all the app is capable of on my phone.

Great app but no last.fm!
This app is seriously awesome for those like me who have a TON of CD’s and love listening to music locally but I wish it had the capability to scrobble to last.fm! Other than that amazing
Still nothing better for FLACs
I’ve been using Decoupled daily for about three months. Now and then I’ll search for an app that better suits me; I’ve found nothing yet.
The one issue that I’d like the developer to resolve is the apparent limit on the cover flow view: it seems that it’s limited to about 100 covers. This is a minor point, as all tracks are available from other views. But I’d still really like to see all of my albums in the cover flow view.

Closest thing to an actual music player on iOS
It’s so frustrating to find a real music player on iOS that doesn’t force streaming or useless things. This is an amazing app, but I hope the developers add playlists artist image, shuffle and repeat buttons, and more customization options for the user.
