My idea: - This app really should just be a minimal, fast, easy to use and local-first offline music player with no streaming features out of the box, and streaming features should be enabled via custom modules. The current setup is confusing and you cannot tell what sources are being used for streaming. Hopefully the developer embraces simplicity and stability in his future updates. ### 4/5 — Navidrome *2026-08-18* PLEASE add Navidrome support <3 ### 4/5 — some issues *2026-08-17* you can tell the app is basically brand new cos it has lots of glitches for example when playing some songs itll play a whole different one i played a song by michael jackson and it played a bossman dlow song when you press download while listening to a song by pressing the 3 dots it doesn’t actually download the song but other than that this is a favorable app - but then again it could be the module im using im not sure and on some songs the lyrics arent what the artists says long review ik sorry ### 5/5 — You’re Missing Out If You Don’t Have This *2026-07-10* Put Qobuz music quality, Apple Music UI, and connections to external apps similar to Spotify’s algorithm. You really get the best of everything for free ### 5/5 — A love letter to design and functionality *2026-07-09* I’ve been following this app since it was in early access on TestFlight and it was easy to dismiss it as another music app clone, but the software has matured so much to the point it can’t be distinguished from a genuine first party app. Props to the development team and hope to see more. ### 5/5 — very good app *2026-07-08* 100% recommend 😝 ### 5/5 — Recommend *2026-07-04* This is the best app , it’s ad free and better than 🍎 music ### 5/5 — Great app and support the dev *2026-06-26* I’ve been using it since it was in beta and it’s really good. It has a good ui and good features to play my music the way I like and using the modules (which are needed to play music iykwim) brings everything to the next level. I’m glad I’m able to listen to very high quality music without having to be tied to a subscription service with mediocre features like Spotify. The discord server is also great and very helpful whenever I have problems with the app ### 5/5 — Musikapp *2026-06-23* Beste app. Keine Werbung. Jedes Lied ### 4/5 — great! *2026-06-19* but i cant figure out how to add songs that arent downloaded on my phone. i scrolled through and started pressing random stuff but it says i dont have it so if i could know how to do that i would DEFINETLY make the switch **Developer response:** Use modules! ### 4/5 — Add album sorting *2026-06-14* Currently if you download a song the album of that song also gets added. please remove this feature and make albums section only contain albums that are added. another option is to add favourite albums. ### 5/5 — W *2026-06-13* Merci pour les travaux ### 5/5 — THE BEST APP EVER *2026-06-11* Screw Apple Music and Spotify this way better than them by farrrr ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — J’arrive pas *2026-07-22* Je n’arrive pas à écouter vous savez cmnt faire ? ### 1/5 — bug *2026-07-20* re corrigez vos bug s’il vous plaie il y en a énormément ça nous soule après d’utiliser l’appli comme la couverture du son qui disparaît et reviens jamais même si on refait la playlist ou qui change avec une autre couv d’un autre album. J’ai mis à jour et tout mes sons ont disparu et ne marchaient plus. C’est pas la première fois ### 1/5 — What’s the point? *2026-07-06* You can’t listen to any music, you have to import music files. Might as well use Apple Music or Spotify or even YouTube Music. ### 1/5 — Pls add online mode too *2026-05-24* The App at first wasn’t working for me but then I realize the problem I have to literally download each and every song like how can I do songs on there? I can’t keep downloading them all over and over again why can’t it just comes already like it is like how other online music apps be why can’t there be an option to play the music online so I can listen to it without trying to download it 24&7 ### 2/5 — Folder import *2026-05-18* Needs folder import to be useful to me. Plenty of other apps do it. Why overlook this feature? ### 3/5 — bug *2026-08-17* re corrigez vos bug s’il vous plaie il y en a énormément ça nous soule après d’utiliser l’appli comme la couverture du son qui disparaît et reviens jamais même si on refait la playlist ou qui change avec une autre couv d’un autre album. J’ai mis à jour et tout mes sons ont disparu et ne marchaient plus. C’est pas la première fois LES TÉLÉCHARGEMENT DE PLAYLIST SONT SUPER LONG !! ### 3/5 — Bug-riddled but has potential *2026-07-01* In its current state, the app has too many bugs and oddly-handled systems to be a main streaming service, at least for me. However, it shows a lot of promise and with time could definitely be one of if not the best streaming services out there, especially if it stays ad-free and free of subscriptions. ### 3/5 — Download button not working *2026-06-30* I tried downloading music but it doesn’t not work at all. This app has a lot of potential to be a great app just needs some tweaks done to it. ### 3/5 — bug *2026-06-29* re corrigez vos bug s’il vous plaie il y en a énormément ça nous soule après d’utiliser l’appli ### 3/5 — No CarPlay *2026-06-07* Please support CarPlay ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — amazing app *2026-08-15* Very clean Ui, add an option where you can download songs from inside the app, you can like connect music rippers like lucida or something otherwise very good app. ### 5/5 — Amazing for the price *2026-08-15* People leaving bad ratings should just go pay for Spotify or Apple Music. ### 5/5 — LOOOOOOOVEEE IT *2026-08-14* I love the customization tool sm!! I made everything pink and whimsy lol Developers are awesome asf <3 ### 5/5 — BEST MUSIC APP IN THE APPSTORE *2026-08-10* it only needs a few bug fixes, as it's a bit laggy and makes the processor work more ### 5/5 — THE BEST MUSIC APP EVER *2026-08-08* i currently obsessed with this app and its features, i love the ui and everything, its just way too good for a music app and i'm astonished. also for those wondering why music doesn't work or those struggling trying to download songs and stuff, you have to get modules to do that stuff so just search it up 8spine modules on the web and you should find it. ### 5/5 — Peak *2026-07-31* Peak music player to play peak music and its so peak that theres no ads and i dont gotta pay 🥹🥹🥹🥹 ### 5/5 — Pointless *2026-07-15* I don’t what’s the point of making an app and can’t stream music online **Developer response:** The app is simply not for you. ### 5/5 — Amazing Music App *2026-07-11* Such an amazing app, free and easy to use.
