Not worth even if free
Very bad player and also support link not working neither website want my refund
Doesn’t stream local music but plays music iTunes/Music won’t play
If you have a full MQA DAC or you stream Tidal or Qbuz it is useful.
If you have MQA, DSD the free version will at least play the music.
The free version has useful EQ presets.
It plays FLAC easily so purchased files from non-Apple stores will play.
Their site says that it will STREAM local files; IT DOESN’T. Their help pages show copying music to the application on the iPad.
Use VLC to stream from a local wireless hub or a connected wireless drive. It’s not elegant but it works better for the music that it can play or decode which is MOST file types. VLC will change the sample rate for HD music.
Amara Play is easier to use than Apple Music, iTunes but you need disk space to store the music. It will change the DAC’s sample rate to match the music which Apple doesn’t.
The playback controls are unresponsive. It feels like it is crashing.
It will play MQA without the purchase but at CD quality and it takes forever to translate it.
It will play DSD but it converts it to PCM very, very slowly.
If you have FLAC music and don’t want to convert it and then move it iTunes Music this is convenient.
If you want to play music from an external drive or networked drive then go elsewhere. VLC or the Stratospherix apps are worth looking over.

Waiting for a NEW revised Software update
Sonic Studio are slow to update and keep abreast of changes to streaming platforms; point in case being Tidal who’ve dropped MQA in favour of FLAC. The TIDAL native app supports 48k 24bit decode of content and higher but it appears Amarra play does not which is disappointing. Please keep your subscribers informed and at least provide a timeline for updates.

Adjusting volume on AP causes AL to crash!
Either AP and/or AL needs fixes!
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.
