Best iOS Music Player Money Can Buy
Response from developer
Thank you for the amazing review! We’re really glad you appreciate the feature set, flexibility, design, visualizers, and skins. ReplayGain loudness normalization is a great suggestion and we already have it on our list to evaluate. Cover Flow is also something we may consider later as we continue improving the library and visual experience. Thanks for supporting Anywhere and for sharing such detailed feedback.
Has Tons of Potential, Performance Hitches
Response from developer
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for noticing the design, EQ, and import flow. We’re really glad the app feels intuitive and comfortable to use. Performance improvements are a big focus for us right now, especially around switching between Library and Player screens. We’ll keep optimizing this in upcoming updates. If you can, please contact us via Settings -> Report a Bug and share any details about when the hitch happens most often. That would help us investigate it faster!
Best offline music app.
Apple Watch
Bitte nachbessern!
Nachtrag zum 10.12.25 :
Auch mit dem gestrigen Update hat sich auf der Apple Watch NICHTS getan. Die Aufforderung, die Uhr oder das Handy neu zu starten kommt nach wie vor!!! Daher bleibt mir nur noch das löschen übrig.
Anmerkung 27.12.25:
Der Player ist ja auch völlig in Ordnung, da gibt es nix dran auszusetzen. Ich hatte mir die App gekauft, da ich dachte, das das Zusammenspiel mit der Watch klappt. Klar hat Apple gewisse Restriktionen, aber bei „Anytune“, was zwar nicht so übersichtlich ist, klappt es reibungslos.
Update zu 15.5.26:
Player noch mal runtergeladen. Jetzt funktioniert die Bedienung auch auf der Apple-Watch reibungslos !!! Ich hoffe das es so bleibt und der Player sinnvoll weiter entwickelt wird. Von mir jetzt alle 5*👍

Thanks so much for the great review! We’re glad the app checks all the boxes for your offline music needs. Happy to hear you appreciate the clean layout and one-time purchase option. Enjoy your music! ❤️❤️❤️
Playlist song order not working
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. The playlist order should save correctly, but the playlist sorting must first be set to Manual. Otherwise, the selected sorting mode will automatically rearrange the songs after you save. Please set the playlist sorting to Manual, then reorder the tracks again. You do not need to change any metadata. If the order still resets, please contact us via Settings -> Report a Bug and include a short screen recording so we can check exactly what is happening and help you.

One Time Purchase, Imports iTunes
Other Issues:
Imports playlists and albums successfully, caveat is you must rename the playlists presently. Imports music folders/files successfully. Zip files I wish auto-converted into folders with a tap when I am browsing for a song folder I just downloaded as a zip file from Bandcamp (legally purchased). Doesn’t work with Homepod, Homepod will kick the song off the speakers after about a minute. Sometimes won’t update the art of what song is playing, showing the art for a previous song instead. Does not loop individual tracks as smoothly as iTunes, possibly due to lack of iTunes’ integrated blending of tracks via transitions. Often has issue when adding individual or multiple songs where it won’t let me select them or won’t add them even when it says they are selected, forcing me to try multiple times until it arbitrarily works. Frequently freezes after editing a playlist forcing me to close and reopen the app. Will randomly invert playlists, has a button to invert them back but still annoying. Won’t play a 2-second audio file to completion, cuts it off 1 second early 100% of the time in normal use.
Verdict:
Looks really good, feels like a premium app. The developer should feel really good about their self. All the other app makers need to figure out it’s lifetime ad-free or nothing for playing purchased music.
Response from developer
Thank you for updating your review and for taking the time to describe everything in detail. We really appreciate both the praise and the specific technical feedback. Several of the issues you mentioned, especially: • songs not reliably adding to playlists • selection not working consistently • freezes after editing playlists • random playlist inversion • short audio file cutting off early are not expected behavior and should not be happening consistently. We need to investigate this properly because this sounds device or library specific. Please contact us directly via Settings -> Report a Bug and include: • whether these tracks are from Apple Music or local files • approximate number of songs in your library • if possible, one short sample file that cuts off early About HomePod: once audio is routed to HomePod, playback is handled by iOS, not by our internal audio engine. We are aware that HomePod routing can behave inconsistently across apps, but we’ll still review it. ZIP auto extraction and smoother single track looping are valid suggestions. We’ll review both. Your verdict means a lot to us. You clearly understand what we’re trying to build, and that’s exactly the direction we’re going. Let’s fix the technical issues properly. Please report via Settings -> Report a Bug so we can resolve this.
App crashes excessively
Response from developer
Please make sure you’ve updated to the latest version, as we recently fixed several stability issues. We have just released a new version of the app. Please update it using the link below. We hope this update fixes the issue you were experiencing. For the fastest help, please contact us directly via Settings -> Report a Bug or email us at support@offlinemusicplayer.app with your device model and iOS version. That allows us to investigate properly instead of guessing from a review. We’re constantly improving stability, and once this is resolved, we hope you’ll consider updating your rating. ❤️

Bugs - iPhone XS, iOS - 18.7.3
I’m unable to see the music player on my Lock Screen, which I previously used to play or pause music. The phone doesn’t seem to recognize Anywhere Player as a media player. When I start playing music on Apple Music while something is already playing on Anywhere Player, the original audio doesn’t stop—both apps play simultaneously.
Additionally, music played through Anywhere Player isn’t recognized in the Control Center. I use AirPods Pro (2nd generation), and pressing the stem to pause doesn’t work. Spatial Audio is also disabled for Anywhere Player, even though it worked earlier.
Response from developer
All of this behavior is caused by one single option: Settings -> Audio Player -> Mix Audio When Mix Audio is enabled, the system treats Anywhere as a “background sound source”, not as the main media player. Because of that: • The player is not shown on the Lock Screen • It does not appear in Control Center or Dynamic Island • Apple Music and Anywhere can play at the same time • AirPods stem controls are disabled • Spatial Audio is unavailable This is exactly what the warning under that switch describes. Turn Mix Audio off and Anywhere will behave like a normal system media player again: it will appear on the Lock Screen, Control Center, AirPods controls will work, other players will stop automatically, and Spatial Audio will be available. This option exists for people who intentionally want to play music on top of other apps or games. In your case it’s simply enabled by mistake. We hope you update your review.
