## What is BluePlayer?

Let BluePlayer be your go-to music/video player!

It helps you discover, play, organize, share free online music and video in a unique way. 

0. No account required, no subscription needed, no user data collected.

1. Unlimited skin color - you can keep the default or change to any color you like.

2. Video can always be visible when the app is in foreground so you never miss a single second watching. 

3. Audio will continue playing when the app is in background and locked screen so you never miss a single second listening.

4. Picture in Picture or Floating Window for multi-tasking (e.g., while browsing the web).

5. CarPlay-ready so you can easily access your music more safely.

6. AirPlay-ready and GoogleCast-ready for big screen or home theater (GoogleCast silently and play on iPhone with earphone at the same time so you do not disturb your partner at midnight:). Also GoogleCast video to big screen and Bluetooth sound to your mixer for karaoke.).

7. Siri-ready so you are in control even when your hands are not free, for example, skip to next song when you are cooking.

8. EQ-ready so you are in full control on how you want to hear the sound with the equalizer.

9. Shazam-ready so you can search and recognize any music around you.

10. Local file support - choose file on your phone (for example, in the Downloads folder) to play or add to playlist.

11. Tag videos/songs and search by tags. It is like playlist but more versatile, for example, 90s + rock - male will give you rock songs of 90s by female singer.

12. Loop play a selected section of a video/song, for example, when you want to learn a new basketball footwork.

13. Loop or shuffle selected videos/songs in a playlist, for example, your most liked 3 songs in an album..

14. Different playback speeds for various slow motion or fast motion (even with AirPlay!).

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-02-03*

This app is flat out amazing. Just wish the cache option worked so I could listen offline or transfer to files.🥲

**Developer response:** The source changed and offline is no longer works. There is nothing we can do.

### 2/5 — It's fine but don't make playlists with the expectation of keeping them

*2026-01-26*

I appreciate the playback and the different options. However it's really janky. I tried looking up a song to queue in my playlist and it deleted every other song in that playlist with no way to recover it. Just gone. Worked on it for days and days and days and days and it's gone because I made the mistake of not wanting to scroll forever to find it and assumed the search feature would be on my side.

So, overall, use it to look up really specific videos/songs you want to play because anything else and it'll fall apart and disrespect you. Don't trust it with playlists or anything that matters to you

**Developer response:** Hi, pleasefixitfixit

Can you give details what happened? You just deleted a playlist by accident? When deleting a playlist, there is a confirmation window. Only when confirmed, the playlist will be removed. If this is what happened, there is no way to get the playlist back. If you just delete one song in a playlist, other songs will not be affected.

Please let us know if this is the case.

Thank you,

The BluePlayer Team

### 4/5 — i swear i am normally nice

*2026-01-19, version 1.4.67*

but if your app falls apart because of ONE CLICK i cant give it more than one star. if your app DELETES my ENTIRE PLAYLIST with NO WAY TO RECOVER IT then i CANNOT in good conscience rate you anything higher than 1 star. fix it NOW and i will give better rating. FIX IT

i think a BASIC right is being able to delete one (1) exactly ONE song in a playlist and replace it with the intended version, WITHOUT deleting ALL 399 OTHER SONGS. A BASIC GODDAMN RIGHT. PLEASE

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-01-18, version 1.4.67*

I love the fact that I can adjust the presets to different music types and the fact that the app’s sound is louder than others like Youtube or Spotify, only complaint I have that if I delete Blueplayer then all the songs I collected goes away when I reinstall, but overall I think the app is wonderful and fits my needs really good music-wise!

### 3/5 — No sound at all

*2026-01-18, version 1.4.67*

There’s no sound.  How do I fix this?

### 1/5 — I can’t listen the musics

*2026-01-18, version 1.4.67*

The musics don’t want to play themselves and is just silence. Please fix the problem, it’s been three days that I can’t listen to the music.

### 1/5 — Terrible Garbage

*2026-01-17, version 1.4.67*

Do Not Get This App! Waste of time is a 30x worse version of musi and doesnt work half the time and audio is dogsh do not get this, get anything besides this sorry excuse for anything

### 2/5 — Issue

*2026-01-16, version 1.4.66*

My videos dont seem to playing for some reason and not just some but all of them dont play

### 5/5 — YouTube music

*2026-01-06, version 1.4.66*

Love it! But is it possible to fix this one issue? I try to play songs from YouTube music, when I close the app it stops sometimes, but if I try to do it again it works after a few tries.

### 5/5 — Active community, Rapid Development.

*2026-01-06*

(As of Jan 2026) Developers are still active and working hard to deliver customer satisfaction for the BluePlayer community across various social platforms. I'm not sponsored, just saying the facts.

This is the most promising video music player on the app store currently.
------------------
Question: i have autoplay off, but everytime I start the app, a 3-second track titled "September 25, 2025" plays. 

That same track plays every time I turn my phone screen off too. 

Also, that same track plays when I have my music paused for more than 5 seconds.

**Developer response:** Hi, 🍏Top 10 verified user

Do you have some video titled "September 25, 2025" somewhere in your playlists? Also try turn off "Play when app starts" in Auto Play.

If issue still there, maybe you want to try below: 1) record down your backup key; 2) remove the app; 3) restart your phone; 4) reinstall the app; 4) restore with your backup key. Note that your downloads will be lost and you have to download again.

Happy streaming!

From your description, it is from the banner ads from Google AdMob. According to Gemini, "Kochava and Google AdMob maintain a strategic partnership where Kochava serves as a certified App Attribution Partner (AAP) for Google's advertising ecosystem. " There is nothing to worry about as there is no login required for the app and Google/Kochava do not know the user's identity. Otherwise, Google should have already been sued.

If you do not like the it, you can subscribe to remove the banner. The subscription options are on the top in Settings. 

Thank you!

"contacts domains like Kochava"? The app should not do that. Can you share any screenshots? Was it when you use the Webview for SoundCloud or iHeartRadio? Please do share the evidence as this should not happen.

You can reach us via X/Instagram/Reddit/email channel for faster and better assistance.

Thank you!

The data storage should be reduced periodically (every 30 day) for the pictures. The battery is because of video downloading and rendering. Also it depends on the phone - older phones seem to drain battery faster.

//
There is a misconfiguration. It should be available in the latest version 1.4.65.

Please let us know if you still do not see it. 

You can reach us via X/Instagram/Reddit/email channel for faster and better assistance.

Thank you!

Thank you for using the app!

It is there in 1.4.30. Please let us know if you have any question.

Thanks!

You mean using one preset of EQ for all your songs? Currently it supports setting different presets for different songs and preserving the presets.

Please let us know if you need one-preset-for-all. We can do that.

You can reach us via our X/Instagram/Reddit/Emil channels (in Settings) should you have any question or suggestion.

Please recommend to your family and friends, if possible.

Happy listening and watching!
