Random crashes
App randomly stops working. For a paid app, that is completely unacceptable. Don’t waste your money on this trash.
Amazing player
Wanted a good mp3 player because I needed switch over after Spotify kept raising its prices, this player flows really good with the rest of my apps and I love the widget too!
Really good overall but still missing some basic features
I’ve been truly enjoying the app but I’d love to be able to see the format/bitrate of the songs being played.
Doesn’t work with large collections
Bought Doppler to play my collection of 20k+ folder-categorized songs. Cannot properly load the library no matter how many times I try. Needs a file management system.
Library “empty,” unresponsive support
Tried to add albums by WiFi. My browser indicated that it had worked. The app now has 1.7GB of documents, according to my phone’s system info, but the app still says I have nothing in my library! I e-mailed tech support, as the app recommended, and I got an autoreply, but over a week has passed and nobody’s gotten back to me.

Issues and no help
I reached out to customer service via email a long time ago about an issue and have received zero help. The app worked for a long time, but I had to delete music for storage space and it hasn’t been the same since. When I transfer music over WiFi (which I have to do since my port is broken), it all successfully transfers… but is completely inaccessible to me. Nothing shows up in my library, even though the app shows X amount of gigs taking up space. I wouldn’t be so bothered if not for the fact that I paid for this app.
Happy to update my review if someone will just help me fix this.

App
Wish it was free
trash
i am so tired of every app presenting itself as free download but no, surprise, it’s a trial! you have to pay for this! like i can just use my files app at this point
Crashes in CarPlay
As others have noted, while it’s a great player, it is not very usable in CarPlay because it crashes when the car starts moving from a stop.
Doesn’t work
I transferred songs from my pc to iphone using transfer over wi-fi feature, doppler shows all the songs downloaded, but then I cannot find those downloaded songs anywhere in the doppler app. I tried again and again, but no success. Even chatgpt couldn’t help.
Still the best music app for local files.
Doppler is feature-rich and beautifully designed, plus it has CarPlay support.
It's still the best music app on iOS if you have your own library or a mix of music on-device and via Apple Music.

Want to like, but has some issues
Pasting from my notes:
No gapless playback
Can’t index directory, must manually import new stuff
Playback glitches sometimes
Apple tv airplay doesn’t play past single song
Can’t zoom album art
Doesn’t preview audio while scrubbing
Lack of gapless playback is probably my one dealbreaker though actually.

Awesome
I’m old school and I like to own the music so I have a lot of CDs and digital files. I don’t like subscriptions and streaming this is the app for me. I have imported everything into the Music app. But it’s very buggy and it doesn’t read the metadata correctly. This app imported everything flawlessly in about 10 and read it all perfectly, including my playlist which I wasn’t expecting. I had it for five minutes before I decided I’m buying it. I can’t believe how cheap it is. I just wanted an app that will play music without a lot of hassle. It’s a pretty good deal! Thank you to the developers!

great app almost perfect
it's a really good app but I wish there was an option for dark mode to be pitch black instead of gray
also would love to have custom playlist covers

Breath of fresh air (with a small “But…”)
I switched to Doppler recently after finally getting sick of Apple’s relentless spruiking of Apple Music. Doppler is a giant breath of fresh air! Adding music from my Mac with Doppler Transfer is no longer a tedious and unpredictable adventure like it was with Apple Music. Adding tracks from OneDrive, and editing track data on the phone directly is a huge bonus.
That said, there are 3 things I’d love the developer to address. The first one is really pretty important, the other 2 nice to have.
1 - Doppler pauses when I accelerate in my car. It’s really weird and VERY annoying. Happens when connected via lightning cable, with CarPlay or just the car stereo interface. Doesn’t occur on Bluetooth. On CarPlay, this has on one occasion seemed to crash the entire interface - maps and all. Please try to fix this! (Note - never happened using any other audio app)
2 - Sorting order is solely alphabetically and I’d love Doppler to be able to sort by artist surname.
3 - Swiping forward and back on the artwork to change tracks would be a great update to the interaction.
But #1 is #1!

Amazing app but…
I love this app however, I do a lot of driving for work and everyday life, and I can’t even use it while using CarPlay. The app doesn’t even load. Files play but unless if I use my phone while driving, it wont load any other songs.
iOS27/macOS27
any plans on updating both apps to the new ‘27 system for both platforms?
Love the app
I had bunch of songs I made on Suno but didn’t have a good way to listen to them easily until I found this app! It’s so easy to transfer songs to this app and the app automatically organize it by album, playlist etc. So easy to use.
Love it!
I’ve enjoyed Doppler for a very long time, now. Among the apps that can store music locally, I believe it is the one with the most straightforward, best-designed interface. It is surprisingly quick and the ability to sync with its macOS counterpart makes saving music on iPhone incredibly easy, fast and reliable, also compared to something like AirDrop and iCloud transfers. Personally, there is no feature that I feel like it’s missing, so I would like to see the option to choose a light mode, and maybe the ability to quickly create playlists based on more abstract concepts like feelings, e.g. “I want to create a playlist with music from the library that gives me energy”, or “What about music for when I’m feeling blue”, with an intuitive interface, or maybe Apple Intelligence support—just spitballing here :)

Works when even Apple Music failed me
I could not get Apple Music or it’s iTunes match feature to synchronize personal songs that I ripped years ago and which had been working for years and then randomly stopped. After countless hours of trying to remedy the situation, I read about Doppler and installed it and to my delight, it easily exported all of my playlists from Apple Music to all of my Apple devices and now for the first time in several years I can listen to my treasured personal song library on all of my devices. Very pleased with this app!
