Also does not see all of the tags on files that it imports. ### 3/5 — Please fix CarPlay *2026-09-02, version 3.2* This is almost the perfect app, i love everything about it but one thing. And this one thing is the reason I haven’t switched to it. I have this issue where when I accelerate from a stop when driving, the app completely crashes and takes me to the home apple CarPlay menu. I noticed someone else has this issue. If this can get fixed I will easily buy this in a heartbeat, it can be an amazing app ### 3/5 — CarPlay crashes while vehicle accelerating *2026-08-31, version 3.2* Love the ability to quickly import from cloud storage. Biggest issue is that it’s unusable in the car. The app consistently crashes when the car is accelerating from a stop. It seems about the same speed that other apps prevent you from using the CarPlay on-screen keyboard or scrolling, except in this case the whole app just closes. It’s too distracting to try and relaunch while driving, so I just don’t use it. I really hope this is fixed soon. ### 3/5 — Beautiful App but … *2026-08-22, version 3.2* This is a wonderful app and I enjoy using it with my iPhone; however, it is impossible to use with CarPlay as it crashes every 30-45 seconds. This seems to be an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed. As it is, it is flawed. ### 2/5 — Frequent crashes when using CarPlay *2026-08-22, version 3.2* eom ### 4/5 — Would be 5 star but… *2026-08-21, version 3.2* This app is nearly perfect, almost a 5 star, but it desperately needs individual buttons to remove songs, and a single button to remove all songs, right now i have to delete the entire app and re-download if I want to start fresh. Additionally, a button needs to be added to add all songs to a playlist, so if I want to add every available song, I don’t need to individually add each one. Small things, but for me it would make a huge difference and Doppler would be an easy 5/5 ### 5/5 — Please change this *2026-08-09, version 3.2* Hello I love your app but please let us our own pictures for playlists and collections. Also let us manually order the albums on a collection, i don't want them to just be alphabetical. Other than that great app!! ### 3/5 — Amazing!! But… *2026-08-05, version 3.2* This app is by far the best music player on IOS. The UI and layout is perfect, it’s super easy to sync music to it via iTunes and its ease of use is so much better than all of the other options out there. I have been experiencing some major problems though that have prevented me from fully singing it’s praises. The app consistently crashes whenever my phone rests and goes to the lock screen. To circumvent that I just leave my phone on and don’t let it rest, but that causes my phone battery to drain really fast and get super hot. When navigating other apps while listening to music on Doppler, I get consistent, super heavy lag which makes using my phone and listening to music at the same time basically impossible. I have an iPhone 13 Pro, which is admittedly a bit of an older phone at this point, but i’ve had no problems with other music player apps & even apps in general with them crashing or lag so it has to be something that’s wrong with this app. Overall I really love this app, it’s so close to being perfect, but it’s got some major snags that make it hard to recommend to people. ### 5/5 — Just perfect for me *2026-08-03, version 3.2* Excellent app I have all my music in MP3 and on my computer and can manage it so well with this app. Perfect. ### 5/5 — pretty good *2026-08-03, version 3.2* pretty good ### 5/5 — Genuinely Phenominal *2026-08-01, version 3.2* Love this app, love its simplicity and it SIMPLY WORKS!! Although I wish it had a sleep timer but it is so great otherwise! ### 5/5 — All you need… *2026-07-27, version 3.2* If you’re looking for a simple music app to import your tunes then look no further. I was fed up with streaming apps limiting what I listen to, adding features like skip track behind paywalls etc so decided to burn my old CD’s into this app. Never looked back and it’s lovely having no ads etc. money well spent. ### 5/5 — Like Apple Music for CDs *2026-07-17, version 3.2* I use this app to listen to ripped music from CDs and 7digital purchased files. It has all the features of a normal music player such as albums/album art, artists, shuffle etc., but you get to use your own files. ### 5/5 — Quality Music Organizer *2026-07-15, version 3.2* Don’t even have to touch metadata. Drag and drop files, organize how you want. Worth the $10 imo. ### 5/5 — Perfect for me—no subscription *2026-07-15, version 3.2* It does exactly what I expected it to do. I paid for it once and that was it. I use listen to my Bandcamp library FLAC downloads. Feels great to have paid for this service one time and not be locked into a subscription service in this day and age. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — CarPlay issues *2026-08-15, version 3.2* The fix someone posted to help with CarPlay doesn’t work. Everytime my vehicle makes a complete stop and then I go, the music stops. App hasn’t had an update in over 10 months. Don’t buy. Developer may have just took the money and ran. ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-08-08, version 3.2* Full of bugs and no notion of a purchase until you download it ### 1/5 — Crashes repeatedly *2026-07-25, version 3.2* Frustrating app. Crashes during playback more times than not. Zero support. This app is so close, but no cigar sadly 🤷🏻‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2026-07-24, version 3.2* This app keeps crashing on me, and tech support has been unresponsive for a month now. ### 1/5 — CarPlay crashes *2026-07-23, version 3.2* CarPlay crashes every time my car moves and the developers aren’t responding to any emails .. it was such a great app before the iOS 26 update ### 1/5 — cover art issue *2026-05-29, version 3.2* it added one songs cover art to several other songs after i imported them. not sure why the app would need to even do that. also theres NO editing of local files. hoping it would be like Musicolet and this is the 5th app ive tried. they all have so many cons ### 1/5 — Bad support *2026-05-16, version 3.2* Unfortunately this app is full of bugs and there is no support. I’ve emailed numerous times with no success. Save your money and try something else. ### 1/5 — Doppler on iPhone AirPlay connected to HomePod *2026-04-10, version 3.2* Doppler on iPhone AirPlay connected to HomePod stops every next song and disconnects from HomePod ### 1/5 — Constantly crashes *2026-04-08, version 3.2* Wish it was usable after paying for it. Constantly crashes. I have the newest update. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Crashing in Carplay *2026-03-31, version 3.2* The app keeps crashing in Carplay after approx 1 minute of play. Tried reinstalling the app and restarting phone with no improvement. I’ve emailed support several times with no response. So much for customer service. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect Music App *2026-09-06, version 3.2* Doppler allows me to put the albums I like on my phone so I can listen to them when I am away from home. I like the way it displays the albums plays them. ### 5/5 — No adds, no substitutions. Just YOUR MUSIC in one place *2026-09-01, version 3.2* I hate seeing an add for Apple Music every time I opens the app. I have a terabyte of music and I’ll still own more as I wish. And when I would search MY music it would always default to the Apple Store well I’m done. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-08-28, version 3.2* Perfect ### 5/5 — Professional *2026-08-25, version 3.2* Feels like using a personal polished version of other media apps without a subscription 😁 ### 5/5 — Please change this *2026-08-25, version 3.2* Hello I love your app but please let us our own pictures for playlists and collections. Also let us manually order the albums on a collection, i don't want them to just be alphabetical. It would also be cool if we could write in the lyrics. Other than that great app!! ### 5/5 — Well done for offline music *2026-08-24, version 3.2* This is exactly what I've been looking for on iOS. I can even transfer files on Fedora without issue. ### 5/5 — A great option for local music libraries *2026-08-20, version 3.2* After years of frustration using Apple’s Music app for my local music library I switched to Doppler and have never looked back. While title scrolling and large tile album art would be a welcome addition I can’t fault any of it, especially the variety of formats supported and in-app meta data editing. Recommended! ### 5/5 — Great app for music lovers *2026-08-18, version 3.2* Great app for escaping algorithmic music streaming corporations. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-08-11, version 3.2* Best music player I’ve used ### 5/5 — Own your media = better than soy goys *2026-08-10, version 3.2* Great app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
