### 5/5 — Works just as you’d expect

*2026-08-14, version 1.13*

No ads, works as you’d expect. My only feedback is some better way to make and quickly start playing large playlists, and or make sub-folders not prevent the entire selection from being added to queue when selected. 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Very good! I enjoy the payed version, worth the investment

*2026-08-01, version 1.13*

To start, I would consider this a paid app, but the price is affordable if you use it.

I’ve been using the payed version for a year and a half

With ads gone it’s a good experience! Very consistent and reliable. It can’t download files from everywhere but you can import your own if downloads don’t work. It also reads metadata very well and arranging files within fileplay is just as intuitive as managing files in the files app.

There are a few quirks I think are worth noting though
1. 👎 Strait up, the downloader can be a pain, particularly with YouTube, it will ask if you want to download any video that starts playing. And since YouTube loads previews the app goes crazy and asks with EVERY VIDEO THAT SHOWS ON SCREEN. I’d recommend you get a url from YouTube or a browser and download with that. (Also carful to read the prompt and not download the ad, only ever had that once, but it worked 😂)
2. Ad free version does not stop ads from respective websites, browsing YouTube will still give you the adpocalypse and so on
3. There is no download audio option. The files can be big, I’ve taken to saving space in my phone by downloading externally and converting to audio before importing
4. Listening to music or podcasts with AirPods can be interesting as using pause on the AirPods will correctly pause fileplay, but pressing play is 50/50 if it starts again, or starts playing iTunes instead. It just doesn’t understand the binary pause play commands from Bluetooth devices
5. It doesn’t let you choose to skip forward/backwards or advance 30 seconds, it just figures it out on its own, and it doesn’t do a good job, so it can be almost impossible to listen to something over again during a podcast if the only option is to restart

### 4/5 — Almost perfect!

*2026-07-27, version 1.13*

I love this app but can you add Double Tap to Seek or Skip forward. I would really appreciate it!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-07-12, version 1.13*

Just what I was Looking for!

### 1/5 — Malware BEWARE!!!

*2026-07-02, version 1.13*

When I first opened this app, it showed a list of songs on my device. On first attempt to play a song, the entire app changed into a browser app. Very fishy!

### 5/5 — Can we make playlist?

*2026-06-09, version 1.13*

Love the app use it just about everyday. 
Just wish I could make a playlist so I don’t have to keep constantly queueing my music. Thanks✌️💚

### 5/5 — Volume booster

*2026-05-25, version 1.13*

Can please add a volume booster and more video speed options. Thanks developer 🙏

### 2/5 — How do we play more than one song at a time?

*2026-05-12, version 1.13*

The title says it all. I want to like this, but I can’t recommend it if I can only play one song at a time. I will return and change this review if I can be satisfied.

### 4/5 — About new update

*2026-05-11, version 1.13*

I don’t like the new update all the system change from where I download videos and it doesn’t play back to back before this update I love so much this app 
I like it now too. But come some problems

### 1/5 — Pls tell us

*2026-05-04, version 1.13*

Howwww do I useeee it bro
