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! ### 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 ### 4/5 — LOONA *2026-03-29, version 1.13* Great for listening to loona while boycotting! Add r a little annoying but whatever ### 3/5 — I can’t access my files *2026-01-07, version 1.13* I love this app but I hate that I can’t access my “music” folder, it looks like it hidden in the “Fileplay” folder, idk why I can’t touch the songs that I downloaded please tell me how to fix this fatal flaw ### 4/5 — Nearly perfect *2025-11-27, version 1.13* Amazing way of listening to music, I mean, it’s completely free!! Who could say no to that? Unfortunately, it’s only really built for listening to a song on loop and manually changing it, as the only way to listen to multiple songs is by manually adding to queue, very tedious. Other than that, this is an amazing free alternative way to listen to music! Highly recommend. If the queue thing was fixed, I’d definitely have this a perfect five star review. ### 3/5 — Jesús *2025-09-26, version 1.13* Todo está bien, pero los anuncios no deseados son un dolor de cabeza al querer cambiar la música ### 4/5 — 광고만 없고 km처럼 목록 만들면 *2025-09-26, version 1.13* 역대급 플레이어 될거같습니다 이퀄라이저 성능이 우수합니다 ### 3/5 — Bookmarks! *2025-09-14, version 1.13* There is no facility to bookmark???? ### 1/5 — Stupid *2025-08-23, version 1.13* Stupid thing doesn't even let me move audio files into folders. What a waste. ### 3/5 — It seems good *2025-08-14, version 1.13* But i cant really use it. When i open the app, it just shows empty files. It used to let me download songs but for some reason it doesn’t work anymore ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 1/5 — Pls tell us *2026-05-04, version 1.13* Howwww do I useeee it bro ### 1/5 — One song only *2026-04-21, version 1.13* You can only play one song at a time the queue don’t work ### 1/5 — التحديث الجديد دمر التطبيق *2026-03-05, version 1.13* في التحديث القديم افتح البرنامج ادخل في اليوتيوب اضغط في الفيديو و يتم تحمياه بسرعه بعد التحديث اصبح معقد ما هاذا الهراء ### 1/5 — Pub *2026-02-24, version 1.13* Pub pub pub ### 1/5 — ? *2026-02-21, version 1.13* 0 clue how to put music and bass boost it yall rlly gotta give instructions ### 1/5 — Something is terribly wrong *2026-01-19, version 1.13* I just got this. It worked fine for a few minutes. And after a bit it started eating up all my storage space. Overheating my phone. It only seemed to resolve after I deleted the app. I HEAVILY don’t recommend touching this app. ### 1/5 — Shuffle And Play Foward And Play Backwards *2026-01-08, version 1.13* What’s the point of the app if these features is not working fix this up i need to shuffle and play my music back and forth without having to go on searching what to play it gets annoying. ### 1/5 — Where is the browser? *2025-11-17, version 1.13* No browser seen ### 1/5 — Why???? *2025-11-14, version 1.13* Where is The browser and direct youtub download ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2026-07-12, version 1.13* Just what I was Looking for! ### 5/5 — Can we make playlist? *2026-06-09, version 1.13* Love the app use it just about everyday.

Help would be much appreciated. (I figured it out and it works! No help needed! I would recommend some form of tutorial or something on forming playlists) ### 5/5 — ‏أفضل تطبيق *2025-08-08, version 1.13* ‏10 من 10 ### 5/5 — pubis *2025-08-07, version 1.13* excelente app ### 5/5 — Love it! One small suggestion *2025-07-30, version 1.13* It’s finally an ad free mp3 player although I don’t see a functionality for creating multiple playlists. It groups all songs into a mega playlist. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
