### 4/5 — It’s good!

*2026-08-27, version 7.6*

The app is great, I uninstalled the Apple Music player because I don’t want my flacs converted to any inferior file format. Now with that said the app has an issue….switching songs the ui doesn’t update …previous update didn’t have this issue. Ther than that it’s a great player

### 3/5 — Clunky interface

*2026-08-27, version 7.6*

So one major issue with this app is that it does not allow you to disconnect from a vehicle or turn off Bluetooth for it. So every time you start the car, Flacbox comes on and starts playing the music. Extremely annoying, especially if you are connected to another device in the car like a phone and trying to listen to a voicemail or a podcast.

### 4/5 — 歌词lrc文件支持不够

*2026-08-09, version 7.6*

歌词lrc文件格式支持不够，时间戳都显示出来了。

### 4/5 — Needs Apple Watch Support

*2026-08-08, version 7.6*

I like the apple but no way to control it on apple watch I can’t see what’s next i don’t have watch widgets and I think it needs siri commands too.

### 4/5 — Decent app

*2026-08-05, version 7.6*

App refuses to delete thumbnails for files under File manager. When I click on Show in folder, it won’t let me manually delete files either. It shows an error message that says something like unable to delete file because it couldn’t be moved to trash because the volume “User” doesn’t have one. Great for playing my music, though.

### 4/5 — Play next option is broken

*2026-08-02, version 7.6*

The recent update has a good bass engine but changing song to next gets stuck and seems to be broken and the songs just loops the recent ones unlike looping to next song

### 2/5 — Unnecessary paywall

*2026-07-05, version 7.5*

Making playlists offline locked behind paywall, which makes no sense at all considering that I already have the songs downloaded.

### 3/5 — Good but not perfect

*2026-06-21, version 7.5*

This is a must have, due to lack of other app options,if you use only your only mp3 music files instead of apples coercive paid music. However the app needs work due to bugs like freezing and resetting when using ‘select’ songs when adding to the play next or later queue, and also songs showing up for ages in recent even after recent songs have been deleted. Overall a good app, particularly in regards to the excellent loudness increase when using the equaliser but it still needs work before I’ll increase my review to four stars.

### 2/5 — 広告の質が酷い。

*2026-06-11*

無料でも使用できるので、広告が出ること自体には何も不満は無い。しかし、その質があまりにも低い。
機能が良いだけに残念。

### 2/5 — Performance is really lacking

*2026-06-07, version 7.5*

This app seems to be plagued by constant buffering and freezing almost consistently. None of the alternative apps for this purpose seem to have this issue for me other than this one.

### 3/5 — Great UI

*2026-06-02, version 7.5*

I like the app and how responsive it is but ultimately deleted it because there shouldn't be ads on offline music. There should be respect for offline users. This isn't an Android app where pop-up ads are the norm. I do recommend VLC.

### 4/5 — Could be great

*2026-05-31, version 7.5*

Could be a great app. Just has a few inconsistencies and bugs. Won’t import some DSD albums and way too hard to import from a hard drive or drag drop when connected to Mac. Often imports tracks in duplicate or triplicate.

### 2/5 — life changing

*2026-05-27, version 7.5*

im never going back to music streaming services ever again

new update : i cant access the queue :(

### 1/5 — recent update no longer has free premium option

*2026-08-29, version 7.6*

used to be able to watch an ad for free premium.

now there's only a paid option

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-07-07, version 7.5*

The app used to work fine now it just jumbles folders and songs together in a nonsensical way when trying to access files by artist.  It doesn't appear to be able to handle ID tags properly.

### 1/5 — Stopped playing my files

*2026-07-07, version 7.5*

Worked fine, now won’t play linked files. Click the file in the file location and it plays just fine.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t play next song

*2026-07-02, version 7.5*

Doesn’t automatically play next song

### 1/5 — Broken, why should anyone pay for it

*2026-06-18, version 7.5*

3 dot menu straight up doesn't work

### 1/5 — Terrible program

*2026-06-15, version 7.5*

Program stopped working on my iPhone. Just continuous “loading”. Almost non existent help files. Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Исправьте пожалуйста

*2026-05-25, version 7.5*

Нельзя редактировать теги одновременно

### 1/5 — Used to be good.

*2026-05-25, version 7.5*

This used to be a great app up until a couple of months ago, but after the latest updates it barely works anymore. I download files, and when I try to play them, they only play for a few seconds or sometimes a couple of minutes before stopping completely. If I press play again from the phone screen, it starts over from the beginning. The only way to resume playback from where it stopped is to reopen the app and manually select the file again.
I already contacted support by email, but so far I haven’t received any response or solution. Very frustrating experience for what used to be a reliable app.

### 1/5 — Display chaos

*2026-05-23, version 7.5*

Has serious display issue. If you added multiple songs to a playlist and play a particular one, it will not play what you want, it will play a totally different one instead. Ads experience is also horrible

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2026-05-21*

После обновления 7.4 перестало запускаться, на экране загрузки с логотипом приложения долго крутится колесико, потом вылет и по новой, до этого работало без нареканий

### 5/5 — Best…by far

*2026-08-25, version 7.6*

Ever…and ever!

### 5/5 — Works really well!

*2026-08-03, version 7.6*

I bought the trial version, then went premium. It carried over to my new phone. Great quality, easy to use. Would recommend.

### 5/5 — Genuinely beautiful

*2026-07-14, version 7.5*

Nothing else needs to be said

### 5/5 — perfect but now issues

*2026-07-01, version 7.5*

had to change this review the repeat button was triggered   the app is perfect  no issues!   amazing app love it

### 5/5 — BEST MUSIC PLAYER EVER GANG

*2026-06-28, version 7.5*

Best Music player on Mac and iPhone I love this bihhh

### 5/5 — UI hart, Funktion top

*2026-06-26*

Inhaltlich bietet der Player alles, was man für das Abspielen von applefremdem Inhalt benötigt. Flacs kann ich jetzt direkt abspielen ohne doppelte Ablage als Alac. Man kann seine iCloud-Mediathek gut verlinken und bei Bedarf Playlisten herunterladen. Über Bande kann man auf dem Mac auch die selbe Playlist mit dem iPhone teilen, vielleicht meine ich aber auch die gleiche. Nach Änderungen muss man nämlich die Wiedergabeliste überschreiben und auf dem anderen Gerät überschreiben.

Und da wären wir bei dem harten UI. Es gibt unzählige verschachtelte Ordner und Rubriken, weil eben alles mögliche geht. Wenn man sich aber etwas mit dem Programm beschäftigt und weiß, welche Knöpfe man meiden muss, damit nicht versehentlich eigene Flacs auf der Cloud gelöscht werden, funktioniert alles gut. Der Player läuft stabil. Es sieht nicht wie 2003 aus. Aber eben auch nicht ganz wie 2026. 

Sehr gute App ! Lob an die Entwicklung

### 5/5 — perfect but now issues

*2026-06-26, version 7.5*

### 5/5 — Up to 20,000hz pls 😭

*2026-06-15, version 7.5*

### 5/5 — Спасибо

*2026-06-09, version 7.5*

### 5/5 — Loyal to this app

*2026-05-24, version 7.5*

Man i have use this app for the last 7 years, and is so good for the nostalgic people that still downloading mp3s or own a big library, you could still use it with itunes (old ver) big big thanks to the developers, always in my heart
