Can't repeat single track...

Can't repeat single track. Only full album.
No good for audiobooks.
No speed adjustment (for audiobooks)
Can't rewind or forward by a few seconds, only by using a bar which is not accurate with fat fingers.
I'll give full 5 stars when it will be possible

Absolutely incredible

Been using for years. Regularly maintained, bug free, faultless application. Feature rich, but still fast and light-weight.

The GOAT

completely dropped the itunes transfer system.

Cool

Top notch app for music…it would be nice if there would be an option to delete an item after playing

amazing But.. Lyrics!

ok i love f2k i use it all the time but. for the love of Everything pls add something to show my embedded lrc!! all my songs have it but i cant see them.. le sigh. Aside from that its perfect and nothing should change.

carplay support

Are there any plans to add CarPlay support?

5 stars, just missing a few things...

I've loved using foobar for a while now, and I love how it can play things like .vgm/.vgz module files and more. However, I wish for two things:
1) More compatibility for more video game music (like NSF subsong selection, GBS subsong selection, USF decoding, among others)
2) The ability to have some plugins built into the app. One particular one I enjoy is the SqrSoft Compressor/Limiter plugin, giving me that nice feeling of enjoying loud music without bursting my ears.

It doesn't matter how long it takes, I simply wish these can be implemented into the mobile app in the same way plugins work on the PC app.
Great app still!

Perfect and simple

Foobar2000 does exactly what it needs to do. It’s not trying to look fancy or have all the bells and whistles. It plays music plain and simple. No bloat, no ads, no internet. Just music.

Playback speed please!

I understand that you can change speed with a DSP, but I would appreciate the implementation of changing playback speed from the playback screen. With the option of turning time-stretching on and off. Thank you!

It’s free!!!!

I was looking for something to play FLAC music files on my iPhone… I had purchased several in the past to try them out… Flacbox, offline music player, and Doppler. This one is my favorite… it’s simple and it just works.

Bad user interface

I want to thank the developers, but the user interface is quite awful that it looks raw.

I wanted to delete songs from the app, but finding a way to delete a song required help from Chatgpt and then there is no option to delete multiple or all the songs from the library and/or app.

If you can fix this issue and add a feature to like the song and add it directly to a desired playlist by adding a heart icon in the Now Playing page, and also polish the UI and make it look like a premium product, then I’m sure people would happily pay for your app.

Must have!

TL/DR: If I want my music to play at a press of a button (yes, you read that right - native app was not)then it must be FOOBAR2000


Using it for 20 years(mostly on PC). After the native iOS app was not playing or had a delay in playing in areas with poor internet coverage(yes, even the purchased music), I have decided to look for alternatives. I was absolutely delighted to find that Foobar was available. The genius thing in this app is its simplicity. Definitely a must have !

lovely little radio!

hey! i don’t write reviews often, but i just wanted to let you know that i truly adore this little app. i found it one day while scrolling the appstore for one reason or another, and ever since then it’s been a pleasant break from spotify ads and other generic radio stations. i’ve even discovered new artists through this app! overall, thank you :) im glad you continue to update it and respect the privacy of users. love you, app dev!!

Works great

Sounds good and doesn’t require any subscriptions. Thank you for existing devs

Please add some little stuff

This is already great, plays audio files perfectly no issues, gives skin support(though it’s very minimal), supports 16:9 covers and more but the 2 things holding it back from a 5/5 is there is no search in just the Music folder and there is no bulk selection makeing it so hard to make a playlist with big song numbers

Perfect

Didn't know foobar2000 was on iOS, got it as soon as I found out. Literally the only app I could find out of dozens that lets you just navigate your music collection through local folders. Love that you can turn off browsing by media library tags, which always resulted in a million single-song "albums" in other apps for my hodgepodge collection of mp3s. Simple and functional UI that you can theme if you want. I'm rocking the default theme, its ugliness is so refreshing.

Wonderful!

I cant believe there is such good app, looks like premium Android base apps which you can adjust everything you wanted, especially the cover of album option i love so much! Thank you for this masterpiece 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

🙏🙏 thanks

Almost

please please please add an option to save/export import playlists as files like the pc version, and queue support

also please fix the bug that causes the app to crash when you try to rearrange the song order in a playlist while scrolling at the same time. it makes rearranging playlists very slow.

🙏🙏thanks

flacbox買っちゃったけどこれで良い気がしてきた

昔からローカル再生のソフトとして有名なfoobar2000、iOSにもあるの知らなかった…
レスポンスが非常に早く、他アプリにあるようなデタラメなkbps表示が無く、正確です。

また、別フォルダをアプリと連携するフォルダリンク(正式名わからない)も今まで使ってきたアプリの中で最も早いです。

1万円かけて他アプリの買い切りを買ってしまったけど、曲スキップの致命的なバグが頻発するようになったのでfoobar2000に移行しています。
