## What is HiFier?

HiFier: Born for Audiophiles, High-Fidelity Music Within Reach!

We are dedicated to restoring the original truth of sound. HiFier is crafted by audiophiles for those who pursue the ultimate listening experience. All features are available to free users, and you can gain unlimited usage time by watching ads.

• A Connection Experience Built for the Internet Era

1. No need to download music files to your phone beforehand—directly connect to your cloud drives, media servers, and NAS for instant online playback. Your content stays synchronized with the cloud at all times, freeing up your valuable storage space. Don't worry about data consumption during online playback: HiFier features a built-in, optimized caching function that ensures no data is used during repeat plays and automatically manages cached data to maximize the efficiency of your storage and network. Of course, we also support batch downloading, allowing you to download files from any connected service for playback in completely offline scenarios. 
2. Support for global search across all connected media servers for songs, artists, and albums, as well as searching for files across all cloud drives. Multiple accounts are supported for the same type of cloud drive, making the most of unlimited free space.
3. CarPlay is also supported.

• Full Audio Format Support

1. Stop worrying about tedious audio formats—we support almost all of them, including DSD and SACD ISO. We also support DoP (DSD over PCM) output, allowing DSD audio to be sent directly to your DAC device.
2. We support the audiobook (m4b) format, including the use of internal chapter information. Additionally, we support PDF file browsing, so you can listen to audiobooks while viewing e-books—an excellent solution for language learning.
3. Common video formats are also supported, including HDR and Dolby Vision.

• iCloud Synchronization:

Your app data can be synced to iCloud. We only synchronize essential information, providing an extraordinary experience while occupying minimal iCloud space. This ensures you won't lose your data after reinstalling the app and allows for automatic data synchronization across different devices.

### 5/5 — 方便.音乐效果出众！

*2026-08-10*

试用期间，除了偶尔的声音挤撞在一起或不流畅稍微有点卡顿，没有发现其它的现象，而且不确定是网络问题还是解码器问题或者软件问题等。

### 5/5 — 为数不多我评论的APP

*2026-06-28*

这个APP亮点是可以把WebDAV 里的歌曲直接添加到自己的播放歌单里面。尤其是在CarPlay 上直接操作播放非常的方便。但是CarPlay 上返回逻辑貌似和其它app有点不一样，我不能一直按回退让它退出到CarPlay 的主页，需要按一下主页按钮才能退回来。

**Developer response:** 这个问题我研究一下返回键的处理，非常感谢反馈

### 5/5 — 越来越好用了！！！

*2026-06-21*

从内测就参与了，开发坚持不懈、持续更新，现在的版本越来越好用了，请继续努力，期待开发出更多优秀的app

### 5/5 — 很好很好

*2026-06-14*

界面好看，比较简洁，功能该有的都有。现在是主力

### 5/5 — 不错，简洁易用

*2026-06-14*

好不容易找到一个简简单单干干净净就是联网盘听歌的 app， 希望不要弄成其他 app 那种乱七八糟啥功能都要有杂七杂八的

### 5/5 — 小问题

*2026-06-11*

主要用于本地播放。在播放时 导入的文件未显示正在播放到哪一首。播放面板未能显示歌曲序号数字 默认只能循环播放 而不能顺序播放到结束终止

很耗电

**Developer response:** 可能有些文件播放失败自动跳到下一曲了，之前的版本缓存有点问题会导致此问题，可以尝试清除一下缓存再试试，如果还有，可以app内反馈给我，我这边能复现的话就解决

### 3/5 — Great potential , but with still limited features

*2026-06-09*

I was looking for a alternative to Flacbox to stream my vast hi resolutions cloud music library and HiFier work so much better. It’s way more reactive and start to play selected music a lot faster. Now, if only it could generate a music library I could browse with album thumbnails( like Flacbox do with metadata ) instead I need to find my specific music trough my cloud tree folders. I’ll keep an eye out for future improvements, keep on the good work 👍

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback and support for HiFier! Regarding the music library scanning feature you mentioned, I’d like to explain why we haven't implemented this approach for the time being:1. Limitations of Metadata Quality and Server Rate Limits:HiFier supports a wide variety of cloud drives, but most of them place strict rate limits on third-party API requests. Once a threshold is crossed, the server will block access. In severe cases, a user’s entire cloud drive account could be temporarily suspended for a day (such as with 115 Drive), which causes massive frustration for both developers and users. High-frequency requests for online album covers would easily trigger these errors. While reading only embedded metadata tags (like Flacbox does) avoids online database calls, this workaround is far from perfect—if the music files lack proper embedded tags, the resulting library quality will be very poor. Yet, high-frequency tree scanning to fix this remains highly risky under cloud drive restrictions.2. Heavy Resource Consumption:We cannot predict the volume of our users' libraries—some users have hundreds of terabytes of data stored in the cloud. Even if the server doesn't throttle the requests, scanning at this scale would consume massive amounts of cellular data, battery, and time, which could lead to a poor user experience. Handling this kind of heavy-lifting work on a portable mobile device might not be the most ideal approach right now.3. Detecting New Files: If new files are added to the cloud, the app has no way of knowing without performing another full directory scan. Consequently, the time required for a re-scan scales up heavily with the total number of files in the cloud. 4. Storage and Local Database Backup: For massive collections, the generated local database itself becomes quite huge, eating up precious phone storage. Furthermore, if the app is ever reinstalled, that entire scanned database would be lost. Based on these current technical and user experience challenges, HiFier temporarily does not include a full file scanning feature. If you prefer to browse your collection as a structured library with thumbnails, we highly recommend using a media server instead. HiFier currently supports the most popular media server protocols (such as Navidrome, Subsonic, Jellyfin, and Emby). Handing the heavy scanning and scraping workload over to a dedicated media server running on a NAS or PC is much more efficient, keeping the mobile app lightweight and responsive. Additionally, unlike Flacbox, HiFier also supports video playback and can even browse PDFs and images. If we focused heavily on music scraping right now, it might overshadow these versatile extra features. In fact, many of our current users choose HiFier precisely because it keeps a clean, folder-based layout without forced scraping.Thank you again for your valuable input! We will keep optimizing the app, and I hope this helps clarify our current design considerations.

### 5/5 — 软件很不错，建议作者做Mac版本！

*2026-05-30*

今天试用了，软件很不错，等再试用一下Carplay，能正常使用就付费了。但发现没有Mac版本的，用手机版的不是太好用，尤其115网盘没办法正常登陆，而且也不美观，建议作者做一下Mac版本的。

**Developer response:** Mac版本目前是使用的iPad版本，确实体验没有原生pc版本的好，支持原生Mac目前还不在计划中，115网盘你可以在手机上登录，打开iCloud应该是可以同步到Mac上的。

### 5/5 — 不错，简洁易用
