### 4/5 — All is OK, but…

*2026-04-22, version 1.99.9*

Hi. The app is fine at minimalisms area, but icon is some old-style under modern iOS. Or add able to change icon in the app!

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-11-30, version 1.99.6*

This is great for local music on iPhone when not using iTunes. why does it not work with YouTube music playing? Can you make this happen?

### 4/5 — Good app

*2025-11-24, version 1.99.6*

Literally just needs an option to delete items and more customization for albums, and maybe Apple Carplay but decent app

### 4/5 — Is there really no option for this

*2025-07-12, version 1.98.13*

How do you change the metadata for the files? It’s a good player but no option to edit the file info?

### 3/5 — Great Sounding but can’t play correct songs

*2022-03-08, version 1.98.9*

Trying to play other songs from other and it will only play the first track and none of the other. I really won’t this app to work well because it sounds better than the Apple Music app. Love to add more bass or higher frequencies!

### 5/5 — Very easy

*2021-05-28, version 1.98.9*

The interface with Apple Music is spot on.

### 3/5 — Is it support carplay?

*2021-04-23, version 1.98.9*

Playing music in the car

### 5/5 — AWESOME!!!

*2021-02-05, version 1.98.9*

Sound is amazing - best I have found so far!!!  Pulls down a lot of the Apple Music - more than most ICF these apps.  Note trying to cause trouble, but surprised its still free ... 😀👍🏾

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2020-12-17, version 1.98.9*

I love the fact that I can load my music local to my phone as well as adjusting the equilizer. The music sounds so much better on my boom box now.
Thank you so much for this great App.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2020-11-30, version 1.98.8*

Amazing app

### 4/5 — Great EQ

*2020-10-06, version 1.98.8*

Works great as a player, just wish there was a way to delete duplicates without going through every song to see what ones were doubled up.

### 5/5 — Great app, Make it perfect

*2020-08-21, version 1.98.8*

Add: “play next option”, 
Add: file information( bit rate, file type etc) 
Add: option to delete song files from device within app
Add: option to rename song files within app

Make <time progress bar> longer. Right now it’s really short for me to pin down precisely.

### 4/5 — Well Done

*2020-08-13, version 1.98.8*

I like this app a lot. It reminds me of the iOS Apple Music app minus the clutter and junk. 
Well done!!!

Please consider Car play support. 

Thank you

### 4/5 — Suggestions for Dmitriy

*2020-07-26, version 1.98.8*

App is wonderful, but a couple of things could make it even better, in my opinion.

As others have mentioned, it would be great if the app enforced either track or filename order for playback. That would make this a wonderful app for playing classical music, podcasts or audiobooks, as well as pop music.

Also if 30-second rewind or 30-second fast forward buttons could be added, it would make it ideal for use as an audiobook/podcast player as well as an excellent music player.

Would definitely pay for these features.

### 4/5 — Cool music app but...

*2020-07-24, version 1.98.8*

Please add support for:
1. Sorting Albums by Artist, Recently Added..etc

2. Sharing music as individual files and multiple files (folder) using the share sheet (open-in)

3. Bigger artwork and the ability of customizing Artists Artworks.

Thank your for this great app, I appreciate the effort you've put in creating this app🙏🏼

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2021-08-15, version 1.98.9*

Basically crap .

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2020-04-18, version 1.98.6*

does not support iPad, falls

### 1/5 — Impossible to figure out

*2019-08-11, version 1.98*

I loaded the app and attempted to transfer flac to iPad....simply impossible to figure software out.

### 2/5 — Can’t delete tracks once added.

*2023-05-09, version 1.98.9*

The equalizer is the best part of this app; allows extremely precise fine-tuning and will make any headphones or speakers sound like they cost many times more than they actually do. But not being able to delete individual tracks is massively inconvenient. Hence the rating.

### 2/5 — Frustrated

*2020-07-22, version 1.98.8*

I hate my Apple phone fod so many reasons. I won't  correct the FN autotyping too much. 
So I can upload Music but no option to delete it.

### 2/5 — Freezes mid-song and crashes

*2020-02-18, version 1.98.6*

The app does not let me enjoy my flac library, freezes completely after a song or two.

### 2/5 — A work in progress...

*2016-06-19, version 1.92.5*

I really liked this app until I discovered it didn't support gapless playback.
With some work this could be a great music app.
Keep up development please.

### 2/5 — Volume control & play button don't work

*2014-04-13, version 1.0*

Please fix the volume control slide and play button, both not responding! Sound quality is good though. Not happy!

### 3/5 — Track/album/artist sorting

*2026-03-11, version 1.99.9*

Seems like a good app, but the lack of ability to sort tracks (only possibility is alphabetical) is an important feature to me

### 3/5 — Great player!

*2025-11-26, version 1.99.6*

Wow it’s actually pretty, I’m new to iOS so finding a local files player has been pretty difficult, Evermusic is so ugly especially with separating discs on an album, and Doppler has had its support completely abandoned. This is working so far so great though. Would love to see a feature to combine similar albums. I have an issue where albums with multiple artists are duplicating despite being in the same compilation and having the same album artist. (Think it might be because the songs all have different years?) anyhow, very thankful that gapless playback actually works here. Would love to see a tag editor and some smoother UI animations! And thank you for supporting all album cover dimensions, there’s a weird glitch where the app will automatically give a border to album covers and it overlaps on covers that aren’t perfectly square, but I hope to see that fixed in the future. Thanks for still supporting this app!

UPDATE:  no last.fm support, unfortunately that’s a dealbreaker for now :(

### 5/5 — v good yay :)

*2026-03-12, version 1.99.9*

hii. i really like the app! mostly since it lets you make as many playlists as you want and doesn’t seem to make a copy of whatever music it opens (maybe? probably)

only have a few things that would count as issues:

 - it’s kinda hard to tell what you’ve already added to your library, since there’s not really anything other than the ‘already added’ message. makes adding things in batches weird.

 - song tab is.. not working right now? (idk why, it might just be me)

 - different artists seem to get grouped in with others? but are also sometimes their own thing.
(also, it’s a tad tedious to have to go through individual albums to look for songs, so maybe they could all just be in one list, but sorted by the album? idk, maybe it could be a separate option)

 - and uhmm, in an album, the first song you click on is what shows up in the player view, but not when it’s the little strip at the bottom. that does change if you exit and come back and click on something else, but then it’s just stuck on that one.

 - that, and maybe there could eventually be an option to change an album/artist cover?

okay i have yapped too much. sorry :P

### 5/5 — So good!

*2026-01-27, version 1.99.9*

This is a great offline mp3 player. Has a clean look, gets regular updates and is brilliant. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app, but…

*2026-01-05, version 1.99.8*

I have to admit that this might be the greatest music app I have ever used! Tons of features, frequent updates, clean UI, all for free. 

I’ve noticed that there is no shuffle button for user-created playlists (at the top of the list) so you have to click on a song and enable shuffle on the song’s menu if you want to shuffle. You also cannot delete/remove songs you have downloaded to the app via files. 

Apart from these small issues, I love this app and I will continue to use it in the future!!

### 5/5 — v good yay :)

*2025-12-21*

hello, hi! loving the app so far, tis very good and easy to use compared to others and actually uses local files w/out making a copy or something. v good for storage!

only issue is that albums seem to overwrite individual covers? and sometimes importing large amounts of files seems to miss some :p

also, would appreciate if there were more options to filter your songs with in the main screen (recently added, date created. etc.) but like that i can make as many playlists as i want! :D

and it works, so guess that’s a plus too.

### 5/5 — A Breath of Fresh Air

*2025-08-16, version 1.98.18*

I've lost track of the number of apps I've downloaded, tried out, and then discarded because of intrusive full screen adverts, multiple pop-ups urging me to pay a ridiculously overpriced monthly subscription, mystifying interfaces or other strange and annoying features. 
This app is a breath of fresh air... easy to use, no adverts, simple easy to use interface, and it does what a music player is supposed to do, - it plays my music.
The icing on the cake, is that it's free.
Thank you, Mr Developer, this is perfect.

### 5/5 — 😘🥰

*2025-06-13, version 1.98.10*

Don't leave us again please!!!😭😭

### 5/5 — This app is amazing, shame u can’t get it anymore

*2023-05-13, version 1.98.9*

Idk if I can’t find it or if apple took it down but this app is a music nerds paradise, 10 band eq, control over ur preamp, if apple took it down, no wonder

### 5/5 — Simple, no data collected, no ads.

*2021-10-23, version 1.98.9*

I love minimal app yet work well. And this app does that, no ads, no data collected, simple design and the most important is it can play music. :)

### 5/5 — Just one suggestion.

*2021-09-16, version 1.98.9*

love this app. 
Can I suggest a sort button for music. I really wanna listen from new to old and not alphabetical order.

### 5/5 — Best player period

*2021-08-29, version 1.98.9*

Yep
