### 4/5 — Good

*2026-07-30, version 9.4.1*

I’m just starting to use this program, but it seems good so far! I have a lot of music on my hard drive that just isn’t streaming anywhere, so it’s nice to have access to it. I wish it had Last.fm compatibilty, though.

One thing I noticed is that I can’t pause a song for more than 10 seconds without it completely restarting when I hit play again. It’s pretty frustrating. Otherwise, so far so good, and I’m looking forward to getting everything backed up!

### 5/5 — Great Service

*2026-07-14, version 9.4.1*

Great app and service

### 5/5 — Dream App

*2026-07-13, version 9.4.1*

No more music ads or subscriptions. Good syncing. Upload your own music, I love it. Thank for you for this service! I couldn’t complain about a thing, never will.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-07-13, version 9.4.1*

The best app for cost effectively uploading your own library with zero hassle - no contest! And I’ve tried just about every other solution out there. Why do I like it? Genius in the simplicity. Excellent uploading function. Brilliant value for money. Unlimited upload capacity (unlike Apple Music for example that limits you to 100,000 tracks - - many digital music collectors have thousands more than that), flexible audio quality, integrated into Apple, android and tv eco-systems. No longer dependable on streaming services. I now much prefer to buy my own vinyl,CDs and Bandcamp 
downloads and control my own collection. I reckon this might be the future.

### 5/5 — Excellent service

*2026-07-10, version 9.4*

I’ve enjoyed this app, it’s worked well on my iPhone and iPad.   I like to download albums primarily but streaming works well too. Premium service is worth it but the free version works very well and the sound quality is still good enough.

### 5/5 — Recent update killed the app for me

*2026-07-08*

After updating the app in the last few days, it is now unusable for playback. It crashes and closes continuously. 
Web version on desktop still works great. Music still uploads stores and sorts. But access from the app is virtually useless now.

### 5/5 — Nothing else like it

*2026-06-30*

Honestly the most amazing service. I can’t believe it exists at all, let alone the fact that most functionality is completely free. Just download it, build your own library of music you love and unsubscribe from your streaming service. It’s brilliant.

### 5/5 — GOAT

*2026-06-08*

This is the greatest music app of all time if you have a large quantity of music and you want it on the go. 

Only issue is I wish it was easier to edit big groups of music. And sometimes Album artwork isn’t available. But I’ll just google the image and upload it myself.

### 5/5 — Best cloud streaming app!

*2026-05-28*

I’ve been using this app since I discovered it almost a year ago. My library is 200+ gb and growing. The free version is totally worth it for storage alone! I quickly changed to premium to help support the program and develop. And stream my Flac and Alac high quality files. Added percs are being able to edit metadata and redownload! Can’t wait till they figure out the shuffle by entire album option (play full album then shuffle to a different full album). Unlimited cloud storage, streaming at highest quality uploaded, and editing metadata. For me it was a no brainer.

### 5/5 — An excellent cloud music library player

*2026-04-22*

I am a fairly new user and this service seems great so far. I had used another similar service for a while but it had too many problems. I have not experienced such problems with iBroadcast. 

I would make two feature requests though: 

1. It would be nice if there were an iBroadcast Mac app for playing your library rather than having to use a browser on a Mac. 

2. The Apple TV app would be much better if you could control the library with the Apple TV remote rather than having to use your iPhone.
