It also stops playing after about 3 songs and I have to restart the app every time. Hope this gets fixed because otherwise I really enjoy using it. ### 4/5 — Love this but can’t save my favorites *2025-10-12, version 6.2.5* I absolutely love this app. I have had it for ages now and it has helped me discover so many new artists and incredible music. Lately, I'm unable to log in and favorite any songs, and I've lost my playlists that I had curated over the years. Still, it's worth holding onto. Hopefully the bug gets fixed soon. ### 4/5 — Cannot Retrieve My Favorites Tab *2025-02-27, version 6.1.2* I’ve been using this app for over 15 years. I have a login through Facebook and now it won’t work no matter what I do. Please fix this! I’ve been saving songs for so long and to lose my playlists would be devastating! I will even change to a different login type as I’m sure it’s facebooks fault but please help me transfer over! Thank you and happy listening:) ### 4/5 — Just a small ask *2025-02-17, version 6.1.2* Great app! I've followed you guys for years now. Just a small ask for the iPhone app - the last couple of genres on "Explore Songs by Genre" (folk-pop, ambient electronic, etc.) can't be selected. Not sure how to search those genres otherwise. ### 3/5 — Oh? *2024-12-21, version 6.1.2* Hi, cannot sign in with Soundcloud! ### 5/5 — amazing app! *2022-07-17, version 4.8* i love it so much! simple but efficient design. made with love ### 5/5 — 별점 와이러누 *2022-06-02, version 4.8* 몇년째 개잘쓰고있고만 와이러누.. ### 3/5 — PLAYLIST NOT WORKING! *2022-03-10, version 4.8* I like that I can listen to music ad free, however the playlist part of the app isn’t working for me? Anyone else? I go to make a playlist/add things to playlist and then go over to the playlist tab and nothing is there. I’ve refreshed it and redownloaded the app :-/ I’m not sure what to do at this point. ### 4/5 — App not functioning on iPhone properly *2021-11-16, version 4.7* There doesn’t seem to be a way to contact you guys otherwise, so hopefully you read this. I love your app and have found many bands I like on it over the past couple years but now music stops after I play each song instead of just continue to play song after song. I actually have to physically go back to the app and hit play each time which makes it tougher to use during work or whenever. Please fix this! ### 4/5 — A great, wonderful app but…. *2021-11-02, version 4.7* It seems with the last update, the app has lost some functionality. I can only listen to one song at a time, meaning I hit shuffle, one random song plays and then the app stops. I have to unlock my phone and go back and hit shuffle again. Otherwise this is a 5 star app, if they could fix that issue. It has great commentary and background from the contributors and an awesome selection of little known gems out there. ### 5/5 — Great music for free *2021-09-09, version 4.05* Thank you guys for what you are doing! ❤️ Great music everyday, nice user friendly player. I’m in love ❤️ ### 5/5 — Loin des grosses multi *2021-09-02, version 4.05* Biens calés dans le bon goût Dans les bons goûts D’excellentes suggestions Présence de raretés (notamment Rock Garage! Lo-fi etc..) À faire connaître Magnifique alternative aux grosses boutiques phagocytantes Thanks a lot ### 5/5 — I’ve been a fan of IndieShuffle for almost 10 years *2021-07-02, version 4.05* IndieShuffle has never let me down. If you’re a fan of exploring and discovering new music as well as new artists, sprinkled with awesome descriptions to give you a bit of background about both, this app is it. I am wildly amazed that this app isn’t more popular than it is. Great work l, and keep it up. Please. Half of the artists I listen to is thanks to you! 🙏🎶 ### 5/5 — Found my way back almost 10 years later *2021-06-23, version 4.05* Still kicking butt. Used this all the time in my early 20s when I was still hip, but got lazy with Spotify mixes. Things were getting bland and I’m so glad Indie Shuffle is still around to help me find some fresh sounds. Many thanks to the whole team! ### 5/5 — Real *2021-01-25, version 4.05* 4yrs now and I still use it all the time. Simple format, no BS Genres really well varied. Content is open minded, feels human and not burdened with hype. Only “wish”, maybe some additional search filters. ### 5/5 — One of the best music apps out *2020-12-29, version 4.05* Love this app; one of my favs! Discovered a ton of new artist, and new songs. Love that it’s an app catered towards non-mainstream music. In addition, the dedication the team puts into song/artist description is well appreciated. My only gripe is a glitch in the player, where it will display a different song/info than the one you are listening to if you exit the app. A little annoying, especially if you want to favorite a song; you will need to go back and look for it. I’m hoping the team can fix that ASAP. ### 3/5 — Wrong music displaying on the player *2020-12-19, version 4.05* I love the songs on Indieshuffle but the app is absolutely frustrating for me. Most especially because the music player always displays a different song than what’s playing. Another one is when I’ve favorited a song and it shows that I haven’t so I do it again and so it cancels what I do the first time lol it’s driving me nuts ### 5/5 — 😁😁 *2020-12-04, version 4.05* Conozco esta app desde hace algunos años y honestamente no sé porque deje de usarla hoy la recordé y sin dudarlo la volví a instalar, te amo Indie Shuffle ❤️ ### 5/5 — Sick app! *2020-12-02, version 4.05* I couldn’t be happier with this app! I’ve discovered so many new artists and tracks that I love through Indie shuffle. Most importantly, it’s free with no advertising!!! Thank you :) ### 5/5 — love ittt *2020-07-15, version 4.05* this app is amazing, I’ve discovered so many new artists. I really really recommend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs work *2019-09-14, version 4.02* Crashes every time i try to save a song. Also, it displays different songs than whats actually playing so while there is good music it’s really inconvenient when i can’t even get the correct title of what’s playing. ### 1/5 — iOS 9.3 can't add song to favorites *2016-06-20, version 2.3* App Will cash when I click favorite to add music for favorites ...... Plz fix it , ty. ### 1/5 — Crashes even more AFTER UPDATE *2015-04-04, version 1.9.1* Love the whole concept of the app but what good is it if it doesn't work!!!! ### 1/5 — Broken please fix *2014-06-30, version 1.7* Indieshuffle; you were my friend. Hype machine uses to be my main squeeze, but they wanted $5 for a stupid app that doesn't even let you play your favorites. Then you came along, and were totally god damned awesome for years. And then you updated, and screwed it all up. Works fine initially albeit I bit slow. But switch to another app, or close your phone and go back to it? Awful. Takes 5-15 seconds to respond to any touch, even pausing doesn't work. Just totally terrible. Will not recommend; really wish I could go back to the old version. Pretty depressed about it as I used to use this app daily. ### 1/5 — Thanks for nothing *2014-06-20, version 1.7* So I had a HUGE list of songs I loved that I could only find on this app in the "my music" section, now they are all gone for no reason telling me I haven't favorited anything. I hate this app now, complete garbage. ### 1/5 — What a waste! *2014-04-12, version 1.4* Since the update, I've lost my playlist, the app is now full of bugs, crashes all the time, you cannot forward into the song anymore and you cannot select favorites anymore... What the hell happened? ### 1/5 — I USED to love this app. *2014-04-11, version 1.4* But now I am devastated and pretty upset with this app. I've been using for a little over a year and I had a HUGE list of favorites collected during that time. With the update, I've lost ALL of my saved songs. Pleaseeeeee tell me that when you guys fix the app I will be able to get my favorites list back!!!! Please?!? I still can't even keep the app open. It keeps crashing every time I try to skip a song or even touch my phone when it is already in play mode. Please fix this soon. This was my favorite app in finding and discovering new artists and bands and I have faith that you guys will deliver with the updates as well as with restoring all my favorites. ### 1/5 — Badd *2014-04-09, version 1.3* It doesn't work ### 1/5 — Better before *2014-04-08, version 1.3* I'm having nothing but trouble with this updated version 1.3, loading sub genres whilst in play mode takes me out of the app leaving me looking for a certain song all over again, also when trying to add to favourites the app shuts down, even occasionally just shuts down all by itself. I'm using an IPhone is anyone else having this trouble? ### 1/5 — Muy mal *2014-04-05, version 1.3* La aplicación se cierra, arréglenlo!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This App Has Been On My Home Screen For Years! *2026-02-04, version 6.2.5* Just wanted to leave a comment on how much I use and appreciate this app. I have compiled a huge playlist of saved songs over the years. Thanks for keeping up with the updates and adding the new music daily. ### 5/5 — A user for 13 years *2025-07-12, version 6.2.5* Amazing! I love finding new artists and the curators for this have the best taste! I wish they had a way to submit songs! I’ve always loved to find new artists (concert tickets are cheaper lol) 10/10 app! ### 5/5 — Intelligenza umana al servizio della musica! *2025-04-05, version 6.2.4* La uso ormai da 15 anni. Le migliori canzoni le ho trovate qua. Non quelle che ti ritrovi ad ascoltare in un tunnel infinito di tracce simili. Ma quelle che ti fanno apprezzare la varietà e qualità degli artisti presenti nel mondo. Una vera fortuna che esista un app e un progetto del genere ### 5/5 — Ma plus belle découverte *2024-10-26, version 4.9* Je rigole même pas 🖤 Site découvert y a maintenant presque 10 ans. Toujours une valeur sûre en 2024, tant pour la plateforme en elle même que les goûts de ses contributeurs 🍯 ### 5/5 — Best FREE music app *2024-10-03, version 4.9* I've used this app over the last decade and I still cannot believe they don’t have ads or charge anything for this. You get an unlimited amount of music and you can save to your own personal playlist. This is a great way to discover music and get away from all the top 50 garbage loop you find on YouTube Music or Spotify. The only disadvantages because it is a free app. There is no off-line listening. There is no search for music. I really doesn’t matter because it is so awesome otherwise. Donate money every few years if you can, it does help a lot for them. ### 5/5 — App is down and will not allow me to sign in with face book *2024-08-10, version 4.9* Do you know how long this issue will continue? ### 5/5 — If only I can use this app on apple car play *2023-11-21, version 4.9* This app is awesome! I wish one day I could listen to it while driving! ### 5/5 — Underrated app *2023-06-05, version 4.9* I love this app. They have good music and I’ve been using this app for years. ### 5/5 — A M A Z I N G *2023-06-03, version 4.9* I love this app! Been using it for a few years and I always go back to it. I really enjoy exploring new and unique music that I won’t be able to find easily anywhere else. Highly recommend this app :) ### 5/5 — the best *2022-07-22, version 4.8* have used this app for eons and indie shuffle is still the best place to find new music! thanks for keeping it classy :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
