### 2/5 — Constant Issues

*2026-08-02, version 13.1.4*

Won’t play certain songs.  Doesn’t save EQ settings.  I wish these issues would be corrected.

### 4/5 — Needs landscape mode!

*2026-07-23, version 13.1.4*

I love it!!! I’d love it way more if there was a landscape mode. For an app that has so much going for it, I’m surprised this wasn’t already implemented.

### 2/5 — Ads don’t stop popping up

*2026-07-04, version 13.1.4*

I’ve purchased the app to stop ads and they still pop up.

### 3/5 — Good player missing some Very basic features that other players have and an unresponsive dev team

*2026-06-30, version 13.1.4*

This is a solid player with a decdnt feature set - crossfade / ReplayGain / gapless / network support. 

However there is no automatic advance to the next folder once all files in a folder have been played.

There is also no resume playback from a point inside a file when the player is restarted.

I’ve emailed support repeatedly over time but have never received a reply or even an acknowledgement. Let’s call a spade a spade::

LAZY Developers.

THREE Stars.

### 4/5 — Crashes often

*2026-06-27, version 13.1.4*

Crashes all the time at the end of a song/album. Otherwise, adore this app. Have purchased the upgrade.

### 4/5 — Компрессор

*2026-06-26*

Отличный плеер, купил его полностью, но разочаровался отсутствием компрессора в звуковых эффектах, добавьте пожалуйста, а то без него при использовании эквалайзера любые колонки или наушники рвет звук просто

### 2/5 — Achat

*2026-06-05*

Bonjour, j’ai acheté CRYSTALIZER avec Appel pay mais ne me l’active pas et me demande de repayer alors que je l’ai déjà acheté alors c’est une arnaque ou comment 3,99€ débiter sur mon compte je demande un remboursement ou alors on m’active l’amélioration que j’ai acheté

### 3/5 — Still can't really recommend it.

*2026-05-28, version 13.1.2*

Features that are missing that are essential:

- Import and Export playlist.
Lack of importing and exporting playlists indicates a lack of faith in your own product. You want to lock users down to your ecosystem because you don't want to compete with other music players. Ironically, this makes your product less competitive with other music players.

- Cannot remove options from the side menu, such as Artists, Composers, Podcasts, Network / Cloud
If a user does not use these, then they should not have to see them or have them get in their way. Simple as.

Insane UI choices:
- Filenames are given priority in the visual hierarchy over track names from metadata.
Filenames are in bigger font and bolded. Track names are in little gray subtext. I really should not need to explain why this is bad UI design.

- In the 3 dot menu, "Clear Playlist" is right under "Add to Playlist". It is the same color. There is no confirmation dialogue.
Make it red and put it at the bottom, and add a confirmation pop-up. Again, I really should not need to explain why.

Make the changes to your app and I will buy it. Don't, and I won't, and a bunch of other people won't either.

### 2/5 — Unable to transfer via WiFi

*2026-05-23, version 13.1.2*

When try to transfer via WiFi, it provide a web address but when you to connect to the web address it tell you the site cannot be reached

### 4/5 — Дрбавление музыки в плеер на макбуке.

*2026-05-01*

Добавьте возьможность выбирать и добавлять папки с музыкой в плеер без всяких кастылей на макбуке!!!

### 4/5 — Вылетает

*2026-04-21*

После обновления стало вылетать приложение при нажатии на поиск!

### 4/5 — Great Music App

*2026-04-02, version 13.0.1*

The sound quality on this app delivers excellent playback results.  

The layout is easy to use and the appearance is very clean.

It is an excellent replacement for the Apple Music app if you use iTunes to put music on your phone.

My only suggestion would be to add a secondary level sort to the browser.  Example:  Open genres and see the albums sorted by artist, not album name.

Now if it were 100% CarPlay compatible I would give it 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Bugs found

*2026-03-29*

Swipe down from now playing screen is completely black.

### 3/5 — iOS 26.4 Crash

*2026-03-24, version 13.0.1*

CarPlay has always given this app trouble.  The sound works fine, but the screens used to search would show a hodge Podge of letters and only show a-e or A-T and then T again.  

Now, with iOS 26, the app crashes when the now playing screen is displayed using CarPlay.   

If you don’t want to use CarPlay other than to listen, the app is great.  It’s just never been CarPlay friendly

### 1/5 — Unrelated ads

*2026-06-27, version 13.1.4*

So many unrelated and annoying ads

### 1/5 — Freaky ads won’t let you try the product.

*2026-05-31, version 13.1.2*

Ugly ads started threatening that my phone is infected by some porn site and I need to download immediately some soft to cure it. Removed the app not even finished listening to a song.

### 1/5 — Ремонтёры

*2026-04-30*

Перестало работать на 6 айфоне !!!!

### 1/5 — Extremely poor UI; unusable as of April 2026

*2026-04-23, version 13.1.0*

Outdated legacy app with extremely poor UI. Great 1999 BBE EQ adjustments but it’s useless due to the apps inability to effectively catalogue music. Music only appears under “folders” and will not appear under other categories i.e. albums/Artists

### 1/5 — Перестал работать

*2026-04-17*

iPod touch 6 ПО 12.5.8 
Перестал работать, выкидывает приложение

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-04-17, version 13.1.0*

This was my primary flac player on my 6th gen iPod touch, but as of this latest update the app immediately crashes when attempting to launch it

### 1/5 — Mise à jour catastrophique

*2026-04-17*

J’adorerais cette application… avant la dernière mise à jour : elle désactive le bouton qui permet d’arrêter la lecture de mon casque Apple. Pas sérieux !

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-04-02, version 13.0.1*

Outdated legacy app with extremely poor UI. Great 1999 BBE EQ adjustments but it’s useless due to the apps inability to effectively catalogue music. Music only appears under “folders” and will not appear under other categories i.e. albums/Artists

### 1/5 — Выбрасывает из программы

*2026-03-24*

После обновление в программе стал появляться черный экран и стало выбрасывать из приложения! До этого все работало! Исправте и добавьте каких-то новых функций! Пока что перешел на Flacbox, так как невозможно сейчас пользоваться данным плеером.

### 1/5 — Bad app with shady ads Avoid!

*2026-03-16, version 13.0.1*

App shows porn ads with pop ups of web links

### 5/5 — Удобный плеер

*2026-06-29*

Хороший плеер для прослушивания музыки. После обновления треки не воспроизводятся по порядку. Надеюсь на исправление ошибки.

### 5/5 — Can you increase playback speed?

*2026-05-25, version 13.1.2*

Can you increase playback speed? like1.35x, 1.5x, or custom speeds

### 5/5 — Best Local Music Player out there!

*2026-05-02, version 13.1.0*

Over the past few years I got cought up into the audiophile nonsense and tried various apps and cans, iems, daps etc trying to get a fun music listening experience only to be left disappointed because no matter what hardware or software and eq I tried, things never sounded fun and engaging. And then, having tried every app I could find, I came across this one and I have to say, the DSPs it has really make a huge difference… I can finally get my wired and wireless cans and earbuds to sound fun and I am enjoying music a lot more now so thanks to the developers of jetaudio for what I think is a gem of an app 👍

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-04-23, version 13.1.0*

A friend of mine was completely baffled as to why my iPhone 11 could sound astonishingly better than his iPhone 17 when connected to his own sound system until I explained to him about this app, didn’t take him long to install it…

### 5/5 — Using for years

*2026-04-20, version 13.1.0*

I have been using this app for years. It is super vs the alternatives if you have offline files. I use it on my boat and it enhances the music level tremendously. So flexible to adapt especially with the the add on that you pay for. 

Please keep this updated for years as IOS changes. Thanks 🫡

### 5/5 — New update fixed CarPlay issues

*2026-04-19, version 13.1.0*

Finally got the update and now jetAudio finally works again on CarPlay and gave 5 stars again because besides that, it’s always been great

### 5/5 — App Crashing…

*2026-04-15, version 13.1.0*

When I’m in a playlist, and I do a Search; the app crashes once I type the first letter of whatever song I’m searching for. Please fix. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Amazing audio app for under 4 bucks.

*2026-03-27, version 13.0.1*

Perfect for anyone who keeps non-iTunes music on their phone. The premium version is inexpensive, and all add-ons are reasonably priced too. With premium, you get an ad-free experience, plus access to the equalizer and sound settings—which are honestly the most important features—along with a few extras.

You can also add 3D audio and a visualizer as separate purchases, or pay about $12 extra on top of the already cheap premium (under $4) to unlock everything for life. That’s a big plus compared to other apps that charge yearly. Personally, I don’t need the 3D audio or extra features right now, but it’s nice having the option to buy them individually or all at once.

If you have non-iTunes music, the only way to get it to show up in JetAudio is by doing a wireless transfer between your phone and a PC. Once you do that, a folder appears in the Files app—just drop your music in there and it’ll show up in the app.

It also supports streaming from services like Dropbox, but I’ve read that the EQ might not work properly with streamed music (not 100% sure though).

If you’re currently using VLC and want more control over your music, this is a great upgrade. It’s affordable, easy to use, and the sound quality—along with all the extra features—is excellent. Definitely recommend it for anyone who enjoys music and likes tweaking audio settings.

### 5/5 — Takesyour Music from a one story building up to a five story building in depth

*2026-03-05, version 13.0.1*

Chadd audio is a music app. I’ve been using for over 12 years now and I consider it the best to have for my application while it does not have streaming ability, the add-on features that are provided allow it to make your music sound like the original music in depth and quality.  The crystallize function restores the original harmonics of the music so the symbols and the voices in the base the horns sounds like three dimensional music.  Of course it does require your music be installed locally on your device as streamed. Music does not allow this operation to be performed because it is encrypted.  But for those of us who love to have Music sound should we find creative ways of getting the music we like installed locally and then expand it so it does sound like music is supposed to sound not a one floor sound, but up to five floors of depth.

### 5/5 — Suggestions

*2026-02-15, version 13.0.1*
