### 4/5 — Increíble sonido muy vintage, pero

*2024-07-04, version 1.0.8*

Solo detecta parte de la música comprada en iTunes (no toda). No detecta música de Apple Music. Detecta WAV y MP3 agregados a Music, pero no de otras carpetas o aplicaciones. Sin embargo, por sus agudos cristalinos y bajos le otorgó 4 estrellas

### 3/5 — Good App but could be better

*2023-04-05, version 1.0.8*

I like this App. I like the nostalgia feeling of it. But when I could create my own mix tapes and or set on existing playlists where Side B begins and when there where some other skins for the tapes, it‘ll be awesome. And I would rate it 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Pocket Cassette Player

*2022-12-07, version 1.0.8*

***edit DEC'22: the app doesn't work anymore! There haven't been any updates, so maybe it's just my music library is too big now? Currently on iOS 14.8.1 with over 11k songs in my offline music library***.                 

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Filters music from your library to sound like your playing them off of a tape, but without the bulk :) Turn your music library into one large vaporwave / mallsoft playlist!!

### 3/5 — Update required

*2022-11-28, version 1.0.8*

@developer plz update it asap

### 5/5 — THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS 100% FREE

*2021-06-17, version 1.0.8*

I absolutely love this app. While there could be some visual components that could be made better like some of the other reviews here, the app performs its intended function perfectly. Thank you for being unlike other developers, who say the app is free and then charge an extremely high premium to be able to decently use the app. To those unsure about downloading, I can assure you that this has ZERO in-app purchases and has absolutely no ads.

### 5/5 — The BEST!

*2021-05-13, version 1.0.8*

I hope this app never stops working. I love using it and it looks so realistic!

### 5/5 — auv3 ?

*2021-04-01, version 1.0.8*

I think you should make a AUV3 audio effects out of this, it would be great. Thank you !

### 5/5 — Bluetooth Support

*2021-03-05, version 1.0.8*

Nice player. Please give Bluetooth Play, Pause, Next Track and Previous Track Support. Also give Shuffle options.

### 3/5 — У меня не работает

*2021-02-20, version 1.0.8*

Xs max ios 14, не воспроизводит. Даже если закачать альбом на диск через apple music. Инструкций никаких нет, купить ничего не предлагает. Предполагаю что плеер забросили. Идею крутая за это 3 звезды

### 3/5 — Loved but Could be Better

*2021-01-30, version 1.0.8*

I love the idea it works well but only plays music you own and not anything from Apple Music subscription please update!!!

### 4/5 — 面白いアプリ

*2020-11-12, version 1.0.8*

最近CDからiPhoneに80年代の曲を入れて車のステレオで聴いてますが
当時はカセットテープに録音してカセットカーステレオで聴いてたのでiPhone音源は妙にハッキリクッキリして違和感ありました。

そこでこのアプリを使うと良い具合に音が悪くなり、スカスカ感も出て雰囲気が出ました。

ただ、使い方と言うか調整レバーの意味がよく分からないのと
カセットテープが伸びた時のモワンモワンとした音の再現があればもっと良かったなと思います。

しかし完全無料なのは素晴らしいと評価します。

### 5/5 — Made my morning:)

*2020-11-11, version 1.0.8*

Shuffle function would be useful

### 5/5 — Cassette player

*2020-08-26, version 1.0.8*

I love this app works well. I would like to see two meters , and some skins of cassette tapes from the 1970 ‘s and 1980’s

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-02-16, version 1.0.8*

Красное облачко рядом с каждой песней и альбомом. Скачивал в приложении Музыки, не помогло ((

### 1/5 — Impossibile cercare brano specifico

*2023-02-17, version 1.0.8*

App molto bella ma ha la grande pecca che non è possibile cercare una singola canzone cercandola per nome.
Peccato.

### 1/5 — I can't play!!!!

*2021-09-14, version 1.0.8*

I download this app, and I was able to see all my songs, but none of them would play.

### 1/5 — Don’t like library idea

*2020-07-10, version 1.0.8*

It really should have a record button plz

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-05-06, version 1.0.8*

Songs don’t play( How can I fix it?

### 1/5 — Useless App

Attempts to load music library but then crashes out over a 30 seconds.

### 1/5 — It doesn't work

*2018-04-18, version 1.0.8*

It loads my Apple Music library, but when I try to hit play nothing happens. I can pick different albums but it never plays the music. I'm using an iPhone X... O Merton this in case it's not compatible?

### 5/5 — Прекрасно!

*2026-04-26, version 1.0.8*

Отличное приложение, все просто, понятно, без рекламы и покупок (за что отдельный поклон). Не хватает возможности кастомизации, разные виды кассет

### 5/5 — Excellent !

*2026-02-12, version 1.0.8*

Simple and Beautiful. I’m sad about some music who don’t work (cloud logo). I was trying to localy download but without succes. Can you fix that ? Thanks a lot

### 5/5 — App muy agradable.

*2025-10-06, version 1.0.8*

Muy retro, diseño sencillo, permite modular bajos y agudos. Solo compatible con música comprada (no Apple Music).

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2025-02-07, version 1.0.8*

Buen diseño, excelentes efectos 👍

### 5/5 — Почти Идеально

*2023-04-03, version 1.0.8*

И правда, это Очень Круто. Полная иллюзия что ты слушаешь кассету, но в супер качестве. Необычные ощущения. Отличное приложение. Единственное чего здесь не хватает, это подгружать свои треки минуя Apple Music. Если бы была такая возможность было бы Идеально. Но все равно поставлю 5 звезд.

### 5/5 — Great tape player

*2023-01-17, version 1.0.8*

This app is great. But it needs more tape style s to choose from, but great for me to listen to some 80s collections. I use as my default player

### 5/5 — Supercool Retro App

*2022-11-27, version 1.0.8*

i love the look and feel of the app. Sure new features can be added but it will make it more complex. If you can somehow allow people to upload their personal libraries to some cloud and play:stream it using this app, you will get 10 stars. But for zero dollars and no idiotic ad pop ups. you cannot beat it. Fantastic

### 5/5 — 80年代風のサウンドが聴ける

*2021-12-19, version 1.0.8*

これにシティポップを入れて聴いてます！

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2021-11-09, version 1.0.8*

This works seamlessly on my iPad 8…fantastic

### 5/5 — arigato

*2021-07-02, version 1.0.8*

また音楽聴くのが楽しくなった！
