### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-07-19*

Simply the best music player for local files I’ve found—and I’ve tried quite a few. There are a few minor, technical frustrations, but very understandable for a single-person developer. Two that come to mind are (a) a crash when dealing with the collection menus, and (b) the last.fm scrobbling feature does not have an offline log that I can figure out, so if you listen without wifi or cellular, those scrobbles are gone, unfortunately. Would be nice to see this feature!

Quick tip for other users: Use Opus! It becomes transparent at much lower bitrates than mp3, ogg vorbis, &c.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review. Please contact me at info@plastaq.com and I’ll try to figure out your collection crash.

### 2/5 — Great App

*2026-06-11*

The app feels quite nice, it would be nice to be able it to pull from a local dnla server to bypass the stupid apple devices path altogether. One thing that is missing is a CarPlay 👍 I found a few bugs that are quite critical to having a great experience. The random button does not work. It will play the original track that you selected many times. If you click on a track within an album and hit random to play the album in a different order the tracks will play like 5>9>5>7>7>5>5>5>2. Secondly the queue next button doesn’t work as it will insert the track in a random place in the queue. I really like this app but these features are quite essential for me so it’s important that they function.

**Developer response:** Random just plays random items from the play queue. If you want to shuffle an album use the shuffle button on the album page.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2026-06-03*

The app feels quite nice, it would be nice to be able it to pull from a local dnla server to bypass the stupid apple devices path altogether. One thing that is missing is a CarPlay app but other than that it does exactly what it is designed to. 👍

### 3/5 — No Playlists

*2026-05-13*

Really good player but not having the ability to make playlists is a huge dealbreaker

**Developer response:** Playlists are called collections in the app and have all the functionality of playlists and more, including sophisticated smart collections.

### 3/5 — good player, bad importing

*2026-04-12*

seems like a good player, it’s just that whenever i import any music, the player makes the artwork of all of them VERY low quality, and that’s just a big gripe for me. otherwise id be using this all the time

**Developer response:** The artwork is shown at full resolution on the album page and the full screen view. The app imports all your art at full resolution and doesn’t alter it in any way.

### 5/5 — Best Music Player

*2026-03-18*

This is legitimately the best music app I have ever used. It is fast, responsive, and uses wonderful gestures like being able to swipe right from pretty much anywhere to go back, instead of having to go all the way to the left edge. Also, the Mac app and the syncing between the two is so easy and reliable.

It is also clearly designed by someone who loves music. The support of the opus codec, the last.fm integration, the focus on albums, being able to favorite and rate songs/albums, and the statistics are wonderful. Being able to edit the metadata in the app is great. 

If there was one nitpick, it would be that I wish the search functioned slightly different. How it works is I have to type out “poison the  well” to find the band, but I would LOVE it if I could just type “poison well” and it return what I am looking for. I don’t know why, but I do not like typing articles into searches, so maybe it’s a me problem.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your kind words about the app! I agree about search. I’ll add that to my to do list.

### 4/5 — Easy to use 🌙

*2026-03-12, version 3.7*

Would love a YouTube player on the app so you can listen and stream music 🫶🏻

### 5/5 — Aesthetic and functional music player

*2026-03-03*

Minimoon is the only music player I have been able to find on iOS that combines ease of use, functionality, and superb aesthetics. I have only had issues with one aspect; synced lyrics. As far as I’ve seen after experimenting, the player does not support embedded lyrics. It instead displays them as they’d appear in an .lrc file, i.e., [timestamp] (lyrics), as well as not syncing with the song. If this feature could be added it would boost this to a five star perfect app for me. Also, if I’m doing something wrong and the player does support embedded lyrics I would appreciate if the dev could tell me what I’m doing wrong. Otherwise, love the app and I would recommend its one-time purchase for the full version! Btw I love the icon, it’s very charming.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review. You’re right that currently synced lyrics only work in external lrc files but the next update will add support for synced lyrics in tags too.

### 5/5 — Superb Music Player

*2026-02-01, version 3.1*

The new UI revamp is beautiful, I honestly like it better than Apple Music’s UI. The home page is amazing and the new features are neat! I really like when you scroll down an album by an artist you can see all related albums by them. 5 stars for not collecting data!

EDIT: If possible please add a filter in the favourites tab for song and album favourites <3!!!

### 4/5 — 3.0 Update

*2026-01-24*

Love the app and new look is nice. Some issues I noticed: In Home Screen, Most Played track list will only play the top #1 item when clicked, ignores clicking any other tracks. Albums Tab is sorted in a way that isn’t obvious, with no options that I can find to control sorting. There doesn’t seem to be a way to reorder tabs like the last version, I definitely want Home, Artists, Genre at the top so they appear on the bottom bar, the last version let you do that.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. The latest version brings back the tab reordering feature and a 3.2 update is coming soon that should fix several other issues including the most played tracks click issue.
