However, there's no way to adjust the font size, and that's a real usability issue. Many album and song titles are cut off mid-word or shown as ellipses, which makes it frustrating to navigate or even recognize what's playing, especially with longer filenames or detailed metadata. A simple option to scale the font size down (or allow smaller text for title views) would go a long way in making the app cleaner and more readable for users. Looking forward to future updates. Great potential here. ### 4/5 — Très bien, mais un bug gênant *2025-04-04* J’ai copié dans Dropbox un certain nombre de CD classiques. C’est la première application que je trouve qui enchaîne les morceaux sont coupés le début de chacun. Mais il y a un bug gênant : il ne sait pas classer les pistes dans le bon ordre: elles sont dans l’ordre suivant par exemple : 1 10 11 12… puis 2 3 etc. Ça ne fonctionne correctement que si il y a moins de 10 pistes. Facile à corriger !!! ### 3/5 — I’d like to like it more. *2024-12-05, version 2.4* With sorting non-functional and no way to tag and filter its usefulness for me is limited. It was easier than writing my own, but that’s temporary, because I need stronger functionality 🤷‍♂️ ### 2/5 — Kamila *2024-03-17, version 2.4* I bought this app I couldn’t download single music it not work🙄 ### 5/5 — Best music player on iOS *2024-02-14, version 2.4* Finally found a music player comparable to PowerAmp on Android. Clean and simple to use UI. Premium version is well worth the money for ad free experience. ### 4/5 — Helps with Music Production *2023-11-08* As a music producer needing to listen to my countless bounced sessions, this is a perfect application. For a while there were some bugs but the new update has solved them - I think 👀. The interface is sufficient and simple enough to be a pleasure to use. The features are also very useful like EQ and playlist capabilities. I rely on this app for my workflow - I was heartbroken when the glitches prevented my use. But now so far so good. ### 5/5 — Application P A R F A I T E *2023-10-29* 👌👏 🎶 ### 5/5 — The best music player for Dropbox! *2023-10-01* Amazing player! With the recent update works flawlessly again. Treats a Dropbox folder just like a track list, you can seek, works perfectly with my car’s Bluetooth, repeat, & shuffle also work perfectly. Use it as a constant part of my music production workflow. ### 3/5 — Good but with caveats *2023-09-30, version 2.1* I like how it looks, controls and streams music from my Dropbox, setup is easy too. Major issue is while it can stream and play flac files, they don’t get added to the music library for some reason, seems like a bug or oversight but is quite annoying. ### 5/5 — Thanks for update! *2023-09-15, version 2.1* Before this last update, I would have given it 3 stars; constant crashing and whatnot. But the new GUI is great, and it seems like most if not all problems were fixed! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Thank You! *2023-09-08, version 2.1* Thanks for updating the app! I've been using it for years! Now bug free and the best app! ### 5/5 — I love it again! *2023-09-07, version 2.1* I previously gave this app a 1 star review because an iOS update caused it to get very buggy for ages. Well as of now it’s all fixed and it’s great again! Thank you! ### 4/5 — One way to fix sudden crash *2023-09-03* I notice that the music suddenly crash at the end of the one song. The way I fix it is to go to setting-audio player-crossfade playback-disable it. I found it fix the problem most of time but crash occasionally. At least I can play continuously when I drive using CarPlay ### 5/5 — Dropbox playback bugs *2023-08-30, version 2.0* Full of Dropbox playback bugs. ???? ### 3/5 — Good app overall *2023-08-26, version 2.0* Overall a good app but not with iOS 16. It keeps crashing when clicking on a new song. I’ve reloaded, etc but keeps happening. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2026-05-06, version 2.5* I paid for the premium version of this app and it has completely stopped working for me. None of my music files will play. I emailed the support contact and have heard nothing back. Super disappointing. ### 1/5 — Too many playlist problems *2025-09-04, version 2.4* Playlists don’t sync between my Mac and iPhone. Nonexistent customer support. Not worth it. ### 1/5 — Not worth it. Refund please. *2024-05-21, version 2.4* In theory this can work great, however it’s impossible to get music into it and the workflow is just poor. Test your app before releasing. ### 1/5 — Premium doesn’t work *2024-01-09, version 2.4* Paid for premium. Says I can add any cloud service but still only lets me use Dropbox. ### 1/5 — Impressively bad *2023-08-17, version 2.0* This app is impressive, in that it’s impressive that they managed to develop an app that’s more useless than just playing songs/files one at a time in the Dropbox app itself. An ad plays every time the app starts up, and crashes 9 out of 10 times after playing the first song in a playlist, forcing the user to re-open the app and watch another ad. Literally more effort than just playing songs one at a time in Dropbox. Impressive ### 1/5 — Not good *2023-07-06, version 2.0* Will not play more than one song without crashing. ### 1/5 — Used to be the best *2023-05-03, version 2.0* Used to be the best on my old iPhone since i upgraded to the newer iPhone 14 it crashes after every song ### 1/5 — almost great but buggy *2023-04-10, version 2.0* crashes when it reaches the end of a song ### 1/5 — Difficult to navigate *2023-02-10, version 2.0* In a word, cr*p. I am fairly tech savvy but this has to be the most un user friendly app I have come across. I have given up with it and have resorted to playing music directly from my Dropbox Cloud. Thank goodness it was only £4.49 for the Pro Version. Not a lot of money but now I know why. ### 1/5 — Constantly crashing on latest iOS versions *2023-02-09, version 2.0* Worked well until, apparently, some iOS update and now it crashes constantly making it unusable. It seems the comment in the description about consistent developer updates is no longer accurate. Have not seen an update for a couple of years. There are some other reviews complaining about this issue so it is likely more than a local problem. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Anas *2026-07-29, version 2.5* Alancy ### 5/5 — MBP The Most Elite. *2026-04-13, version 2.5* Phenomenal Perfect Peek Performance & Storage. ### 5/5 — It just works! *2025-06-06* I simply 1) put my music files in a folder Dropbox, then 2) browse to that folder in Musicbox, and 3) press “download”, and 4) all that music appears in Musicbox on my device! Then I play that music on my device. It sounds simple and it is, but so many other players fail to do these seemingly-simple things. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-03-08* Great app to use with Dropbox. No bug, easy to use and well made. Good job from developper. Thank you for this! ### 5/5 — Such fun *2025-02-25, version 2.4* •will auto find artwood for all song titles and even try for made up titles. •Best transitions into the next song ever •Links with everything •Basicly a Dawson's Creek Trapper Keeper Ultra Keeper Futura S 2000 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-12-23* I was hoping Dropbox would come up with something like this for years but just found it and I'm so happy to be able to stream my music finally anywhere without selecting one track after the other! Thank you 🥳 ### 5/5 — Eine Bessere Alternative zu Apple Musik? *2024-12-11, version 2.4* Ich habe eine umfangreiche digitale Musiksammlung und habe bisher die Musik-App von Apple genutzt. Allerdings stört mich, dass die App ohne ein abgeschlossenes Musikabo an vielen Stellen einschränkend oder nervig ist. Daher habe ich meine gesamte Musiksammlung in die Dropbox übertragen und die App Musicbox verwendet. Nach der ersten Synchronisation, die zwei Tage dauerte, waren Cover, Alben, Interpreten usw. sauber in der Musikbibliothek eingeordnet. Auch der Player lässt keine Wünsche offen. Ich habe zuvor einige andere Programme ausprobiert, aber Musicbox übertrifft alle – und das für weniger als 10 €, ohne Abo! ### 5/5 — Purchased premium but it did not last *2024-06-16, version 2.4* I purchased premium. When I broke my screen premium was not recognized and I’m running limited. ### 5/5 — Big improvements *2024-05-30* There was time when this app wasn’t working quite right a few years ago, somehow playback was just borked, I tried to get a kite to the developer, but apple was stupid about it and thought I hadn’t bought the app — then, lo and behold, the developer updated it and made it performant and so feature rich— it’s my favorite jukebox app ever. My hat is off. ### 5/5 — Excellent discovery !!! *2024-04-19, version 2.4* Finally normal app to avoid iTunes stupidity and listen my favourite tracks directly from where i want !
