Da ich viel Musik über Tidal höre, nutze ich die App leider seltener. Ich kenne es von anderen Apps, wie Hiby, dass dort die Tidal Option integriert ist. Aber leider nur bei der Android App. Auch nicht bei der IOS App. ### 4/5 — Excellent player but desperately needs to Not rely on a database *2026-06-28, version 2.28.3* I have used this player for years and found it to be excellent and its support without peer. That being said, Neutron’s biggest flaw is its reliance on a database. It needs to scan all files first; it cannot access files on the fly dynamically. This will require substantial work, both redesigning and recoding but if one has a large collection, the scanning process becomes arduous (in my case about two hours). Other players already do this; it’s Neutron’s turn. FOUR Stars. ### 4/5 — A great player if a little hard to use *2026-06-24, version 2.28.3* A wonderful music player with so much functionality. Would be nice to have true cloud functionality. And it is hardly user friendly. But my preferred way to listen to music through my receiver. ### 3/5 — Un très bon lecteur Sauf que .. *2026-06-22, version 2.28.3* Un lecteur magnifique complet sauf qui ne va pas sur la montre pas pratique ### 4/5 — Sin soporte para Plex. *2026-06-11, version 2.28.3* Una vez te acostumbras a la interfaz, es el mejor reproductor de audio con diferencia. Lastima que por la carencia de soporte para Plex, me veo obligado a usar Plexamp. ### 5/5 — dac 사용시 재생이 멈춰요 *2026-04-25, version 2.28.3* dac 사용시 재생이 멈춰요 ### 4/5 — 검색 한글 타이핑 버그 *2026-04-23, version 2.28.3* 언젠가부터 검색에서 타자 치면 영어는 제대로 쳐지는데 한글은 이상하게 쳐져요 이 버그 꽤 오래 됐는데 왜 안 고치나요ㅠㅠ ### 5/5 — Glück gehabt *2026-04-15, version 2.28.2* Mit dem Update auf v2.28.1 war der Player von Audioausgang abgeschnitten. Wollte gerade eine schlechte Rezession schreiben, bin dann aber über eine Aktualisierung gestolpert. Mit dieser v2.28.2 funktioniert wieder alles. Somit ist es nun eine gute Rezension geworden. ### 4/5 — please support audio books *2026-04-15, version 2.28.2* an absolute gem, however there is no way to remember the playback position for spoken audio. this is a must for spoken dialogue.n ### 5/5 — Lifesaver *2026-04-15, version 2.28.2* Lost my JB with EQE, Neutron saved my sanity. ### 4/5 — Does the job *2026-04-11, version 2.28.1* Probably the most suitable app for local music play, but very archaic UI and not very intuitive. ### 3/5 — ZEN DAC 3でPCM to DSDが再生されない。 *2026-04-07, version 2.28.0* ZEN DAC 3でリアルタイムDSD変換再生すると、音量が異常に小さくなり、ノイズがすごく出ます。改善お願いします。 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-03-28, version 2.28.0* One of the best music player I ever used. It’s versatile and provides high quality audio, no matter the file format. Moreover, it’s actively developed and new features are added regularly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 垃圾到不行 *2026-08-05, version 2.28.3* 我有好幾T的音樂，非得要掃描完才能播放；沒有瀏覽資料夾功能，簡直愚蠢！都是古典音樂，就算花幾年掃描完，也是用不了的垃圾結果！ ### 1/5 — Very bad! *2026-07-31, version 2.28.3* After ten years, the app interface is still unstable and poorly designed. After launching the app, track scrolling doesn't work and is unresponsive. I have to stop playback and restart it to make it work, and this happens every single time. ### 1/5 — Норм *2026-06-29, version 2.28.3* Придбав давно і постійно тарбли Бездротові девайси не можуть повноцінно керувати програвачем. Епл музика працює некоректно. З 2019 року послухав максимум -5годин Не купуйте! ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2026-05-25, version 2.28.3* This app is completely non intuitive. I wanted an app to replace my synology ds audio app, but I wanted one with gapless playback- because the pause between certain album songs annoyed me. There was no option to try this app, or I would not have purchased it. I read the reviews and said- well I’m tech savvy I should be able to figure out how to add my nas device. Well after 4 hours I got my nas added, but only while I’m at home- it won’t accept my domain name for remote play. The user interface is frustrating and disorganized- it was probably made by some old white guy because it’s not at all intuitive. It’s just a frustrating mess, with no instructions or video help. Do yourself a favor and just stay away from this. ### 1/5 — Mal *2026-05-20, version 2.28.3* Compré la aplicación para iOS de iPhone 17 y cuando le pongo reproducir y bloqueo el teléfono escuchando en audífonos o bluetooth la aplicación se cierra después de unos segundo de reproducción y se deja de escuchar . Por favor una solución ### 1/5 — не працює *2026-05-19, version 2.28.3* жодний трек з жодного ресурсу так і не заграв. в пусту витрачені гроші ### 1/5 — Before update work bad but work *2026-04-11, version 2.28.1* Before, to listen to Dsd , i had to turn the volume all the way up, but since the update that no longer works. The app does not work for listen DSD with dac now ### 1/5 — Terrible UX *2026-03-09, version 2.28.0* Hope you’re a programmer Good luck uploading a file on your phone - no attempt my app to easily import files from web - it’s like using Fos ### 1/5 — No vale la pena *2026-03-03, version 2.28.0* Se desconfigura solo, no aguanta archivos grandes se satura una mrd la verdad no paguen por algo que no sirve ### 1/5 — Horrible queue system *2026-01-01, version 2.27.6* The queue system undermines its own purpose. When I add a song to the queue, I expect it to seamlessly integrate into the preexisting queue of songs currently playing. Instead, it creates a separate queue that feels more like starting a new playlist from scratch. While you can set it to automatically play the queue when adding songs to an empty queue, I’d prefer a system that behaves like Apple Music or Spotify. I don’t want my current song to be abruptly paused while the queue plays out, only to resume the paused song afterward. I want queued songs to automatically play later without manual input, either directly after the current song or at the very end of the current queue. I was able to overlook the unintuitive UI due to its feature rich capabilities, but the queue system is a major dealbreaker. I regret my purchase. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!! *2026-08-18, version 2.28.3* I’ve been using Neutron Music Player for a few years now… no matter the .flac file size, depth, etc, absolutely NO issues… amazing sound reproduction! ### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥 *2026-08-05, version 2.28.3* Чудовий плеєр,користуюсь вже 3 роки.Дякую розробнику ### 5/5 — 回来道歉，是我没看懂 *2026-07-08, version 2.28.3* 之前打一星骂它贵、骂它炒作，是我浅薄了，对不起。 后来才知道，作者是乌克兰人，一个死磕工程学的疯子。十几年不搞花俏界面，全部心力砸在声音上。介面是真的丑，声音是真的好，一分钱一分货，这是我用过最值得的交易。 说句实话：随便听听别买，安卓用 Salt Player 就很好。喜欢日系细腻调音的，隔壁 HF Player 也很棒(不要付费）。但如果你有好耳机和无损歌单，买它绝不后悔。 再次道歉，也谢谢你的坚持。 ### 5/5 — Geliştirici Arkadaşa Saygılarımla *2026-06-28, version 2.28.3* Uygulamayı çok beğendim. Uzaktaki sunucumda bulunan müzikleri bu uygulama vasıtasıyla üst düzey kalitede ve gerçek zamanlı pitch, reverb ve ses yavaşlatma gibi özellikleri rahatlıkla kullanabilmek için satın aldım bu uygulamayı. Yalnız geliştiriciden bir şey rica ediyorum. Bu bahsetmiş olduğum ses özelliklerini arayüz üzerinden daha kolay bir şekilde yönetebilmek ve daha rahat bir kullanım sunan bir arayüzü kullanıcılara sunmanızı talep ediyorum. Hepimize kolaylıklar dilerim🙏 ### 5/5 — Best Sound *2026-06-21, version 2.28.3* I’m just a 64 year old guy that likes to listen to music. I have tried countless ear buds and found some that I think are the best. But it was not until I got this player that I have heard parts in songs that I never knew were there. Yes, it takes some time to find the settings you like best, but WOW what a difference this app makes in the music I listen to. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-14, version 2.28.3* Extra snappy interface, all formats supported, nice EQ ### 5/5 — App eccezionale !!! *2026-06-12, version 2.28.3* SEMPLICEMENTE FANTASTICA E COMPLETA. 💯👌 ### 5/5 — Worth it! *2026-05-31, version 2.28.3* This is the only player for a audiophile that wants to listen to full albums with background art work and common sense visualizations that correspond to the music playing, the extra work to configure and learn this program adds to the ritual of music playing akin to spinning expensive vinyl on a record player, and you’ll get better sound quality due to FLAC support. The only mature music player available. ### 5/5 — It is my favourite app on the iPhone *2026-04-30, version 2.28.3* Please make it for Mac too. As for not it is not compatible at all 😚 ### 5/5 — Absolutely the best *2026-04-25, version 2.28.3* The UI is wild and difficult to learn but it's amazing once you do. It's like the fighter jet of music apps! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
