User reviews

Amazing

This is an amazing app! So simple and understated, so many features and file compatibility is impressive. I do wish for DSD support. I would pay for this software, luckily the developer is incredibly generous and makes it available for free. Thanks Jose!

Favorite music app so far

Needed an app that can also play opus files, UI is great. Would like the ability to play/pause using the space bar and seeking via left and right arrows.

Pure engineering magic. Outstanding!

Stumbled upon this by chance while searching, and it’s a total gem! Under 10MB, zero ads, no IPA, yet it packs pro-grade DSP tools. The Track Analysis (FFT Spectrograms, LUFS) is brilliant for verifying opus audio quality. Combined with a fluid Liquid Glass UI and rock-solid playback for long mixes, this is easily the cleanest player on iOS. Huge respect to the developer!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad that you enjoyed Nyquist's features, the main goal for me is to provide the best performance and playback experience without all the usual trouble like ads, paywalls, signups, etc. Like if you were in your "Finder" app browsing your library and just hit play. Always making sure to deliver the maximum quality possible from the file to the output device. Please let me know any feature requests or things that you would like to see in the app. Thanks again!
