Good App but Missing...
Limited functions in carplay. Artwork, previous/next song does not appear in carplay. Have to use phone.
Missing some features
I’m on an iPhone SE 2022 and I can’t really see the parametric EQ visualizer, it’s squished at the top of the screen. Otherwise great app, I wish it had shuffle for tracks/albums/playlists.
finally
ive used pentaton now for maybe 6 months? i was looking for a way that i could play the music library i own without having to push through multiple ads and streaming landing pages. ive mostly switched back to my 2009 vid ipod for music, but i did want a "bridge" app (for lack of a better term) that i could play my synced library on my phone also if i wanted to. this has fit the bill perfectly. it has all the most simple and necessary functions of a music player. it looks very similar to the way the original itunes organized things, and easily syncs your itunes music. it is SHOCKING how difficult it is to find something that just lets you play your music, and as far as i can tell, this is the only one. 5 stars.

音质很好 功能性欠佳
希望可以看到歌曲封面和歌词 类似于apple music那种 再就是可以随机播放以及歌曲定位 目前来看泛用性不是很广 优化一下买单的人也会多一些 因为音质已经很好了
Great UI and app
Might be nice if we have queue features like rearrange etc. Albums is just empty not showing like other apps. Option to save eq as a file will be good to have.
Fantastic app!
I love the App As I've Installed had this for a while. It has returned in a lot of ways Since purchasing Pentaton LifeTime there are some Perplexities I have found to notice, even After installing the Latest updates for every supported Apple OS that I have: Tracks can spontaneously pause after being left in the background with the screen off; New users might find there to be more of a learning curve as new features get implemented as opposed to legacy users. A tutorial of some variety might be useful in the future; Relaying semantics and location of Pentaton playlists and their assorted contents between devices via .m3u8 file Seems to persistently fail regardless of playlist size or how symmetrical those devices respective library contents are to each other. It just says sync error and it gets the name of playlists correct while leaving the playlist empty. I don't know precisely causing all of this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯...Just mine perspective though So hope that This helps. Cheers!

Great app .
Exactly what I was looking for when I wanted to move my music offline and control my own tracks . Happily a lifetime membership owner .

Thank you!
Great, needs some extra menu features
The app is great, it has a great EQ and looks very clean.
I just wish there was an "idle" screen with a progress bar and album cover on the app itself. The only way to know how long there is remaining in a song is to close my phone and view it from the lockscreen. There doesn't seem to a good place to "rest" your screen in the app itself while music plays. Having my screen open to strictly menus and whatnot makes me feel like I'm going to accidentally bump my screen and select another song. My instinct is to tap on the bottom label where the song name is, and have it "open up" a menu for the song where most of the screen is a sort of exhibit/display of the currently-playing track, and where a mindless touch of the screen won't do anything.
It would also be nice to have an in-app genre labelling.
I highly recommend this app.

Decent.
The app is easy to use and functions well. I really like the EQ presets built that are built in. Please note that you can trial the app before purchasing. The price is high but I hope more features are added in the future. I would like to see widgets.
potentially good
I think the app can be very good but it misses a screen player like on any other app
Response from developer
You'll be delighted by next version then!
Great app!
Efficient, no nonsense high fidelity music player for iOS. I love the no noise approach this app takes, which makes it my favorite music app overall. My preference is that it always stays this focused on keeping things simple and classic.
Fast perfekt!
Sehr gute Bedienung, guter Equalizer, für jedes Ausgabegerät automatisch die angepassten Einstellungen 👍 Mir fehlt leider noch die Möglichkeit für Car Play und so wie bei gängigen Playern dieses „einzelne Fenster“ wo das Cover gezeigt ist, was gerade angespielt wird.
Love it but frustrated
Love it, sounds great, looks great, brings me back to the old days before streaming
But!
Pentaton keeps “removing” albums from my library every couple weeks that I have to go back into my files to add. Not sure what this is about, and it’s not difficult to deal with but man oh man is it annoying.

That sounds super annoying! Could you drop a line to hello@pentaton.app with some more details so we can figure out what is happening together?
Stellar performance with zero fluff
Pentaton is an absolute gem and nails the basics to perfection. Decoding of lossless files is bit‑perfect and completely transparent. Also has no trouble cleanly sending tracks to my external DAC including my DSD collection. I appreciate that it streams directly from my server without wasting time importing or reorganizing files. No unnecessary features, no distractions just a pure, beautifully executed player that does the most important thing it needs to do and does it flawlessly. The interface is elegant and refined, with just the right amount of polish and tasteful animation to feel premium without being flashy. Hands down the new iOS standard for modern minimalist music playback.

Amazing Audio Player!
I’ve been using this audio player for quite some time now and with this newest playlist update I just had to write a review! I used to use VLC, but I was getting too frustrated by the delay between tracks, and this app makes the transitions absolutely seamless. For me, I also love the EQ feature! The fact that there are settings for specific headphones is such a good quality of life feature. And of course, the new playlists are a welcome edition. As someone who lurks on forums, the response from the developer regarding feedback has always been great! This is an amazing app, well worth the money!

Great app.
Been using for a while , amazing app . Finally a fast app that plays my own music files on my phone.
Has shuffle , pause , play ,etc.
I don’t really like subscription models but I purchased the lifetime pass which was well worth it .
I’d recommend this app to anyone looking for a good music file player .

Absolute killer!
Can’t get enough of it. Compared to others Pentaton provides clearer and more hi-end sound, minimalist UI and simplicity. Highly recommend for true music lovers.
Stellar Music App
I’ve been an ardent music fan for all of my life who’s been on a never ending quest for the best iOS based Music Player with Audiphile capabilities. Enter Pentaton, a stellar Music App with a Pro Level EQ and you’ve got magic. The Developer is very responsive as I requested the capability to add my iPhone’s Music Library to their Pentaton App and, DONE! The UI does need additional modern UX and, playback features with functuional tweeks but, with the Pro level EQ, there’s not a better sounding Music App for iOS, less the Subscription others require in the App Store. Keep coding and adding new, cutting edge features like Single or Repeat All, and an AI feature set as you’re out in front of the rest of the pack by a Country Mile!

Finally a lossless file player that looks great and works great. Had EQ profiles for my Grados, recognized my external DAC, let me simply drop files into a folder in Files.app. Perfection.

Happy to hear you like Pentaton!
