Cool app with one pretty significant flaw
This is a solid music visualizer that is rendered nearly useless by one major flaw. If I have my music just stored locally in a folder on my phone in the files app, and then I choose one or more of those songs to play back in Phazr, once it’s finished playing the song(s), they’ve disappeared from the files app entirely.
It seems that somehow Phazr is deleting every song I play with it, without any warning or notice or anything. So basically, if you’re using this as a music player, either be prepared to lose those files after Phazr has played them, or I guess keep duplicates of everything on your phone to replace the files that Phazr will delete. Either way, it’s a pretty significant flaw that makes the app nearly unusable for playing music that you actually want to keep stored on your phone. Someone brought up the same issue in a review from October of last year, but it appears after 5-6 months, nothing has been done to solve the problem yet.
Use this app at your own risk and know in advance that if you play a song in the app, it’s probably not going to be on your phone anymore after Phazr has finished playing it.
Edit: I emailed the developer about the problem, and received a response the next day, and an update that fixed the problem was released shortly after. So I can much more confidently recommend this app now.

The latest update (1.8) works around the issue, which appears to be an OS bug.

Not it.
Cute and all but it can’t to anything unless you’ve paid and downloaded the music prior or have your mic on. Not how I want to experience my music. I was seriously hoping for some that can visualize the music I’m listening to on Spotify or YouTube music with my headphones. So I don’t have to be that weirdo playing their music out loud. Really disappointed honestly.

Great app
I really enjoy using the app and appreciate all the features. I was wondering if it might be possible to add haptic feedback when the screen is locked. Thank you for considering my suggestion!

Doesn’t work with Apple Music
I know it doesn’t say but it would be nice to mention it doesn’t work with Apple Music. Feels kind of intentional

Response from developer
I would support Apple Music but Apple does not allow third party developers to access raw audio data necessary for this app. The app description clearly states what kind of files are supported.
