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.
Can’t use it even though I would love to.
The app will just take up space on my IPad because I can’t even use it with Apple Music. I wanted this to work so bad. I was excited
does not work with apple music
It should be more obvious in the description that this app does not work with apple music or i’m assuming any other streaming service. extremely disappointed
Possible bug: files deleted after playing
Under airplane mode, no permission to Apple Music/media, and playing music by selecting files from another app (VLC), the files completely disappear after playing. No trace in Recent, Recently Deleted, or their original place. Please investigate if this is a problem with the app or not. iOS 26.0.
Response from developer
This turned out to be an OS-level issue. The latest version of Phazr (1.8) has a workaround.
Don't waste your money - joke
Waste of money
Best Purchase Ever
I agree with the first comment. First time to be excited doing this review. Thank you for creating this app. Create more outstanding apps pls. Looking for an AI MUSIC VIDEO creator that I can link my own music 🙏❤️
Just what I wanted
Awesome App. Was looking for a simple visualizer for my sequencers that listened through the mic, and this exceeded my expectations! Great job and nice design.
worth it!!!
as a artist and listener perspective!!! amazing development on this app! hope for new features and visuals soon!!! ⛓️💥🔥💓😌
Nearly what I need
If it kept playing when the screen was off, it’d be perfect. Love the haptics with the music.
Worth it
As a music producer, needed something to spice up visualising my audio for my audience on social media. This looked awesome form the preview, and after paying and using it, I can confirm, it is AWESOME. Super super sexy design, clean, quick response, not to mention it’s just simply pretty. It’s so easy on the eye and genuinely super well designed.

Good but music should not come from direction of app
I just got this working with downloaded music, but what’s not great is that the music comes from the UI interface in fact when you hit the X button, it closes the music but what I really want is to be able to hide and immerse myself in visualization and for the music to be all around me, not coming from the app

Response from developer
As of version 1.6.2, music should no longer be localized to the window. If you’re still having issues, contact me at phazr@phazr.app.
Great! But
I love the app. Found a little laggy in the beginning because of the delay for the menu options to load up. Please add the support for background playback with the vibrations.
Akhil.jpegResponse from developer
Unfortunately background vibration playback isn’t available for developers. For the menu option lag, please email me at phazr@phazr.app and I can look into it.
Amazing app, one small issue.
When I upload a song to the app, it ends early but says it's the same length as in my files.
Absolute Gold
Nothing much to say except that this is a 10/10 app for anyone who appreciates synesthesia and well-made products.
Can’t get app to work
I cannot get the app to play any of my music
Best visualizer ever
This app is very very good for visualization without ads that go across your screen and it’s a full-size screen for the visualizer. Easy control and fun to watch.
