### 2/5 — Tap to play is broken

*2021-02-16, version 5.3*

Some nice visual updates to this version, but now I can’t get songs to play. I’ve tried everything from killing the app to updating and restarting my phone but this just won’t work on my iPhone XR.

### 1/5 — Would give it NO stars if I could

*2013-05-09, version 2.0*

This is a DOWNGRADE app constantly crashes. Totally unusable!

### 1/5 — Poor updating

*2013-04-27, version 2.0*

The app update on iPhone 5 killed my entire downloaded library.  Hello?  Library compatibility??  "Just go ahead and re-download everything," says customer support. If I only could see the library content to remember everything.

### 2/5 — Almost there...

*2012-09-08, version 1.1*

This app is this------close to being perfect. It's chopping off the first few second of downloads, which is pretty frustration. Please fix this and I'll give 5 stars.

### 1/5 — No multitasking support

*2010-12-17, version 1.0.1*

This app NEEDS ios 4 multitasking support to be useful..

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work.

*2024-04-02*

It doesn’t work at all. Songs don’t play.

### 1/5 — Can’t play music

*2024-03-03*

It won’t let me play anything

### 1/5 — An endless circle of nothing

*2023-03-17*

I have the app on my phone and when I click to login, I get sent a verification email. When I click the link it sends me to the App Store, where I click Open to launch the app, where the same circle starts. For some reason, the app never responds to the verification link and always sends me to the App Store to seemingly download the app, but since I already have it, it just starts the cycle. One would think that after many months of others noting the same issue, it could be resolved.

### 1/5 — Needs serious fixes

*2022-11-04, version 5.3.2*

This app needs some serious work. From not being able to login (clicking on the account verification login email only takes me to the App Store, it doesn’t actually log in the app like it’s supposed to - even after deleting the app and restarting the phone) and also the app doesn’t always play the songs when selecting them. Super clunky app.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2022-08-19, version 5.3.2*

From not playing tracks to not fully displaying the info graphics, this app is a total letdown

### 1/5 — MPE Player

*2022-01-20, version 5.3.2*

They don’t recognize my password and when I click “forgot password”they send to my email a link to the app which I already have downloaded. So I can’t access MPE player.

### 1/5 — No playback

*2020-11-01, version 5.0*

This is a music preview app but it’s not playing music. Makes it obsolete/useless

**Developer response:** Hi. Sorry to hear you are having trouble getting tracks to play. Please contact support@plaympe.com and someone can walk you through it no problem.

### 1/5 — Having issues

*2020-10-23, version 5.0*

For some reason I can’t get music to play. It started with the new update.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we are sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. Feel free to reach out to support@plaympe.com and someone would be happy to help.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, no help from support

*2020-08-05, version 4.0.1*

And it’s been like this for more than a week.

### 1/5 — Upgrade?

*2019-05-15, version 4.0.1*

No more options to arrange songs in playlists?  This is clunky and not user friendly.

### 5/5 — ¡Lo mejor!

*2021-10-16, version 5.3*

Sin duda alguna lo recomiendo 100%

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!!

*2013-04-26, version 2.0*

This app is pretty hype!!

### 5/5 — Multitasking FINALLY!

*2011-09-02, version 1.1*

Finally Multitasking,
thank you!
Now if you could only update that horrid logo. :^)

### 5/5 — THE BEST!

*2009-10-13, version 0*

This is the best way to get music esspecially if you are in the radio business like me!

### 4/5 — Great app when on the move!

*2011-12-12, version 1.1*

It likes to chop off the front of the songs when you download them but this is a great tool for music calls or previewing adds when on the road.  Nice job!

### 3/5 — Good but still needs work

*2010-09-23, version 0*

It's definitely helpful to listen to potential new adds any where I am. Love that I don't have to burn a CD or be at my computer at work, but I wish a couple of things would be fixed/changed. There's no way to delete songs from "my library" even after they're no longer avaiable to listen to. So they just take up space. I also have a bunch of empty song slots in my library. It shows an info button and download button, but it's blank. Besides those annoyances it works pretty well.

### 3/5 — leomar

### 2/5 — Please Fix Bugs!

*2022-07-03, version 5.3.2*

I need this app to work. Sadly, it fails every day. Randomly decides to stop playing or even responding. Have to delete and download a fresh copy constantly, the only way to fix it, which something only works for a song or two before breaking again. So frustrating!!!

### 2/5 — Needs Serious Fixes

*2022-03-16, version 5.3.2*

I’m a new music director at a radio station, and was SO excited when I found the Play MPE app. I was having to sit down at my computer to listen to new releases, and with this, I could do that anywhere easily. But I literally have to reinstall the app once a day, sometimes more. It randomly stops responding and won’t allow you to play any music, which is of course the entire point of the app for me. If this worked properly, I’d love it.

### 2/5 — Have to reinstall all the time

*2021-07-20, version 5.3*

I’m a music director at a radio station and I use PlayMPE quite a bit to listen and download music. I love that they have an app so I can just put my headphones on and listen to my playlists on my phone from home, but every day I have to reinstall the app because nothing happens when I press play. It’s like it doesn’t recognize that I’ve hit the play button. 

The app is great when it works, though.
