### 5/5 — My best music streaming!

*2026-08-21, version 10.0.2*

Thank you!

### 2/5 — Trash

*2026-08-21, version 10.0.2*

App barely works
Also, why tf are you asking for my birthday and gender?

### 1/5 — Software glitches

*2026-08-20, version 10.0.2*

I am experiencing glitches where either the music disappears from Qobuz (no music for an artist all of a sudden). Also Qobuz connect with my Naim fails to stream mid song often

### 3/5 — This app has less songs than Spotify.

*2026-08-18, version 10.0.2*

I tried to search for a song I want, but it didn’t find what I was looking for.

### 5/5 — Came for the music, stayed for the software

*2026-08-18, version 10.0.2*

I’m simply amazed there are people who can still write fast, efficient software these days. This app rules, and the music selection and quality is outstanding.

### 2/5 — Least User Friendly, Most Unintuitive.

*2026-08-17, version 10.0.2*

It is insane the way basic features are not added to things like the music history (such as being able to see the track) and that if you have an entire queue set up it will delete the whole thing if you accidentally tap a song that you were trying to long press for unreasonably long. Im serious this app is a pain to use. I would just use spotify, but at least this way the artists get paid a more fair amount. I do not care how good the music sounds if accessing it is this unpleasant. Edit: And OH MY GOD allow me to turn off the auto loop mode for when i get in the car, AND AT LEAST ALLOW ME TO TURN OFF LOOP MODE AT ALL!!
Update: They redid the entire UI and while its somewhat more intuitive it still sucks so much. Queue clears when you accidentally start a new song, playing an album also puts it in the queue (why, theres literally a button to use that functionality) you cant go to a release by clicking the title of something, and there is STILL no way to block an artist or dislike a song. Oh and the search function is one of the worst ive used in an application on any device ever. I mean that. How are you this bad at app design. Do you even test your own app?.

### 2/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-17, version 10.0.2*

I recently tried to re-subscribe to this app because I wanted something that supports artist more.  Well I paid my 16.99 and it won't recognize my subscription.  No matter what I do it doesn't work just tells me to enjoy full tracks again and then when I check my subscription it tells me to subscribe I click subscibe and it tells me I am subscribed.  If they can't handle the sign in process than why bother.

### 4/5 — Everything pretty good but trash search engine.

*2026-08-16, version 10.0.2*

Way too hard to find a more obscure artist but other than that I’m happy especially since I’m not supporting the war monger over at Spotify.

### 4/5 — Better music reccs than spotify

*2026-08-15, version 10.0.2*

Switched to Qobuz from Spotty fries after hearing about their abysmal money grabbing practices and AI slop. I wasn't all that impressed at first since it was just a music replacement and there are some technical issues. Playback at higher quality levels works great over headphones but weirdly the bass is distorted over my car speakers. The feature to change sound quality to CD quality seems to fix the issue, which might just be a hardware problem on my part but is still weird. My other main gripe is with the search bar, which doesn't always show the most relevant results unless you type the song/album title exactly. Partial title info usually only works if the music is extremely popular and searching with lyrics doesn't seem to be supported, which I hope they implement in a future update. Despite all of these flaws, I am VERY happy with making the switch. Qobuz seems to be a very music oriented app that is genuinely intent on sharing the love with its user base through its editorial content and human curated recommendations front and center. What took me most by surprise is the radio algorithm. The music played on the radio stations that are based on your music is actually new and fresh picks, with only a limited number of familiar songs mixed in. I am very pleased with this, especially when I am most often listening at work and cannot queue on my own. The number of new songs that I'm actually enjoying because of this has sort of reawakened my love of music and made me excited to listen to new stuff that isn't a rehash of just the most popular songs by an artist. So overall, I am very satisfied with Qobuz and hope that they will continue to foster a love of music!

### 4/5 — Incredible sound quality but some issues

*2026-08-15, version 10.0.2*

The sound quality is by far the best out of every streaming service I’ve tried. I appreciate the lack of ai. My main issue is that it is sort of laggy if you have a large music catalog. Rn I have over 8,000 tracks in my library and I like to play them all on shuffle like on other streaming services, however, because of the quantity it only ever plays my A-C titled tracks on the shuffle or just goes on to auto play immediately after. If this were fixed it would by far the best streaming service on the market.
