It’s a very polished app for free and no ads. Thank you very much!! ### 5/5 — Best *2026-04-20, version 1.2.0* Really good! ### 5/5 — Best music player app I ever Use *2026-04-15, version 1.1.9* Love this app because no ad, minimal ,apple design language Make it more responsive, smoothly run by update 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 ### 5/5 — BEST Ad Free MP3 Player *2026-04-11, version 1.1.9* I Think It's The Best App To Listen MP3, Without Any Exhausted Ads. It Also Have Playlist And Search Bar, Which Is Not Available In VLC. But Developers Should Focus On This Topic: In The Files App Almost Every Good App Makes Folder. It Sould Also Make A Folder In Files App. Overall 10/10. ### 5/5 — Best *2026-04-11, version 1.1.9* The best app ### 5/5 — good *2026-04-08, version 1.1.9* good ### 5/5 — best app for ios *2026-04-07, version 1.1.9* ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Best n most underrated music app *2026-04-06, version 1.1.9* Can’t believe this guy made an app with no adds and no purchases required and a nice UI.👏👏 ### 5/5 — thumbs up emoji *2026-04-05, version 1.1.9* great app, got tired of soundcloud, and hated that i needed to manually restart my songs in the files when they end, and this solved that completely ### 5/5 — Brill 🙂 *2026-04-03, version 1.1.9* Simple but “Oh so GOOD 😊 ### 5/5 — THANK U *2026-04-02, version 1.1.9* THX FOR EXISTING EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS I LOVE IT I LOVE YOU THANKS WOOOHOOO ### 5/5 — 5 stars app *2026-03-29, version 1.1.8* I hope to add support for .cue and APE formats. This application is perfect for me. It would be great if I could manually adjust the order of songs in the playlist; sometimes the order gets scrambled after importing an album. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Top Tier App *2026-03-27, version 1.1.8* This app is so good, AND ITS FREE, AND LIQUID GLASS WITH AN ACTUALLY GOOD UI!??! I hooked up my server to it via files app and it worked perfectly and auto updated Here is some stuff to fix/add for the devs: 1. Lag, The new UI is hella laggy for iPhone 15 base model 2. Albums featuring other people shouldn’t be multiple albums(I hope you know what it mean) Ɛ. A way to pay the devs at the bottom of settings 4. Use song metadata for album order keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — So Awesome!! *2026-03-27, version 1.1.8* I love this app so far, ad free just how I like it. ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2026-03-25, version 1.1.7* Its perfect, no ads or anything. Idk why this isn’t more well known. The only thing is its a bit hard to organise songs by dragging them and there should be a setting that makes all the songs the same volume because they vary quite a bit (and having to constantly adjust the volume is a bit annoying). ### 5/5 — Best local music player *2026-03-20, version 1.1.6* 5 stars, although ive come across a problem recently, whenever i set a folder to sync as a scan folder, the app crashes and doesnt import any of the music in the folder ### 5/5 — last update is excellent! *2026-03-16, version 1.1.6* would be very nice if the music library could be accessed from within files.app...:) e! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Spent ages importing now the app won’t even open *2026-05-15, version 1.2.3* I’d love to like it but atm it’s not working for me Can’t handle any more than 6-7k songs by the looks of it An old iPod could… M5 IPad and 15 Pro ### 1/5 — Broke *2026-03-30, version 1.1.8* It worked fine up until the most recent update, now it crashes upon being opened. ### 1/5 — Laggy *2026-03-28, version 1.1.8* Unusable with all the lag ### 1/5 — Glorified music player *2025-12-11* Without downloading music manually this is useless **Developer response:** Thank you for using our app. For legal reasons it’s not allowed for apps to freely download music content, Steve’s Player allow you to bring your own music and manage the library and listen to it, I know this is basic functionality but it’s very hard to find a clean, simple and free app to do that. I hope you give Steve another chance and give it a 5 star review 🙏🙏 ### 3/5 — Infinite Loading *2025-12-30* If you select any song to load, it usually refuses to download it at all. ### 4/5 — Sorry but no *2026-03-07, version 1.1.3* Why is it so hard to just allow the user to select a folder or use a folder for files. Thanks for adding this. Would change to 5 stars for Set Artist to Default and a true folder browsing experience. ### 5/5 — Best Music Player *2026-05-15, version 1.2.3* This is the best music player I have tried. It is the only one that sorted my music correctly. UI is neat and clean. No problems with this app. ### 5/5 — Best music app on the app store?? *2026-05-12, version 1.2.3* I enjoy this app lots! No ads, no payment, and pretty user friendly. I especially like that my imported songs have lyrics, which I wasn't expecting. Definitely an underrated app. I do wish there was a widget I could add to my homescreen to control my songs from there, but other than that, I truly do enjoy this app! ### 5/5 — A great offline music app *2026-05-11, version 1.2.2* I love it, works perfectly fine. Hope to see it available on Apple Watch someday ### 5/5 — Best free music player *2026-05-09, version 1.2.2* I’ve been looking through so many apps like this, and this one is by far the best. But I wish I could put a custom image on playlists. Besides that it’s pretty good ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Options Out There *2026-05-08, version 1.2.2* I used a few of these local music players for my private collection. This is an excellent player with good categorization capabilities. Make sure you input artists and albums correctly. If you do… YOU GET A PLAYABLE ALBUM! It’s very good. Thanks Steve! ### 5/5 — PERFECT *2026-05-05, version 1.2.2* Finally an app that lets me upload via folder. It’s so annoying when all the other apps sort songs via their metadata and not by the folder I put them in myself. Haha. It is such a nice looking app too! And feature rich with favorites and everything you need. And no ads or anything annoying 🙏 THANK YOU ### 5/5 — Best offline-music app by far. *2026-05-04, version 1.2.2* This app is seriously amazing, it doesn’t lock features behind paywalls like other apps, it looks amazing and everything works amazingly. App also has no ads and is polished. Strongly recommend this amazing app ### 5/5 — True Ad-Free Listening *2026-04-30, version 1.2.2* Really one of the best music player apps I have ever tried. Clean UI and easy to use functions. There’s even a fair bit of customization. Highly recommend! Patiently praying and waiting for CarPlay functionality! 🙏 ### 5/5 — Best Offline Music Player *2026-04-28, version 1.2.1* Ad-free and offline. Easily add files via file explorer. I use mp3cow to pull YT MP3’s. ### 5/5 — Нашла на Reddit и теперь очень счастлива :) *2026-04-27, version 1.2.1* Спасибо огромное за такое прекрасное приложение!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
