### 3/5 — Nice, but…

*2026-08-26*

The UI for music is clean, and being able to assign functions to the buttons within it is very nice, but I wish the customization extended to the app’s “dock” at the bottom of the screen. I don’t like that things like the Fanzone and Home tabs can’t be removed. It’d probably be the perfect music app for me if I could set it up so that the app’s sole focus was on local files and their organization, rather than there being areas of the app that try to nudge you into participating in some kind of online “community”, or having yet another online account.

### 2/5 — Não é o que pensei.

*2026-08-18*

O Winamp é nome de musica e qualidade, mas o app deixou a desejar. Em pleno 2026 eu ainda uso o Winamp para Windows, e minha expectativa era sentir o mesmo nesse app. Mas, não tem skins para escolher e nem o visual do PC. O equalizador é bom, mas a interface precisa ser simples e facil igual o PC. Ao clicar em usar media local, não carrega as musicas do aparelho e nem permite carregar o transferir via wifi. Ao clicar nessa mesma opção aparece para personalizar e não saí dessa tela e precisa fechar. Espera mais do nome.

### 1/5 — Stupid?

*2026-08-11*

When i try to add music in my phone winamp expecting to me select each mp3 1 by 1. Who is the person that put this stupid feature in this app? Why we cant select a folder?

### 5/5 — Вполне юзабельно

*2026-08-03*

Приложение работает , треки подтянулись , есть эквалайзер, стильный дизайн , не знаю что у других не получилось…
Русского языка нет, хотелось был, чтоб добавили .

### 5/5 — Great for nostalgia

*2026-07-30*

The user experience of the app has really improved over time, I love that I can upload old music files from my childhood/younger years that I could never find on iTunes.

The personalization features are cool too if you like to customize the design.

### 4/5 — Childhood memories

*2026-06-26*

It has a lot of bugs, please fix the bugs on iPhone and iPad.

### 5/5 — Perfect player. No ads !

*2026-05-30*

U can find free music in player and no any ads.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-04-02, version 1.6.1*

It’s nice to know Winamp still lives on after all these years back in 90’s when I had it installed on my PC, now in an app format - extensive choice of radio channels, unbeatable. Keep up the good work team 👍

### 1/5 — Everything but an mp3

*2026-04-01*

I can’t make this up the entire experience is great but you can’t play mp3. It does not even try to play them.

### 3/5 — Found the app quite reviving but deleted it again

*2026-03-07, version 1.6.1*

As a vivid winamp user back in the days I found it funny that someone actually reviwed it for IOS. What a great idear.
It also has the equalizer and the sound is great. It has a special look, and seems pretty customizable, also the Mix radio was a nice touch. It could use iCloud I think and Box account. But that is pretty much where the fun stops.
I had a severely hard time actually stopping the music again. There simply were no button at all to start or stop the music.. you have to play something new and be fast to stop it else the player keeps playing!  And the main issue would of course be getting music on your device, which was different on a pentium back in the days. In the end I think I rather have a copy of the old player like it originally was I think. At least I could stop the music. I also miss gdrive, dropbox accesss or direct sync, since there is no dvd drive on my iphone… 
But I like the app is light and has good quality.. I never did test m4b or other audiobook files than what was in my apple music library at the moment.
