Great but barebones

As someone who collects a lot of music, I wanted to find an app where I could bring my music with me everywhere. I came across several but many of them had a ton of frustrations such as not playing files correctly, intrusive ads, or frustrating file management. This app was one I came across and decided to give a try. So far, this is the best sounding music player I have tried, and plays all my files properly, however it is very barebones. Things such as playlists, shuffle and repeat do not exist. While I normally don’t utilize these features as I just listen to albums, they’re something that would be nice to have and I know it’ll be a dealbreaker for some. The one thing that annoys me though is the lack of a metadata editor. This is something that is very helpful and the lack of it is jarring and a little frustrating. This being said, this is still the best flac player on the app store and i can put up with the absence of those features as it is the best app to play flac files. If an update adds those features in, I’ll change my rating.

Just needs repeat and shuffle

Perfect and uncomplicated. I have been using Neutron Player up to this point and am happy with it’s performance however you need a PHD to look at the settings. Decoupled is everything I need if you would only add repeat and shuffle. If you do that please add a donation version that doesn’t offer anything other than a chance for me to pay you for your efforts through the Apple Store.

Absolutely perfect

This is the perfect music player. It is the only app I have ever found—music player or otherwise—that has NOTHING extra. No bells, no whistles, no ads, no subscriptions, no “upgrades”, no pop-ups, nothing that isn’t absolutely necessary and working exactly as advertised. It plays locally stored files, reads tags, displays album art, has a graphic EQ, and looks/feels more like a native iOS app than some actual native iOS apps.Decoupled does the things you want it to do and doesn’t do the things you don’t want it to do. Period.I cannot stress this enough: if you need a music player that Just Works, this is the one. You found it. Stop looking, stop reading. Get after it. 👍

No Art. No Sorting. No Settings

(iPhone 11 Pro/iOS 15.6.1) This app literally has no settings. No options to sort, hide or order things like albums, artists, genre. Files embedded with cover art and/or with the image file in the same folder do not appear. UI is drab and boring. I think app developers should be paid for their work, but I think developers that make apps like this when they lack less features, or offer nothing significantly different than the stock app should be explicitly forthcoming in the description about what their app doesn’t do as much as what it does. I mean, it plays files the stock app won’t. This is literally all the app is capable of on my phone.

Has most of what I need, but missing two features

This player has an FTP server built in in order for easy music uploading to your device. It also plays opus files, which is great since that opus has the performance for its file size and I haven’t found another player on iOS that does that.However, this app has two pretty glaring issues:- The shuffle is missing which is a huge bust since that I like to listen to my whole library casually. I usually listen by album, but I like the option to shuffle.- No playlists. This isn’t as big of a deal for me personally, but I wouldn’t mind creating a dedicated playlist just for working out or chilling out.Overall great app design and wonderful layout, just missing a couple of features that would make it “complete.”

Great app, but there’s an issue

Let me start this off by saying this is hands down the best local file player I’ve used. I’ve gone through a lot of them trying to find something that would work right, and not only is Decoupled functional, but it works exactly how I need it to…Except for one issue. When I have an album where the tracks have varying bitrates (I.e. Death Grips EP), the individual tracks are split up into separate albums by bitrate. Since they all have the same album metadata, they should all show up together on the same album. Instead, they are separated and out of order, making me unable to listen to the albums in full.If the developer could fix this one issue where no matter the bitrate, all songs would be on the same, correct album, this app would be perfect!

Wonderful app for those wanting simplicity + super responsive developer

I am slowly transitioning away from streaming services and moving towards mostly purchasing CDs and digital music. I hated many of the extra features and recommendations that streaming services provide and wanted a minimalistic app so much that I was going to try to write my own—however, now I don’t need to because I found this app! The user interface is gorgeous and I like that it can play many types of files and that it is completely separate from Apple Music. When I initially started using it, I noticed that it would not play ALAC files, so I reached out to the developer who responded to me and fixed the bug within 2 hours!!! I definitely recommend this app to anyone who owns music and/or is feeling tired of streaming services and their “features”. Thank you Tamás for making this available for free!

Great app but it needs more features!

This app is great, it does exactly what it advertises, and collects no data. However, it lacks modern options like custom playlists, and shuffle. Also, while it is straightforward to share music to the app, it would be nice to have an option within the app to add local files without switching back and forth between safari. Other than that, it is an amazing app, just with some wasted possibilities.

Perfect for My FLAC Library

There are so few non-subscription offline music apps in the App Store, which tells me that their creators didn’t remotely understand the point of tediously gathering a whole music collection. The whole point is that you buy something and then it’s yours and you don’t have to pay a stupid monthly or yearly fee to retain access to it. The creator of this app seems to of understood that very well. The interface is beautiful and it works very well. I love the way that album artwork is displayed, and the FTP transfer option made moving my music collection from my computer to my phone a breeze. My only complaint would be that it doesn’t seem to have any iPad version of the app, which is a shame because the iOS app is really good!

Still nothing better for FLACs

I’ve been using Decoupled daily for about three months. Now and then I’ll search for an app that better suits me; I’ve found nothing yet.The one issue that I’d like the developer to resolve is the apparent limit on the cover flow view: it seems that it’s limited to about 100 covers. This is a minor point, as all tracks are available from other views. But I’d still really like to see all of my albums in the cover flow view.

Description

- Do you like music streaming services? - Do you enjoy companies telling you what you should listen to each week? - Did you stop buying music years ago? If you answer with "yes" to any of these questions, Decoupled wasn't made for you. Sorry.

However, if you... - Still buy and own records - Have a developed taste and/or a vast music collection - Listen to music in formats like FLAC, Opus, or Vorbis (Ogg) then you should definitely give it a shot! Some of its features: - Playback of a wide range of formats: FLAC, Vorbis (Ogg), Opus, Apple Lossless, MP3, AAC, WAV. - Gapless playback - 10-band equalizer - Music sync through USB, via iTunes File Sharing - Music sync without iTunes via FTP, WebDAV, or a simple Web browser! - Hardware codec utilization for longer battery life.
