Decoupled Hack 1.1.2 + Redeem Codes

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!

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.

This isn’t an app for everyone. But if you are one of the people it appeals to, you will see it instantly. This app lets you play your audio files (in a variety of formats) stored locally on your device. It’s a simple premise, but so many apps would bungle the experience by pestering you to sign up for their streaming service, serving you up advertisements constantly, etc. On top of that the app is free and it doesn’t track any user data. I poked around online and saw that Tamas didn’t want to monetize the app, that he would just be happy to see it get used. Beautiful.

There’s a level of power user that will demand a finer level of control over their library that may need to look elsewhere, but if you just have a basic library structure, I found the experience to be very user-friendly. Decoupled is now my favorite app on my phone.

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!

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. 👍

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!

I love this app but there's a few bug such as even though it's paused it will stay play music or the pause button doesn't update and the album cover doesn't show if the file is m4a (unless I make a folder and add the album cover separately). I hope in the future webm audio and wav 32bit float gets added then this app will be perfect. Please update this app it's the best audio player available right now.

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.

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.

(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.
