Golden Ear for Negative User Reviews
✓ Good player!This app is hack of player, but please improve the user interface so that users can create nested folders! With a primitive UI like this, my classical music is going to mixed with jazz, and my Beethoven is going to meet Nora Jones....Version: 1.5
✓ No gapless playback, no supportThere are short pauses between each track despite the description specifically stating that playback is seamless. As anyone else that listens to FLAC files, I am looking for as close to perfect playback as possible & this app is useless for that. I sent an email to the developer's support link, but have received no reply. Charging what they do for the app yet delivering one that does not perform as advertised is inexcusable..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Does not work!Bought this today. I tried it on my iPad 3 and iPhone 5 with 24/96 Flac and ALAC. It does to work at all. How cani get my money back?.Version: 2.8.1
✓ A Possibly Stellar Application Ruined By Fatal FlawsThis is a stylish, well made (in the core features) application for listening to music save but a couple things that utterly ruin it as an application. Plays flac files (and other formats like mp3 files), this is great, and was my key need for a player on my iPod, to save time loading it up. What's horrible about this app and breaks it: 1. Random playback is utterly broken. It randomly plays a song alright, song to song, yet somehow, shockingly, bafflingly, instead of using Apple's own inbuilt player mechanism (I would think they could do, I may be wrong), or coding a decent one of their own, the Golden Ear developers have coded a random/shuffle song option where it does not remember what songs have been played before it in a collection/playlist. So you have say, 50 songs, play a song, randomly shuffles to the next new song, and then after that song, the player will not remember that the 2 previous songs have already been played and should therefore be excluded from the random songs selection going forward, and may well play either of them again. This is shockingly and bafflingly broken. I can't understand how other people haven't mentioned it yet, maybe they just haven't noticed it yet, it took me awhile to notice it. I'm not just whining, scenario where this annoys me in my life: I take my ipod with playlist and plug it in to my work radio, I keep most of my files at home stored as flacs, so I was happy to have this solution instead of constantly converting files for my ipod, but it's no solution at all since when I try to put on a "playlist for the day" half the songs keep coming up again and again. Thanks for making me waste my money on your app Golden Ear devs. 2. The 2nd glaring issue, as if the first one wasn't bad enough, is that the app will randomly cut off some songs early in the last 10 seconds or so to jump to the next song. I'm not imagining that, it can sometimes take awhile to notice, perhaps an hour or more of listening (as it doesn't happen with every song, or most, fortunately), but it absolutely does happen, I've verified it multiple times with multiple identical files between my PC player (Winamp) and different sessions with Golden Ear on my iPod. So, other than these 2 issues, there are a lot of amazing features, I'd say a darn near perfect, slick looking music app. So close to perfection, but so drastically ruined by bad coding and testing that the app is unusable for me in the (very normal) context I'd expect to use it in, which forces me to give it a 1 star review. If both of these issues are fixed in a future update, I will gladly update my review to a 5 star review, or a 4 star review if they simply fixed the random playback memory issue, as the app is now though it is just a waste of money..Version: 2.6
✓ AmicTGood app with a lot of promise. Developer always responds & is helpful. However, app crashes very often when unlocking my iPod, which is annoying. Also, only plays certain FLAC & WAV files. Hopefully, future updates will make it run even better..Version: 1.4
✓ Zero functionality for 96khzGet the Onkyo Hi Fi player for iPhone instead. Works for iPad with the $10 hd upgrade and outputs 196khz from iPad or iPhone to my external Geek 1000 dac. You have to search in iPhone only apple App Store to find it, doesn't show up in iPad apps. Removing Golden Ear from my devices. No developer response ever. Wasted $8. I am disappointed to report that this app does not play 24bit 96khz aiff or wav files on my IPad 4. No sound from the speakers or headphone or USB ports using apple camera control kit. I've installed it twice. No response from my feedback to the developer. Be aware that there is no recourse or refund other than the developer for an app that does not function. At this point, I'm out eight bucks. If he contacts me I'll repost here and let you know. As of this point, don't throw your good money after mine..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Will this support DTS ?If so,that will be great..Version: 2.0
✓ Improving needed!I'm writing while I'm listening an ape file. The sound quality is crystal clear. But there is a problem in the app when running from the background, only at the beginning stutters then stabilises and it's perfect. I tried with 16bits 44khz files and 24bits 96khz, ape and flac. Again the sound quality is not going to disappoint. I'm using an iPhone 3GS with senheisser ie8 in-ear. Why 3 stars only? That's the problem of writing an app for audiophiles... We are picky!.Version: 1.5
✓ Cheating!It can't play any *.dts files. I just bought it minutes ago, how can I get refund?.Version: 3.0.9
✓ I put some .wav files on there and it crashed it over and over c ok for flackI put wav files on there and it crashed over and over. Ok for FLAC..Version: 2.8.1
✓ 居然不支持CUE文件open in如题。 其它app里的cue文件不支持用这个软件打开！.Version: 2.8.1
✓ It does the job.Works as advertised. Hope to see many improvements and new features in the future as the app doesn't come cheap ;).Version: 1.4
✓ Broken on iphone6Crash city…. can on;y listen to one song at a time…. unable to play albums…. I love this app but something bad happened with the update.Version: 3.0
✓ Need a way to play sequentially in album folderNeed a way to play sequentially in album folder without adding files to queue. Play fro here function is only available inside queue. This is a pain..Version: 3.0.9
✓ No MP3 SupportThis app does not support MP3 files.Version: 1.5
✓ Very unstable even on iphone4It plays the FLAC files but that is why I bought it at first place. Other than that, it is very slow to load and switch songs. if phone goes to auto-lock or standby and if you turn it back to normal mode, it stops the music and get unstable again. This app needs loads of testing before release. It looks like the worst beta version of an iphone app. I removed it from my phone and started converting my flac albums to apple lossless format to play normally on ipod app..Version: 1.4
✓ Please add Dlna support.Good player, but without dlna, nas, meda renderer control (play to.. function) it's useless :(.Version: 2.6
✓ Golden EarVery poor app. I feel compelled to say I regret purchasing this app. Will play 192khz files on my iPad but only in 44khz format, so what is the point? Sound quality is no different to normal iTunes cd quality tracks..Version: 2.9.3
✓ Dsf文件不能播放Can't play .dsf files，thank you!.Version: 3.1
✓ HmmFLAC Player is a much better app. No dock controls on Golden Ear, it's hard to change the volume on this one (on FLAC Player is just like the iPhone) I had some problems playing FLAC files, they skipped a bit, I have not experienced any skips with FLAC player, which I use every single day (all my music collection is FLAC) It is nice to search by artist or albums, and the shuffle feature is something very useful. Nice interface, nicer than FLAC player's, bur still I'd recommend FLAC player anytime. Also, that icon?? What were the developers thinking? An angel?? Very lame..Version: 1.2
✓ Could be a lot betterI mean it does what It says it does but the menu is very hard to navigate and not intuitive at all. this app's menu system needs to be thoroughly re done. I can't believe I payed 8$ for this app..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Not ready for prime timeJust got worse after iOS 12.1, songs skipping frequently. Stuttering like an old 45 record player. Copy from Golden Ear using file sharing fails on iOS 11.4. Cannot import songs from the iCloud file folder. You have to email them to yourself and import it into the inbox. You can’t search your playlists only Artist list. Shuffle groups songs by the same artist, it does not shuffle the way most music apps do. Does not backup to iCloud even though it claims to in settings. The biggest problem with music apps on iOS is they are seldom updated leaving the user with only one option to buy another one..Version: 3.1
✓ Wish it could play flac file without cueIt plays .flac files as long as you have a .cue file for that album or song. I have lots of albums with no cue files so this app is disappointing. The player will not open if you have just one song that doesn't include a specific .cue file. The organizing of the files could be better, there is no search option. You have to keep scrolling, and there is no separation of songs or albums unless your .cue file states that their is multiple songs in one .flac file. In which case it shows a slight indent in the song title (hard to notice if you have lots of songs to sort though. This app has a lot of potential if there was a search, but mostly lost my rating because of the lack of support of .flac files without .cue file..Version: 1.0
✓ Really wanted it to workOrganization, not good, play back ok (until songs cut out and skips to the next track). Which happens often. Use of album info, not good cover art gets selected to wrong album, even after naming everything the same for the album. To bad, DELETED APP..Version: 2.8.1
