Review SimpMusic?

Reviewers largely see SimpMusic as a polished, ad-free music app with a clean, Spotify-like interface, strong customization, background play, downloads, offline use, and handy YouTube and Spotify syncing. Many call it their main listening app and praise audio quality and ease of use. The main complaints are reliability and speed: songs can take too long to start, buffer, pause, or stop unexpectedly, and some users report crashes, lag, failed downloads, broken widgets, and playlist issues. Lyrics sync is another frequent weak spot.

What's great

It's a very nice app I use it a lot and highly recommend it. It's a very elegant experience.

What needs improvement

"I noticed an issue on Android 11 where the app crashes unexpectedly when browsing the library and playlists. On newer Android versions, the crash doesn't happen, but the app suffers from lag and sluggish performance even on powerful devices.Additionally, when applying audio effects like (Slowed&pitch) the audio suffers from choppiness and stuttering instead of playing smoothly.
Finally, as a feature request, it would be great to add a Visualizer / Audio Spectrum bar that moves dynamically with the bass and beat to improve the aesthetic experience. Overall, it's still a great appI recommend using this program💖💖🥰

What's great

Works great as an alternative to spotify/yt music. My only issues are that the playback view cuts out the control options on my Z Fold 8 (both screens) and that my podcast progress doesn't save so I need to keep track of where I last was or use a different platform. Otherwise I'm very satisfied

What's great

The app is already quite complete, it includes music downloads for offline listening, however, some songs display a "download failure" message that prevents the download from proceeding. But overall, the app is already very complete and much better than Spotify. I say this as a user for over 6 months.

What needs improvement

We have one issue that I think is extremely necessary to improve and resolve. Some songs, like "Cigarettes Out the Window" by TV Girl, cannot be downloaded because it shows a "download failure," but this also happens with other songs like "No Other Heart" by Mac DeMarco.

vs Alternatives

Primarily because it's free, ad-free, and offers the ability to download music for offline listening, making it more accessible and better compared to Spotify, whose free version is full of ads.

What's great

I think it's pretty great and comprehensive, almost too good to be true. The interface and how it manages to give that feeling that you're actually using Spotify or Apple Music is incredible.

What needs improvement

lyrics not in sync (9)

So, for some reason the lyrics are faster than the music, and that could be improved. I also think that just like it syncs with YouTube, it should sync with Spotify, so the playlists are there too.

vs Alternatives

Because other apps simply weren't up to par; when I went to the search engine, nothing I was looking for would load.

What's great

Descobri o SimpleMusic justamente procurando um bom aplicativo de música. Testei vários e esse simplesmente caiu do céu literalmente falando. Interface, configuração muito simples e objetiva + funções de Djs, muito top. Já dei 5 estrela pq é muito bom até na qualidade do áudio. Um pedido de um iniciante fã, poderiam corrigir esse bug que do nada para de tocar a música. Tem acontecido direto. Parabéns pelo App! Obrigado!

Absolutely fantastic app. Best one I've found. I can't believe that one person is keeping this alive all by him self! Great job. Keep it up!

What needs improvement

minor music playback issues (10)

I haven't had this problem until I just recently change my phone to the s24 but, when I tried to download a playlist then some of them would fail downloading. And when I try to play that playlist then the songs that failed to download would not play even when I'm on Wi-Fi.

vs Alternatives

It actually works. With minimal bugs and glitches.

Really good alternative to Spotify if you want no ads and better sound quality !!

Nice user-friendly interface with it's Material implementation and Liquid Glass aswell.

What needs improvement

I personally think that this app is already very good but there is some minor details like lyrics not totally in sync or login with Spotify not working.

vs Alternatives

You can download songs to play them offline,have no ads and benefit from Youtube premium sound quality all for free.

I love it. But when I turn off Wi-Fi, it says I don't have a YouTube playlist. I have to do it again. I love it, but when I turn off Wi-Fi, it says I don't have any YouTube playlists. I have to add them to my favorites for them to appear, and that's not good. I hope they fix that, please.

What's great

user-friendly interface (24)

I have been using it for a year now and I love it. Now shifting back to official YT music feels downgrade in experience. However I always wish if this could play song instantly as soon I click then it would be flowless.

What needs improvement

When we click on a song it take 5-6 second to start playing the song with a good Wi-Fi and if one was using cellular network then it would take even more time to start playing.
