Coule be THE app but one thing I find very annoying : when playing something in a folder, if I tap the back button, it brings me back to the default folder instead of the upper folder of the current song. One bug I see sometimes: for some files, the album art embedded in the mp3 is not displayed when it's displayed by other app

I love the ability to play songs by the folders I have them arranged in rather than their ID3 tags, which a lot of my songs don't even have. The only thing i can think of that I'd like to see in this app is the ability to return to a song I accidentally skipped while shuffling. Every other thing about this app is perfect.

So many settings, shows all files, options for repeat, loop, and everything else I want in a music app! This is the best music app I've ever seen! :) Everything I want! No complaints! Been using for 6 months. I can go to the folder where they all songs are and find all my songs myself without the app attempting to do it for me, which is really nice! Because when other apps do it for me, they miss a lot of songs and its super annoying.

it's has very basic, easy to navigate interface, nearly minimalist look. For listeners who care for audio only, nothing more.

Some flac files had failed to play, crashing the whole app, but despite that it's been the best music player I have used in a while.

great, use it for playing any music not on my Spotify. only niggle is that randomising music can cause same songs to play multiple times in a row as it actually randomises as it goes rather than just shuffling the playing order or the playlist.

why do you put equalizer if I'll end up putting my device equalizer the apps equalizer is horrible and "equalizer" mine is not the way how i want it which things are missing on mine an equalizer should be bass boost and virtualizer which mine don't have please add an equalizer on your app not from device please fix on next update thank you for reading this

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, very powerful responsive UI, uses only 7MB, adjustable "jump" (aka REW and FF on tape players) is essential for checking out new and especially precision position in long audio files. Perfect for huge SDCARDs full of content. Im a stoked new user to this app, thank you for developing it!

Infuriating app. No matter where I save a file, Foldplay will not open it from a folder, and the error message is that there is no file. A downloaded file plays once, then the next time I try to play it, again, the app says there is no file. I just paused a song mid-play, and when I tried to restart it, the app said it did not exist. While I was looking at it IN Foldplay. Right there. Uninstalled.

Exactly what I wanted, light, simple with minimal details. One enhancement: Shuffle repeat the same song many times, you supposed to exclude played songs from the random play

Lightweight, intuitive, customisable... Best player I've found/used in years - heck even the app icon is fresh!... Lockscreen controls would be a welcome addition.

It's nice to have an app that uses my folder structure as the play list. The interface is kinda cryptic and the controls are small even when setting it for large icons. No instructions. Also, early 2020 it started shuffling the folder after every song, so the next and back buttons come up with different songs, if I forward past a song I want, I can't get it back. This is annoying in the car when I only have next and back buttons on the console. I also often get the same song within minutes.

This music player provides a simple and slick interface with many options for playing your music from their folders. By displaying the music files based on their file names, you can maintain the order in which you want to hear the songs based on the file names, which is very convenient if you have a certain way you want to hear a soundtrack that is different from the way in which the soundtrack was originally arranged in its album. The interface with my Bluetooth watch worked great.

I like a lot this app, it's simple and functional. But it has some issues that i'd like to ask.. The option Shuffle/Random only works by repeating songs in the playlist? I can't deactivate this repetition, the Repeat button is off btw. On and off it doesn't work. The time display on long audios is only showing in minutes? Like, 100 minutes? Doesn't it have hours display? If does, how can i set it??

Since I organize my music in file folders, this is a great app for me. Can you make an option to remember the order of song plays in random mode? When you hit the back button it picks another random song the same way you'd expect from the forward button. Turning off shuffle won't do this. I want shuffle going forward but I want to preserve the queue going backward.

I LOVE the folder idea, have been trying to find something like this for a while! However, after a few days of use the lock screen play controls don't work. Received an important phone call & had to scramble to unlock the phone, navigate to the app itself (widget didn't respond either) & find the play controls there to get the music to stop. Tried restarting phone, deleting/re-adding the screen widget, & uninstall/reinstall the app. To add to inconvenience, no help contact info in the app! :-(

THE best. So useful, better than some paid apps. The speed change is smooth as butter unlike some paid app that starts to stutter when slowing the speed. Two requests: One is for the seek button for fast forward and backward to be further down so that I don't accidentally press the seek bar instead. Two is to allow to keep screen always on. Thanks. 10 stars.

Finally found a music app that will create playlists based on Actual folder structure. I have my music organized by a genre folder with music folders under each genre. All other players don't recognize folders without a music file inside. This one does! So now I can select the genre folder (which only contains other folders) and it will play ALL music inside all subfolders!!! YES!! THANK YOU!!! I can even select multiple folders and easily create playlists! Keep up the great work!

I really like the FP concept, however there's a problem I've experienced on several Andrds I have (4.4, 7, 8). Often, upon plugging in the headphones, the app goes into a berzerk loop through the folder songs, not playing any of them. Difficult to get it to stop.. My settings are 'Repeat All' and 'Resume on Plug In' (actually also happens w/out having 'Resume' turned on.. ).

Works fine too access and play MP3 files on my phone, but I had an odd experience with adding files after setting up initial folder preferences (I couldn't navigate to the new files). I uninstalled, then reinstalled the app to clear up the issue (selected different folder). I would like better recognition of earbud commands (sometimes I have to pull out my phone to pause and restart) I would like speed control.
