Did work. Now it doesn't. Avoid. All ok until the smartphone upgraded to Marshmallow and DoubleTwist couldn't keep up with changes. Most of functions didn't work. DoubleTwist still trying to sort their lives out. No doubt will be up with times only for Marshmallow to change to something else and them still not with the times. Avoid. Poor customer services who blame everything and everyone but themselves. I think most of the 5* votes here are fake.

Works great with airplay! Playing though my apple TV. Syncs perfectly with iTunes. Great work. Excellent app. This the next best thing to owning an iPhone again...maybe better. [4/15/16 update] Rarely works with airplay and latest Apple TV. I'm sure it's Apple's fault but the app is currently useless to me. I select the 'on' slider for AppleTv and it just clicks on then off again. Lowering rating from 5 to 2 until it's fixed. Never mind, it was my VPN. Back to 5 stars!

Dpecent App Searched for quite a while to find an app to stream to my Zeppelin Air (previous IOS user), some apps worked intermittently but DoubleTwist is generally quite stable. A few database related hiccups now & again but that's what s/w versions / upgrades are for right... Like the UI, decent design & extremely user friendly. Well worth the money & would definitely recommend.

Benjamin Curry

Arguably the best music platform on Android with one caveat. I've owned double twist for years. I've purchased it 3 times for 3 new phones. It's fast, intuitive; covers playlists, podcasts, and downloaded audio books. It's just great! The one thing I would like to see the developers change is the download button for podcasts. Move it ever so slightly away from the track bar on the right hand side of the screen. It's easy to lose your place and get thrown through a list of hundreds of old podcasts because the DL button and track bar are almost on top of each other.

Be aware that this app, which has been AWESOME on Android 4 & 5, does not yet support storage on the SD card with Android 6 (Marshmallow) at least on a Samsung phone. Hopefully the vendor will update the APIs as other apps still support storage on the SD card with 6.0.1 Until then I don't have enough memory to hold my usual song library :-( I know they are trying to push folks to the cloud player, but that app doesn't work as well for some and I've already paid for prem on this app. Please Fix the SD card storage!!

T Strayer

Super! Reliable, no surprises! Hey love this! First, thanks for listing company location. It mattered when i considered going Pro. Which I did. Love this app! No fan of "cloud" so please keep developing this version. Wishlist for car-voice commands for next/fwd and last/back, stop, and play, if possible. New Request April 2016: Random shuffle always seems same order, presume shuffle chooses next track in list via formula, if so is possible to complicate up the formula a bit so it changes up order differently each use? Many Thanks!!

I cannot give this app 5 stars. I'd give it 3, but that would NOT be fair. As far as music apps for Android go that work with iTunes, this is the best out there. My issue with this app is syncing. For whatever reason, it will not sync all the songs. It sometimes has to be synced a few times to get most of them, and even then it isn't all. Good app, just fix the sync issues, and it's a solid 5 stars.

Still lacking basic features Bought it a long time ago for podcasts since it was the best I could find. But i will look for alternatives since some basic features are still missing. No way of marking a podcast as listened (or vice versa). Most other podcast players have an option of speeding up playback 1.5x, 2x etc. This does not.

Jason Doucette April 3, 2016

Meh! Bought to play music from my Mac to my Android. Definitely NOT as seamless as they advertise. I had to buy AirSync on top of this and it took a VERY long time to sync. To this day I'm still missing songs and when syncing the program likes to double (even tripple) the songs with each attempted sync. I would NOT recommend this as an iTunes alternative.

Sorry to hear you experienced issues. Could you reset the app by going to doubleTwist Settings and select "Reset doubleTwist"?

Great app, very easy to use especially when syncing iTunes playlists , like the lock screen controls as well. Update as of July 2016 - Unfortunately the SD card storage does not work on Android 6.0.1 so right now this app is very limited because all my music does not fit on my phone's memory. Also it would be nice when the phone is locked to be able to skip tracks with the volume buttons like some other apps have it. And the widget should have an option to put it semi transparent. But My main concern is the SD card storage issue.

Ronald Mitchell April 12, 2016

Got worse hopeful for fix. Ever since the marshmallow os update double twist has duplicated all the songs that were saved to my sd card. The songs will have the right artist and title but wont play and the duplicated track will have the right title but say unkown artist and play properly. Have checked the sd card and had the phone to looked at by a sprint technician. This didnt happen before update. And make playlist easier to create.

Not worth it Definitely don't spend money on this. It was great for the first week, but now it takes multiple tries to get one album uploaded vote via WiFi, and when I upfront for the album artwork, it only gave me half of the images, the other half are still blank. 10 dollars not well spent.

Sync I was really happy to finally find an app that automatically sync my music to all my android devices. This was before I tested it. I can sync my playlist.. But only 2 out of the 14 syncs. The same thing is happening with the songs. I am able to sync 4 songs out of the whole bunch (around 400). If I resync, my songs I previously sync get remove and 4 new one appears. What the f? It does that to all my android devices. Fix? Please reimburse me.

Almost perfect. I've been following DoubleTwist since I was 15, it has improved a lot. But I keep having problems with it, small ones. Sometimes tags doesnt show up correctly, for example: Missing album art, "Unknown Album, Artist, etc.", I have edited the tags uncountable times and they keep appearing incorrectly. Aside of that, the player is perfect.

A Google User June 8, 2016

USB sync failure, OS X not supported Mac OS X app never detects the device connected with USB. Reply from doubleTwist: That's because Macs do not support the MTP file protocol. You need to use AirSync instead, which syncs over WiFi. So doubleTwist is suggesting that their desktop app doesn't support OS X, go purchase AirSync! Well, goodbye doubleTwist. Hello iSyncr!

Replaced several other players Update has now made it so equalizer has to be restarted every song. Can uou fix this please? Had podcast player, music player, radio, and equalizer apps...replaced them all worth this one and it kept my play lists, stations, and podcasts! Awesome!

Joshua Mattison April 11, 2016

Not useful for me This app may be useful for some people, but I was unable to put a single song onto my phone because all of my iTunes songs are protected by DRM. If you own a portable apple device of any type, just save yourself time and use that for your music.

James Delnort April 23, 2016

Continually Stops Playing After Upgrade I've loved this app for years and bought the paid version. After the most recent upgrade my podcasts stop playing in the middle of playing over and over again. Will have to abandon Doubletwist and find another choice if it's not corrected soon. Thanks.

doubleTwist ™ May 1, 2016

Sorry to hear you experienced issues. Try rebooting your phone and/or changing the Settings for "Headset/Car Controls" and "Respect Audio Focus" under Player Settings. If it happens again please come by our public group and post more details so we can investigate. Google "doubleTwist public community" for the link. Thanks!

Paul Sullivan June 21, 2016

Just simply doesn't work, at all I've been wrestling with this app on and off for the past 6 months and paid £8 for wireless music play, which doesn't work either. When I eventually sync, only half the albums music appear, responds for about 2 minutes then just crashes. Happens on both my Motorola phone and Hudl 2 tablet, both have the same symptoms. It won't detect the memory card on my phone either so can't use it on that device. Oh and on the wireless music play, that just stutters and makes the app crash. Can I have my money back?

Blake Nivek June 10, 2016

Was great, but now it doesn't work after marshmallow update. Not sure the saying use the cloud is the correct answer for my locally stored music. For the last month I been using Google play since this doesn't work anymore. Is there a fix on the way?

doubleTwist ™ August 25, 2016

Matt Shattock April 18, 2016

Very well laid out. The only thing I would really like to see on the app sometime is some easier way to categorize my playlist. As it stands I have to drag a song up or down to change position in a playlist and not very quickly to rearrange especially if I have 100 songs in a playlist.

CFM Apol August 22, 2016

Awesome App Works perfectly on the s7 edge. Syncing with itunes to the sd card, although quite slow, works perfectly as well. My only issue is that songs appear to double when searching by album/artist/song/etc. Judging by the space consumed, I doubt the files themselves were doubled. Also it would be nice if there were an option to skip updating itunes while syncing. That part takes way too long.

Justin Angelo Alvarez May 2, 2016

I am using this player because I can customize the cover art per song. But now, it started behaving like that of the other players, in that, the cover art in the same album is the same in alk songs. And I haven't even updated yet. Or did I? DT, is this feature removed from your latest update? Please revert it back. Tnx. Edit: I re-installed the app and it went back to normal. Thank you for replying. My problem now is that the cover art is blocked by black gradient on the upper part...poor design maybe. Maybe on your next update, the design will be considered. I want the cover art to be not blocked by anything, just like MX Player's. Thanks.

Best music player for my Galaxy J7 Since J7 doesn't have samsung stock music player. It has Play Music instead which is actually buggy and has bad interface. In DoubleTwist, everything is better, sound is better, UI is much much better. Making playlists is the easiest with this app

doubleTwist ™ April 23, 2015

Something must be corrupted. Try resetting the app by going to doubleTwist Settings and select "Reset doubleTwist" and/or reboot your phone.Thanks!

Peter Summerhawk May 12, 2016

Your program developers should be fired after this last pathetic update. I store all my music off my C: to conserve space. Now your waste of a program tells me it cant find my music? Really? iTunes has no problems finding all my music. And the scanning for my playlists in your worthless program cant even fond them now or if it manages to its incomplete. Do us all a favor and give up on this joke of an app and go back to working at Mc Donalds because as developer of software your a bad hack at best.

Chris Johnson April 16, 2016

As far as I can tell, the desktop app used to sync music doesn't work well with Windows 10. There's no way to set the path to show doubleTwist where my music is located. So far I haven't been able to get this app to do anything. :/

Alex Moulsley May 9, 2016

Something you definitely need Sync issue resolved as if by magic thank god. Back to its glorious old self, lookin forward to the new design coming soon. Will be 5* when this happens as we've been waiting a while for a visual overhaul ✌

Getting Better Samsung J5 with 32GB SD card - plays ok BUT the sync software insists on putting all music in phone RAM. Need to manually move all music, then reset the Doubletwist library so it finds the relocated tunes. Not great...

Megalion, The MAD Hatter Knits August 21, 2016

Wait, can't make a Playlist? I understand needing to put features into a pro version. But I couldn't even create a new Playlist. Stuck with the basic 3. Pro in my mind is where the ability to sync a Playlist belongs. But being able to create a Playlist on device, local to device. ... that is a basic function of a music app. I figured that I'd upgrade to pro. But not if I can't even use basic. No Sale.

doubleTwist ™ August 25, 2016

It's super easy to create a playlist. Google "How to create doubleTwist playlists" for our help page: https://www.doubletwist.com/help/question/how-to-add-to-or-create-a-playlist-in-doubletwist-player/ You just need to tap on the 3-dot menu next to any song or album, select "Add to Playlist" then "New Playlist". Thanks!

Bill Marinelli August 6, 2016

Could be a good app... It doesn't sync accurately. I guess if you have large playlists, you might not notice some missing songs. The music server seems a bit buggy too. I was trying to sync songs from iTunes on Windows to an Android Tablet, which served up the music to my Bose Soundtouch. I wasted countless hours on this app. Finally I found a solution. It required two apps, but seems to work perfectly. I'm using BubbleUPnP for the music server, and SynctunesF: for the iTunes sync.

Steven Burton April 10, 2016

Update available? NO, not really. Any other app will tell me the new version is not compatible with my device BEFORE wasting my time. Too bad this bloatware came pre-installed, and I can't remove it completely. I guess that's why rooting is so popular. Tried again after a few months, still not compatible with Android 3.1... at least I haven't wasted money on this crap.

Erik Los September 19, 2016

Bummed after Android update After I updated to Marshmallow, it switched my storage back to internal. I put it back to SD card, and now all my playlists are gone. This has happened before. Any way to get them back?

Outdated Seems like I wasted my money on an app that has an outdated design. And I'm pretty sure the reply to this will be try out cloudPlayer. Well I don't want to pay for cloudPlayer when I paid for this app. Everybody next time download from some reputed developer like Poweramp.

Adam Banahan February 23, 2016

5 stars if it had crossfade App is great but is missing some features other apps have, the main one being broadcast between songs. I use the app in the gym and it get a bit annoying when there is a long pause between songs.

doubleTwist ™ August 28, 2013

Hi Adam, we have a fix for this on the way on the next release. Stay tuned!

mike calvert June 4, 2016

Great app Good function, crashes from the past seam to be gone. Only real complaint is the download episode arrow button is so close to the scroll button. Maybe putt scrolling on the left and leave download arrow where it is? To small of a target, scrolls way down the list.

Ryan Murphy May 23, 2016

Tons of songs can't play Takes forever to sync to my iTunes. There are a ton of songs that just sync as blank songs. Not only are they blank songs but instead of skipping over them on shuffle, it just freezes on the blank song. And there's a ton of songs that have done this so it's annoying. But the songs in question work on every other app I've used just not double twist on my new phone.

doubleTwist ™ August 25, 2016

Mike T May 4, 2016

Some songs won't play Randomly some songs won't play. It stays at 0:00. Seems like the more I play a song the more likely it is to not play anymore. I reported to developers and was told to use Cloudplayer. Which works but I paid for this app and want to use its features! Seems like the developers are abandoning this for their new app. Edit: it's way past Q1, still no engine. Down to 1 star until I can use this app.

I can't tell you how long it's been since the app was updated. It's slow, and the podcast playback is terrible. It's too bad... the UI is pretty great and wished I could of kept using it. I've uninstalled it and moved on to other players.

doubleTwist ™ June 8, 2016

Have you tried our sister app, doubleTwist CloudPlayer? It features a new playback engine and material design, among many other new features. Search for "CloudPlayer" in the Play Store. We'll be transplanting the CloudPlayer engine to doubleTwist Classic in the coming months so make sure to give it a try and let us know what you think. Thanks!

What's New

New in v2.6.5:

♬ Fixed an issue that was causing "connected to computer" message for some users after upgrading to Android 6.

We are working on a major app revamp that will bring a new audio engine, 10-band EQ and a material design UI. We have been beta testing the new engine in our sister app doubleTwist CloudPlayer so give it a try if you would like a sneak peak at the audio engine improvements that are coming to the classic doubleTwist Player in the near future.
