Description

doubleTwist is a delicious music player and podcast manager with music sync functionality. doubleTwist Player has over 100 thousand five star ratings and a beautiful, easy-to-use interface that eliminates the need to jump between different apps to play music, manage podcasts, or sync iTunes playlists. Plus, you can AirPlay music and videos from your Android with the optional AirSync purchase!

doubleTwist Music Player has been recommended by the New York Times, BBC, Wall Street Journal and numerous tech publications.

What's the catch?
Unlike other music players, doubleTwist is a free download, not a "trial". We update it frequently and listen to your feedback to make it better. We make money from an optional in-app upgrade to doubleTwist Pro unlocking the following premium music player features: AirSync, AirPlay, DLNA support, equalizer, album art search and removal of podcast ads.

doubleTwist is handmade with ❤ in Austin, Texas, live music's world capital. Thanks to you, we manage music & podcasts for more than 10 million loyal listeners.

The only problem I have with this app is that when I turn shuffle on and put down the phone to just play; after about 3 or 4 songs, the 5th song will start in the middle, play about 30 seconds, and then restart from the beginning. The problem won't happen again till another 3 or 4 songs play. Not sure why it does this or if anyone else is having this problem, but it would be great if you could fix it. Thanks

Frederick Latimer Carr

Have used this app for years and always loved it, but the recent update completely messed up the way podcast playlists work. I used to enjoy re-listening to a playlist of downloaded podcasts, but now that is completely impossible. Strange to remove that feature.

Tavish Short

this app wouldn't sync to my computer, and it constantly forgot all the information I put into the metadata, leaving me to re-enter all of it through my phone. it let me listen to my music, though, which no other app has been able to offer me, but the experience is far from great.

Nathnael Terefe

I'm impressed by this app. It has no errors or crashes. But a little change to the UI would be nice. A blurred album art background would make it more catchy.

Wanted something simple, this makes listen to anything difficult, installing is a pain. I followed the steps and nothing was working, it does absolutely nothing... When back a second time to give it another try, followed the forums, as best I could, it still doesn't make any sense, I think I'm done try to put music on my phone!

Marnu Oosthuizen

Great app.Been using for a few years now and after the newest update I had to stop by and leave a great review. Awsome for syncing up my playlist from my PC to my phone. Won't easily switch to another app again, since this one has all i need and more.

I have been using doubletwist for years but I'm have trouble with adding my new songs to my created playlist. I will put them in a playlist but they disappear after I have them in my playlist. I did t have this problem till the last update

doubleTwist ™ June 20, 2017

Are you using AirSync by any chance? Sounds like your playlists are being rewritten by synced playlists. We'll be adding reverse sync to correct this in the next release. You may want to join the beta for early access in the next couple of weeks. Go to the doubleTwist Play Store listing, scroll towards the bottom of the page and select "Join BETA"

Damian Leggett June 7, 2017

Is there a way you can get it to remember what podcast you listen to, incase you need to uninstall and reinstall...a bit of a pain to try and remember and add all of them back. Also is there a Folder view, I have folders for different things, be good just to play all in a folder. Also when a podcast says failed to download, could it say which podcast, as I have a few. Another thing can we had a a view on downloaded podcasts only. Sometimes I have to scroll through to delete downloaded podcasts

Jake Watson June 5, 2017

This app was great before the most recent update (as of 6-June-2017) now it's very confusing and bland. The podcast art doesn't show any more so it takes ages to find anything and the artists description is gone too. Why remove so may features?

Jordan Kanner June 2, 2017

The gap between tracks drives me crazy! and I've paid for many features on this app over the past few years. I've used double twist since I got my phone and since then no one has managed to fix this simple problem but you have managed to put out multiple pay services that no one needs with their music playback app and issue pointless updates. Once this issue is fixed I will change my review to five stars. Thank you. I also upgraded to pro like a year ago but now there is a new pro version... Thanks guys...

doubleTwist ™ June 3, 2017

The Pro app you're referring to is identical in features to the Pro in-app upgrade you already have. As far as gapless playback goes, we're working on it and plan to release it sometime this fall. Thanks!

Richard Gevertz June 18, 2017

This app does exactly what it is supposed to do. Pretty much the only application I've never had a problem with. This had to be one of the finest Apps available. Programming Team - You have done an incredible job developing a complicated - cross - platforms Application which has performed perfectly as well as without a single issue! EXCELLENCE!

June 9, 2017

Overall, this app easily has the best interface of all those I have encountered. The only drawback is that it does not support gapless playback, which is a real pain as I listen to quite a few live albums, and it ruins the "experience" somewhat.

doubleTwist ™ June 9, 2017

We'll be adding gapless in an upcoming release hopefully this fall. Stay tuned!

Mahesh Hordagoda June 26, 2017

Used it for a while. Worked brilliantly. After recent update fast forward does not work. It used to be tap for next track and hold to forward. Now it just goes to the next track even when holding. Otherwise it's great for what I need.

doubleTwist ™ June 26, 2017

We plan to add this back in an upcoming release, hopefully later this summer. You may want to join the beta if you want early access to new features and help test the app.

beloog99 June 6, 2017

Well I installed it hooked up my laptop, "sync completed successfully no files transferred". "Cannot transfer drm protected files". Worthless.

OMG! I finally have a music app that organizes my music CORRECTLY!!!! Without exploding albums apart by artist/composer/compilation. Like, "No, that album has MORE than 1 f÷@×!^g track!" I've only had this MINUTES and I already know it's the best.

A Google User June 3, 2017

I've been using this app since 2012 and initially rated it 3 stars. As of today, May 27, 2017, I'm changing it to a full 5 stars. Over the last 5 years it has consistently improved; the developers have continually tweaked and improved its features and performance. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't have it running. I have some other apps like it, but it remains my favorite.

Lanrey Joseph June 26, 2017

Hoping for the next update that more audio file formats will be supported and also a new theming option for the whole app.

doubleTwist ™ June 26, 2017

We already support an incredible amount of formats. Which format did you have trouble with? Also, have you tried customizing the look of the app using the Theme option in the Settings?

Wally Robertson June 7, 2017

I keep finding iTunes sync is unreliable. For some albums I find only some tracks have synced successfully. Otherwise it's brilliant.

Becca L. June 23, 2017

Been using for years. Worth getting the full version, especially for the airsync option.

Tony Vovers June 15, 2017

Double Twist response to technical issue was quick and clear. Something is starting my phone music player randomly without command. The developer assure me it is not Double Twist. Review updated based on developer good response. The App is great, synchronizes without complaint and delivers what it needs to.

doubleTwist ™ June 15, 2017

The app does not "listen" on the mic. Whatever you mean by that we don't do it, never have and we've been in business for over 10 years. If the app auto-starts for you, it means some other app or device, such as a Bluetooth device or other app with access to audio permissions, is telling the Android OS to launch the music app on your phone.

Alex Moss June 22, 2017

I've been using Double Twist for a while and it's, by far, the best audio player out there.

Cory Cooper June 4, 2017

I used this to get my iTunes on my android which was the only thing keeping me attached to an iphone, I upgraded to pro and it got me all my artwork too.

Jyotir Mercer June 13, 2017

My only problem is that when I deleted a playlist it comes back no matter how many times I delete it. 😟😔

Ed Tamago June 25, 2017

Like it, but switching between views could be done as swipe, I'd love that

June 23, 2017

This app is great so far and I have bought the upgrade.

Paid for premium to use UPnP feature to stream videos to xbox 360, but no longer works. Can only stream music now. Please help!

Tap on the casting button on the bottom right of the Now Playing screen, under the playback controls. You should see a list of all available casting devices, including those supporting UPnP.

william james mcintyre May 30, 2017

very good app.

Adam Smith May 21, 2017

Dropbox, Mac/iTunes & Android? If you have this combination you're in luck. I redirected my pathway in iTunes to Dropbox to save my songs in the cloud. There was NO player that would effectively play from Dropbox on Android (some platforms will do it but they will likely grab every audio file from DB rather then your preferred music list). With DoubleTwist it wirelessly syncs my phone with iTunes (including all my iTunes playlists which is amazing). Thank you DoubleTwist and great job.

May 16, 2017

I just downloaded the player as well as the desktop version. Though the synch with Mac is somehow limited and not as smooth as advertised it works. Yet the player is the best one I have used so far and have used many others. This is the best looking, simple and smoother to use without sacrificing pro features for those that like that. The only thing missing to make it a 5 🌟 stars app is that you guys need to enable the 'triple click' feature to rewind or skip back songs.

doubleTwist ™ May 6, 2017

If you're on a Mac, you need AirSync in order to sync as Macs don't support the MTP transfer protocol which is used for USB sync.

Jim E Toledo May 17, 2017

Paid for an upgrade years ago in order to utilize UPnP functionality. You have since decided split UPnP from Airplay so as to charge twice for that functionality. Way to stick it to long time users. 05/17/17 Forwarded my receipt for AirPlay as requested. All attempts to use Chromecast direct me to the purchase screen to upsale Pro. Will Not Cast.

doubleTwist ™ May 5, 2017

That's not true. If you are referring to AirSync, it unlocks AirPlay, UPnP and Chromecast capabilities as well as wireless sync. If your previous purchase is not recognized by Google, please forward your old Google wallet receipt to support@doubletwist and we'll take care of it. Thanks!

Bart Misiewicz May 10, 2017

Updated April 2017 One of the few apps that I've ever purchased. This app is amazing and is super "easy-to-use after you pair it with your computer. It works great with iTunes except for some album art transferring. Some art that is HD and available on iTunes doesn't show up on the DoubleTwist app. Hopefully this gets fixed. Also the new update took album art away from podcasts and certain podcast titles are misspelled. The new version doesn't have an option to choose an SD card to store downloads. Thanks for finally adding Chromecast Support. I don't even mind paying $1.99 for the add on. However I think you should have included these features for early adopters of the "Pro" version. It should also include the ability to change the speed of music / podcasts when listening through Chromecast connected devices.

doubleTwist ™ April 24, 2017

Unfortunately Chromecast does not support playback speed controls because when you cast, the stream goes directly from the podcast provider to your Chromecast stick without going through doubleTwist on your phone. So this is an architectural limitation by Google and there's nothing we can do about it :(

May 13, 2017

Paid $5 for this because supposedly you can sync iTunes music with the app. It kinda worked if you like all your tracks being listed as "unknown" artist. I don't understand why the tracks were complete in iTunes and "unknown" in doubletwist. These apps need a lot more user info and guidance.

doubleTwist ™ May 14, 2017

This means your songs have incomplete metadata and don't contain an "Album Artist" tag. You have two options: either add an Album Artist by using the Edit Metadata option in the 3-dot menu next to an album, or you can change your default browsing option in the Artists screen to "Track Artists" from "Album Artists" at the top of the Artists screen.

brock young May 9, 2017

I got an update and now my podcasts don't load more than 1 episode into the queue. WTH! Good to go. I found the button. What about audio ducking? If I'm writing a text and hit the voice to text button, the sound keeps playing. Am I missing something there too?

doubleTwist ™ May 9, 2017

Go to Settings and make sure Respect Audio Focus is set to ON.

Rashawn Nelson May 24, 2017

I loved it up until two days ago when I did the upgrade. I listen to about 6 or 7 podcasts here. I cannot download and individual podcast anymore. It only allows me to download the entire series of podcasts. I have to stop the app from downloading a show that I've heard previously. Also I wish there were more podcast options. I don't really use it to listen to music. Very frustrating, I've been using this for years.

doubleTwist ™ May 24, 2017

You can download individual podcasts by tapping on the downward facing arrow next to each episode while browsing a specific podcast feed. If you need help, come by our forum and post as it's easier to communicate there: https://plus.google.com/communities/102684141461061984604

Been using this app close to 4 years now and I just upgraded to the galaxy S8. Ever since I changed phones it seems that whenever I start the app, it doesn't remember the last song I played. Instead it goes back 5-10 songs back. Any fix to this?
