The Original audiophile-quality music player designed for lossless, gapless playback of FLAC albums and live recordings on iOS.

Redesigned and Re-engineered, optimized for modern iOS

Adding your FLAC music is easier than ever. Now copy files or folders into FLAC Player from cloud storage, USB devices, Network shares, or any other location in the Files app!

FLAC Player can download from SFTP Servers - including any Mac with Remote Login, NAS devices, or other systems running SSH. Transfer your music wirelessly and start listening to one track while the rest download.

Loading music over USB is fast and organization is automatic. Files are grouped into collections based on FLAC tags, or file names (if tags are not present). Quickly add music, artwork, and track lists using iTunes USB File Sharing.

Features: - Lossless, gapless FLAC playback engineered for iOS - Decodes FLAC files at full quality/resolution including 24-bit/96kHz, with onboard playback up to 16-bit/48kHz. - 24-bit/96kHz and higher playback with USB DAC and Camera Connection Kit (Now supports iPhone, see website) - 10-Band Equalizer, 21 built-in presets or create your own - View FLAC Metadata, Stream Info, and Audio Hardware info - Secure SSH/SFTP connections with private key authentication - Create, edit, and listen to playlists of FLAC music - Browse/Play by Album and Artist - Play/Shuffle your entire collection - ReplayGain support - Bookmark any song and jump back later - Background playback and SFTP Downloads - Compatible with remote controls (headset or external control) - Supports bluetooth headphones and audio devices (not recommended for quality) - Supports AirPlay audio output including Apple TV 2/3 and AirPort Express - Album art viewer (jpeg, png, tiff, bmp, gif) - Text/Info file viewer (txt, pdf, html, doc, rtf) - View info files on SFTP servers prior to downloading - Sort FLAC files by track number, file name, date modified, or manually - Optimized for low power-usage

This app has worked (mostly) fine for years, but now it crashes every time I try to play anything and is unusable. This problem is consistent on multiple iOS devices and operating systems. I am hopeful that you can fix it (I was happy with this app until very recently).

Crashes

Crashes and functions are rudimental. A waste of my 10 bucks. I hope it could be refunded

Just what I was looking for

Finally, I'm rid of that tiresome, worthless Apple Music app. Finally, I'm rid of the rest of Apple's marketing driven apps and have an app that does what I've always wanted: play FLAC music files. Thanks Dan Leehr, you've made my day!

Terrible

Almost a year with no updates. What a shame.

Poor Peru

App works great when it’s working, after a month or so it stops and won’t open. Like others said you too uninstall and reinstall all music. Pain in the you know what.

Is this app abandoned?

I downloaded this app about three months ago, and up until about two weeks ago it worked perfectly. It allowed me to rediscover my favorite songs in unimaginable clarity through FLAC. Then it stopped working. It would launch and immediately crash. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling (which involves re-downloading my flac library to my phone). The app worked again for a day or two, only to crash again. I uninstalled and re-installed once more—same story. It looks like this app hasn’t been updated for about two years, so I’m guessing it’s an OS compatibility issue. I hope the developers haven’t abandoned this app, but it looks as if they have... Two years is a long time.

A Complete Waste of Money

This app used to work well before iOS 8 came out. Since then, it has done nothing but hang up every time I try to play a song.

Works like a charm!

After using this app for two weeks I have no complaints. It has been performing perfectly!
