Not ready for prime time

Just got worse after iOS 12.1, songs skipping frequently. Stuttering like an old 45 record player.
Copy from Golden Ear using file sharing fails on iOS 11.4. Cannot import songs from the iCloud file folder. You have to email them to yourself and import it into the inbox. You can’t search your playlists only Artist list. Shuffle groups songs by the same artist, it does not shuffle the way most music apps do. Does not backup to iCloud even though it claims to in settings. The biggest problem with music apps on iOS is they are seldom updated leaving the user with only one option to buy another one.

A Possibly Stellar Application Ruined By Fatal Flaws

This is a stylish, well made (in the core features) application for listening to music save but a couple things that utterly ruin it as an application.
Plays flac files (and other formats like mp3 files), this is great, and was my key need for a player on my iPod, to save time loading it up.
What's horrible about this app and breaks it:
1. Random playback is utterly broken. It randomly plays a song alright, song to song, yet somehow, shockingly, bafflingly, instead of using Apple's own inbuilt player
mechanism (I would think they could do, I may be wrong), or coding a decent one of their own, the Golden Ear developers have coded a random/shuffle song
option where it does not remember what songs have been played before it in a collection/playlist.
So you have say, 50 songs, play a song, randomly shuffles to the next new song, and then after that song, the player will not remember that the 2 previous songs have
already been played and should therefore be excluded from the random songs selection going forward, and may well play either of them again.
This is shockingly and bafflingly broken. I can't understand how other people haven't mentioned it yet, maybe they just haven't noticed it yet, it took me awhile to notice it.
I'm not just whining, scenario where this annoys me in my life:
I take my ipod with playlist and plug it in to my work radio, I keep most of my files at home stored as flacs, so I was happy to have this solution instead of constantly converting files for my ipod, but it's no solution at all since when I try to put on a "playlist for the day" half the songs keep coming up again and again. Thanks for making me
waste my money on your app Golden Ear devs.
2. The 2nd glaring issue, as if the first one wasn't bad enough, is that the app will randomly cut off some songs early in the last 10 seconds or so to jump to the next song.
I'm not imagining that, it can sometimes take awhile to notice, perhaps an hour or more of listening (as it doesn't happen with every song, or most, fortunately), but it absolutely does happen, I've verified it multiple times with multiple identical files between my PC player (Winamp) and different sessions with Golden Ear on my iPod.
So, other than these 2 issues, there are a lot of amazing features, I'd say a darn near perfect, slick looking music app. So close to perfection, but so drastically ruined by
bad coding and testing that the app is unusable for me in the (very normal) context I'd expect to use it in, which forces me to give it a 1 star review.
If both of these issues are fixed in a future update, I will gladly update my review to a 5 star review, or a 4 star review if they simply fixed the random playback memory issue,
as the app is now though it is just a waste of money.

Great app

Over the last few years I used Foobar2000 to create more than 6000 lossless wave and cue files which this program plays very well on my Monster Turbo Copper headphones. Only beef I have is that album cover art must be renamed.

It does the job.

Works as advertised. Hope to see many improvements and new features in the future as the app doesn't come cheap ;)

Wish it could play flac file without cue

It plays .flac files as long as you have a .cue file for that album or song. I have lots of albums with no cue files so this app is disappointing. The player will not open if you have just one song that doesn't include a specific .cue file. The organizing of the files could be better, there is no search option. You have to keep scrolling, and there is no separation of songs or albums unless your .cue file states that their is multiple songs in one .flac file. In which case it shows a slight indent in the song title (hard to notice if you have lots of songs to sort though. This app has a lot of potential if there was a search, but mostly lost my rating because of the lack of support of .flac files without .cue file.
