Review summary

Users praise doubleTwist Pro for its rich features including iTunes syncing, Android Auto compatibility, and a clean interface. However, many report recurring issues with unreliable playlist syncing, app crashes, outdated software, and unstable Bluetooth playback or casting. Users also find the library functions and playlist management lacking, leading to frustration especially with large music libraries. Despite these problems, some still consider it one of the better Android music players, but many have moved to alternatives due to these persistent flaws.

Pros

Supports syncing playlists and large music libraries from iTunes.
Clean and intuitive user interface with good graphics and equalizer features.
Works well with Android Auto and casting to devices like Samsung TVs.
Includes features like a podcast manager and 10 band equalizer.
AirSync functionality allows wireless syncing between desktop and Android device.

Cons

Syncing with iTunes is often buggy or unreliable, especially playlist syncing and AirSync connection issues.
App and related desktop software are frequently described as outdated and lacking recent updates or customer support.
Crashes and glitches cause loss of artwork, inability to find songs, and require reinstalling to fix.
Bluetooth autoplay and casting features often have stability or continuity problems, such as playback stopping or pausing unexpectedly.
Library organization and search functions are limited, with poor handling of tags and embedded album art leading to frustration with large music collections.

2024-12-25	Jo*****	Similar as a review from 12/9/24, when we try and cast from our Samsung phones (different models) to our Chromecast with Google TV, the playback will stop at the end of a track. The progress bar will appear as if it's trying to move on but never does. For a workaround until this is fixed, use the Samsung Smart View function. There is a "Labs" option to now allow screensharing with a Chromecast device. This way, doubleTwist Pro doesn't realize it's casting. Be sure to plug into power though.

2024-11-20	Ca*****	Thank you for the quick response. I checked, and phone was not selected in the permissions. I fixed that and now the Bluetooth autoplay turns on! Perfect again!! The one remaining problem after the update is that the Bluetooth autoplay will not toggle on. This is particularly annoying when you get in the car and you have to dig around for the phone in order to get the music on. Why ? Other than that, I have no complaints.
