Only docking the one star because I wish it supported CarPlay. Other than that, it does what it should: play FLACs. —— Looks like iOS 26’s terrible UI has broken the layout of this app. Still functions, but controls and labels are in funky positions.

I downloaded this due to some positive reviews about flack file playback. While it does play local files, you have to copy them all into the application playback is completely broken in the sense that it won’t even play the next song in an album. It just plays one song at a time that’s it. This may be a limitation with local flag files, but the functionality is just not there. The interface and user experience seems like something from 20 years ago, which makes sense. This is a really old application, but it just doesn’t hold up and the fact they charge money for it is insane. I made the mistake of giving them a few bucks just to try it out but I should’ve known better when there was not a demo the free apps like fubar 2000 are 1000 times better so just avoid this and grab a free player.

Been a long time user of Golden Ear... Was hoping you would, at some point, provide an equalizer function... similar to foobar2000. Thx for a great program. Sent from my iPhone
