Stack an equalizer (EQ), reverb (concert effect) and effect pads on top, and a song you know becomes something to play with. ■ New in 8.0 STEM MIXER (new) Split a track into vocal, drums, bass and the rest — and mix it your own way. • Effects on each lane. 46 in all • Drop the vocal, swap the bass for a synth, chop just the drums on the beat • One XY pad moves two knobs at once. LPF / HPF / BPF draw their curve over the analyzer • A spectrum, level meter and waveform for every lane • PRESET — name what you built and call it back from the list • Try it for 60 minutes. Another 60 becomes available 12 hours later Requires iPhone 14 Pro / iPhone 15 or later, or an iPad with 8 GB of memory or more (M1 and later Pro/Air, iPad mini 7). Separating a track is heavy work, so it is not available on earlier devices. Everything else in the app works as before. ■ New in 7.2 [Managing Songs] 1- Copy files directly within ColatPlayer - no Files app needed. 2- Link folders from other apps and play their songs directly, without copying. 3- Organize your songs right inside the app - no Files app needed. ■ New in 7.0 - FX Pads Chop the track with eight pads. ROLL, REVERSE, BRAKE, TRANS and more. Four banks (BEAT / TONE / LOOP / SAMPLE), 32 effects in total. Everything locks to the beat (BPM) automatically. - XY Filter Sweep low-pass (LPF) and high-pass (HPF) with your finger. The filter curve is drawn over a live spectrum analyzer, so you can see the band you are touching. - Speed and Key 0.5x to 2.0x, continuously. With KEY on the pitch stays put (master tempo). With KEY off it behaves like changing a turntable's speed. - Resume where you left off Close the app completely and it picks up the same track and position. - Gapless playback No silence between tracks. - Level meter Choose how it looks. Input gain and a limiter are included. ■ Supported files FLAC / ALAC / AAC / MP3 / AIFF / WAV Hi-Res up to 96kHz / 24-bit. No conversion needed. Three ways to get files in: - Finder (iTunes) on a Mac - The Files app on your iPhone - AirDrop or Share from another app Folders stay folders. Make one per album and it lines up that way. ■ Finding a track Pick the one song you want out of many, fast. By artist, album, playlist or title. Swipe to move through them. Build the moment with stars and the queue. ■ Make it yours Choose a wallpaper, or use a photo from your own library. Pick the clock typeface. An old iPhone you no longer carry makes a fine desktop player on a stand. ■ Additional effects (In-App Purchase, one-time) - Efx PEQ A 3-band parametric equalizer (EQ). Turn gain, Q and frequency, and hear the change as you make it. Includes a stereo spectrum analyzer with peak hold, and a level meter. Earphones and genres differ. Tune it to your taste. - Efx DSP Bring the live show back. Eight rooms - GEKIJO, LIVEHOUSE, THATER, CLUB, HALL, ARENA, STADIUM, DOME - in two flavours each, sixteen presets in all. Adjust reverb amount, delay time and decay time. Put the air of that night back around the music. - Efx FX-Pad The FX pads and XY filter described above. All one-time purchases. One Apple ID covers your other devices. Changed phones? Tap Restore Purchase. You can try each one in demo mode before buying. ■ Good for you if - You want FLAC and Hi-Res played as-is, no conversion - You want an equalizer to shape the sound - You like watching a spectrum analyzer and level meters - You want to play with effects on songs you already know - You listen offline, without using data ``` ## Rankings - #699,905 — Overall - #35 — folders - #52 — folder ## Review summary Users praise ColatPlayer for its powerful EQ/DSP, broad frequency control, and unique effects like reverb and surround, which deliver audiophile-grade sound. The spectrum analyzer is also well-regarded. However, frequent crashes, playback glitches (skipping, seeking issues, choppy audio), and FLAC/hi‑res playback problems are common. UI polish is inconsistent, with some finding controls small or unattractive. Overall, the app offers exceptional sound customization but reliability and FLAC support issues hinder daily use. ### Pros - Advanced EQ/DSP with broad frequency control and a functional spectrum analyzer. - Significant sound quality improvements and audiophile‑level customization (including reverb and surround effects). - Unique features not found in many players, enabling realistic room/venue sound. - Good UI/UX for accessing local music and using the spectrum display. - Strong value for money; many users consider it worth the price. ### Cons - Frequent crashes and reliability issues that affect playback. - Playback glitches like skipping mid-song, seek failures, and choppy audio. - Hi-res/FLAC playback problems and compatibility issues with certain files/devices. - UI/UX is not consistently polished; some controls are small and the interface feels cheap. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Music Player: Music Booster](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id906366237) — 2.80 / 5 - [Car Play Connect Music Sync](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id906369831) — 2.00 / 5 - [Equalizer Pro +](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1354769058) — 4.20 / 5 - [ProPlayer - Audio Player](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6784130041) - [AMPod Music Player](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6504459434) — 4.70 / 5 - [music player-NePLAYER Lite](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1047053453) — 4.30 / 5 - [HS Player - FLAC, EQualizer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id857650606) — 4.30 / 5 - [FLAC Player](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id390532592) — 2.70 / 5 - [EQ-Player](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6752549499) - [Doppi: a local music player](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1002899671) — 4.20 / 5 - [TunesFlow - Music Player with Equalizer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id700513526) — 4.10 / 5 - [Hi-Res music player-NePLAYER](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id970389374) — 4.00 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id738719900)
