User Reviews

Users praise Qobuz for top‑tier sound quality and artist‑friendly ethics, but reliability and usability struggles hinder adoption. Recurrent themes include playback interruptions, offline/download issues, a cluttered interface and queue, gaps in the catalog, and problematic CarPlay performance. Addressing offline play, stability, and navigation would greatly improve the experience.
Pros
  • Exceptional sound quality unmatched by competitors (e.g., Spotify).
  • Artist-friendly approach with fair compensation and rejection of AI, plus human curation.
  • Expansive and curated library offering diverse discovery.
  • Active ongoing development and improvements by the app team.
Cons
  • Frequent playback interruptions and instability (pauses, stops, delays) across devices.
  • Offline downloads do not reliably play offline; downloads sometimes fail, disappear, or require re-downloading; consumes significant storage.
  • Clunky UI/UX and problematic queue management; slow responsiveness and hard-to-find controls.
  • Content gaps and catalog inconsistencies (missing artists/albums, titles disappear), affecting discovery.
  • CarPlay and driving usage experience is poor due to cutouts and playback issues.

I was excited to potentially switch over to Qobuz for a number of reasons, but after a month it hasn't worked out. The music catalogue has a lot, but still a ton of missing songs/partial albums which was odd. I didn't really notice a different in sound quality despite listening on devices that could support higher sound quality. Downloading playlists to listen offline genuinely took 5-6 hours (playlist consisting of ~100 songs) and then suddenly the app was taking up 24GB of my phone storage after I tried to download another ~100 song playlist to listen offline. On top of that, I experienced a few bugs, music would stop playing randomly and my own created playlists would suddenly show up as "Private" and I couldn't access them anymore without fully logging out/closing app/redownloading app/etc. this happened more than once. The last thing that bugged me was that there were very little comms about renewals and the free trial ending, so I was auto-billed for an annual subscription (despite selecting monthly billing) and never saw an email to cancel or change it and that is non-refundable. I guess it's cool I get to listen throughout the rest of what I paid for but I'd rather have my money back. Maybe once they make more improvements to these headaches I might try again but for now, not for me.

Wish the app had Sonos speaker support like Tidal or Spotify. Very good sound quality and UI. Lets me import my music library from other apps!!
