MISSING SONGS
I really loved this app for many years, I had a lot of fav songs and saved albums it’s been more than a year they didn’t fix the issue. I’ve been waiting and NOTHING. All my fav songs just disappeared and I don’t even know what it was. Terribly disappointed. So I’m saying farewell to this app UNFORTUNATELY but it’s not good to save some songs and one day all of them got removed harakat

Problems with streaming!
I am an anghami user since 2016, it used to be my favorite music streaming app. All of a sudden, some songs stopped playing with “an error accured” or “song is not available” errors! I guess it’s a licensing problem. Not to be annoying but I’m giving the app a one-month chance, if it keeps showing the same errors, I have to switch to another music streaming service. Sorry.
PS: it happens to alot of songs, I listen to a song today, and tomorrow it starts giving an error.

Full of bugs
My use case is pretty simple. I have a playlist I like to keep playing over and over. I ask you to do ONE job yet you still fail at it. 1. First of all, the “previous song” and “next song” buttons disappeared recently. So when i am driving, i can only skip 5 seconds backwards or forward which obviously isn’t useful at all (why would i even want that?)
2. Anghami somehow allows artists to change the content of their songs/audio files. I totally understand you give people permission to delete their content. But changing it!?!! Completely surprising. I have a playlist of 114 audio files (Quran) that suddenly got shrinked to 30, most of them are different recordings from what I originally selected. I didn’t want to include them yet all of a sudden I woke up to a whole new playlist I didn’t want.
3. A bug that has been there since forever: if you play a song once, and replay the playlist, it starts from the end! You can imagine, as someone who likes to repeat my playlist of Quran, I find myself listening to the last 1 or 2 ayahs only, unless I manually start the file from the beginning (which no longer works easily because of the bug 1)
An 2008 mp3 player would do a better job at this, really!! I don’t need any of the fancy AI features, just get the basic music playing functionality working and I will be super grateful.
★★★★★ Silver _Shadow 3/21/2026 v8.0.23
The issue of songs and albums disappearing from the App and those that were previously downloaded!
The app still has an issue where albums and songs suddenly disappear. Even if a subscriber has signed up for “Anghami Plus” and downloaded albums and songs to their library, they’ll be surprised to find that, over time, the downloaded songs have been automatically deleted from the library and replaced with random songs!
Unfortunately, customer service has consistently ignored the issue and refused to resolve it since I subscribed to the service four years ago and up until now.

App is fine but this basic functionality doesn’t work - opened a ticket and dev team responses were useless - I’m happy to change review once issue resolved

Missing songs!
I’ve been using this app for maybe over 5 years. I noticed that some artists that I listened to have MISSING songs and MISSING albums. And I know that isn’t the artist’s fault because when I check on another app everything is STILL there. I’ll give a couple examples like IU’s songs and P1harmony’s songs and whole albums are MISSING. I hope you’ll fix that because this will make Anghami lose users.
★★★★★ rachid mohamed ali 12/13/2025 v8.0.13
ma meilleure application pour la musique
il faut absolument ajouter la rubrique CREDIT pour connaître les artistes qui ont participé à la création des chansons (Parolier,compositeur, producteur de musique, producteur , solistes….) 👍

No need for title
I used to love anghami and I always subscribe to it! Not sure what happened to the app, a lot of songs I can’t find them anymore even for songs I used to listen to them, and I can’t listen to english/french songs anymore
★★★★★ NJ khhn 7/20/2025 v7.0.105
“Songs not available to play”
Some songs are not available to play even though they are listed on the app for streaming. I lost access to streaming music for some artists.
