You’ll still be charged even when you unsubscribe on time
I’m not slow, I know how to unsubscribe. Apple has stated that it doesn’t matter that I unsubscribed, they still will charge me. So I ordered a Samsung phone and leaving Apple. Not paying for something that never worked in the first place. Yall are horrible as hell taking people’s money and forcing people into contracts.
★★★★ Jlkeller70 11/28/2025 v2.11.00
Poor customer care
I searched the entire description and saw no trace of a paid membership. But I never even got it all the way opened and there it was. So I hope this saves you a little time and from having to deal with morons.
★★★★ Beast in the world 11/8/2025 v2.11.00
If you wasting your money on this, you’re crazy
They really needed to take this app down because it falsified information but doesn’t work on anything
★★★★ Pacopepeblanco 7/18/2025 v2.11.00
Don’t waste your money
This is a total waste of money.

Great EQ, but has a new issue
It was great for a year, now if I play one cd to the end I no longer can play any songs or CDs it’s silent, although I see the it’s playing but no sound. The Bluetooth gets disconnected. I need to restart the app to make it go back to normal. I go have the latest updated version.
★★★★ TopdrawerB 8/15/2024 v2.10.00
$$$$&
WAY too expensive!!!
★★★★ Valen R. 2/23/2024 v2.10.00
One of the best, but…
$10 per month for EQ? I admit that it’s a good application. But paying monthly for listening to my own music? What if I am not using this app for a few months? It would cost me $30 or more for just having the app on My iPhone? Please remove the annoying pop up add message many people would rate 5 stars.
★★★★ peypey_144 1/11/2024 v2.10.00
badddd app
DONT DOWNLOAD THIS DUMB APP
★★★★ Just_nsus 1/6/2024 v2.10.00
Take away the pay thing pls
I wish they take. Away the pay thing because l thought l can play my music without paying but after you open the it says that l have to pay first like nobody wants to pay to use the app
★★★★ N1kky A. 12/3/2023 v2.10.00
Where is user folders????
Developers even don’t care about users. Spent a time to adding my folders via file management and when open app it’s shows me a chaotic list without any directory tree or sub folders. This shows a lot, especially how this software makers “cares” about customers. In every option it says BUY and BUY and BUY!!! For now this is a dummy moneysucker program.
★★★★ Laugh'n often 10/10/2023 v2.10.00
Limited access to music and refund policy bogus
Most of music on Apple Music not allowed to be played so what is the point? The EQ is quite good, but fairly useless.
I meant to click trial period (thought I had), but no, so charged. Went through Apple, subscription shows charged, but refund site says I have No subscriptions eligible for refund. Bogus.
Don’t recommend.
★★★★ KRA9291 9/23/2023 v2.10.00
Cost
So it cost more since you need to buy the songs to even play/listen to the music. Then it cost 39$ for the trial.
★★★★ rygalli_6 9/13/2023 v2.10.00
Not good app
You can’t you APPLE MUSIC
★★★★ Bradddd jman 8/22/2023 v2.10.00
Monthly Sub, nothing is free
It’s a gimmick
★★★★ danny098123 8/22/2023 v2.10.00
dishonest
deceptive description, the app is only free to use for 3 days
★★★★ K1puppya 8/15/2023 v2.10.00
It’s a scam
I wanted to make my phone louder and it is not free, so I just did the free subscription but I deleted it five minutes later because it didn’t even work and now I have to wait a whole entire year to download any apps because it says I haven’t paid the subscription, but I haven’t ever even touched the app ridiculous and I’m not paying $40 for some app I haven’t even touched
★★★★ BLack CPA 8/5/2023 v2.10.00
Licensing
The EQ creates great sound, but it cannot be used for all songs through Apple because of licensing issues.
★★★★ arenheeeeeee38 8/1/2023 v2.10.00
Aren’s opinion
This app is 1star it does not have good song that Spotify has and is just to hard to use
★★★★ jadesded 7/21/2023 v2.10.00
Predatory Menu Selection
The app opens to an advert with touch ID that prompts you about their yearly subscription. The x to close the ad wasn't immediately present & I almost nearly paid for a subscription. Uninstalled promptly, I don't support apps that hide behind the cowardness of intentionally obtuse UI. Make a better app people actually want to buy, lamss.

LONG TIME AGO
I got this app a while ago when there was actually 2 version’s. A free version & the one you pay for all features unlocked version. After 6 years I come to download & look for Equalizer + Pro but didn’t find it so I downloaded this & “restore my purchases” & comes out as error. Honestly I’m not paying a subscription to listen to music on the cloud. I get we can’t listen on platforms like Apple Music & Spotify, etc etc… because of certain regulations but not being able to restore what I have previously purchase is absurd.
Although the frequency cuts are really good not enough to keep the app around especially if I have to pay now YEARLY.
★★★★ Thizzlol00 2/24/2023 v2.09.06
This is whack
Immplaying mucis on Pandora and i wanted more volume and more bass, but when i tried to use the equalizer it cuts off Pandora. Worthless to me. Pointless unless you already have music downloaded. I want to EQ any sound but this isnt that. False advertising and fake app that tried to charge for a subscription. Blatant SCAM if you ask me
★★★★ levi5819 2/21/2023 v2.09.06
Wow
I just downloaded the app and about to delete because I don’t use apple play I use Spotify and I can’t use any other app
★★★★ mammachristy1289 1/2/2023 v2.09.04
Dont waste your time…..
Not even an equalizer just a music player Not downloader either
★★★★ xxxteniculs 1/1/2023 v2.09.04
why

★★★★ 5 Star 🌟 °mastar 🐙 12/7/2022 v2.09.04
EXPORT????
will change when this is solved whats the point
★★★★ Big Dell 10 12/6/2022 v2.09.03
Should be easier to add music
If there is an easy way to do this I will definitely change my review
★★★★ rip2059 9/1/2022 v2.09.01
Pay?
Whwhy I have to pay to listen to music I already paid for. Why can’t I have just a booster why do I have to go through you app to listen to
★★★★ Nowaylove1 8/19/2022 v2.09.01
Not compatible
I only use two apps for music. I use YouTube and Musi. This app is not compatible with nothing but iTunes is what it has told me.
★★★★ mahrkos 7/30/2022 v2.09.01
Trash
Complete waste of money
★★★★ ZzDevN0rthzZ 6/29/2022 v2.09.01
Trash
Imagine buying this just for clean audio really trash like every other equalizer app they make you pay inside the app
★★★★ Rafa694200 6/26/2022 v2.09.01
You can’t play any song with copyright
I recently downloaded this and tried to boost some songs but any song I try to boost is blocked by copyright
★★★★ Sam and colby vs the world 6/21/2022 v2.09.01
Scam
You can’t play any song you want, it ALWAYS says “we can’t play this for copyright reasons” then don’t make the freaking app.
★★★★ J_Sifuentes 6/17/2022 v2.09.01
Not Good
How am I supposed to actually bass boost my music if it won’t let me use the music I have on Apple Music and I need some instructions to make the music that I want able to play.
★★★★ iamcxdy 5/27/2022 v2.09.01
Waste of time and money
Cant even play songs from apple music let alone files and when you try to use google drive it blocks the app because its deemed “suspicious activity”
its a complete waste of time and money. dont waste your time downloading this app.
★★★★ 🐒🐵🙈🙉🙊🦍🦧 5/25/2022 v2.09.01
It’s bad
If I could I would give it a 0 because I don’t have Apple Music and you can’t get music from any other app
★★★★ crloschades 5/21/2022 v2.09.01
Horrible app
doesn’t work and is always crashing
★★★★★ MMedina96 7/22/2024 v2.10.00
Disappointed on playback
Don’t get me wrong it does definitely improve the sound quality of the music BUT, it doesn’t play all my songs unfortunately this app has or had a lot of potential. It would’ve been worth subscribing but not till I noticed the flaw
★★★★★ Trinity!!!! 1/20/2024 v2.10.00
Scam
The app is a scam it doesn’t even work
★★★★★ Long Nuttz 11/26/2023 v2.10.00
Mike
I haven’t bought the app yet but it seems to be ok but nothing special to make it worth $10 a month. More on the lines of what you would expect from a free app
★★★★★ gorilla_tagger :) 6/28/2023 v2.10.00
confusing to set up
whenever i downloaded the app on my iphone, i expected to play whatever but i was greeted to only one song and it was restricted because a “copyright” issues. can someone help me out on this?
★★★★★ Denldonovan 2/17/2023 v2.09.06
Copyright Restrictions
I can’t play my songs due to copyright restrictions. Any advice how to fix this? I love the bass and sound boost!
★★★★★ STEVEUPINNH 8/27/2022 v2.09.01
Disappointed
IF ITS ME.. Ill gladly remove this review.. everything seemed promising.. except for 2 things,
1) using a Brand New and Expensive iPhone 12 Pro,, i was disappointed to see the equalizer, playing the graphics to the music IN BLACK & WHITE… feel like i went back in time to 1960
2) I make a lot of my own music videos and i was surprised i couldn't access ANY OF MY OWN VIDEOS I RECORDED on my iPhone Pro myself
Please let me know if i missed something and ill gladly update this, as IF it IS possible to do what i wanted, its not easily found & possibly WHY the color graphics SHOWN in APP STORE (to me) is MISLEADING because that is BASS ONLY & NOT Playng along with a real graphics display & AGAIN possibly WHY the App Store Add DOESN'T SHOW THE BLACK AND WHITE GRAPHICS DISPLAY..
i expected much better.. ill try again if i see updates as competition isnt much better atleast what ive seen so far..
