A barebones effort, saved only by FLAC support

TL;DR - feels like clunky abandonware and a missed opportunity. If you want to know more, read on.

I've used this app for a number of years, - on both the Mac and iOS. When I first started, it had a great value proposition: supporting FLAC on Mac and iOS, relatively simple and at the time it was really the only service that had a cloud library.

However, there are a number of problems, and as time marches on, it has not been kind to VOX.

There are a number of issues that I want to highlight, in particular because the competition either does them just as well or better.

First: lack of any discovery features or any smarter ways to organise your library. The moment your music grows in any appreciable size, it becomes impossible to manage through the app, and scrolling long lists of either artists or albums is a poor experience. Considering it's listed in alphabetical order, it's also terrible for showing any kind of favourites that you can pull up quickly, or do any other convenient things. Now, one might say that it's not a library management device, but rather just a simple music player, - but I don't buy this.

Why? - they provide their own cloud service to upload your music, which is mostly fine, but since there's a content managed by the app and a backend that can appear in the UI. Not to mention the various integrations you can have with other services. It's already ventured at this point beyond a simple player. There's also bloatware in form of "radio" - if you're concentrating on "simple music", don't include this in your player.

Two: continuing on the user experience, - for a native app on both platforms, there's surprisingly little support of the new features and user interface improvements. Navigation is clunky and non-intuitive, with weird custom components that don't feel premium or native, at least in 2021. No support of widgets, dark mode, or really any other API that would make this app feel polished and at home on any given OS. It feels like abandonware, which for a service that happily takes your money for basic player features such as EQ is poor practice.

Further to that, - let's say you have a local upload of an album, and a music service integration that also features that album. There's absolutely no way to tell just by looking at them where the album is sourced from; they simply appear in a list, with no differentiation.

There are lots of other problems to pick with this app, and we'd be here all day, so I'll round off with one more note. This is more related to the mobile version, but I'm considering their service as a whole and therefore mobile is fair game. So, here:

- if you have your music in Vox Cloud, and the mobile app has the "cellular" switch set to "off", - the music just doesn't play. You don't get _any_ kind of feedback or suggestion from the UI, - this should be 100% solved with a prompt, - preferably with a button that takes you straight to app's settings to take care of the problem. Without this, it just feels like the app is broken. This isn't simplicity, - this is just laziness and bad design.

Have you guys given up?

Just a DOG!

Looked for itunes replacement but this NOT it! Totally unintuative interface which leaves you scratching your head many times of 'what now'! Things don't respond in acceptable ways and before you know it it's a mess!! Also no explanation if media files are linked from their current on disk location or actually imported into program, try as I might to find it in help files with no luck! So, al in all a very inadequate program with virtually no redeeming features, better stick to iTunes!!!!

Incorrectly reads iTunes

I sued to love this player but recent versions have been reading my iTunes library incorrectly. I have a lot of compilations and VOX keeps listing each track in a compilation as a separate album, more than tripling the number of albums in my library and making it impossible to play any compilation album.
