First off, let me say that I’ve tried almost all of the offline music apps out there and Anywhere is superior in almost every way except one: it doesn’t support all music file types. I was hesitant to give the app 5 stars for this reason but I don’t want to dissuade others from using it because it’s an overall excellent app. Dev: please add the ability to play ogg files (like other music apps in the App Store). I would gladly continue to pay for premium if you did.Response to dev: thanks for responding but please research codecs. Ogg Vorbis is not an old format. It is an open source compressed format and superior to MP3 while matching the quality of Apple’s AAC (M4A). Also, you cannot convert a lossy format like ogg to lossless formats like FLAC or WAV. It goes the other way: FLAC (lossless compression) —> ogg/aac (lossy compression)
Thanks for your thoughtful review and for recognizing the app’s strengths. We’re glad you’re enjoying it overall!Support for additional file formats, including .ogg, is under consideration and on our to-do list, but we can’t guarantee when or if it will be implemented, to be honest.One important thing to understand: the .ogg format is NOT natively supported by iOS, and we rely on Apple’s built-in, highly optimized audio engine. This ensures the best possible performance and battery life on iPhones or any other Apple devices. For example, we will be adding support for the Apple Watch app, which can’t play .ogg files at all. Those would need to be converted in real time to formats like m4a before being transferred to the watch. So on iPhone, .ogg is a battery-draining format - why use something not supported?If you want the smoothest experience, we strongly recommend converting your .ogg files to a format like FLAC or WAV - both are fully supported by iOS and offer excellent sound quality. That path is honestly far better than trying to force support for older, less efficient formats.Thanks again for supporting the app. If you need help with conversion tools or anything else, feel free to reach out via "support@offlinemusicplayer.app"
