HighStereo - MP3 Music Player 12+

Great app

I’ve tried at least a dozen internet radio and DNLA apps and this is the one I use the most. Pros: 1) ability to manually enter stations by IP address. 2) Equalizer!!! Free!!! Not only can this be applied to internet stations, but also to the music on your device, and music streamed over a home network; AND it works when sending to Bluetooth devices. I don’t know of any other app that does that. Plus, multiple memories for equalizer settings. I have separate settings for my wired headphones, wireless headphones, earbuds, and Bluetooth speaker. Cons: 1) limited search function for internet stations. 2) No online account to save your list of favorite stations. When installing the app on my iPad, I had to painstakingly manually re-enter a long list of IP addresses. This was really aggravating in a previous version of the app that would lock up on certain stations found on the built in search function, requiring force closing then re-installing the app, loosing all the stations. Fortunately the current version has been stable. My one request is for a way to export your station list to use when installing on another device
ps. On and off the app asks you to write a comment, blocking you from accessing your station list. Even though I upgraded to the paid version, and sent a comment, it is still doing this. So downgrade 1 Star.

Thank you so much for your sincere advice. In the next version, I will add an option that you can export and import the favorite radio station list. And about asking review, I'll also study the way to avoid harassing users, I can't give up itself though.... Thank you so much!

Promising but not quite there

Love the look of the app and the music sounds great but getting to the music on my iPad is clunky and unintuitive, I really had to dabble with the app to get there. I don’t see why this can’t be more simpler, you really have to feel your way around the app to make it work, but once you do, it’s really good so I’m knocking a star off for that, it should be easier to use.

A small but nice touch would be to have album art for the files on my iPad showing somewhere on the app, a thumbnail at the very least would be nice.

Thank you for using HighStereo. If you don't have an experience' on old stereo systems, you may feel difficulty at first, I think. There is an another app, HighAmp which consists of simple tables and lists, and show album arts. Please try it, it might be a better fit for you. Thank you,

Nice Classic Equalizer

First things first I love the 80's radio portion. The user interface could be a little more user friendly when it comes to finding your downloaded songs to be played. The selection of add-on sound effects could be little more other than just nature sound effects. With this being said I purchased the product. After you purchase the product you keep being asked to review it before you can open the Equalizer. This can be annoying hence the forced review here. I don't like being made to review a product in order to avoid a popup review prompt every time I want to use the equalizer especially after I paid for the product. Hopefully now I won't have any more pop-up reviews to do. In all I found the quality to be better than the average equalizers apps in the App store. Plus if you Bluetooth your phone to your stereo or portable speaker the music that comes out sounds amazing. You won't regret it. I found it to be inexpensive. I just wish that it was a little more user friendly.
