MiniMoon: Offline Music Player

Minimoon is the only music player I have been able to find on iOS that combines ease of use, functionality, and superb aesthetics. I have only had issues with one aspect; synced lyrics. As far as I’ve seen after experimenting, the player does not support embedded lyrics. It instead displays them as they’d appear in an .lrc file, i.e., [timestamp] (lyrics), as well as not syncing with the song. If this feature could be added it would boost this to a five star perfect app for me. Also, if I’m doing something wrong and the player does support embedded lyrics I would appreciate if the dev could tell me what I’m doing wrong. Otherwise, love the app and I would recommend its one-time purchase for the full version! Btw I love the icon, it’s very charming.

This app is a pretty amazing achievement because this is the first time I’ve ever used a third party music app on iOS that’s actually good. I do have a few ideas for improvements though, in my opinion. - Change the shuffle behavior so that all tracks are shuffled when I play from a list of all my songs, not just the songs alphabetically ahead - I have a /lot/ of songs on my phone, so something to be able to quickly scrub through them would be really nice because currently it takes ages to get through them - Tapping the bottom bar should just take me to the now playing screen and not the album screen at all - The icon needs to be updated lol Other than that there’s not really that much I can think of that I’d change. This app is amazing and I’d recommend it to anyone who prefers using local music.

For content you have, this has to be *the best* music player for iOS. Now that doesn’t mean it’s perfectly rid of quirks but it’s quite polished and free to use for basic core functions (I used it for a day and liked it so much ended up buying the full version). The most convincing reason to me though is that you don’t have to worry about an arbitrary service agreement that might have “your music” being gone one day. Additionally, the developer is quite responsive and get this, actually cares about what they’re working on. What a crazy concept in 2025. If you’re still reading this, just download MiniMoon already and don’t be afraid to dig in to take the time to sort out your music files. You won’t regret it!
