Awesome Local Files Music App
5 stars for the pro version. I listen to local music files (especially live concert recordings) and had problems with apps that are increasingly streaming oriented. Spotify wouldnt let me play many of my local files that it confused with streaming version, no such problems with MusiCloud. Tunes wouldnt let me upload music to my phone over wifi without connecting via USB first (USB storage devices are blocked on my computer for security reasons). This MusiCloud app let me transfer all my local files to my phone over wifi without even needing to install software on my computer - you just use your browser (reverse direction transfer also supported).
I see theres also several cloud options for uploading/downloading music to your phone, though I havent tried them yet.
It is super easy to set up playlists (very cool filter feature to find the files you want). I have not had a single crash after about 10 hours of total use spread across multiple days (iPhone 6 Plus on latest iOS). I see theres a bug report feature so hopefully they are addressing whatever issues users experience.
In the version I used it appears to be true that if you upload files and set up playlists with the free version you have to do this again if you upgrade to the pro version. I also experienced the nagware element and excessive ads in the free version. Bummer but lucky for MusiCloud owner this drove me to purchase the pro version right away so I wouldnt lose any set up effort and could ditch the ads. For the $3 or so it cost me it is a bargain for such a useful app which I am using all the time now. Im so happy with this app that I gave it 5 stars even though the free version is lacking (think of it as just a demo - try it and then if you like it delete it and install the pro version).
If I had one beef with the pro version it is that it periodically asks you to rate it. I didnt want to rate it until I used it for several days so the prompt was a little annoying. Now that I have rated it in the pro version I expect to no longer be prompted and going forward this is an awesome app.
