Value score / 100 Worth paying? Depends It depends

Audiomack offers a vast music library and offline playback for free, but frequent and unskippable ads, along with paywalled features and songs, significantly detract from the user experience.

Free + in-app purchases seen up to $54.99 4.8★ lifetime (1,983,144) since 2014

Audiomack is a music app praised for its extensive library, free downloads, and offline listening capabilities, making it a strong alternative to paid services like Spotify R2R30R36. However, the free tier is heavily monetized with numerous ads, some unskippable, and many songs and features are locked behind a premium subscription, leading to user frustration R6R13R23R29.

Free vs paid

The free version of Audiomack provides access to a large music library, free downloads for offline listening, background play, and features like repeating songs and a sleep timer R2R30R35. However, this free experience is severely impacted by frequent ads that appear when clicking on songs, searching, opening the app, or after every song, with some ads being unskippable R6R13R23R100. Users also report a limited number of free downloads (around 50) before a subscription is required R421, and many popular or recent songs are locked behind a paywall R23R29R57R128. The paid subscription, which costs $6.99 according to one review, removes ads and unlocks all songs and unlimited downloads R4R146R57.

Worth paying if

It is worth paying for Audiomack if you frequently encounter unskippable ads or paywalled songs that you want to listen to, and if you value unlimited downloads and an ad-free experience R4R13R23R57. It could also be a good option if you prefer its specific features like Audiomods for speeding up or slowing down tracks, provided you are willing to pay for the full experience .

Skip / stay free if

You should skip paying for Audiomack if you are looking for a completely free music streaming experience without constant interruptions from ads, or if you find the app's library incomplete for your taste even with premium R13. Users who experience frequent app crashes or bugs with offline playback should also reconsider, as these issues persist regardless of payment .

Evidence note: Recent reviews (mostly 1-3 stars) heavily emphasize ad frequency and paywalls, contrasting with the high lifetime rating which likely reflects an earlier, less monetized version of the app. Many positive reviews are short and lack detail, or are contradicted by more recent, detailed negative reviews regarding ads and paywalls.

  1. [R6] 1/5 · US Too much Ads: Reduce hands on Ads. Everything Ads. Sharp app shaa.
  2. [R13] 1/5 · US I would rate it five starts but…: Every time you click on a song or a button, there’s an ad, and some of us are too broke to pay for music, reduce the ads and make some features free Edit: now I can’t skip the ads, this makes my life more depressing… why are you giving me unskippable ads now?! "Ads make our music app free and they support the app" how the hell does ads an making people suffer sup
  3. [R23] 3/5 · US recent songs are blocked by subscription: has every song i want, no ads during songs, unlimited plays, and it plays in the background. i'm so grateful to finally find an app like this, i really hope it doesn't change or get taken down like the others :( edit: unfortunately after i wrote this, i got an ad after every song. i don't mind this but it wouldn't let me skip the ad or even continue playi
  4. [R100] 2/5 · US They ruined it: I guess most of the reviews are from before but now when you try to use it there are so many ads at first it was manageable a few pop ups every now and then an actual ad, But now they have them everywhere in between songs, When you try to click anything they went from minimal ads to alot, The bright side though is you can still skip and click anything song you want with no limit
  5. [R29] 3/5 · US Premium for listening to some songs?: It’s kinda dumb when you need premium for some music you wanna listen to
  6. [R57] 3/5 · US It’s okay: Honestly it’s good but there are way too many ads to download all the songs I want. Not to mention I have to have a subscription to unlock many of my favorite songs.
  7. [R128] 1/5 · US Terrible: All the music I listen to is behind a pay wall and all the music that’s not has horrible sound quality I used to love audiomack a few years ago but they changed
  8. [R421] 3/5 · GB Useful- but annoying: I only got this app because it said I could download my music and didn’t have to pay, but it didn’t clarify that you only get 50 free downloads and then you have to get a subscription to “unlock” further downloads. It’s really annoying having to hand pick the songs I want to pick without having to pay just to add more (I’d be happy to pay, but I’ve only had the app for a litt
  9. [R163] 3/5 · US Scam?: Ya people say it works offline but it says you'd have to pay to download music and you need a subscription and I was only able to download one music which that sucks
  10. [R161] 3/5 · US Ads: I can’t hit the x to get out the ads it’s to Tiny
  11. [R325] 3/5 · GB Fine: It’s a decent app but the adverts are literally impossible to exit, I can’t listen to a song without having to watch an ad and get stuck for 10 minutes trying to close it because of how small the button is
  12. [R410] 3/5 · GB meh app: i used to love this app and use it everyday but now its impossible to use, any song you try to play/download you get hit with an ad, and most of the time the skip buttons on these are impossible to press causing you to restart the app only to know that your song didnt play/download
  13. [R146] 1/5 · US Too much Ads: Could you please clarify whether the app is currently streaming music or advertisements? I find it puzzling to wait for a full minute of ads when my intention is to listen to three minutes of music. Additionally, the premium option to eliminate ads is priced at $6.99.
  14. [R149] 2/5 · US Not what it used to be: I’ve had this app for years now, originally on my last phone and now on this one. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t live to the hype anymore. What used to be an ‘ad-free’ service is now plagued by ads. You want to search something? Ad. You want to shuffle? Ad. You want to even open the app? Ad. Not to mention the songs you likely want are all premium now. Why would I pay for p
  15. [R2] 5/5 · US Omg bro da sigma: Is so bloody good brah got to try it on my unborn kins it amazing everything you can possibly think of so sigma so good so good it astounds me to think that some song I wouldn’t think could be on it but it has it like what the what? It just fantastic bruh got to try it urrrrself you gain so much aura you and your zesty and your bestie try it out free to like good good stuff
  16. [R377] 3/5 · GB Adds: I was gonna say it’s a great app when just downloaded it, however now my mind has changed a bit. So this app has a big range of songs where you can find almost anything + even some uncommon remixes which is really useful; you can download songs and listen to music offline which is great benefit that make it different from other music apps. However the enormous amount of adds fricks me out so
  17. [R30] 5/5 · US Awesome App: I am amazed by the features of this app. They have free downloads (offline music), same song repeating, a sleep timer (song snoozing), popular songs, and so much more. I highly recommend this app. Spotify is really good, but if you are like me and don’t want to pay for many features, then download this app.
  18. [R35] 5/5 · US Good: Nice and you don’t need WiFi or to pay for anything
  19. [R38] 5/5 · US Great for Worship: This app is fantastic! I was looking for worship music to lose myself to in the car. Not only did I find my favorite songs for free, I was able to download the entire album! For free! Amazing…thank you for this app 🙏 Hebrews 11:1 Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things unseen. God bless!
  20. [R40] 5/5 · US Perfect: When there is adds the music still plays !!!! Has everything you can dalowed the when you have no internet and listen 10/10
  21. [R4] 5/5 · US Best music app: Perfect for music and the subscription is common to keep it going and the adds are pretty simple and fast and aren’t every song you listen to this is better then Spotify honestly and YouTube music
  22. [R37] 5/5 · US Better than Spotify: Not an ad ever 5 seconds and when there is an ad the song plays during the ad so you can listen during the ad and the skip ad button appears quick and my favorite songs be on here so W 😁😃
  23. [R25] 5/5 · US Better than Spotify: This app is so much better than Spotify
  24. [R36] 5/5 · US best app: SO MUCH BETTER THE SPOTIFI OR YTUB MUSIC LOVE THIS APP
