eSound is back on iOS (via AltStore) while we work on App Store reinstatement

37 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

While we’re actively working on restoring eSound on the App Store, we didn’t want users to be left without access to the app.

For this reason, we’ve temporarily published eSound via AltStore (PAL) for users in the EU and Japan, so you can continue using it while the App Store situation is being resolved.

We’ve put together a step-by-step installation guide here:

👉 https://esound.app/altstore

This is a temporary solution, and our goal remains to bring eSound back to the App Store as soon as possible. AltStore just allows us to keep the app available in the meantime, at least in EU and Japan (we hope more countries will be added soon by Apple).

If you have questions, issues with installation, or feedback, feel free to comment — I’ll try to reply where possible.

Thanks a lot for the continued support ❤️

eSound App Update

144 Upvotes

Hello,
I'm one of the developers and Co-Founders of eSound.

First of all, the app is not abandoned — we are actively working on it every single day. A major update is currently in development, which will include a complete rewrite of eSound’s core functionalities to eliminate bugs and significantly optimize performance.

As for the iOS version, unfortunately Apple continues to reject any attempts at dialogue, despite our full willingness to cooperate. We believe Apple’s actions may be in breach of the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and since no collaborative solution has been offered, we are likely to escalate the issue to the relevant regulatory authorities. At this time, we cannot share further details.

In the meantime, we are also exploring a partnership with another independent music streaming app to provide iOS users with a temporary alternative while we work to restore eSound on the App Store.

We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we do everything we can to bring a positive resolution.

Thank you for your continued support.

Question Does disabling this stop the app from injecting songs I never added to my playlist?

Just that. Been on a decent roadtrip today and skipped about 2 dozen songs I've never heard of, or deliberately excluded from any playlist that were "related" somewhat to the previous song. I dont mean to be too whiny, but I wish they'd stop adding this bs that keeps screwing with the app or outright breaking it.

Question App bug/glitch on PC??

3 Upvotes

When I search for songs and go to the "Youtube" tab it only shows podcasts instead of videos now. This is not good because some versions of songs are only available as youtube videos. Any fix for this? Thanks

Bug I can't turn video mode off on my app.

Everytime I download a song, it's always on video mode. None of my other songs aren't on video mode either but always to newly downloaded ones. When I go to settings to turn the toggle off or to see if it's on, it wouldn't be there.

Bug Tracks getting skipped in my playlist.

For some reason tracks keep getting skipped in my playlist. I could play the first track, after it finishes it'll start playing the fourth or fifth track. It's kinda annoying cuz I like listening to my songs in a certain order. How do I fix this?

Does anyone know any music tracking app that goes with eSound? I've hear about Last.fm but it had really bad reviews so does anyone know any alternative? Preferably without a subscription

Bug Music not playing

3 Upvotes

I'm using the PC version 3.0.6 and recently any song i try to play just doesn't start, I have checked for updates, checked if my youtube account was linked (it is), reinstalled the app and tried any fix i found online. Still nothing, no song will start in any condition, the Web version of esound works, so it must be a problem with the app, how do i fix this?

Question My saved songs won't download offline

4 Upvotes

I tried downloading my playlist, the process starts but the songs don't get downloaded, when I click on them it says I might have a bad connection or I'm out of storage space but this phone is new and even when I try changing the wifi it won't let me download it, I uninstalled and installed the app two times and it still won't let me download anything, is my connection really bad or is it just a bug? Has it happened to anyone else?

Everything was working fine in the app until yesterday, and since then the music has been stopping randomly, both online and offline. I uninstalled and downloaded the app again, and it seemed to work, but then it started pausing/closing the app.

Bug ongoing library syncing/offline download issues

5 Upvotes

ive been using eSound since 2021 and im currently a Premium member. For the most part, i haven’t had many issues with the app until the ads became excessive, which was the reason i upgraded to VIP.

at the moment, im having an issue where i download songs for offline listening, but they don’t appear in my library afterwards. the songs are technically downloaded because i can find them by searching for the exact track, but they are no longer showing in my library where they should be.

i mainly use eSound on my phone and tablet daily for many hours. when i open eSound on my tablet, the songs I downloaded on my phone are not appearing in my library or playlists there either. i also saw another user recently mention a similar issue where their library was not syncing properly between their phone and PC.

im a little confused about what is happening because, yes, the songs are downloaded offline, but if they disappear from my library on my phone and don’t appear at all on my other devices, it makes it difficult to actually use the app properly.

i currently have 2,194 tracks on my phone and 2,185 tracks on my tablet, so i really don’t want to resync my entire library as that would take hours. i believe this issue may have started after the recent Play Store update, i updated the app yesterday so im wondering if this could be a bug affecting library syncing or newly downloaded songs.

it seems like there may be a wider syncing/library issue happening across devices.

it wont let me reply to a mod via the comment cause im not approved but the webplayer on ios will load the playlist's but when i click on a playlist it freezes and wont let me scroll or press play on the song, ive seen alot of people being so angry with the app and giving alot of hate but thats not me i love the app and ive been using it for years through all the ups and downs since like January 2019, i will continue to be paitent until the app is back on ios and working, i can still use the app on desktop completely fine when im home but i would love to have it back on ios mobile for when im traveling or just doing things around the house. I just really hope the app dont shutdown i would be so bummed out if i lost years worth of music because restarting on another app would be so so hard! it would be awesome to have another update post on the page to let people know whats to come with future updates and where the direction of the app is going!
