Looking for an Android player on iPhone?
AIMP for iPhone
AIMP is a Windows and Android player; there is no AIMP for iPhone. If you moved from Android and want an offline player for your own files, here is what covers it on iOS.
AlternativesPoweramp for iPhone
Poweramp is Android-only; there is no Poweramp for iPhone. For its strengths on iOS (local files, a strong EQ, gapless, folders), MP95 is the closest match, with retro machines.
AlternativesMusicolet for iPhone
Musicolet is an Android-only offline player with no ads and no internet permission. There is no iOS version. MP95 is the iPhone player with the same principles.
AlternativesWinamp for iPhone
The Winamp app on iOS is a streaming platform with local playback, not the classic player. If you miss the object, MP95 gives you a cassette deck, a turntable and a click wheel.
