Documented features
The competitor column describes its Android edition. It is not an iPhone feature comparison or a promise of equivalent features after switching platforms.

Not verified means this review has not established the feature for the named edition; it does not mean absent. Links beside entries lead to supporting product documentation. Hardware support, app versions, subscriptions and add-ons can change the result.
Poweramp: documented strengths
The linked official product page describes Poweramp for Android. An iPhone edition was not listed in the sources reviewed on 17 October 2026. This compares workflows across platforms, not two iPhone apps.
MP95: capabilities and limits
MP95 plays your own files with a retro interface, EQ, ReplayGain, gapless and optional sound processing. DSD is converted to PCM; native DSD and DoP are not provided. Rate matching depends on the operating system, output route and hardware. Processing must be bypassed when checking unchanged samples.
On Android the app is free. On Apple platforms there is a free tier and optional Pro plans, including a lifetime option. MP95 does not include a streaming music catalogue. External file providers may need their own account or internet connection.
Choosing for your library
If you are moving to iPhone, compare MP95 with other available iOS players. Do not assume that playlists, purchases or every Android feature transfer to the new app.
Sources and review scope

Frequently asked questions
Does “Not verified” mean the feature is missing?
No. It means this review has not confirmed the feature for the edition shown. Check the linked product documentation or ask the developer before relying on it.
Is this an independent review?
No. MP95 is our app. We link the official sources used for competitor claims, identify the reviewed edition and separate unknowns from documented features.
Can a playlist or protected download move between these apps?
Do not assume so. File permissions, DRM, playlist formats and app databases differ. Keep originals and check each app’s import and export documentation.
