DatPiff - Mixtapes & Music Reviews

by Cousin Joshy

Been using this app for a few years, has very exclusive music which I love. Otherwise, it is littered with bugs and poor user-friendliness. For example, i will be playing music from a playlist and the song that is playing, the art displayed, and the song listed at the bottom are all different. Like how is this still an issue, this app has been around forever. Seems like they don’t even have a tech team. Other glitches like not being able to like a song or add it to a playlist are also frustrating.

•Do not like this update. Please bring back where you can tell if there are song’s missing when looking at the playlist. They use to be highlighted in yellow. There is no indicator for missing songs anymore. I don’t want to waste my time playing a CD that has a bunch of missing songs.
•!Playback is also not great. It’s randomly stopping on the next song and I have to keep pressing the start button for it to play. Today it’s terrible. It does it both with app open and closed.
•When it goes to a new song & DatPiff is closed it’ll stop playing. On my lock screen I hit play & it’ll say it’s playing but no sound. I have to open it. Then it resets to 0 time and I have to press play.

I’ve been using DatPiff for years, left away from it for a little while and I come back to it & it’s just so not the same. I can’t listen to a whole mixtape without lagging of a song not being able to play or not available to play. This is not how I remembered DatPiff being like. Just a few days ago I decided to get back on and as I’m playing a mixtape every time or most of the time when a song is about to end, It takes a lil bit for the next song to play or just won’t come on at all and skip to the next one or to a track that will play. In the early we hours of the morning b4 saying this, I was trying to listen to one of my favorite G-Unit radio mixtapes and I could not listen to not one song on that particular mixtape. DatPiff seriously needs some fixing or upgrading to it

DatPiff has been one of my favorites for years…. And it was great for version 4.0-4.x.x
But every since the 5.0 update…. DatPiff is terrible, it’s difficult to access my playlist and liked mixtapes, and I also can’t find where to access my downloads…. My previous downloads won’t recover it says “Something happened try again”….. and when I download a mixtape I can’t find the list of downloads which means I can edit what I have downloaded and I can’t delete it,….. on too of all of that, it doesn’t work with CarPlay anymore…. this app please fix this broken app

I have had the this app app for years, and used the website previously. I used to enjoy the platform for discovering new music, and easily finding old favorites. The current version of DatPiff is abysmal in both regards compared the user-friendly version we’re used to. I’ve added the second star because I have been successful in accessing my saved content for later playback.

A couple of stand-our issues:

- The “What’s Hot” feature no longer lets you sort by date. This is the biggest disappointment as it makes it very hard to find new music. Would love to see What’s hot this week, or this month - not, “here’s what’s hot right now and it’s an album for 7 years ago”.

- The search tool is a disaster. Instead of sorting search results by popular, it appears to sort by key word so we have to scroll endlessly to find the relevant artist or mixtape.

- What is the point of an “Upcoming” section if we can’t bookmark or save the content to access once released? It will just be lost in the library of this mess of an app.

I’m sure the partners are kicking themselves for using the recent devs, but hopefully they can reach a mutual agreement to iron out the major wrinkles in the new version of DatPiff . If another app solved the issues this app would disappear from my phone faster than it takes DatPiff to load. I miss my music.

DatPiff has been redesigned for close to a year as of this review. It still has the same issues it did when it was rolled out.

- Can only play music when my phone is connected to WiFi. I have a 5G connection most of the time and I cannot stream music on DatPiff unless I’m on a WiFi connection.

- Can’t access my library and favorited mixtapes. Just says “no internet connection” even when I’m on WiFi. This issue just popped up this month.

DatPiff redesign looks good and I like how the music plays seamlessly with no load time in between tracks (great for actual mixed/blended tracks on mixtapes) but the two problems listed above really drag DatPiff down. It’s been a year as well and these problems are still happening. DatPiff needs a major “ironing out” of the backend issues for it to be good.

I wanted to download some old mixtapes I used to listen to for work, every other time I tried to download a mixtape DatPiff would crash. I kept reopening and retrying to get the music I wanted. Now today I’m at work and half the things I downloaded aren’t in my library, and some of the mixtapes I did download don’t have any content (the songs just won’t play, it says they’re all 0 seconds long) and according to the comments on those mixtapes they’ve been broken for 7-8 YEARS. The songs I can listen to are buggy too, it will show a different title and album cover than the song I’m actually hearing... Back in the day this app was the one, but nowadays it’s not the same and app just stinks.

DatPiff needs a complete overhaul and some bug changes like being able to click a rapper’s profile to view all of their official mixtapes. Right now if you type in a rapper’s name, you’ll be shown a bunch of fake mixtapes from random people that were posted under the name of the famous rapper. You should also be able to delete songs that you don’t like from mixtapes. You should copy a ton of stuff from Apple Music‼️

Edit: Still missing Sign In with Apple (THIS HAS BEEN FIXED‼️‼️‼️)

Edit: App needs to copy a lot of things from Apple Music‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

I will start off by saying that this is a very beautifully and well put together app. It’s easy to locate the albums and artists you are looking for. My only issue is that I just downloaded this an hour again and starting making a playlist only to find out that DatPiff is glitchy or something because I couldn’t get the songs to play. It would play some and not others. It was very frustrating

Not sure if it's the download music I have or what's going but my app is SLOW! It got so frustrating that I went as far as to just leave one song downloaded for each complete mixtape/album originally downloaded loaded just to maybe help with the lag and delay of my music playing but still the same BS. I went downloaded LiveMixTapes which I use as well as MyMixTapes, AudioMac and even Spindarella but when I want official music and the best I use TIDAL. If I delete this app I'll lose all my music... been there done that but it should be lagging for less than 15 downloaded tapes especially with only a single song on each. The live feature is great it allows me to look at the full albums so need to have the whole tape downloaded but what's the use if we still lagging with one track... get it together y'all was the best for a while now.... not so much

Love DatPiff gives me access to lots of music that you can't just readily play while your phone is off. My issue is with how DatPiff operates. It's hard to sort through your music for just specific songs and to actually shuffle your music in an order you'd like to play it. Also most times when I try to download a project DatPiff closes. These are my critics but DatPiff giving us these mixtapes that can't be on other music streaming apps makes DatPiff well worth the download

This is by far my favorite app for mixtapes and i really like that fact that the adds are minimal. the only issue i have has to do with my iphone not having the home button and in place has the swipe up bar. while playing a song and having the tape open, i will go to close DatPiff and sometimes it will change the song to whatever is closest to the swipe bar. if there is any possible way to fix this it would be hugely appreciated as im sure it happens to other iphone X and above users.

I like DatPiff and it’s mostly good. But every time I open DatPiff , it tells me I need update DatPiff to the current version. The only option is to click the button to take me to DatPiff Store. So I click the button and go to DatPiff Store to find that DatPiff is indeed up to date. Then I open DatPiff from DatPiff Store and it works. This happens every time I use DatPiff . For the last several months. I’m going to try deleting and re-downloading DatPiff next.

by Aangelo12

Honestly, I love DatPiff. This is my go-to app for unreleased songs. I have no problem whatsoever with watching an add to download songs offline. I think it’s great. To me, the only thing missing, is a playlist function. I think that adding a playlist function where you can mix around different mixtapes and single songs in one area would be a very smart idea. If this is added, I believe it would make DatPiff a 5/5.

by Adam5544

The library of DatPiff is very impressive and without any payment you are allowed to download most of it. Though if you are into more current artists or albums downloading might require payment but overall this is not a problem. Some other issues around interface along with bugs and such is overshadowed by an deep collection of all types of mixtapes and albums.

I’m so stupid I can’t believe I’ve known about DatPiff for many years and never downloaded and or used it till about a few days ago I am completely amazed of the amount of content and great music that would normally go forgotten because it was on a mixtape I’m diving into all this great hip-hop and rap music that’s bringing me back to late 90s early 2000’s and literally giving me the vivid images in my head of what I was doing at the time 🔥🔥

by JanieSanto

I’ve been using DatPiff for YEARS now, and originally, I got it because I saw someone else using it to listen to Iggy Azalea’s old music. So I got DatPiff from only her music. I don’t favor any of the other rappers on DatPiff, but it’s a good app overall...but now, I have a problem. DatPiff just logged me out and I don’t like that.

But regardless, Keep up the good work DP ❤️

DatPiff has all the albums and mixtapes it has on the website. Plays music when you exit DatPiff AAANNNDD it allows you to change songs too! It’s got ads BUT what you expect for a FREE app... tf?!? They gotta get bank somewhere... you can also download the songs and albums too!!

Smooth operating interface too. I like it. I would improve the search song feature to give it more freedom and pick up on close generalizations from key words. It seems sometimes that you have to be pretty exact to find what you want. Other than that.... FREAKIN awesome!

by Accessable Issue

So im blind and use voiceover and have been using datpiffs website for years. That site is great and then came DatPiff . When I first downloaded DatPiff a few years ago it wasnt accessible or usible with voiceover at all. Until recently. And i am enjoying and loving DatPiff . Please keep it this way and accessible. A suggestion. If theres missing songs in the mixtapes. instead of the song name it should say something like. Missing song. I think I ran in to a few missing songs and i didnt know and they wouldn't play. But im enjoying DatPiff. Again. Please keep it accessible.

by Wolflover64

Thanks to the update it’s easier to use DatPiff On the iPhone X and up. Before every time I tried to swipe out, it would switch songs or change albums whenever I clicked out! This redesign is absolutely beautiful! Keep up the fixes!!

by RealHomelessJTrump4

This apps takes forever to load after you click on a tape or search for one. When you click on one it denies showing the tracks so it’s impossible to play any, and when you search it shows a loading screen for maybe 30 seconds before going back to the popular search screen. I’ll redownload when bugs are fixed

by Jonsenior_prdn

Why screenshot? Cause:
I want to share it with my friends however people and even your friends get desensitized by receiving the communication you are giving them through the same method. So - links to sm, pm, or dm get saturated imo. So pics in your inbox sometimes work. However now-I have to double tap or swipe to get back to what I was doing because you didn’t leave a space in your app for the answer.

When I play my music on DatPiff and decide to leave it and just surf the web or use another app, it keeps automatically skipping the tracks in que by itself. I don’t know if it’s because I use a vpn when in class or what but it’s a reoccurring issue that needs to be fixed. Despite all that I still like DatPiff and what it offers in unreleased music and mixtapes.

by Joseph Degrand

Don’t get me wrong, I. Love. This. App! The amount of mixtapes and EPs is insane. The minute amount of ads is great. However, just one thing. Trying to close DatPiff is a hassle. I could be playing a mixtape and trying to exit DatPiff but instead it’ll just play another song. Definitely think this could be be improved in the future. Thanks!

by Boston-stay Strong

I really love DatPiff, has tons of music you can’t find easily elsewhere in one place. My only problem is the ads are annoying, every other album i click on there’s an ad makes it’s harder for me to get into new music. I’d pay a lil bit of bread, one time fee to remove ads. Ads make DatPiff hard to use and i like using this app.

by CeeDaMacc

this app is the best free mixtape streaming/download service out there. It's free download feature allows it to make it to the charts & get the attention of other music artist who support this movement. This makes this app one of a kind as of now. Better than it's competition and other music streaming services that aren't even in the same league.

by Mac Rentla

Great app but if y'all made it easier to search and categorize through downloaded music would get 5 stars. Provide options like search by artist or better view when scrolling
