Comments on Sona - Music Player for Android

★★★★★ Zukhanye Mpikwa · Sep 2, 2026

This is the best offline music you download your favorite music to listen by your self without data and wi-fi anywhere you go.

★★★★★ Loki · Sep 3, 2026

The best, better than Spotify, I love the offline feature, I hope nothing else changes except maybe add more settings and a search bar to those settings, also if you are tired of ads, just go offline, once you used most of your patience to get your songs over, you don't have to deal with them anymore because ads only work if you're online, also, please add an account link to be able to transfer phones without losing all my songs, anyway please download this app, I highly recommend.

I believe love this app foster on the raven.\nHad my favorite song, and you don't pay for that's where I love about this

★★☆☆☆ D&E · Sep 16, 2026

Very good offline music player. Better than other music apps such as Spotify and MusiVibe music app. Minimum ads and without interrupting music play. This app also searches song lyrics for you automatically if the lyrics are available. However, after using the app for a few weeks, there is a message within the app asking to upgrade to Sona Pro music player and the Pro app is not available to where I live. I couldn't get the SONA music app works any more and could not retrieve my songs. ☹️
