Best app ever. Well I have purchased apps that “try” and do what this app does but it never works out...this app with a few clicks will move your playlists to whatever music app you have it’s worth the money. Download it..

Musicamaestro!. Easy to use. I like the feature that tells you what song wasn't found. Saved me a lot of time. Highly recommend it!

My purchase is worthless. I loved Houdini when it was a one time purchase. As another reviewer pointed out, it’s understandable that the app would switch to a subscription model, but I don’t get anything for being an early adopter of the app when it was a singular purchase. Lame. I won’t be using Houdini any more because I don’t transfer playlists enough to warrant a 0.99/month subscription.

Does exactly what you want. It's a really simple app that has a low flat cost and has no b.s.. Took care of me in less than 5 minutes.

Great customer support. I contacted support after a certain feature wasn't working and they worked with me to roll out updates that fixed it. Great experience and app works great 👍🏼👍🏼

So Good!. Compared to SongShift, this was so much easier to use. With SongShift in made me put in my AppleId and passwords but it still don’t work. For this one, all I had to do was click Apple and it connected to my Apple account without having to sign in or use any of my passwords and made it so much easier to transfer all my playlist over to Apple.

Great app!. Only thing missing is the ability to automatically keep playlists synchronized. Can you please add in future update?

Very very good. Much better than soundiiz and the other apps out there - this actually got it correct

Does exactly what you need. Worked perfectly, took just minutes to transfer playlists that were hundreds of songs long. Highly recommend for only $3.

Amazing accuracy. Matched 99% of the songs I tried to import. Other apps had terrible accuracy causing me to almost give up, until I found this app!

Transfer. I tried 6 other apps and none of them worked before I sucked it up and purchased this one. It worked and I’m happy. Hopefully one day soon you’ll be able to transfer all music instead of just the playlist.

Amazing. Love this app! It’s such a life saver for those times when I don’t want to be depressed looking at a black background or when I need to listen to music between multiple devices like normal people!

Not working. I wish I could give it 5 stars because it used to work. Right now when selecting Apple Music it’s stuck on authorizing screen I tried to speak to customer support but they haven’t answered it’s been over a day. I hope it gets fixed soon so i can give the stars it’s deserves

Thank you, Houdini!. I never write reviews but I just had to for Houdini. I used another playlist transfer app upon my switch to Apple Music, but I went in to find short playlists, random songs missing and it was just a disaster. I deleted them all and installed Houdini. Well, it was just awesome. Found all my songs (even the weird obscure ones) and transferred them flawlessly in order and notified me of any it couldn’t find. I’m now fully transferred over and don’t have to worry that any songs are missing. The $2.99 price tag is also super economical, considering some of its competitors’ prices. Thanks for a great app!

Almost perfect. Only problem was after I spent time picking out my playlists that I wanted to transfer and it gave me a list of songs that didn't match - but trying to "share" that list crashed it. Was frustrating but otherwise did its thing in the background while I was at work transfered something like 3k songs

Amazing!. The best transfer app out there! I've tried all of the ones from the App Store and this is definitely the easiest, quickest, and fast! I transferred around 4200 songs in 30 minutes! :)

Worked Flawlessly. Totally worth the money. Just transferred everything over and didn’t glitch out like other apps I’ve tried. Buy it now!!

Good advertising / Bad Performance. It states you can “easily” transfer your playlists from on streaming service to other. Then out of 33,000 songs, they can only transfer 5,000 due to their own limitations. Then out of 5,000 they can only make it in slots of 2,000 each. Then out of these 2,000 only 1,000 are available in the servers for transfering. Less than 3% of my library trasferred. That is not stated anywhere when you buy the app.

Solid utility for playlist transfer. If you are moving from one service to another or bounce back and forth, this is the easiest app I've used. I think it can handle the songs it can't match better but it's minor issue. Worth it.

Great idea, extremely buggy. Love concept, and when it works, it’s great. Unfortunately almost every time you try to link a new playlist, you get transfer errors with no explanations. Hopefully the app fixes it long term - in the meantime SongShift is a more consistent service.

Awesome. I was hesitant for the 3$ but this app took 1 min max when the other app I was using spent over an hour and it didn’t even work this is the best.

Amazing. Hands down, the best transferring app out there. It’s just $3 compared to stamp which is $10 (which is honestly just oppressive, smh). ALSO, their UI is beautiful, it quickly and simply walks you through step by step. and, the few times they don’t get a song, they give you the option to export into your notes which is a game changer :D now i can go back and just manually search for those songs. keep up the great work!

Music transfer. All these other apps I’ve been having problems with, and this one does it super fast and takes little to no time. Thanks!!

Solid performer!. Well built simple application that does exactly what you needed to do! This app uses your installed media applications to authenticate so no passwords required. Found no bugs. Suggested to developer an improvement to date last transferred lists.

Easily worth the pricetag.. Tranferred thousands of songs in minutes. Missed ~50 of them (as they can't be found on iTunes) - no complaints. Thanks Houdini!

Simply perfect. This is the only transfer app I have ever used and as it is. I would never use another. Besides a few songs, it has consistently found matches to all of my playlists. Also it is very fast. Maybe a minute at the most, and that's for insanely large playlists. 10/10 would recommend

Disappointed. I have supported this app for years even back to the old red logo. I paid $0.99 for this app back then and have since been told I have to pay for the subscription. Annoying that they can just change the rules and pricing after I purchased the app and it’s services outright.

DONT BUY THEY’RE SCAMMING PEOPLE WILL NOT REPLY. I paid outright for the app for full lifetime access, and they still want me to pay subscription. I’ve written customer service multiple times and I’ve provided my original iTunes App Store receipt with the same account same email and everything. I have yet to receive any response Apple you should ban these guys. This is becoming a pattern from developers more and more it’s unfortunate, because initially this was a some really awesome software.

Quick Simple Easy. This app is worth its weight in gold. Other apps I saw were more expensive for doing the same thing. It only took about 15min to transfer my entire library including each individual playlist.

Great worked first time. Wasted a half hour on other apps finally decided to pay the 3$ and it was totally worth it took 4 minutes to transfer all of my songs

Some flaws but still works. I haven’t tried the other services so I do not have a comparison. It works well for any playlists I had under 500 songs The ones with 1000+ never finished and had variety of issues

It Does Exactly What You Want. I've been looking for an app to transfer playlists that are quite large in size. Other apps only gave me 40 of my 140 songs i tried to transfer. However this one transfers all songs rather quickly and notifies you if certain songs could not be added. Excellent quality!

it doesn’t transfer anything. usually, i don’t go out of my way to write reviews but this actually upset me. i was looking for songshift (very good app i recommend that instead) alternatives because they stopped allowing you to scan your songs for free. i found houdini and thought it was a good deal. .99 cents to transfer and update playlists, who wouldn’t take that? however, it doesn’t give you a free trial to see if it works, which is kinda shady but i didn’t mind it because it was only .99 cents. It won’t transfer any of my playlists -_-. whenever i click the “open in [insert streaming service]” button it tells me that there is an error. absolute waste of .99 cents. i will just stick to songshift and might even play 6 dollars in order to scan my playlists for new songs.

Nearly perfect transfer app. Houdini is definitely miles ahead of the other music streaming transfer apps (namely Stamp). Other apps tend to not transfer up to 40% of the songs. It's rare that Houdini doesn't transfer or at least find a similar match. My only issue is that when the songs transfer, they don't transfer with the artwork I had on my previous subscription. It also tends to shuffle the list so that they are not in the same order as my original playlist. All that said, it's definitely not the end of the world, and this is easily the best one to choose.

Purchased but now the purchase expired?. So I foolishly updated this app which I’d previously purchased, and now it says the app requires a subscription, and there’s a “restore purchase” button that apparently is fake (the “terms of use” and “privacy policy” buttons that look similar both work perfectly) I guess at least if you pay for a subscription you’ll know for a fact you don’t own it

Works Well :). My only complaint is that about 400 songs out of 1050 weren't found, which seems like a lot but most of them were Ghibli soundtracks (like 200 songs) and music downloaded outside of Apple Music anyway. I was still saved a lot of time and effort, so I'm happy! My playlists are also in the same order 👌

Worked Perfectly. I've been wanting to make the move to Apple Music but didn't want to have to manually rebuild my playlists. I have a lot of them. This app did a great job helping me make the switch. The $3 fee was worth it for the hours or possibly days of time saved doing this manually. It only took about 10 minutes and I'm finished.

900 Songs- 90 Seconds. Worked amazingly, only missing twenty of the 900 (likely due to the songs not being available at all) helped me transfer my entire library very quickly. Feature request would be to be able to select ALL songs instead of just playlists, otherwise flawless

Absolutely amazing - and FAST!. Works really well, and puts other music transfer apps to shame! My 250-song playlist transferred in seconds flat. Houdini is aptly named, its like magic how well this app works.

App works great, support is great. The features and functionality of an app is important. This app connects to music streaming services easily, and the auto sync is great to keep playlists updated no matter which service you make the change in. As for support, I have nothing but really positive things to say about the experience. Good communication, quick resolution, and very friendly.

Works well. Transferred all my songs but I wish it would transfer my playlist photo cover image.

Amazing Music Transfer App. Works amazing. It only ever missed songs I had uploaded and weren’t avail on the platform I was transferring to. Sometimes it would capture the clean versions of songs instead of explicit but it was rare. Highly recommended.

Spotty. Overall an OK app. Wasn’t able to get it to work with Apple Music - so beware, if you’re trying to transfer to/from Apple Music, this may not work for you. Save yourself the $0.99 and try a more reliable app. This one refers to an online FAQ to resolve the Apple Music problem… which just says some nonsense about Apple Music not being installed on the device. This is despite logging into the app using my apple information on an iPhone. A manual Apple Music login feature would be a nice workaround for the integration failure, if possible.

Accurate and Fast. Transferred over 1000 songs in around 10 minutes. Only a few songs weren't found, but I could easily save a list of those to my notes. Definitely worth the price.

Blows away the competition. Absolutely fantastic! I spent more time reading negative reviews about Stamp than it took for Houdini to transfer all my playlists to Apple Music. Found 734 out of 736 tracks, A+!

🔥🙌🏾 good app and does what it says.. Love this app! I'm able to share playlist across platforms and it super user friendly Highly recommend 👍

No trial!. I’m very upset. When you first open the app it has you pick which source you want your playlists from and give them access to it. But then it won’t allow you to even try and see if it will transfer the playlists you want without paying. I like to copy my release radar playlists to another app since I don’t always get to listen all of it and if I don’t it’s gone forever. SongShift used to be able to do this but has stopped. Why then would I put money into something without knowing if it will actually do what I want. There should at least be one playlist trial and a way to disconnect my music account access without having to pay. Horrible biz ethos! Beyond disappointed.

Previous purchasers left with useless app. I purchased this app in 2018. Back then, it was a one-time purchase. Since then, they’ve switched to a subscription model (as most apps have). That’s all fine, but if apps do that, the respectable thing to do is to preserve the usefulness of the app for those who already paid. But instead, the restore purchases button does nothing and I’m stuck with an app that merely shows me a paywall. What a great waste of money! Additionally, I e-mailed their support about this a month ago - wanted to give a chance for them to make it right. But after a month, I still have not received a response, which just seems really unprofessional. Oh well - guess it’s back to manual playlist transfers 🤷🏻‍♂️

Doesn’t work. Scam!!!. 99 cents to transfer and update playlists isn’t bad. However, it doesn't give you a free trial to see if it works, which is kinda shady but it was only 99 cents. This app is a scam. It won't transfer any of my playlists. Whenever I try to start a playlist transfer, it shows the playlist but ain’t sure the subs in it. Then it would just say “transfer error”. Absolute waste of .99 cents. I definitely think this app developer is a scammer as nobody who’s legit would have an app in the App Store that’s free to download but upon downloading are required to pay to even access the app or basic features. Basic features that were never intended to work since this app is a scam!

Works as intended!. Worth the price. Made switching my music streaming apps a breeze. Matched nearly all of my songs (only missed 3 out of nearly 300). No upsells, no drama, completed the transfer in minutes.

False advertising. How did it get through App Store reviews?. The app is advertised as freemium. I was expecting to be able to try it out with limited functionality before subscribing, but the first thing you see when you start the app is a paywall with a subscribe button. There is no way to get past this to even see what the app looks like or what it actually does. I thought part of the App Store rules was that if you put an app for free with IAP it had to offer at least some kind of functionality unless it was a reader app (like Netflix). This just feels scammy.

Great but wish it could transfer more songs at once. This app would be perfect if it could transfer all my playlists at once. Instead it can only do up to 2,000 songs at a time which takes quite a while if you have a large library. Also I wish there was a way to transfer my saved songs as well as my playlists.

Fabulous Application. Absolutely fantastic app, works exactly as advertised and with no major issues. The only problem I had was it couldn’t find songs that weren’t released on Apple Music, so there’s no problem there. It did duplicate some songs that exist in multiple albums but that happened to 13 of them. I would prefer for it to give them both to me rather and let me decide which version I like. Only piece of feedback I have would be provide the user with a dialogue box, or perhaps a menu above the failed matches to let us decide which songs to actually transfer between services. If the user does not choose one, it transfers all versions of the song. I don’t see this as a ‘must-have’, but it could be useful in some circumstances. The app provides a full list of these songs it couldn’t match BEFORE you transfer. Fantastic matching, I had no incorrect matches. Cheaper than all the competition as well. Good work! Definite recommendation.

Fails to be able to connect at Apple Music. Says could not connect to Apple Music check out the FAQ for more info. But the developer web site has no FAQ. Just an email contact. Really not helpful after paying $6 for an app.

Pretty good. Pros • transfers music and playlists from Spotify to Apple Music Cons • the sign-in process with Spotify needs to be repeated every time • sometimes fails when too many songs are selected to match • can be a little slow

Excellent music playlist tool. Does exactly what it says, allowing playlists to be shared between Spotify and iTunes.

App doesn’t work at all. The app will continually throw up “transfer error will try again later” with absolute consistency. It has not managed to transfer a single playlist.

Never Worked. Would give it more stars if I could, but for the life of me I couldn’t get it to work. Every playlist just sits at ‘queued’ and then error exclamation! Tried to contact support no answer. Not worth the $1.49 to even try it I’m afraid.

Pathetic. If I could I would give it no stars I paid $5 for a waste of an app It didn’t even let me open the app

Avoid. This app doesn’t work. Flat out doesn’t. No support either

Works like a charm!. Have imported/exported from and to Apple Music and Spotify, quickly and easily. Have used other desktop applications before that were mch slower and complicated. Hats off to the devs who worked on Houdini.;)

A must buy. Love this app

Quick and Easy. Was super impressed. 5 clicks and I had all my Spotify songs on Apple Music!!!

Good for small playlists, useless for large ones.. Transferred most of my playlists with a bit of trouble asking the way, but completely kicked the bucket with the larger ones (2000+ songs). Tried multiple times to no avail before I gave up and used another web-based service that did the job flawlessly.

false advertising. am not able to transfer ALL songs from spotify to apple music in one process. only playlists are available to transfer.

Real fast. Great work guys, fast, efficient, exactly as described.

They Ruined It…. I used to own this app, but then they updated it to a subscription model and now I no longer can use the app without subscribing. No thanks.

Works amazing and very quickly. didn’t transfer a few of my songs but only because they weren’t on apple music 10/10

Bag. It doesn’t work, please back my money

Perfect. Only took 2 mins to transfer all my songs from apple music to spotify :)

Does what it promises and is easy to use. It's been really great so far. I don't usually buy apps but I just switched from spotify to apple music and was sad about losing all my playlists that I'd made over the past year with spotify so for only $4 being able to transfer them over is such a life saver and completely worth it. For some of the bigger playlists it does miss a few songs but it's great that it tells you which ones so you can manually add them back into your mix.

Great app with Room for Improvements. Two suggestions: 1. It would be nice to be able to transfer artists and all your songs instead of just playlists. 2. Songs don't always sync up to the same song info.

Disappointed. I purchased way back and had to switch due to terrible song recognition. Now that jMusic app is no longer available I decided to try this again it’s the same story. 180 track playlist and it can’t find 140 songs? Awful.

Difficulties with YouTube music. Although it is very cheap for 1$ per month, you get what you pay for. I was transferring a large playlist of 209 songs from Spotify to YouTube music, but instead of finding the actual track, it only searches for music videos. Because of this it was only able to transfer 5/209 songs, which is very disappointing when considering that other transfer apps have had much better success. If the developer could fix this issue then it would be more usable than it is now.

Does not work for large playlists. It does not work for large playlists, the transfer will be stuck at 99% for hours ( for me it was 40 hours before I decided to remove the app) and then go back at 50%. Not a great app for large playlists.

Did almost nothing. Went through the motions, it sat there whirling for a loooonnnnngggg time. In the end, nothing transferred but a blank playlist. Hoping for a refund!

Not to bad. It took me a little bit to figure out what I wanted but over all it worked well. It took me a while to finally find a program that would do exactly this!

Way better than Stamp or Songshift. Houdini is much faster and almost always transfers ALL the playlist songs unlike Stamp or Songshift. And it transfers the playlist songs in the right order where the other two apps mess that up a little bit. I know this because I purchased all 3 services and tried them out side by side using same playlists. If Accuracy and speed are important to you go with Houdini. Super impressed.!!

In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Really useful app. It saved me tons of time looking for my songs and transferring them to apple Music

awful. terrible. kept freezing and would not fully complete transfers. took FOREVER to even start to process. just terrible and NOT worth my $2. wish I could get that back. would not recommend

Does not work for new update. The app is unable to access my apply music library. The FAQ is out of date for the newest ios as the solution posted isn’t even possible with the newest update. Hopefully they fix this soon..

So worth the 3 bucks. Just buy it. It transfers even huge playlists seamlessly and quite quickly

Worked great!. No problems. Didn't take as long as I thought it would.

Bought App Years Ago, Now Is Monthly Service. I use this once in a long while and was sad to see that it’s now a pay per month service after having bought the app in 2017. You should at least “grandfather in” your prior customer base.

Y’all sold out bruh. This app was the perfect FREE music transferring app but y’all just HAD to sell out and make it a subscription service smh

Very useful. Fills in the gap nicely. Doesn't find and match everything but it does a great job. Very satisfied!

Worked Perfectly!!. Would highly recommend...beautiful UI and works very well!

Won't log into Apple Music. Useless. Could be Apple is down; their refund site just gives some "something went wrong" junk and is literally no help. Useless and cost me a buck to waste my time.

Disappointing in that it couldn’t find all the songs in my pkaylists. Was excited to use the app and make the move to Apple Music, however it couldn’t find all the songs, which when I checked manually, are in fact in the Apple Music library... Doesn’t do what it is supposed to do.

Don’t usually buy apps. First app I’ve ever bought? Maybe? Smooth, clean, 10/10 would recommend

Quick. Transferred over 800 songs in 5 minutes.

WORTH IT!!. This app is so worth the three dollar to seamlessly transfer playlists!

Great. Does exactly what it says. Hidden bonus was it transferred some great preset playlists I had saved also.

Not working. Tried contacting support. Has worked for me in the past. But now there is an error. Some kind of glitch. Also saying transfer date is the year 1969. Frustrating.

Amazing. Just transferred 1400 songs and only 23 were not found. Awesome app!!

Simple!. Super simple and matched more songs compared to other apps. Interface is very clean as well.

Can't Restore Purchase. Title. I bought this app forever ago and isn't letting me restore my previous subscription. My only option is to subscribe to something I was under the impression that I had already paid for.

Good. But it needs to update playlists when they are shifted so you can keep up with your playlists. Then I would give it 5.

Did not work. This app did not transfer any of my music. Would say authorizing for several minutes. Then when it did connect it stayed on 0% of music transferred for hours. Nothing was ever transferred. Waste of $3. Would like to see about getting a refund

Easy. Houdini made transferring my Apple Playlists a breeze. Worth the cheap price.

It worked perfectly!. That’s all I need to say. Almost spent $10 on Stamp, but luckily I found this instead!

Great app. It's does what it says it's going to do with no problems

Needs update for 12.3 support. Apple Music won’t authorize on 12.3 iOS update. Just hangs with spinning circle when authorizing. Used to work flawless

Completely did not work. Anytime i would try to transfer over to apple it just gave me an error, sent this in and got no response, disappointed and just like other people are saying use songshift it’s completely free and actually works

Eh. It works but it doesn’t let you scroll so I had to delete a playlist after a transfer to reach the others

True accuracy. I tried SongShift before, this app has a 99% accuracy rating so far

Subscription. Although I understand the need fore more monetization to keep the app running, I don’t think it is fair that I had originally paid for this app, and no longer am able to use it unless I pay more. Which is not what I originally agreed to.

Fantastic!. Very impressed! If you have a lot of songs, it’s totally worth it.

Works Perfectly. Not going to find a better or cheaper app for transferring playlist

Did not work on iPhone 12 Pro. I purchased for 1 month to try. Does not work. I got errors when trying to connect with music services. I sent the issue and screenshot of errors, but got no response from developer. Use SongShift instead. It worked perfectly, and much better UI!

Doesn’t Work. Makes pay a dollar before even trying and all my playlists showed they had 0 songs

Dev doesn’t honor purchase. Like many others I purchased the app when it was a one time payment. After the app was changed to a subscription model I’ve been blocked from the app unless I pay more. Bad business, honor the purchase of those who helped establish your app!

Doesn’t include Pandora. If you were hoping to transfer to or from Pandora don’t bother. I cancelled immediately after realizing the small list of services this app bridges.

Easy to use. Awesome app definitely would recommend 😎

Money back please.. good app if you want to do playlists only , i needed one that could do Songs from my Library. bought incorrectly. please contact me if there is a way to refund my money.

Amazing I Have Something You Could Add. This App Is Amazing But You Should Add The Ability To Add The The Playlist To A Already Created Playlist!

Didn’t work. I was very excited to use this to transfer my music but it didn’t work. I emailed their tech support asking for help but no response. I don’t know how to use the app and when i click any buttons nothing happens. Very disappointing.

Simple and easy process.. Does it's job as advertised. An excellent purchase.

Helpful!. Totally worth it, sometimes it can’t find a song that is definitely on there but still a great service

Great app. I absolutely recommend this app to everyone.

it actually works. It’s easy to use and definitely worth the money (:

waste of money, take this down. I can’t even scroll down to access all of my playlists in the transfer menu. Paid a dollar, regretted it instantly. How this has a 4.5 rating is beyond me, thanks scammers!

Worth $2.99. Amazing! Out of 2700 songs only 45 could not be transferred. Would love to see sync feature.

Very good.. Thanks you guys. Amazing price $2.99 was worth the money. Highly recommend!

Paid for it once before, not they are charging a subscription. Love getting double charged for something I paid for once before. Don't need any if the new sub features. Buggy anyway and kept duplicating play lists.

Worth It. Well worth the $3.99 I use it almost every day.

Not $12/year!. Listen. I’m all for making sure Devs get paid but $12/ year?????? No way. I think the original dev sold this to someone else and it makes me sad.

4 stars. I give it 5 stars but it said you need iTunes Apple Music Subscription but tbh it’s totally worth it if you have the 3 month free subscription
