Sound great, features not so... No problem with the music quality side of things but the automatic album art download is a shambles. Pulls random pics from the web for album covers (including porn images) and there seems to be no way to fix. Tried the manual search by individual album and it doesn't even show album art - just random images
buggy app. deletion process has huge bugs, says "done" by briefly blocking controls, while still deleting, i have to wait til deletion is finished or if i navigate back or delete next unwanted one player breaks by switching playlist or messing up the deletion. cant handle the deletion on time. and developer has no clue and giving unrelated excuses. app also changes playlist out of the blue during playback of another playlist.. and wastes a lot of time to navigate and restart what was played.
Absolute horror experience. No way to easy select local stored music by path. Nightmare! And in Android Auto screen, forget about selecting anything. It just plays what it wants forever.
Downloaded and paid for app on google play. Still won't play.
Don't know what happened to this app when it comes to album covers. 90% of the time it's the wrong cover or really small pic, smh!
it's a waste of time installing it every now and then
the app is free. so i was looking for a good music app. i downloaded it (for the first time ever). loaded it up and it says my free trial is used up. i never even downloaded the app before, plus it doesn't mention anything about NEEDING to pay for the app on this page. and so the only way i can use this FREE app is if i pay for it. horrible deception with this company. avoid this app.
Locking me out of playing music that I have on downloaded on my phone unless I pay for a subscription.
this is garbage .It took at least 3hours to import the 102gb of AAC music in my library. I then tried to import the 258gb of mp3. files. That took around 6 hours, but this senseless thing deleted the AAC. I tried to reimport the AAC but 13 hours later not a single album has been imported. I've deleted it and good riddance to this piece of garbage. So many players can import my entire library in less than 1 hour means there is no need to use rubbish like this.
Great app until once again you find that "top rated" list is empty
why many of my mp3 file cannot play, and it's say corrupt..
i have buyed full version.. totally waste 🤦🏻♂️
sir I am already purchased the key in 5years back but this time no unlocker key working playstore restore failed to restore purchase please fix it
I am using realme bud 7. When I headphones remove from one ear then next song start playing rather then pause. Only happened with this player.
doesn't find the music on my phone 😐 as in it doesn't let me pick my audio file to access the music?
bekar app
Wel weird behavior I am used to by now. But I go to play folder in app tell it to random play all the songs it starts fine but after I shut off the headset or speaker and resume it later it ONLY plays the songs it played before over and over and over again after every reconnect the Playlist gets shorter. I ended up with only 9 songs it played over and over out of 1260 songs in that folder. Lucky there enough open source mp3 players that work for me. So tip do not waste money if u want all songs.
It's very likely to burst and harm my ears.
It's ridiculous that if I have bought it, they force me to have internet activated to be able to use it. Pathetic.
good sound but, for me, playing anything beyond one artist/album is erratic or not possible. genre listings seem to pick albums at random and won't play anything beyond them, shuffle play is random or just doesn't work, to give only two examples. a shame as some people seem to like it but for me (full version) it's frustrating to the point of giving up on it.
बकवास
longtime poweramp user. the repeat does not work on any type file and settings are accordingly. this is really annoying. update: nothing is fixing it, repeat does not work at all for any type of formats.
Good app to play music but not free
Been a paid user for years, but I can't make poweramp work for me. The audio config options are great, but can't make up for a UI/UX that is nothing short of deranged. Ex: I search for "Imagine" by Lennon, find it, then tap to play. What plays next though? Poweramp gives only 2 options: "filtered", which is all the other songs in my library with the word "imagine" in them, or "all", which is every one of the 80,000+ songs on my phone, in alphabetical order. Both of these are worthless.
not compatible with Redmi k90 pro max...... causes excessive heat
they had no music
