I was having problems connecting to Bluetooth in my car and I had tried the settings in the app, on my phone and on my car with no luck. Then I read the reviews where others were having the same problem with the app. I really liked this app but have moved on to pulsar […]

Initially I loved Blackplayer Ex, it was like the free one but superior, so I bought it. Not battery draining like the others, worked flawlessly. I used it for years. Fast forward to 2021 and I get a new phone, Samsung Galaxy A71 and it doesn’t recognize that there is MP3s on the phone… Yet […]

Not bad. I enjoyed the base app enough to support the dev. My biggest is that the player doesn’t recognize 100% of my music, despite keeping it all in the same folder. No matter how many times I scan, some songs just never show up. Aside from that, the automatic download for album covers doesn’t […]

Used since v1.0 years ago, had always been my favorite music player. Sadly it seems now the developer(s) have abandoned this altogether… no updates since 2021, WMA and many other file types are no longer playable, playlists are a DISASTER and do not save any of your selections after rebooting the app. Thanks for a […]

The single best music playing app I have found and trust me when I tell you have have gone through alot. The free version was amazing and the paid ices the cake. Worth the couple bucks hands down. This is the first app i have ever paid for and the first i thought was worth […]

I’ve used this app for a really really long time, it’s still great at what it does and unmatched, but I wanted to leave a NEW review just to tell people that development isn’t halted, the dev said on Reddit he’d been working on an update…. which is taking a while. I took off a […]

Blackplayer has always been my player of choice. Until a few months ago. Suddenly, only certain songs will start to play, but then be cut off at some point before the halfway point. And other songs, it let’sn play to the end. I don’t understand it. I’ve done all the troubleshooting, Ive checked & know […]

Not sure what happened, but suddenly all of my music can’t be played, and I can’t access anything on the SD card regardless of how I grant access. So this music player can now no longer play any music I have. Was the best music player I ever used, but now can’t do the function […]

This used to be the best music player in the store. It’s the only app I ever paid for. That all ended about a month ago. I have never seen a software update so thoroughly bork a piece of software as the latest update did to this. Took me days to figure out how to […]

The app worked great for years and years. Been using it since high school over three different phones and it’s always worked. The October 29th update did something and made the app unable to access my stored music files. Even switching to the new API, restting my library, rescanning, giving the correct permissions and everything […]

Best app for music. Well it was. Since the last update I’ve been plagued with issues. Firstly, tracks wouldn’t load, had to reinstall to fix that. Now I can’t manually add album covers, I have various albums with duplicate tracks and I can’t seem to select external storage, only internal. I’ve mailed support all this […]

Another update and even bigger issues. Now the app can’t play any of my music files. They all say “error loading track”. I’m looking for a replacement app that works without issues. Can I give it zero stars? It was great until the newest update. Now all of the albums are missing the tracks. I […]

Edit: I had to uninstall and reinstall the app after the last update, so now it works great. It was a 30 second inconvenience, but new installs should work great. Original: I have loved this app and used it for years. After the last update it no longer works, like everyone is saying. It can’t […]

The paid version is worth the price. Before buying it I tried MANY different music player apps including the free version for this one. However none of them offered the amount of customization options that come with the paid version. It’s not to say it’s perfect(make sure all albums have a unique name if you […]

For someone who could not use after the October 29th update, try to open the “New Storage API” option in Advanced Settings, after refreshing the library, it will fix the storage problem, sort of. You need to add your “Music folder” in “Grant Write Access” option, for those who have lots of music folders, painful. […]

This app *was* excellent for half a decade, and now it’s unusable. Songs arbitrarily won’t play, album art can’t be changed for a reason not provided (so I can’t even look up a solution), there’s no direct line for feedback to be sent to the developers… it’s a shame that an app this sleek and […]

I’ve used this app for years now and I recently got an S25 Ultra. It’s regularly resetting my EQ in app and the sound doesn’t work 70% of the time. The song will play but no sound. And the Write Access to edit song titles will update in the app but won’t change the file […]

I really want to like this app. Unfortunately every time there is an android software update this app is unable to access my music library. I receive a message stating “error loading track!”. I spend countless hours organizing music via external burners and external hard drives and I just want an app that can access […]

For years it was my favorite and innovative music player app, however in recent times it’s become a broken mess. Lyrics cannot be written into files, cover art downloads don’t work, and it doesn’t detect a custom typeface for changing fonts. A handful of issues that needs to be fixed in an update. It’s been […]

Used to be a five star review. Would be again if the app worked. Last few updates broke some features. I understand that google pushed the dev to update or be delisted. I understand changes to the way android works forced their hand. I kept using the app for a while, hoping for a fix […]
