Been using this app since it came out a long time ago and it's still my #1 choice for a music player on my phone. Only problem I have though is I changed the album art of a song on accident in the app and now I can't get my original thumbnail to show up without all the other songs having the same thumbnail as well. It only happens when you have a song that is in an album if there is no album than it doesn't do it. Maybe you guys can add a fix for this in a new update please. Thanks!

The EQ, look and feel of this app is top notch. But the recent update has the app not recognizing many of my tracks and those that are recognized are poorly sorted. Album breaks where they don't belong, missing tracks, sorting/naming tracks based on track # instead of song titles, just to name a few of the issues the recent update has brought with it. I've tried every which way to make it work but i've gotten nothing but headaches out of this app. Time to move on and find something new.

After trying multiple free & trial apps, it's hands down the best one for local collection: - Clean UI, - Complete set of options & settings, - Supports most formats I need, - Gesture navigation is awesome & well thought. The last point is why I decided to stay on it: it allows you to switch albums/playlists real quick & one handed. The price is also very reasonable as you only have to pay once, and don't need to repay if you switch device. For how much I use it, it's definitely worth it đź‘Ť

Got this app a long time ago. It was ok, but it didn't do much for sound quality over other apps. Opened the app up recently and noticed the update which is a tremendous improvement. More importantly, the Update in sound quality is huge. The openness and stereo separation streaming to bluetooth in my car is night and day better than what it was. A word of caution- because of all the audio tweaks, you won't get the best audio or could make it worse if you don't know what you're doing.

Sound quality is good, and it is a decent music player. But the user interface is very busy and confusing. Also, it splits up all my mix albums (Grammy nominees of 2011, for example) into separate songs because they are by different artists, so I have to put them together into a single playlist manually to play them all as one album. I can't figure out why music players can't get basic functionality correct.

This is the best music app I've experienced compared other music apps! I thought Jetaudio was superior, but I was terribly wrong! The Poweramp is not only cost effective, but its features are superior and functional. I can install music on my SD Card and continue to access my Playlists. Also, I have no problems downloading the correct Album Artwork. The sound is incredible! I have a Galaxy S20 Ultra and Note 10 Plus. My earlier review was based on a limited Galaxy S5 and lack of knowledge.

Best app I've ever purchased! Been using since 2011 and will never have a device without it! Edit: it's now 2021 and I have run into my first problem. I switched phones and the music that was on my SD card on the old phone was converted to a folder on the new phone since it doesn't have SD support. Poweramp can't locate any song now. Even if I downloaded it straight to my phone. Edit: I'm an idiot.

The update has made some things better, but there are still problems. One major one is that the playlists start from song one when you switch... the old version at least tried to maintain your position. Another is that albums added to a playlist that's being shuffled end up not shuffled; after hearing the fifth song from an album I just added, I realized it wasn't a coincidence. The resume with headphones feature doesn't always work either. It actually hardly ever works.

Very Powerful and Overly Complicated. I have used Poweramp for years, and while I enjoy its main features of playing my music and how I like it played, it's very hard to learn to use it well. Tonight, I tried to export a playlist, and it just failed miserably. First, it wanted to use a restricted Android data folder, then once I pointed it to a documents folder, it claimed success, but the folder was empty. I tried again checking the box for a song list, and it failed again!

After a week of using the free version, this is the best sounding, and easiest to use Android player I've had the pleasure of using. Finding album art is painless, and quick. Lock screen options are as simple/fleshed out as you choose. All around, simply a great player. **Note** Reboot your phone if you are having remote/widget control issues after the latest update.
