I've been using this app for over 6 or 7 years, I believe, and it truly is fantastic! I don't know the limitations it has on equalizer settings, but for everything I connect my phone to, I have a setup for these. My phone has my entire music library of over 9k songs, and I use it every day while I travel. There are also the fractals that can be made active. Fantastic!
Was worthwhile for quite some time, but on getting a new phone, it now changes to "all random" mode whenever it connects to a device (seems like every device, every time). For example, I'm listening to a new album I want to hear the whole of, but on moving to my car, it'll finish the current song then jump to somewhere random in my collection and I have to pop my phone open, change the settings back, and find the album again. Gets very, very, very tedious. Deleted.
While I respect the developer's decision to overhaul the entire application, I wish they'd left an option in there for "Classic UI", this new look just has too much going on and I don't like the song info being superimposed over the album art at all. It would also be nice if this app got Android Auto support so I could stop using my old iPod to play music in the car. Being an audiophile, PowerAmp's music engine is bar none the best sounding...just wish the app was a little cleaner and more versatile.
Licensing of the full version lets it down, maybe there's a setting to stop it, but I've not found it yet. The app contacts the Play servers to check you're licensed, which is great until you're 30000 feet in the sky halfway across the Atlantic at which point you'd better hope you've got an alternative application available, because that's the end of listening to Poweramp. This happens to me all the time, I've search for better apps and I still like Poweramp, but more often than not, I end up unable to use on a trip.
Best music app out there. I've used it for over 10 years. The only reason I won't give 5 stars is because they updated the app recently where you can't add a particular song to a playlist more than once. For example, sometimes I want my favorite songs to play more than once as a shuffled playlist runs its course. So frustrating.
For the longest time I was really happy with Poweramp. I've had it for years. Lately it doesn't recognize new songs that are added to it or save my playlists. Kind of a deal breaker for me. Update: I already did what they suggested by updating the music file and doing a full rescan. That did not fix it. it happens every time it updates that I have to uninstall it and reinstall it. It has become a real pain. Might be time to go to something else.
after the recent update Music is not resuming after call ends. please fix it I have checked all the settings. But no use build 991 And I updated the app, and Now AUDIO FOCUS SETTINGS ARE NOT EVEN WORKING.I checked with other audio players they work fine but poweramp is not working, it stops the play when notification arrive or other game or plyer is in use. and doesn't resume playing after call is ended. PLEASE FIX THIS I AM USING LATEST BUILD
I don't know why I didn't discover this sooner. I mean I've heard about power amp for many years now but I've had so many different audio players and I I'm a HiFi enthusiast. this player is great. the thing keeping me from making it 5 stars is that I don't like that the track information is obscuring the album art. it would be nice if the track, title and song information was right above the play are controls instead of covering the album art. besides that, very nice. keep up the good work.
This app has been my go-to for music for over a decade, but over the past year, it's become increasingly unreliable. One moment I'm playing music without any issues, and the next, my entire library disappears. I’ve had to rescan my collection multiple times—at least four times just in the past month. It’s incredibly frustrating.
This is a great, full-featured music app, and I wish I could give it a higher rating, but there is a long standing bug that causes your entire music catalog to disappear seemingly at random. This has happened to me at least 10 times over the last several years of using the paid version. It can be fixed with a full rescan, but that is a very long process for someone with a large mp3 collection, and it wipes out the "added" dates making it impossible to see what was added recently. A shame.
