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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This app with the eq sounds great. All kinds of presets. For different kinds of music. Or how you like it to sound. Sure you set how you want. (I know theirs a separate eq app. Not sure if the version I have just has more because it was older than updated. Or they kept […]

the king of music players on Android. period. purchased the full version all the way back in 2012 and have used it on every Android i’ve owned since. i wish every app was designed as intelligently as Poweramp, other developers should be taking notes. the best UI, the best UX, the best features, the highest […]

This app takes control of your device, even when it is “off”. For example, using the controls of bluetooth ear buds to “play” will almost always start up whatever music was playing on this app. even if you turned it “off” and arr using another app that plays audio, like Audible or another music player. […]

This is the best music player I’ve used yet. It has lots of categories to organize all my stuff and a nice interface with a helpful built-in equalizer. The only possible downside I see is that there’s no way to import lyrics for the music, whereas I’ve used other apps with that feature. Otherwise it’s […]

tentative 5 stars. I’ve been having a very difficult time finding a music app that easily recognizes a USB drive. doesn’t seem like it should be that big a challenge, but… importantly, the library persists with the USB drive removed so it doesn’t need to rescan when it’s plugged back in, unlike musicolet. UI is […]

When either swapping bluetooth devices or coming back in range of the source device (smartphone), PowerAmp “barges in”, (without playing over or simultaneously playing) assuming that it should resume play even if at that time I was listening to another program or app, such as Spotify or TouTube. Sometimes, this is accidentally welcome (my playlist […]

After owning the app for a few years, it has been amazing but this new issue has developed recently and I am unsure how to fix it despite looking through past responses to this issue. Recently when I am adding music to the folders that the app scans and uses as the music library, it […]

Should be the default music app; I can’t believe Samsung or Google hasn’t bought it! I’ve been using Poweramp for 11 years, except for the short period of time it wasn’t updated and stopped working on new devices. I’ve found nothing better and can’t imagine how it could be any better. Beautiful interface, options beyond […]

Been using Poweramp for 7 years. Never had a major problem with it. I will say there is one annoyance with Poweramp that never happened before. Everytime I connect my phone to my car bluetooth. The musis will just auto play. I went into the setting & turn off auto play from blurtooth device & […]

Simple, easy-to-use. Downside: ALWAYS resumes play when it connects to a vehicle even if the app is closed at the time.. In the settings, there’s supposed to be a way to prevent this, but it doesn’t work. Also tried changing the “Ignore Bluetooth” settings as recommended by the developer. Now, I can’t stop the music […]
