Reviews for Pulsar Music Player Pro

Very versatile and comprehensive. It finds the artwork when available, if not, it offers the option to update the artwork thru the phone's image gallery. The user can edit the artist, album and song data as needed. The variety of themes is broad and customizable. I found the equalizer a nice addition for tailoring the sound to my liking. The lack of visualizers, there is only one, is disheartening, but is easy to overlook. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS APP FOR ANY AND ALL MUSIC LOVERS!!!

Very good app for listening to music. This app plays music on your phone it doesn't stream music like Pandora. It displays the artwork of the albums and songs, shuffles songs and allows you to create playlists. It has a desktop widget and also allows you to use the app on the lock screen and the drop-down menu. Some phones don't come with a stock music player this one fills that need and more. No ads if you buy it and you get the equalizer. Love it.

This is my favorite music player. Supports landscape and portrait mode. I can edit track tags. I can sort songs any way I want. I can exclude folders. It can show lyrics over the album art. If the lyrics have time stamps, it plays like karaoke. The only downfall is the album art. The player will show the art of the next or previous song quite often. If I flip to landscape and back, it corrects itself. Not a biggie, but annoying. 5 stars if that gets fixed.

I have only had the app for about two weekes and so far, I like it. The one flaw that irks me is that I have a rather extensive digital library, and when the app screened my music files, I have noticed that I am missing an album or two...or even more and it not contained within one band. I have add as well though, there is music that I had forgotten about that now is visible. As far as using the app, it is pretty straight forward, which I enjoy more now a days.

I love the interface and I love the equalizer options. I can easily browse my extensive library by artist, album, or genre. The app displays pictures for everything. Only in the past year or so has the app begun splitting the same artist and the same album into two different entries, but this is fixable. I simply edit the first entry with the in-app tag editor and re-enter the album-artist to get everything nice and uniform. I shouldn't have to do this, but it's only a minor annoyance. Hopefully it'll be fixed someday!

Not a bad app but playlists are a notable weakness. I use M3U files that have relative paths. All of my music is in one folder organized by genre, then artist, then album. This is the only app I've tried that can't properly parse them. I've used apps that can import my M3U files, which would be a workaround if that feature existed. On a positive note, I got quick responses from the dev via email.

There's good and bad. It's good because I can separate out my audiobooks. There's a tag editor function that's handy and very good if you don't already have an app that will do that. The bad part about the tag editor- I tried to add a picture from archive to all the tracks on an album and it ended up ERASING about half of each song. Thank God I had a backup. But I had to erase the album and recopy from the backup, which can be a risky process.

FINALLY! A music app that truly understands album based music and doesn't just present your thousands of songs in one looong song list! YOU now have the option to sort your music, be it genre, artist folder, etc mode, by album or song. So many USEFUL sorting and viewing options. One weakness may be album art, which I don't care.much about. The download art is usually wrong and seems based on only.on or two words of the song. It still NEEDS, car mode with larger controls and print. Scan

Let me start by saying the FREE version was great. It immediately linked to my Note 8 to my 2018 Camry and played great. SO I opted to buy the + version to have access to the EQ and a few other options. Well within a week of buying the program the program connects like normal, then it stops. SO I have to unlock the phone and activate Pulsar+ to run. Also the sound quality has became "fuzzy" regardless of the EQ settings and the volume does not play as loud and clear as the free version did. Correct me if I wrong...but should not the pay version of an app be better than the free version?

Was using Rocket Player, but the ads were getting out of control. Frequently crashed too. I kept it because I liked the interface. I finally found this app, which has a very similar interface and NO ADS. The free version of Pulsar was totally fine (and also AD FREE), I just wanted a bit more theme flexibility, so I paid the nominal 1-time fee. Only complaints: the artwork downloaded for music is way off, almost comical sometimes. And would love to see video support. Other than that, great app.

Really like this player. Samsung's built in player is garbage. Easy to create, edit, and add to playlists with Pulsar. Upgraded to the paid version because I liked it so much. It does occasionally just stop playing for no apparent reason. It doesn't happen often & I don't see a pattern. Edit 8-28-18. I'd really like to see an option for making the widget transparent or not show album artwork. EDIT 9.17.18: The issue with the player just randomly stopping play is happening more frequently. Hoping next update will fix.

It's simple, clean and works great. It took me ages to find the right player that had good organization options and a clean aesthetic. It really different from most other players because it had all of the tabs right at the start, instead of hiding them behind swipe open drawers. I don't use equalizers or other features so I can't comment on those, but pulsar is overall a very good music player. EDIT: As of 8/24/21 Bluetooth car autoplay has stopped working. I would like assistance from support.

I downloaded around 6 highly rated native (offline) music players all together, set up all their widgets on the same launcher page, set them all to play a song that imo, brings out the best and the worst in music players. I then spent about 10-20 minutes playing bits of that song back and forth from the different players and eliminating them one by one until the last one standing was the winner of the most high quality audiophile sound out of the group. This is that player. Absolutely love it!

This is one of the best, most feature rich Android music players. I love the fact this has built in controls for speeding up and slowing down music, and even changing the pitch. It's snappy, the shuffle actually is a true shuffle (I'm looking at you, youtube music 😑) and it was so good that I went and got the paid version for the silly custom stuff.

I want to like this app better than I do because it generally works well and has a polished interface. One major flaw I can't get over is that it handles metadata poorly. Songs from the same album end up being displayed as if from separate albums due to minor differences in meta data that originate with the media. It also seems to handle sort order very inconsistently, in that setting sort order to track # in one album will result in playing songs in the correct order, while on another album it will play track 1, 10, 2, etc. I paid for Pro rather than using the free version because I wanted the equalizer. Now I wish I hadn't, because having paid for it I feel obliged to keep using it. Edit: Since writing this I've switched to Phonograph. Its interface looks as good if not better, hasn't got the metadata problems I complained of in Pulsar, and the free version includes an equalizer.

Use to be perfect until a few updates ago. Now when playing over Bluetooth, be it my car stereo or any of my 3 pairs of earbuds, the player will go silent after playing the first song. I have to ship to the next track or fast forward the "silent" track to get sound to play again. Pain in the butt while driving, and renders this useless for when I want to fall asleep to music. Hopefully this gets fixed I'm an update. I will update my review the minute it's fixed.

Recently, I purchased Pulsar Pro, because Poweramp won't cast to my speaker and bluetooth skips. However, while Pulsar will cast to my speaker and play bluetooth uninterrupted, I am having a difficult time enabling the lyrics function. In addition, all my album/cover artwork will not automatically download. When I try to download them manually, I get error messages. Occasionally, if I keep trying, artwork will download. When I attempt to delete, for example, playlists, the app won't delete them.

I've used multiple local media players, each one had their pros and cons, but I ended up with Pulsar because the others' cons outweighed the pros. Pulsar+ gives the best with a clean and simple UI with good navigation, easy editing, and good control. Appreciate the theme color edits, good equalizer, and a straightforward, comfortable media player app. Definitely worth the small purchase.

main reason I got this was because it does seamless repeat PERFECTLY. I like to loop soundtracks and video game music but instead of doing like an hour long song, I loop it once and rely on the software for seamless repeat so it can actually be played forever with no gap or restart, which again this does PERFECTLY (much rarer than you would think). other than my extraordinarily niche usecase, I have no issues or problems or complaints whatsoever with it for "normal" use. 100% recommend.

Super reliable for many many years, but lately, it seems to struggle with album art. Iy used to find and attach album art to tags, but now, it just gives an error and displays a default, generic cd image. I really enjoyed seeing the album art, but my only options n is to download the art from Google and manually add it. No way I have time for that. Please fix!
