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 compare, surprisingly simple to use. So many advanced features and it just WORKS! JRiver for PC, PA for Android. Don't ever go away again, it was like going through a divorce.

I want to love this app but I just can't. I use this app mainly on my Hiby r4 and it is almost unusable. It constantly has issues when going from 3.5mm to 4.4 balanced. It also is the only player that when I use the physical buttons to skip tracks it plays about 3 second of the song and stops for about a second then continues. It does it every single time. Other then that I love every thing about the app. I want it to be my favorite so bad. Until then Media monkey it is.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. The track-skip pause and balanced output issues on Hiby R4 are known with certain firmware. Please try disabling DVC and restoring Output defaults. We’re working on better Hi-Res and hardware button support for DAPs.

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 from the device until after the timed delay set by the "Ignore" setting... the app still plays music as soon as it connects.

Try increasing Ignore Bluetooth Commands in Settings > Headset/Bluetooth. Some vehicles send play commands even when the app is closed, and this helps block them.

What’s new

• customizable buttons row on the player screen
• Player Buttons Background option for the built in skins
• Resume On Focus option
• repeat mode improvements
• AutoEq presets/devices database update
• reordered play/repeat modes
• workaround for the headset/headunit/BT presses intercepted by Gemini
• Auto search fix
• Animate Long Labels Everywhere option
• Transparent Status Bar option
• added hints to shuffle/repeat popups
• improved album art handling for streams with the very long address
