Like plenty of others have mentioned this is the best music player on Android, I've been using the app since 2012 and it's rarely disappointed me, I've ran through 15-20 devices at this point since I first downloaded the app and most of the time it was a great experience, some of the cheaper phones had launch issues and would crash but I'm currently using this on a pixel 8a and it's all good. Everything from the visuals to eq/tone adjustments are perfect for the modern day music listener

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'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!
