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.

Great app. I've had it for years. Sometines finding the right folder with all my music can be difficult(could be operator)(me) I don't use Spotify when I have over 1000 songs on my phone. I wish Shazam didn't get bought by Apple. It was so easy to be legit and buy a song for a $1 or so. I wish Power Amp a widget/install on my Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. New devices come out almost every year. Please catch up with the times.

Thanks for your long-time support! A Wear OS / Galaxy Watch version is indeed planned, along with easier folder navigation improvements. Development for new devices is ongoing to keep Poweramp current with modern Android and wearables.

This app sucks when trying to add new music. Most times it won't add the new song even after rescanning. I have had to delete all of my music and then reload it and then rescan to get power amp to recognize all of the songs. I once had to go as far as to delete and reload power amp itself. I've been using this app for years. It used to not be this way.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. Please check in Settings - Library - Music Folders that your storage paths are selected. Then tap “Full Rescan”. If you store files in /Download or /Android/data, Poweramp from powerampapp.com is recommended since Play version can’t access those folders.
