Ratings and reviews

I have been using this app for several years, over 20 to be exact. Never had a problem until now. Plays great for 3 to 4 songs then the next songs has no sound. I have stop whatever I am doing, pause the song and then press play to get the sound to return. I have a Samsung A32 that has no other problems other than what I have just explained. Please address this issue and fix it so I can give back my 5 star rating. Thank you, Allen

I like being able to have the album art automatically added. Still would like it if the shuffle played a more random selection than it seems to play but that's a small issue overall. edit: as of 2025, album art is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to obtain, despite having the necessary metadata attached to the music file.

With 1000+ albums, not being able to increase column count from 2 is a huge time waster when scrolling. Don't see that ability enabled in the paid app either. Also, no ability to select album viewing by artist, album name, etc. Therefore based on lack of features, no reason to upgrade. Lastly, the Pulsar app scanned my 5000+ song music library from my SD card in under 2 minutes, vs MediaMonkey taking over 30 minutes. The above are huge disappointments. As the PC app is excellent.
