Ratings and reviews

The first really intelligent audio application available. It allows you navigate from playlists to albums to tracks completely effortless, in an easy and intuitive way. The menu is simple with full coverage of everything that needs to be configured. The colors are from minimalistic to extravagant - your choice. If you are looking for an application that was made from ground up with the focus on your music, than this is it. You will thank me later, go for it!!!

Great potential, I think the app needs some improvements regarding the equalizer, lock screen functionality, playlists, lyrics and the theme (pretty basic). I will not go into details but I highly recommend checking other apps out such as Musicolet, GOM Audio, ALsong and the built in Music app from LG. Those apps could help on identifying great improvement opportunities for LAPlayer light, which is just ok to me so far.

great and fantastic player!! small and light, easy to use, many themes to choose. great sound and powerful equalizer....just nice for me. Thank you to the developers for creating such a wonderful player...hope there will ve more updates to improve the app. Two thumbs up...👍👍
