Ratings and reviews

TimberX gets 4 stars off appearance alone, because it looks far better than ANY other android music player I've used, but it currently has some MAJOR issues. Often, the first second of a song is just skipped. There is not ONE THING about the shuffle feature that works correctly. Music doesn't pause when watching videos. Album art isn't shown properly, it's being cropped horizontally. Sometimes, the notification bar stays on screen even if no music is playing and the app has been closed.

It's a gorgeous app, but there's a couple underlying issues. My main one is the player just randomly stops playing and closes. Thats incredibly frustrating when I'm driving and trying to listen to my playlists, the other issue is also regarding playlists. Twice I've had them completely disappear. It hasn't been updated in a few months which normally isn't a problem but an app that's new and still has some bugs should be updated more. Honestly it seems like a cash grab.

I am still looking for that music app that can replace the Samsung Music app that now bugs me with ads every few days. I often compare music apps to it because Samsung's is actually great besides the dumb ads. Things about this app that bug me: * It displays album art incorrectly and cuts the image off. This might be because I have a "tall screen". The app should shrink to fit in the center. * When starting a playlist, there's no "shuffle all" option.
