Ratings and reviews

Hire someone to sort your UI. Took 10 minutes just to figure out how to add songs to the "Now Playing" list. That is until I found you can't. You have to add them to the "que" Then go to que and hit play there. I've never seen a more unintuitive UI. It's great to have tons of features, but when they are spread out in such a convoluted way, it REALLY distracts from your enjoyment. No one wants to wrestle and become frustrated with their player before trying to relax and listen to music.

The only problem is the UX, It's pretty cluttered and navigating is awful. Like if I'm in an album and I want to go to an artist, I have to tap back a couple of times, get back to the library, select Artists and then I can look for the artist, which takes way too long for a simple navigation like this, unlike most other apps in which most things are a swipe and a tap away.

Wow! Most of my favorite podcasts have bad production. Compression is a necessity. A long time ago I gave up looking for a portable solution. Until now I have never seen an audio player with this much control of the audio. There's high pass, low pass, two EQs with Q level control, and a compressor. You can even change the sequence of these effects. Amazing!

What’s new

! Fix:
- adding new FRC preset could create duplicates
- FTP source not always working correctly in 2.29.0-1
- large album art images stopped loading in 2.29.0-1
