Ratings and reviews

Perfect. Could changes be made to make it have more finicky options? Sure, but why fix what ain't broken? Allows me to play the various .mp3 files I've collected over the years and transferred to each new phone. Has a timer, so I can have it play a library for ...40 minutes (or 2 hours; you choose the duration), and continues to play, even when I turn the screen 'off.' No ads. <<< How many apps are like that from the get-go? Easy to navigate, organize, use. Perfect.

So far, the best music app for both my phone that I've found! Unlike so many others I've tried, it found all my music. Also, playlists can be made with my songs from both internal memory as well as from my installed micro sd card. There is a steep learning curve, especially when creating playlists, but they are easy to manage once complete, and this app never has lost either my songs or my playlists. Very good app!

On my Pixel 6 pro I used to be able to watch YouTube videos from this app and it was awesome. Now, You tube is gone from the app (at least on pixel 8) so it's kinda pointless to use now YouTube can be enabled in settings but you cannot see it in your car anymore using Android Auto whereas you used to be able to Oh man is my face red. It is the fermata auto. But that also isn't working. YouTube comes up on the phone but when I go to Android Auto, the fermata Auto app isn't there anymore. I
