Poweramp was one of the first to offer an MP3 player on Android. The pioneer of multimedia players is back with some improvements. This new audio application tries to reconnect with the recipe that made the success of previous versions. So successful bet?
All-in-one audio players
In the audio application mode, the best is often the worst. With the emergence of streaming services, our music players have gradually turned into real music management systems with a lot of features.
Some are actually real gas plants. It can be used to buy music tracks, manage media transfers to other devices, listen to streaming music, launch podcasts, and view radio stations around the world.
Are these transformations beneficial for the user? Not always. The multiplication of features leads to an increase in the number of menus. The result, the ergonomics of some applications leave something to be desired. It is known to design a very complete audio tool for devices with screens less than 6 inches is not easy.

Chaining playback of music tracks with the fade functionThis is where the Poweramp app comes in. The design of the media player provides a clear and simple interface. Ergonomics has been at the heart of the audio player creation process. Setup, folder management, supported formats, lyrics support nothing was left to chance.
Reading interface
Launch your tracks from the Poweramp Music LibraryAt the first launch, we go directly to the Library section. The different songs stored in the memory of your smartphone can be displayed as a list or carousel with all album covers. If you miss the covers of some titles, the application will take care to go retrieve them on the internet.View your music tracks as a list
Supported audio formats
Poweramp stands out from the competition for the type of files supported. Where most audio players only offer compatibility with only a few formats, Poweramp supports virtually everything that exists (MP3, ACC, OGG, FLAC, WAV, APE, TTA, MPC, AIFF, WMA etc ..). Difficult to take it in default.
Music lovers will also be able to enjoy the 10-band graphic equalizer, the non-white playback system, and the separate bass and treble adjustment tool.
The app can also download song lyrics via the use of the Musixmatch plugin.
The only black point, Poweramp does not support UPnP and DLNA protocols. It is therefore impossible to stream audio files from another machine connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Fortunately, we find on the Play Store alternative solutions like BubbleUPnP.
Poweramp Full Version
As you can see, Poweramp is far from being an outdated application. It remains today a very good choice knowing to reconcile power and ease of use. Beware the free version allows you to test all the features of the audio player for 15 days.
The paid version is sold for 3.99 euros on the Play Store. It's up to you to see if Poweramp deserves such an investment. For us, at Prodigemobile the answer is clearly yes.
