Poweramp, a full and lightweight Android music player

Not all Android terminals include a music player that offers adequate quality (even some do not even integrate it, so you have to resort to services like Google Play Music that leave much to be desired for some users). If you are looking for an application of this type, one option is that you get Poweramp.

This development is designed by and to play music, so you should not think that it is like VLC that apart from this also allows you to watch videos that you have on phones and tablets. Therefore, its function is unique and clear, and we anticipate that it performs with an efficiency that is beyond doubt … but without great boasting. By the way, a good detail: Poweramp is fully translated and with excellent quality in this section.

The interface that Poweramp offers is the usual one in this type of work, with the playback controls at the bottom and, at the top, there are different icons for direct access to different sections. We think it is right that the color used in the background is black, since it allows it to be different from its competition – in addition, this fits perfectly with the current trend of Android applications and Dark Mode. Interestingly, a wizard is included that appears the first time a new screen is accessed to make it clear what each button is for. A good addition, which without being very necessary, is not too included and others could do the same.

The operation is really light and fluid in all kinds of situations, even when you have background views. We have not detected a delay even in terminals that use quad-core processors and that only have 2 GB of RAM. That is, we are facing a job that is really well optimized. In addition, we have found it a good detail that extensive configuration options are offered in the Settings , highlighting possibilities such as changing the theme used (yes, you can put an aluminum or white finish) or indicate how you want to see the images that represent the different tracks that are played. Excellent the amount of options that exist when managing the use of headphones, both cable and Bluetooth.

Using the Poweramp application

As we have already indicated, everything is really simple, since you just have to choose the track to listen to, and then it starts and you can manage the playback with the usual controls. It is possible to access different folders of the Android terminal and, in addition, the scanning of compatible files is automatic. By the way, it must be said that the compatibility with different formats is very wide, where there is no lack of MP3; OGG; FLAC; WMA; and even MP4. Excellent, no doubt.

Poweramp includes advanced sound control options, since it does not lack a manual equalizer (which has very accurate presets) and, in addition, it also allows access to a screen in which there are possibilities to establish different balances or use of sound stereo – which, without a doubt, allows everything to be heard exactly as desired. By the way, you can use this application to set as a phone ringtone a track that is in the terminal and, also, a timer is available to turn off the playback – in case you want to listen to music just before going to sleep-.

Download Poweramp, an application to enjoy music

If you want to try this development, you can download it for free in the Galaxy App stores and Play Store, in both cases without any difficulty. If you use this development, you will get an efficient music player that offers no problems, so it may be just what more than one user is looking for.
