I'm still using this over any other app for my audio files. I don't know what happened but this app used to pause whenever I made or took a call. now if I don't remember to pause first it a mess. Yes I have resume after a call, detect headset, etc. all set on. I read online that I might have to do some confusing thing with Google if I have everything set right but that doesn't make sense because it worked before. Don't know what u all can do and thanks it's a tiny bit easier to get into 4x mode.

For the last 3 years, bugs have been slowly introduced. Now it's just not usable. I use exclusively for audio so I can have a separate app that will always have what I'm listening to ready to resume and now it never resumes, but starts over. I overlooked how it would always show the wrong thumbnail for years...but now it has zero use. Sad, as I've spent years setting up custom playlists and now I will have to do that all over with a working app.

May 4th, 2025. Buggy experience on the Android version. Can only play videos once, then nearly impossible to start at beginning. Program play pointer has serious issues Go back and do it correctly. End user needs to be able to play movies more than once .. don't leave pointer at end once movie ends. Provide "start from beginning" option, dragging slider awkward And ineffective. I actually have to clear cache and memory to make it work. Sad. WHO TESTED THIS APP??????? Edited

This should be fixed in the next version 3.6.4, please come back to us if it isn't the case. Sorry for the inconvenience. There is a "Play from start" action you can use in the three dot menu to the right of the file in the browser.

I have issues with usability and general design clunkiness. Shuffle feature is a true shuffle that doesn't generate a sequence you can edit. File management of Playlists is frustrating and unintuitive (info doesnt show file path, you can't rename in app or add new songs directly from the playlist screen, listing them only organizes alphabetically, etc.). Library refreshes take AGES. Also not a fan of the design of the widget on android home screen, it doesn't utilize its space well. Edited

app suddenly stopped working all together. I want to start by saying I truly love this app, all I wanted to do was add a widget to my home screen and it crashed, now the apl will not open whatsoever even after clearing cache, force stopping and restarting my phone. I have no way of listening or accessing my mp3's conveniently and I have about 300. I just don't understand why the widget ruined it.
