Poweramp is a robust app, with more features buried in the Settings. If you're putting on a party (even if it's a party of one), you can choose from several animated visualizations that appear over the interface or take over your screen as an ambient display. It's easy to find the menu item you're looking for, whether you're fielding playlists, streams, or all songs. If you want to listen to music loudly from your phone, select the Speaker (Loud) setting in the equalizer to increase the gain and get loud results.

It offers Android Auto, Chromecast, and Google Assistant support to bridge the hole left by Play Music's departure.īass heads can adjust the bass and treble from a user-friendly equalizer interface, and there's Direct Volume Control (DVC) for extended dynamic range and deeper bass. Along with playing many local music file types, it lets you import HTTP streams from sites like Digitally Imported. Poweramp is as powerful as its name suggests.
