Power Player Music Player User Reviews

Top reviews

Worked until it didn’t

I had initially given this a five star review but a few weeks and I started noticing several duplicates during the shuffle even within the hour. I emailed the developer and didn’t get a response.

Response from developer

My apologies for the late response. If you need additional help with finding duplicates, let me know!

Best I’ve used

I absolutely love this app. Its shuffle feature is the best I have ever used!!
I’m hearing music I’ve not heard in years because my library is so big.

Response from developer

Thank you for the positive review!

Great but

This app has potential but it does have a few issues, first off all the app already feels better than anything I’ve been using including Apple one. But it could use some work, I like the adaptive interface but as someone who work at a night shift i would like it to have a full dark mode which doesn’t really work with oled screen which sometimes it does and sometimes it goes grayish. Another thing is the buttons in the playback including the volume sometimes are unresponsive so I find myself pushing different areas to make them work.
Regardless the app does a good job but I hope they fix those issues. And one more thing I can suggest is if they can add different icons as they look like camera icons.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

RESPONSE TO DEVELOPER: the background within the player doesn’t function correctly, it starts with a dark black background but later on I’ll be gray. Looking forward to the iOS 26 update!

Thank you for the detailed review! For the full dark mode, do you mean disabling the blurred artwork? I can take a look at the playback buttons for a future update. With the new OS releases coming in fall, an updated icon will be added.

Really Nice Apple Music Player

This app has a great UI and the simplicity of importing songs from the Apple Music app is top-notch. I also love the visualizer on the fullscreen player. It’s not in use too often but it’s a great touch of classic music player feel. My only criticism is that i’d like to see a few more customization options like rounded corners on all album artwork, and I’d like to see all albums in the Artist tab (when an artist is selected or having to select “see all”) without having to scrub left or right. All in all, this is definitely a Power Player 💪🏻

Great offline music app

This music player app does exactly what it’s set out to do and with a nice, clean presentation.

Response from developer

Thank you for the positive review!

Eh

No option to set / change star ratings, but the info screen displays the rating.

Widgets don’t update unless you interact with it or the app. The widget also has the app icon over the artwork - annoying.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. Due to API limitations, it is not possible to change the star rating, only reading from the music library. In order to preserve battery life, iOS decides whether updating the widget is appropriate. The app has been configured to make sure the widget is updated as often as possible but eventually every third party app is at the mercy the system. I will take removing the app icon from the widget into consideration. If you have any more questions/feedback, feel free to email me at info@evenwerk.com

Solid alternative

I like the simplicity of the UI and the styling of the album and playlist elements. The lyrics pane is a clever implementation too. I would like to be able to perform actions such as like/dislike, changing modifying or hiding Home page sections or changing the style of the background elements.

Response from developer

I am glad to hear that you are enjoying Power Player! I will take a look into liking and disliking items. Home page sections can be hidden by deselecting them by tapping the two arrows in the upper right corner. What do you mean by changing the style of the background elements? You can reach me at info@evenwerk.com and I will take a look into it. -Tim

Fantastic

This is music player is top notch. My favorite part is definitely it's presentation. The amount of adaptive colors that is on display when you view your Now Playing, Album, Playlist, Artist Page and so on, has received so much care and attention, and it shows. Navigations between the different tabs (which are customizable) is extremely smooth and intuitive although more sorting options such as being able to sort by recently added while in the song or album tabs (similar to ios' native music app) would be a nice addition. One feature that is unfortunately a deal breaker for me is the inability too see what is Up Next in your music queue. Having to switch back to the native music app whenever I want to see or edit my queue really doesn't do it for me and I wished it was present in Power Player. I do hope that something of the sort gets implemented into the app in future updates. Overall the app is one of the best out there, the masterful implementation of adaptive colors is unmatched by any other music player out there which will keep me coming back.

Edit: I really appreciate the response, thank you for all that you've done on this player!

Response from developer

Thank you very much for the positive review and feedback! Unfortunately, due to API-limitations, I have not found a way to access the system music player's queue but would love to implement it if the API would allow it. If you have any more questions / feedback, feel free to contact me at info@evenwerk.com

Fun

Fun

Thank you for the positive review!

Good alternative

This is a good alternative to the Apple Music app, but I wish I can search the entire Apple Music catalog and add songs to my playlist. That’s the only downside I’ve come across so far.

Response from developer

Thank you for the positive review! In the future, I will add full Apple Music support, though I cannot give a timeframe yet. If you have any more questions, feedback or feature requests, feel free to send me a message at info@evenwerk.com

Almost perfect!

Loving what you’ve done but wondering about a couple of things:

Is there a way to disable lyrics and have the now playing the only thing displayed?

Any plans to allow this to be decoupled from using the Music.app and allow me to upload to PowerPlayer itself?

Response from developer

Thank you for the positive review! An option to hide the lyrics will be added in the future. Currently my focus is on iTunes / Apple Music but I would love to add more data sources in the future. Feel free to send me an email at info@evenwerk.com if you have any more questions / feature requests. Tim

No crossfade and no way to sort albums by artist.

Response from developer

Hi, I am sorry to hear Power Player doesn’t work as desired. Sorting albums by artist will be added in Power Player 1.6. Crossfade support depends on Apple as Power Player acts like a remote for the standard music app. If you have any more questions/ feature requests, feel free to contact me at info@evenwerk.com and I will do my best to help you out.

Excellent app

I haven’t had the app for long but I am really enjoying it. My favorite part is the ability to rotate my device and things will orient accordingly. I really like the new widget function too. If I could say one thing, and it’s honestly so minor it almost doesn’t matter, but I think it would be nice to pick a permanent background or background color both in app and for the widget.

Fantastic 😃

Hands down the "best" looking music app available. An absolute pleasure to use. Thank you for the time, effort and hours you have put into this.
Keep it up!

Off to a great start, just not quite there yet

This is the app I have been looking for for ages. Having a simple but fresh interface with my existing library is what’s so good about this app. However, at the moment, there isn’t much to do with the app, the only significant elements are what you are first shown when getting the app. I don’t mind so much as this app appears to be new I really want to see this idea being pushed further. Some thing I’d love to see could include options for themes (colours or styled elements), maybe animated icons?, or even a sort of home screen where you could arrange your favourite songs, albums or playlists in an easy to access place. There is so much more that can be done and I’m honestly excited for where this app could go!
