Obviously this doesn’t have anything to do with the way the app plays music, but in my opinion the album art is part of the overall experience. Each time I just saw the boring Poweramp logo, making for a less pretty experience. I tried to import ten songs, and none of them included album art.

The second problem with Poweramp is the presentation of songs. It’s best to leave these features to professionals who might use it for their jobs or as a hobby. They might even play around with it for fun and end up screwing up their sound quality. The only problem is that the average user would never touch this. The app has buttons and knobs to adjust things like bass and tone. The initial interface is just fine, but once you start looking at the settings and mixing options you can see what I’m talking about. The primary reason Poweramp is not for everyone is because the extras are overwhelming. You don’t have to worry about your email or contact information being taken.

The app doesn’t take any of your information and use it for profit or for sharing with other companies. Another nice thing about Poweramp is the security. Sometimes your playlists won’t cut it so you need to create a queue within just a few minutes. The Poweramp mobile app also includes a Queue option, which makes it easy to place a bunch of songs in order for a party or other gathering. You can always rate the songs as you play them and then click on the top rated area to listen to the stuff that you enjoy most. You’ll also notice that the Playlists are easy to create, and you can always reference the playlists from the settings tab on the primary track screen. This then dropped the music in the proper genres and artist categories. Once I downloaded a few songs on my tablet, it took just a few seconds for the Poweramp app to recognize that I had new media.

Poweramp is perfect for categorizing your songs.
