Usually $3.99 I believe. Great deal for arguably the best music player on Android!
This is the licence app. You will also need to download the "trial" app which is the actual app for PowerAmp :)

Same here. Still the best music app for Android.
Amazing deal.A massive regret i have is moving over to IOS as there is no PowerAmp.
You'd be spitting chips after the IOS9 upgrade too. The Apple music app went from very good to woeful overnight. It's almost impossible to do anything decent with the new music app - it's rubbish! Playlists are damn hard to use now … I'm guessing Apple want people to use Apple Music Subscription instead…
If you find a decent IOS music player that integrates with the lock screen and Siri, i'd love to know.
Yep the music player sucks! I'm still on IOS 8 and my device is jailbroken. The sad truth is the best music experience you're probably going to get is using spotify and downloading a tweak app such as SpotifySiriControls from Cydia. Streaming is the future and Apple know that there is no money in ITunes and CD sales. :(
Purchase this for full price years ago and still very happy with it, great music player.
has this ever been free before? i've never paid for an android app before :S
Google Rewards is your saviour!
what is that? dunno why u got a neg from someone there :S
It's an official Google-based survey app which rewards you Google Play credit which can be used on everything within their play store.
You won't always get surveys, sometimes you'll go on a drought of a few weeks. To give you an idea of potential earnings, I've earned $47.70 AU since 7/4/14.
thanks I just installed it and got $1 credit for doing a 1 question survey lol!
thanks spaghettiman!
I should have mentioned: some surveys won't give any money; these surveys essentially "broaden" the scope at which new types of surveys can be given. Also, the monetary value can fluctuate between $0.10c to $1.00, depending on how well you answer their questions. If you understand what type of survey its demographic is - don't be afraid to lie.
@kaneissik:
Didn't realise the survey had a fluctuating reward.
I'll have to lookout for that.
Odd,how a survey can be targeted,don't be afraid to lie.
Really? This is how you want to live? Sell your integrity for $1? I'm sorry for you, and I hope you get well soon.
Sell your integrity …
Some people don't have much in first place - if it can't be monetised, no point having it.
@kaneissik:
I've had the app for about 3 months ever since being on andriod and not had a single survey. any tips?
enable your location history in google maps and also ensure your GPS / location services are turned on.
This allows you to get surveys relating to the accuracy of Google maps and it's location tracking.
It's a product for free credit to use in a store, why would I want to give them factual information when I can manipulate it and get more? Grow up.
I've had the app for about 3 months ever since being on andriod and not had a single survey. any tips?
turn on location services.
I flick mine on occasionally & get a "have you visited any of these shops in the past week" (Woolies, Dan, etc)
I had this in my wishlist for awhile :) good buy.
TaDa DaTa
Good deal, useless for me since I only use Spotify but I purchased it anyway.
I don't use it much these days (use Google Play Music instead) but definitely the best player I found (and paid full price for)
Yup - Google Play Music rocks. If you VPN to USA, you can also have a Spotify-style playlists and 'radio' stations..
Thanks for the heads-up. Best music player - agreed.
got one in one mobile but couldnt install on another, says its price is USD 3.99 :(
Just installed on 2 phones on 1 10c purchase, second phone (on Woolies mobile) tethered to first (Telstra).
Same Google account?
It should work on unlimited devices.I have apps that I've bought installed onto my wife's phone even though my account is the secondary account on her phone.
Am I missing something here? I installed this but only see about 3 buttons… Is that all it is!?
This is the Full Version Unlocker. It unlock the paid features in the Free Version which need to be install separately.
Yes, didn't see some features until it started a second time. Having to 'hide' the second icon… what a strange way of doing things.
This app or Rocket Player are essential for managing music on Android. The Google Play Music app sucks arse when it comes to managing device-based playlists…I've never been able to get it to read synced M3U playlists properly.
My favourite music player! it has a little quirk here and there but its there with the best.
Great app. Especially with the Material skin
Best android music player for me.
Paid full price a year ago for this.
Awesome deal.But does it really whip the llama's ass?
thanks, grabbed it, maybe it wont have the memory leak I get Play music on my phone….after about 30mins of music all other functions start lagging.
Thanks op. Bought 2.
Can this app display Chinese and Korean songs properly? Eg. ID3 tags with UTF, song names or file names in those languages? Can it find lyrics for those?
Yes and No. Lyrics are sourced from https://www.musixmatch.com/ and I think only english lyrics are indexed.
Ok that's the down side. With kpop so popular these days I think I would give this a miss
Yes and yes. Don't listen to the other guy.
It can display Chinese, Korean and Japanese lyrics, though availability through Musixmatch might be romanised from Chinese, Korean or Japanese.

That's great so it does support it and it's usable. I will just buy it and try.
Anyone tried this?

This is my no. 1 music app
looks like a great deal, but what makes this a good player? can someone please give a few dot points why this player and not something like google music player?
Thanks
For me, the only great thing about this player is the equaliser. It works very well (the best i've tried) if you like your music a certain way. For me, i'm a little bit of a bass head and this is perfect for me, as it is really easy to adjust the bass.
I've been using it for 3 years now, and the equaliser is the only reason why i stick with it. The UI is really bad imo, definitely worse than the default music player.
For 10c you really can't go wrong.
^this!
Hunga is spot on… the ability to control the way your music is played and being able to set profiles depending on how you play it (for instance wireless headphones, wired headphones, button earpiece vs full headset, plugged into the hifi etc) all require different processing (or in the case of hifi, none at all).
Every other music player out there tampers with what you hear. With Power Amp, you can tweak or you can tell it to leave it alone and let the processing be done externally.
I completely agree that the UI is non-intuitive though. It takes a while to get used to moving from one album or artist to another, but that's the only down point to a very powerful music player.
I use it in conjunction with iSyncR… allows seamless integration with your iTunes music library. You can connect your phone up to the pc, and iSyncR will automatically sniff the iTunes folder and get your playlists for you.
Of course, not as easy as native Apple support between Apple devices and iTunes, but as close as you are going to get.
For 10c, definitely buy it. It's hardly ever on sale… I paid full price a few years ago and havent seen it this price during that entire time.
It handles synced playlists a lot better than Google Play Music. I sync playlists to my tablet and phones using iSyncr or MediaMonkey, and Rocket and Poweramp read them perfectly. GPM on the other hand always jumbles them up for God knows what reason.
Plus you can force it to rescan the media library, unlike GPM which in my experience can take a while to refresh itself and see new tracks synced to the device…
I exclusively use Spotify these days, however I bought it anyway.
10 cents - Why not
This program damaged my MP3 library at one point significantly, the support guys were useless when I tried to provide bug feedback.
I've switched to "Player Pro" - awful name but a really REALLY damn good alternative.Considering this damaged my MP3's when it was only trying to download .JPG folder art, I was pretty peeved.
Nope and nope on this one, screw those guys indefinitely.
Player Pro, seriously - it's genuinely good.

You keep your MP3 library on your phone???
That's the beauty of phones with SD card slots.
Yeah of course? I live in Australia, no unlimited data here to stream.
His point was your phone shouldn't be your only copy. Just restore from a backup. I've not seen or heard of this issue.
I have mine on a HDD, and a copy on my SD card. Never had any issues with Power Amp, have been using it for years.
Sure so do I, it's not the point though, it fried my library.
It somehow did like some oldschool dos style copying thing where I ended up with 3.5mb .JPG's which if I just hapenned to rename to .MP3 - was the missing song out of one folderOr an MP3 which was exactly 17kb larger than it used to be and the new folder.jpg file was 17kb in that directory, it had downloaded the image then 'copied it in' to one of the MP3's
Just a royal mess and their support / bug department had 0 interest, despite documenting it.
Also, PlayerPro just plain looks better, love that I can turn off and on album / video / artist views and keep it simple
@hamwhisperer: Embedding album art into the MP3 file itself is fairly normal, that said it shouldn't break things. I've used Power amp and was pretty disappointed with it, the interface is fairly cumbersome (imho). Personally I use Shuttle+.
I'm not sure why your first comment was neg'ed, since your negative vote was correctly used.
@CyberGenesys: People gotta wave the flag for their brands.
I'll never use that app again (and yes, I have a paid copy) it literally damaged my files, nope!@CyberGenesys: Wow, now the neg vote is revoked, man that's just broken. I hope the idiots get their MP3 librarys corrupted.
@hamwhisperer:
No it worked as your comment was negged too much. I'd suspect your MP3s were somehow incompatible if Poweramp actually damaged them or perhaps a filesystem issue. Either way, no one else has had such a problem that I've ever seen.So you restored your backup right and nothing was lost?
I find Player pro a lot weaker than Poweramp and Rocket when it comes to scanning the library.
I had something similar too, when I re-scanned my library on the SD card. It ended up changing file names and making most MP3's unplayable. Had to start again and re-rip heaps of songs. Now I'm with MediaMonkey which plays well enough.
Not sure why you've been negged so much, as it's a valid complaint.
Thanks for reply - people want to live by their brands
I prefer BlackPlayer. It's free and once you get used to the swiping around instead of tapping it's really nice.
I just settled on this after trying heaps of different apps. I used to use the HTC Music app, and that worked perfectly for me (especially since I could play from folders rather than having playlists). I recently flashed GPE Marshmallow and started using stock Google apps; I was amazed how bad Google Play Music is. I had to fix all the ID3 tags for my songs (~300 on my phone) and create playlists externally, and still Play Music sucked. BlackPlayer is working very nicely and looks great. It made is super easy to get artist and album images. I just need to get used to not swiping when I'm in a playlist, because it removes tracks from the list (thankfully there is an undo option).
I'll give PowerAmp a go though.
Definitely worth it for the dollars. I've been using it for years and the only complaint I have with it is sometimes it will "relock" itself and need an internet connection to unlock the paid version. Normally it does it all on its own, but when you're on a plane or in the middle of nowhere it can be annoying to lose your media player for a few hours. So while I really like the player and how it makes playlists. I still keep the stock player as back up.
I installed the paid one and opened it. It said "this is just an unlocker key - install the free version too". So i've done that. Can i uninstall the unlocker key now? I don't want two apps just to use one thing.
Furthermore, i only got this to try a better app for playing a series of files that are chapters of an audiobook. I couldn't get the normal music player or spotify to make a playlist and play all the chapters in order. theyd only play one file and then id have to manually start the next file.
any tips?
You need to keep the unlocker key app.
But you can hide it from your drawer.
Just open the Unlocker and tell it to hide.Space wise the unlocker program is miniscule.
Top freaking deal much thanks OP!!
Off topic but is there a search engine for apps by price?
Put the trial on my phone the other day to try this out. Have been using n7player and was wanting to try something else. Thanks OP.
+1 for n7player. Love the album cover wall. Will probably continue to use N7, but this is a nice pickup for 10cents!
Yeah it has been good. But lately when it's playing via bluetooth in the car it doesn't resume playing properly after a phone call. But for 10 cents i'll give PowerAmp a good go.
how's it compare to sony's own music app? got the xperia z1 and the "walkman" player drives my music.
LG's music app, and Sony's walkman apps will do fine unless you really need the equaliser settings.
Other OEM's apps are pretty good (except Huawei)…GPM is the crappiest of the lot for managing device-based music IME.
Does anyone know if this can play midis and module files (.mod .s3m .xm .it etc)?
If not, then it is NOT the best music player, it's the best waveform audio player.I just confirmed with the free trial that this only plays waveform audio. Deadbeef is still the ONLY android music player that plays ALL music formats.
I'll have to give it ago… but permissions and Ads.
"phone state & identity permission is used to detect when a user accepts incoming call, to stop playback." Really? I don't think my other apps need that.
"send sticky broadcast" (Ewww)
Yeah, I agree with you but resorted to having 2 apps and feel its better this way in the end.
FolderPlayer (Free and no suspect permissions) because I like to keep all my MP3s sorted by folders and XMP Mod Player(Free and no suspect permissions) which plays 95% of the multiude of mods types (sometimes I need to convert). Oh, audio book, I'm using Clean Music (Free and no suspect permissions). Did I mention I like apps Free with no suspect permissions?
Thanks op! Could not have come at a better time, just got a LG G4 and trying to find the best music app with folder/dir searching. Purchased!
Google charged me 10p (0.10 British Pounds). WTF!
I remember doing a comparison between PlayerPro and PowerAmp, and liked PlayerPro much better. Has an easier user-centered design (find all the settings you need), album cover art displays faster and is more accurate (also picked up every MP3 in my phone). PowerAmp sometimes didn't display album art, sometimes the wrong cover art and didn't find all my MP3s in the phone. I found the increased buffer setting worked better on PlayerPro (PowerAmp skipped sometimes when using VIPER, where PlayerPro didn't). That's about it, there was a few other features, but enough for me to stick with PP.
This is a good price anyway though.
PlayerPro is vastly superior and doesn't corrupt your library (on occassion) Plus the support guys actually respond to bug reports.
Big neg on PowerAmp, I really dislike that garbage application.
Paid for this years ago, still own it and love it, love all the advanced library management, skins, cross fading and the bass and sfx controls it gives me. BARGAIN now, IMO.
You can really kick up the bass by like 3 fold using this software. I'll definitely recommend this if you like to tweak the sound profile to perfection
Prefer mortplayer as it's still the only player that sorts files the way I like it.
Best music app = Onkyo HF player
The only true audiophile app, no gimmicks.
thats what they all say..
Ta, don't know how to use it, but bought it anyway cos it's cheap.
Just installed the trial version. Went to setting and tried to purchase the full app. Brought me back to google play and it shows $0.10, but when I clicked Buy it gave me a pop-up showing $3.99. What did I do wrong? Very strange. Help?
NVM, got it worked. Had to change my settings which was US instead of AU. Bought it…thanks OP.
Whats the process to do this?
I've been into 'My Account' and removed my US address and added an AU address.
Still comes up as $3.99 US in the Play Store.
