PowerAmp [Android Music Player] - 48 Hour Sale - $1.85

1470

As per the Twitter posts here & here, one of Androids best music players is going on it's first ever sale. I've tinkered with the trial on many occasions and more recently I broke the first rule of any good OzBargainer and let my impatience get the best of me and purchased the full version. None the less, this app is definitely one of the best on my phone.

Check out the app at the developers website

Market Links:

PowerAmp 15 Day Trial
PowerAmp Trial Unlock (Full Version)

A reasonable review for those wanting a quick look on YouTube

Updated details from the Market page:

Rarely do we get users that make us so proud of what we've created. We have received ratings that have constantly staid above the 4.5 mark even after 100,000+ rating on top of that, we have received over 15,000,000 downloads. As thank you, we are doing a 48 hour application sale for $1.99 [US]. So if you love our player and want to get it for a bargain price (only time you'll get this chance this year), here you go guys. Thanks for using our player!

UPDATE:
As noted by a true OzBargainer "happening", the PowerAmp website is still selling the app for $1.95 AUD! Nice work!

  • Currently AU$1.85. What's the usual price?

    • +2

      $AU4.60 It's on sale for the next 48 hours.

  • Great for those who listen to lots of music on their Android devices. I only have time for podcast and audio books these days so still undecided.

    • +1

      you should get beyondpod.

      • I gave in 20 minutes after making the original post.

        Thanks for the suggestion. I use Google Listen for podcast and MortPlayer for audio book. They are both free and meet all my needs in these two categories.

  • Thanks for this! Wouldn't have seen it otherwise. Just installed on both my android devices. So far I'm very impressed.

  • Thanks for the share! I've been waiting for this since the 10c sale.

  • Thanks, the best Android player, IMHO

  • +19

    To those above saying thanks, we have a better way to express thanks. Its called the positive vote.

    Using it means more to everyone.

  • thanks, my trial expired yesterday.

    • Can't believe it…i just bought it yesterday…anyway of getting a refund n back at cheaper price :-)

  • Not that impressed. It doesn't look like it can be used as a master equalizer so no good if you are using a music streaming service like rdio (me!). Bit old school :)

  • I was waiting for some kind of deal on this player. this is not the best deal like 10c deals but still good with more than 50% off.

  • This is the best music player for Android that I've come across!

  • Good UI, good design, and FLAC support. Much better than Doubletwist or Winamp. + from me.

  • Agreed this is a great player - it may take you a little of time to fully appreciate all the features of this player and work out how to do things but it's definitely worthwhile once you do. This isn't really a weakness as much as a sign of being chock full of features.

    One thing I don't like is the lack of play controls on the lock screen like Winamp Pro has (though if you download the free app Headset Droid you can control most popular players using your handsfree control). Navigating through screens isn't as intuitive or painless as Winamp Pro also in some instances.

    Having said that it is my default player and at this price is a no brainer.

  • I enjoy the lockscreen, you can easily change songs by swiping the cover art left or right :)

    I paid full price for this and use it all the time! The only problem i've found is the default EQ is set to bass and treble on all my songs! How do I change that??

  • This is the best of the best!

  • Great app, worth the full price so this is definitely a bargain. Allows me to use my MetroFi 220vi headphones to skip track forwards and backwards on double/triple click. You can also configure a lock screen with the play pause and next track buttons on screen.

  • Thanks! Not overly impressed with the stock player, good price for an alternative player.

  • +7

    Love your tag (Realphonesthatdontstartwithani)

  • Great player for 24-bit FLAC… thanks

  • Great player, just make sure your phone is a good audio playing device. :P (ProTip SGS1 is amazing, SGS2 and GN are not.)

    • +1

      How come? Why is the SGS1 better at audio at the SGS2?

      • +2

        SGS2 has a crap audio chip (C1-YMU823), PowerAmp's graphic equalizer helps alot, it's a must if you want to bring out the deep vocal qualities of singers like Nana Mouskouri and Burt Bacharach.

        • +1

          This man speaks the truth.

          The SGS1 has the Wolfson WM8994 codec, a superior codec made by the people who had their chips in Apple products before their contract was cancelled. (Which is why you see an obvious move from iPods within the audiophile community.)

          The SGS1 donned superior audio quality, especially with this installed: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.cont…

          I can't stand the quality of my SGS2 so I ended up buying a Sansa Clip+ which has a very similar codec/dac/amp to the SGS1.

        • Who's Nana Mouskouri?

        • Looks shite

        • +1

          Looks shite

          That thunder you hear is the sound of 300 million plus simultaneous facepalms!!!

          Generation Y = why even bother telling them! :p

  • +1

    For $1.85 it's an instant purchase.
    I listen to a fair bit of music so looking forward to trying this.

  • +1

    Great! It recognises "WMA" format and doesn't just throw all my music under "Unknown artist".

  • Just purchased.
    Does anyone know how to filter out videos from coming up in All Songs?

    • +1

      Go to Settings > Music Folders. Untick the box (it's default is all media on SD card I think), then select the folders you have with music and no videos.

  • Does this work with Google Music?

  • Just going through the comments, negging everyone who says thanks without positiving the deal…

    • +2

      Just going through the comments, positive voting everyone who says thanks without positiving the deal…

      You mad?

      • -3

        U mad bro?

  • +1

    This is one of my must have apps on android, love it!

  • yeah. It's the best music player. I know you can adjust the volume by pressing the volume rocker on the phone, but I wish they could've made it easier to change volume rather than having first to press the volume button, then adjust the volume from there.

  • got one, was on the trail version previously. Great sound quality tweaks, i use this with the voodoo sound app and the sound quality improvement is immense relative to stock. this app Would be even better if they incorporated wi-fi sync function - winamp pro has this feature

  • Damn, already bought it. But that was long time ago and never regretted it.

  • Always found Poweramp to be the best music player on android but did not wish to pay $4.80 as google music would do the same job just without some minor extras like cutting of podcast names in folders. While alot of other players did have folder play or split podcast into their album names. Other also have problems with being frozen with ice cream sandwich.

    At less than $2 I more than happy to buy this to get rid of those annoying minor issues.

  • Great. Hope Tasker goes on sale soon.

    Also for those wondering why they're getting an additional $2 charge, Google does that to verify your credit card.
    They'll refund it shortly after.

  • Fantastic deal. My trial ran out recently and I was wondering whether I should drop the cash for it.

  • Just purchased. Great App. Thanks for the heads up on the deal.

  • love it, replaced my default android music app after using it.!

  • Thanks, great app!

  • +1

    wow, all these upvotes. i think ill need to buy an android device just to try it!

  • Will give it a go (using Double Twist now)

  • +2

    Goodbye Winamp… hello PowerAmp.

  • +1

    Thanks for this. I would never have noticed it without Ozbargain.

    I had to chuckle at the marketing spiel for the sale. "We have received ratings that have constantly staid above the 4.5 mark". Spell check has a lot to answer for. (I hope it was spell check, and not that the developers of PowerAmp don't know the difference between staid and stayed.)

    • I know a lot of coders/developers who are piss-poor spellers…I'm sure that if they did a study using fMRI or some other whizz-bang scan tech there's probably some weird right/left hemisphere brain thing going on that's not happening in other folks! ;)

    • +2

      pay —-> paid
      stay —-> staid
      engineers and developers use common sense lol

  • does anyone know when the 48hr sale started?

    • +1

      It started at 4am Sat morning, so due to finish at 4am tomorrow. I'll update the OP as such too!

  • Great purchase! My winamp app kept crashing! Hopefully this one won't!

  • +1

    I was contemplating for a while, but then decided to get it. One of the best purchases for my phone. These comments seem unusually positive, and that made me a bit skeptical. But after having used it, I cant recommend it more.

    Just the auto album art and cross fading of songs is worth the money. Love that it can edit the ID3 tags too. And the equalizer - made my music collection interesting again :)

    Thanks for the deal OP, cheers!

  • Thanks OP for pointing this..! =)

    I am still new in Android Market, so would like to ask about Google checkout/wallet.
    There was an additional fee ($2) on top of the Poweramp app fee when I checked on my bank transaction list.
    Is this $2 fee a merchant fee?

    • first time fee..will be refunded in a few days. Needed for verification

      • Ah, I see. Thanks for your help =)

  • +1

    Just if anyone lookin for alternatives, I found TTPod better than powerAMP and is free…originally got it as it downloads the lyrics and even synchronizes them, and can play them offline. Also has great widget, sleep timer, etc….check it out as an alternative and since PowerAMP sale over.

  • +2

    For those who are interested, the app is still selling for AUD 1.95 on their website!

    • Now that's a true bargain hunter!
      Direct link: https://secure.payproglobal.com/orderpage.aspx?products=4784…
      MODS: Might we unmark the expired status or shall we start a new bargain?

      • OK, I have unexpired the deal.

    • Thank you! Was meant to get around to buying on the weekend but forgot until this morning.

    • +4

      Or you can change the currency to USD and it'll sell for USD1.99, which is about AUD1.86.

      Save 9 cents!

  • Just purchased. Thanks OP!

  • Forgot to purchase the unlocker and now just missed it…back to normal price. :-(

    • Marked as expired (again!). :( Thanks for the update!
