Been using this for years and it's still the best music player around. Peter updates consistently and quickly and even responds to emailed bug reports directly. Definitely support this project!

Would rate this 5 stars if it wasn't for one issue. When clicking "Exit" in the menu, and either closing the app's media control notification or just leaving it alone, it would bug. Once you open the app again and start playing a track, the media notification stays disabled, preventing media control though headphones, gestures, etc. Please fix.

No-nonsense, just does what you need - plays audio files, without any added junk! If all apps were like this.

I've been using the free version since 2010! I just saw there was a "pro" version, so I paid just to support Peter with a small thanks for this app for all these years. I've gotten far, far more than $3 of value out of this app in the nearly 15 years I've been using it, and I look forward to 15 more! Thank you for Folder Player, Peter, it's stellar!

Love the app but when I went to pro I have continuous problems with the app crashing and the message " had to be restarted by system." This happens once or twice every 30 minutes. I'm going to delete and go back to the plain version.

This is the only useful music player app I found on Google Play Store. I've tried dozens of other music players. None of them allowed me to play my music in the way I want to... By folder. Thank you for Folder Player Just PLEASE add native Chromecast support. Casting the phone audio through the Home app isn't the same thing. For example, I can't tell the Google Assistant to pause the music when it's not playing directly through an app with native Chromecast support.

I used to love this app. Then I bought the premium version. Now it craps out occasionally and needs to be uninstalled/reinstalled about once a week. Update: I appreciate the response. Sometimes Google maps will cause the need to reinstall. So I'm not blaming just you or the app. It's just really frustrating. Still use the app most of the time.

Misbehaving! Have used for years, but latest update has destroyed it. Runs in the background, runs battery down, and makes phone get hot. Attempts to optimize in phone settings makes app stop and lose memory of memory card music folders. If you listen to anything like a marathon, this app will now only frustrate you. Can't start every morning and continue where I left off because the app forgets and has to be setup again. Will have to use something else.
