Review summary

Poweramp Equalizer is praised for deep customization, broad features, and a large library of presets that improve sound across many players and devices, plus a worthwhile one-time premium. However, reviewers flag compatibility issues on certain Android versions/devices (e.g., Pixel 9, Android 16), reliability problems sometimes requiring hacks, and UI quirks like an unexplained notification badge. Overall, it’s a powerful, feature-rich tool with caveats around device compatibility and stability.

Pros

Extremely feature-rich and regularly updated with new options and skins.
Works with most music players and supports per-device presets for easy switching.
Huge range of presets, including headphone/earbud-specific profiles, with noticeable sound improvements (bass and clarity).
Premium, one-time purchase offers strong value and is widely praised.
Global and per-app equalization can affect ringtone and other sounds, offering broad control.

Cons

Inconsistent compatibility on certain devices and Android versions (e.g., Pixel 9, Android 16) requiring workarounds.
Not functioning properly on some devices or setups, with reports of needing ADB or other hacks to operate.
Unclear notification badge (red dot) on the app icon with no visible in-app notification.
Intermittent reliability issues such as skipping causing spikes or double equalization with Android Auto.

2026-07-07	Er*****	Needs Developer Level Manipulation To Work With Tidal. while there is a forum to learn how to use this app with all players, it is a steep learning curve, and might involve using separate software to set the dev level conditions to make it work for players like Tidal. From my short investigation, it may even need a PC to set it up to work, a pain in the arse! Not what I was expecting, nor wanted. developer is not much help but did respond.

2026-07-06	Ru*****	3.75/5. I need a way to add more air and a slight amount of reverb too, which I am unable to do with the current settings. Although the features are extensive and should not leave a room for any complaints but if its possible then please add them. My setup is Oneplus 9 5G > Android 14 > Apple Music > Audiocular D07 DAC > KZ castor pro IEM. But I believe for an audiophile, this is the equalizer to go for.

2026-07-06	Ja*****	Product works as intended...that is until Android 17. It fails now using it with YouTube/YouTube Music. I have the paid version and reset everything back to defaults and it still doesn't work. Will change the review to 5 stars once it works with Android 17 again. (Pixel 9 Pro XL)

2026-07-05	Je*****	Definitely one of the very best equalizers out there on Android. my major problem is for some of us that use Tidal. Somehow it's not compatible with tidal and even after some tweaks to make it compatible with all music players it's just not as smooth with Spotify. This a big disappointment for me personally cause how does one of the biggest streaming platforms not have compatibility.

2026-07-03	Do*****	The best standalone eq app that amplifies all the audio on your phone; even from every streaming app, once you put this on global audio in the settings. You can get a very rich and impactful sound from this application. Using it with poweramp, neutron, jetaudio etc, is just a wonderful option to have.
