## Review summary

projectM Music Visualizer Pro is praised for its stunning, responsive music visualizations with nostalgic references to classic visualizers. Users appreciate its versatility as a screensaver and wallpaper and the developer's active support. However, common issues include casting crashes, limited playlist and preset functionality, inconvenient wallpaper settings, and extra cost for Android TV versions. Despite minor bugs in transitions and UI, the app remains a top choice for music visualization on Android devices.

### Pros

- High quality and beautiful music visualizations that react well to sound, reminiscent of classic visualizers like Milkdrop and Winamp.
- Wide compatibility and long-term usage across various Android devices, including use as a screensaver and wallpaper.
- Frequent updates and responsive developer support appreciated by users.
- The app delivers smooth, fast performance on modern devices and offers features like daydream mode and customization options.
- Ability to mirror visuals on larger screens via screen mirroring and Samsung DeX, maintaining clarity and quality.

### Cons

- Issues with Chromecast support causing device crashes requiring resets.
- Limited playlist and preset management: inability to create or maintain playlists and crashes when freezing on one visual.
- Wallpaper setting is cumbersome: can't choose lock screen only, changing wallpapers defaults unexpectedly, and no gesture controls in wallpaper mode.
- Android TV version requires separate purchase despite owning the Pro version on other devices, leading to dissatisfaction.
- Transitions between presets sometimes snap abruptly without smooth effects, reducing the visual experience.
