Gotta go publicly vocal for once about my loyal mobile Music Partner: Neutron MP. Simply put, there's no other mobile app sounding this good. Stretch all quality settings out with a little awareness about what you're doing, and prepare for aural bliss. It doesn't even require too much processing power (Exynos 7872, Android 7 DAP typing here), quite incredibly! UI may not appeal everybody, but I find it "refreshingly retro" if that means anything to you. Love at first sight... and listening!

I've had my eyes on Neutron for years, but the obsolete UI always pushed me away. Now that I tried it, I can say that my concerns were valid. Neutron is a good player with a rich set of audiophile features, but the UI ruins the experience for me. It looks like something from 20 years ago. I believe that it's time for a major UI rework. A good player deserves a modern, intuitive and user-friendly UI. Please gather your will and make it happen. Good luck! ;)

The hot fix worked. This truly is an amazing app with many great features, responsive devs, tons of customization, it's kind of like the equivalent of those people who won't shut up about how good vinyl sound vs digital, (but Neutron in a much better/non-annoying way.) The only feature I wish was different was that the limiter was independent of the compressor to allow for a little more control. Even so, with this app you will want for very little and none other compare.

2.23.7 NMP update caused massive license check failure on Android devices (not all though). Google Play just released 2.23.9 update with a hot-fix, please check if update is rolled out for your device. If not, you can download and install 2.23.9 manually from Neutron's web site: https://neutroncode.com/downloads/category/2-google-play
