I have been using Lollypop on my phone for about 2 years now. I have tried a few other apps but nothing worked quite as well for me as Lollypop.
That said, I still have a lot of gripes with Lollypop. Rather than complain about it, though, I’d rather hear about something new.
The last time I went looking for a new app was in 2023. Is there anything new in 2025 worth checking out?
My wants:
- Large-ish local library (350gb) and I want it to load/scroll through fast. Lollypop is quite slow here.
- I really prefer the UI to list artists, open one, then list albums, open one, then list songs. Too many apps list all your albums, or all your individual songs, and I hate this.
Perfect. I use VLC installed via Fdroid as my primary Android music player. The only thing I could never get to work was displaying Album art, but I stopped caring enough to fiddle with it for such a trivial thing long ago.
