Hello everyone,
hope you all had a great summer with lots of time spent with someone special. This summer I spent countless hours on someone very special to me. Many might not know me, but I am Max, the developer of Poweramp—a popular and Powerful music player. I have been working 3 years to build the perfect music player. Spending nights alone in my office with nothing more than the 60+ test devices I have to use before every new release, but more importantly, the codes for Poweramp. In 3 years Poweramp has grown to become a music player with well over 15 million downloads on the free version, and just recently 1 million on the paid version. People always ask me why I developed Poweramp and the answer is quite simple, I love music. Music is very important; it motivates many people to reach new heights, it inspires many, it can keep/bring back lost memories, and for me, it can change the world.
For years people have bought the idea that you have to spend $300 dollars on headphones to get the best quality, and Poweramp is here to prove that that is a lie. I built Poweramp for people like me that love music, and want to listen to quality every time they put on their headphones without having to go out to a store and spend their paycheck for something that just oversaturates your ears with too much bass or treble. Poweramp was built to make music quality a priority. The next release of Poweramp 3.0 will bring a lot of new features and functionalities, but one thing I can promise you is that it will not stop being just a music player. Poweramp will never play videos, it will never be a web browser, it won’t even become a cloud music service—it will always be a very powerful music player and nothing more.
Three years, and 1 million paid users later, I want to say thank you. Thank you for the motivation to keep doing this. Thank you for the support and ideas that help make Poweramp what it is today. And most importantly, thank you for making Poweramp a part of your life.
Please share this link to everyone, and look out for the giveaways we are sponsoring throughout the web—I hope you win something.
Have a great weekend!
Q/A
Q: What’s taking so long? When is Poweramp 3.0 coming? Any ETAs?
A: Poweramp 3.0 has been pushed back many times for many reasons. The reasons, more recently, is due to the fact that we found some features that we would not be happy releasing Poweramp 3.0 without. I am working very hard to give you this update, so please be patient. We are not taking a long time because we like to make you wait, but rather because we want to release something great, something that you will be very excited about using for the first time and continuously using it for the years to come. Sorry, no ETAs but just know that if you buy Poweramp now, you will get the update for free.
Q: Will there be Google Music and other cloud support?
A: Yes, we are working on a dynamic system that can handle more than one cloud service input, and we are in talk with a few companies to make it possible for Poweramp to support a vast majority of the most popular services.
Q: What is up with all the giveaways?
A: I believe that there are people in parts of the world that truly can’t afford Poweramp, and don’t have any payment methods to make purchasing possible, and that’s why we feel like we owe it to them to do giveaways. If you can afford Poweramp, please let others that don’t have the means to get Poweramp have a chance to win the copies—this world is really not fair you know.
Thank you!
Thanks designed for sharing such a pleasant thought, post
is nice, thats why i have read it completely
Hey, Max. First off, thanks for creating such an ideal music player that delivers in nearly every aspect possible. It completely outshines the iPhone/iPod's default music and equalizers and it's also the only reason why I still have an Android phone.
However, with the upcoming release of the new iPhone 5, I was hoping to make the switch, but don't want to leave PowerAMP behind. Please tell me if there's any plans to release an iOS edition of PowerAMP. I would prefer not having to pay for it twice, but if that's what it takes to get it on the iOS then I'll gladly do so, and I think many other iPhone users would do the same, too.
Keep at it, and PowerAMP can only get better
Thank you for your hard work in developing this software. I absolutely love it. I wasn't satisfied with the other player apps out there, but Poweramp is so easy to use and customize. Good luck with version 3!
Congratulations, and thanks for the great app!
Hope to see another sale of Poweramp when 3.0 is released! Please?
Hello max. I really hope you're having a great time with your loved ones.
I really love poweramp. It's seriously changed the way I listen to music. It's made it easier, made it better, in every way. When I first used it, I couldn't believe my phone could produce such clean sound. I've tried many music players for Android, (Player Pro, N7Player, Google Play Music, CyanogenMod's Apollo, Winamp for Android, HTC Sense music player, Sony Walkman player, you name it!) and none of them, none of them, came even close to poweramp.
I've been wanting to buy poweramp ever since I first used it. It's really not that much money and I believe it's worth much more than that. But I can't I can't even access Google Play without proxy. Paypal doesn't even have my country in their list. I really feel guilty for using this app for so long and not paying for it. If I could buy apps, this would the first thing I'd bought.
Anyway, thanks a lot for giving us such great music experience.
Hoping the best for you, bye.
I've already use this for that long?! PowerAMP is my first free app, and my first paid app as well! This music player is also one of the reason why I have never moved to iOS.
Well done, Max!! Keep it coming.
Sincerely,
Max
Thank you for the work you put into Poweramp. Really enjoy it. Looking forward to the cloud service integration!
That 3 years most certainly shows my mayne! I very much recall getting my first android (LG Ally) in December of 2010 and buying PowerAmp almost immediately… in no time my iPod Nano was collecting dust and I've never looked back! Loads of thanks!
Possible to have a promotion price for the unlocker to celebrate 3 years?
