This app is absolutely amazing for listening to music, but I can do nothing with it now for the last two weeks to a month. It keeps telling me the trial period is expired. I followed the instructions to the letter to clear Neutron cache, Google Play Services cache, Google Play Store cache, and reboot device. After ten minutes of work and device restart I get the same message. This needs fixing ASAP! I highly doubt it's Google's fault.

Updated: Gee... Do I dare to update again? I Uninstalled and reinstalled then had to back door the music that reside on my sd card. I am so, so disappointed. Does Neutron need some new idiots in the app development team? 2 updates ago your app dropped the usb-c analog audio driver. The latest update does not recognize my audio library on my SD card. I rebooted my phone and re-elected the audio I wanted it to play. It does not even find a single mp3 or wav file. A problem I have seen before.

(would give 5 stars is there was an option to edit ID3 tags) The only audio player I'll use and at the same time... Neutron is the absolute best player available on a mobile device but I'll never update through the play store ever again. If you have your music stored on an SD card and not at least above average experience, this is not for you. If you're chasing the best quality available for HD audio and willing to accept some aggregation, worth it.

My past concerns have been addressed, the app definitely needs a way to backup settings because there are a lot of settings and if for whatever reason they ever get cleared like happened to me in the past it's a huge pain setting them back up. But other than that minor thing this is probably the best music player on Android

Neutron is a good HiRes player. It will output up to 192 khz to Chromecast although most Chromecast default to 96khz. I like the app, a couple strange ways of doing things but I'm sure given more time they will refine the UI. I've had no problems with Dac control or Chromecast use at all. The folder/library setup needs some refining but works as it is. I use other apps for different reasons such as USB player but you never get everything in just one app.

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.

Best music player if you like to tweak your audio in various ways (EQ, crossfeed, etc.). One of the worst if you like pretty or intuitive UIs. Would be 5 stars with a little more work on the usability (i.e., easier playlist management, EQ preset switching without having to navigate through 3 menus, and stuff like that).

Have loved this app for a long time. I'm a dj and have a ton of downloaded music (30800 tracks on phone) however, since the latest update it refuses to refresh and can't find new music in my folders....the refresh light flashes a couple times and then stops...PLEASE can you remedy this slight hiccup?! Don't wanna look for a new app, don't need a new app...PLEASE FIX & thx for all you do....much love Fixed....you need to click Sources & refresh from that screen
