Version 3.0.0

Symfonium is now Android 9+ due to abuse on the ratings about the equalizer not being present before and not enough ratings to counter that. Previous versions will still work fine on Android 5 to 8, but if you want a refund just contact me. Please note that I’m not happy to have to do that, but it’s already hard enough to fight the “app should be free bad ratings”, Play Store is a jungle, your ratings have an impact.

Added features

  • New option: Hide favorite button from now playing. (Still accessible from the 3 dots menu)
  • Sleep timer can be set as the additional information row. (With long press to quickly configure)
  • New Favourite playlists home overview row.
  • New option: Automatic offline cache of favorite albums and songs. (Note that smart playlists are often a better way to achieve this)
  • New option: Display playback messages.
  • New backup & restore function. Limited to settings for now but will expand.
  • Chromecast casting now support playback speed too.

  • Lyrics view should now have less delays and be more in sync for synced lyrics.
