Music player by Green Banana 1.5

Just another music player for listening to music on your phone
Some of the most popular applications on Google Play Store are music players, mainly because people like to listen to their favorite songs while on the go.

Music player by Green Banana is one of those applications, but despite its many downloads and high rates, it's quite simplistic and it doesn't really have that may features. Honestly, it's one of the most basic music player that we've ever see and the interface is down-right ugly.

Simplistic UI with absolutely no customization features

It's always nice to see developers take the time to provide new users with a tutorial or some sort of presentation of tools that they can find inside apps. Unfortunately, Music player by Green Banana doesn't come with any tips, but the app's layout isn't that complicated.

It lacks material design or a side menu with quick access to all sort of sections. We've seen our fair share of music players and many of them come with some sort of customization options. But this one doesn't, the interface is dark gray and it doesn't allow users to change it to a brighter color.

Listen to your music easily

The app doesn't take long to scan your device and retrieve songs that you'll saved on your phone. It arranges them into many categories, like albums, playlists, artists or individual songs. However, the app doesn't allow users to browse their gallery and retrieve audio tracks manually.

This is quite inconvenient, since it means that the app won't be able to retrieve files that you've saved on your SD card. It loads album art, but it won't be able to display lyrics or allow users to search for pictures on the internet.

It lacks many essential tools

The player mode is quite basic, it has some options on the bottom of the screen but it lacks an equalizer. It's one of the most basic tools that any music app has, so it's quite a shame that this player doesn't.

It lets you create playlists which is quite nice, but you can't make any changes to the app's functions. The settings menu only has a sleep menu, it lacks any adjustments to headsets.

The audio quality isn't that great and the app lacks controls in the status bar. It doesn't have any widgets, which means that you won't be able to skip songs from the home screen. It also lacks controls in the lockscreen.
