Free Mp3 Music Pro 2.5.0.0
For those who want to fill up their Windows Phone powered device with all the audio files it can carry, one of the tools that can help them do that is suggestively called Free Mp3 Music Pro.
Nice graphics inside a practical layout
The interface that will welcome you from the first run is quite nice in terms of visual appeal, featuring some nicely designed graphics for the tiles shown on the home screen and a cool animation in the "Playground" section of the app.
The navigation inside the GUI is also smooth and without glitches, but there are some slight delays when it comes to loading the search results and a few more nuisances that follow you around.
The advertisement banners that appear in most sections of the utility are continuously changing and they are accompanied by some prompts to rate and review Free Mp3 Music Pro that appear at startup and by some offers to try out third-party apps when exiting. The ads can be removed for good after making a payment.
Song search and download at a glance
This utility has a pretty good search function that seeks for music inside the online database it has access to and provides a good assortment of songs. There is a separate screen where you can see and select for download the latest Billboard hits.
Downloading the tracks is a one tap job and inside the app's dedicated area you will be able to monitor the progress and save song in the phone's music library as soon as the transfer is complete.
Nonetheless, this last feature is available only with a purchase, so you will have to be content in the trial version with having the songs stored in the application's local storage.
Effortless playlist creation and basic playback controls
Each music track you want to play from inside this utility can be added into an existing playlist or inside one you create on the spot and you can include them into your collection of favorites.
The usual previous, next, play and pause buttons are available for you to use and it is also possible to move back and forth inside the currently playing tracks with the help of the dedicated slider control.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The app looks and feels good, thanks to the nice graphics and animations, but the ads and prompts spoil much of the fun. |
Function6
Users can easily locate and save the songs or add them in playlists, but there are no music categories and some features are restricted from use. |
Security7
Free Mp3 Music Pro needs to access other areas of the system than the multimedia library, even if these have nothing to do with the actual functionality. |
Battery2
The power consumption is extremely high at all times which is quite visible when considering the battery usage. |
Price8
The feature pack is pretty solid, but the functional limitations that require a fee to be lifted and the ad removal that also requires a purchase diminish its value. |
Compatibility9
Only the more recent handsets can have this utility up and running as it needs at least Windows Phone 8 installed onto the device. |
