I understand your concerns, and I know many projects get abandoned after a few weeks. But I've put a lot of time and effort into my app, and I keep working on it, fixing bugs, releasing updates and listening to feedback. I'm doing all of this on my own because I genuinely enjoy it, and I have no intention of stopping. I think what matters is how well an app works and whether the developer is willing to keep improving it. Time will tell. And thank you for expressing your opinion respectfully, I really appreciate that

Levyra mainly uses YouTube and YouTube Music for streaming. It can also use JioSaavn for higher quality audio, up to 320 kbps when available. If a source isn't available, the app automatically falls back to another one. You can also check which source is being used for each song directly in the app by opening the player menu and selecting "Technical audio info". It shows the provider, codec, bitrate and other playback details. Levyra doesn't host or distribute any music itself

Thanks for sharing your experience in so much detail. A lot has changed since you first tried Levyra. I've reworked much of the interface, especially Home, Explore and Library, to make things easier to find and use. I've also improved music recommendations and autoplay, which now take your listening habits into account and try to avoid repeating the same artists and songs too often. Audio quality has improved quite a bit too, although I'd like to know if you're still getting those 48 kbps downloads. If it happens again, just tell me which song and I'll look into it. I'd love to hear what you think of the latest version, since Levyra has changed a lot since its early days. And if you have any other suggestions, requests or issues, feel free to share them. I'll be happy to look into them and fix what I can

Oh, thanks for pointing that out, I really appreciate it. I'll get it fixed. And if you ever feel like giving my app a try, I'd love to hear what you think. Any feedback or suggestions are always welcome

Really glad you're enjoying Levyra, especially the download feature. It's nice to hear it's been working well for you. I'm still working on improving things, so feedback like this means a lot. Also, if anyone here enjoys Levyra and hasn't left a star on GitHub yet, I'd really appreciate it. It helps more people discover the project and means a lot to me as a solo developer :)

I see what you mean, accidental taps can be annoying. I'll add a menu with options like Play Next in the next release, so you'll have it very soon. And thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you found my app :)

I see what you mean now. My app already supports multiple queues, though they work a bit differently from Musicolet's. Remembering the playback position for each queue is a good idea, and I'll see what I can do about it. I'm not trying to convince anyone to leave an app they're happy with, I just want to keep improving my own. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, I appreciate it

Really glad you're enjoying my app. You're right about the widget, the album artwork should adapt better when you resize it. I'll work on improving that and making the layout adjust properly to different sizes. Thanks for trying my app and for the suggestion, I really appreciate it

Of course there are similar apps, just like there are plenty of alternatives to Musicolet. That doesn't mean people should stop developing new ones. I built my app because I wanted to create something of my own, with features I personally wanted to see. Nobody is asking you to stop using Musicolet if it works well for you. As for disabling streaming, that's a fair suggestion and something I can consider. But streaming and local music playback are both part of what my app is meant to offer. Having more choices is a good thing, isn't it?

That was just an old account I used for testing. I don't think I've done anything particularly serious, but thanks for pointing it out.I respect your opinion, even if I disagree with it. I just don't understand why some people are so quick to judge a project simply because AI was used. If there's something wrong with the code, I'm happy to hear about it and fix it. But I think a project should be judged by how well it works, not just by the tools used to build it

No idea what that's supposed to mean, but thanks for the incredibly useful feedback

Repeating that the code is bad isn't the same as showing what's wrong with it. I've already said I'm happy to look into any specific issues you find. You're free to say whatever you want, of course, but without anything concrete to discuss, there's no point in going back and forth. I'm ending the conversation here

You're welcome to point out specific issues in the code. The project is open source, so anyone can review it. But calling the code bad without explaining what's wrong doesn't really help anyone. If you've found actual problems, feel free to share them. I'm always willing to improve my app based on constructive feedback

Thank you for the kind words and for giving my app a chance. It's refreshing to hear from someone who understands that using AI doesn't mean you can just press a button and have a finished app. There's still a lot of work involved, and I've spent countless hours getting things the way I want them. As for iOS, it's definitely something I'd like to explore in the future, but I'm working on everything alone, so I can't promise anything yet. For now, I'm focusing on Android and Windows. Thanks again for the support, and I'd love to hear your thoughts once you've tried it

You've said the code is bad several times now, but you still haven't pointed out a single actual problem. If you've found something wrong, show me where and I'll gladly look into it. Otherwise, you're just repeating the same claim without anything to back it up. I have no problem with criticism, but it should at least be based on something concrete. I don't think there's much more to discuss here
