Summary

Roadmap

v3.00
Next update for v3.00 that has been released not so long time ago, will include a new skin chooser dialog like it implemented in version for Windows.

v3.10
Next minor update will be focused to usability of favorites and bookmarks (both for manually created and for automatically created). Additionally, we want to implement an ability (optional, of course) to create bookmarks automatically for each track like in video players.

v3.20
According to survey results, clouds support will be a next feature to implement.

v3.50
According to survey results, again, next feature to implement is tag editing feature. We will implement simple version of tag editor that will allow to edit general tag fields including album art and lyrics tag fields.

v4.00
The fourth-generation of mobile player will be focused to music library. According to survey results and feedback from users, old-school approach is not useful for most people, additionally, some people completely misunderstand this approach.

Conclusion

Note that the roadmap is not final and may be corrected and extended during development or by external factors. Who knows what breaking changes will be introduced in Android 11?
