Hard to learn ... AT FIRST! But, if you take the time to learn it, it's really worth it. Unusual UI makes it more difficult to master. Once you understand how it's setup, then you'll love it. Great at displaying lyrics ( SYLT or USLT). Nice work on displaying Art Covers as well as the lyrics. Scrolls even unsynchronized lyrics through a smart algorithm Not perfect but certainly better than no scrolling). Give it a try mainly if you enjoy lyrics with your music.

When there was a previous installation of v.3.xx, then v.4.xx does not function correctly. V.4.0.x: 1. App do not synchronize lyrics during playback. V.3.9.6: 1. App randomly stops playing over Bluetooth. 2. How can I force Medoly to rescan Media Storage? New songs (newly added to the file system) do not shows up in the songs list (choosing songs by Storage; other tabs do not works too). 3. How can I reload Playlist's list? It do not renew automatically at all and shows nonexistent items.

Can't figure out how to open without going into a file explorer, long pressing the mp3, and selecting "open with". Shouldn't a way to select the mp3 be built into app? Beyond that annoyance it otherwise works fine.
