Hey everyone!

A lot of you may be wondering about the inactivity and no updates on the app since a long time.
This is because the team no longer has the time to work on the app.

We would like to extend our gratitude to Prathamesh More (@quickersilver) for working on the app for over a year and giving you the current face of Retro Music Player, which would have not been possible without him.

Now, we're looking for your support, we need Android developers who can contribute to Retro Music Player and keep the development running. If you know someone, or are an Android developer yourself who would like to keep this project alive, please DM @Daksh777 for further instructions.

Note that Kotlin and Java are an absolute must to be able to contribute to Retro Music Player


Thank you so much!

Hello everyone!

Just a quick update on the current state of the app:

We are still looking for active maintainers for the app who can keep the development running.
Without contributors, the app shall remain discontinued and would not receive any updates.

So, please share this to your developer friends, telegram groups, etc. or if you are a developer yourself, please help us to maintain the app and keep it running.
Any help towards the development of the app would be highly appreciated! :)
(Tech Stack: Kotlin, Java)

If you are interested in being a maintainer, please DM @Daksh777 on Telegram or @0xDPJ on Twitter
