About Music VU Visualizer Widgets
Music VU gives you beautiful and dynamic level, wave, and spectrum displays for your music, right on your home screen. Works with any music player on your phone or tablet (with some Android-imposed limitations on newer devices, see below). You can place a variety of meter and visualizer widgets anywhere on your home screen. Change colors, mix them up, resize/enlarge, or use more than one side-by-side for greater impact.
All segmented meters feature classic digital styling and a high-resolution first meter segment. In addition, specialty spectrum analyzer and waveform displays give you unique ways to visualize your music. Premium spectrum and waveform displays are free for a 7 day trial period (level meters are always free).
To find the visualizer widgets go into your apps list “Widgets” section and look for “Music VU”. On some devices long-press an empty part of your home screen to access widgets. To make widgets big, long-press and resize in both directions.
Note: This is an advanced widget app which uses special techniques to update quickly. Due to limitations in the way Android widgets work you should have a fairly fast phone or tablet for good performance. You may still notice irregular or slow updates. Avoid using more than 5 or 6 visualizer widgets at the same time. To minimize CPU and battery usage Music VU is not active unless your screen is on and music is playing.
Note: There's a bug in some Samsung Galaxy and several Nexus models which breaks visualizers, including Music VU. Visualizers may not work with some music players on newer phones due to bugs in their audio firmware. We are working on possible fixes -- for now a different player may work, try Google Play Music, or connect a Bluetooth speaker/headset. If you have any problems, for example your combination of Android device and music player doesn't work, please email support at musicvu@georgielabs.net. We'll try to help resolve your problem.
For more information including descriptions of each meter/visualizer and app preferences see the Music VU help page: http://georgielabs.net/MusicVUHelp.html

It's great. A few annoyances including the fact that background transparency doesn't take into effect until music starts playing (after reboot) and that sometimes the widget freezes when I pause music with my phone sleeping.

The equalizer widget reminds me of our mini component stereo system back in the 90s. Great work. Hope you can make improvements it lags a lot.

I love this. My phone looks fresh AF with this. However, the widgets are in a low resolution and a few specific VUs refuse to work. - on Google Pixel 2 XL

It's good when it works, when it's not been used for a day or two it just seems to stop working and either have to restart phone or reinstall app to get it to work again. Fix this and I'll change to 5*

Low frame rate, can't stretch widgets from one side to the other, they have padding on all sides.

It doesn't work properly. If it had it would have been a really awesome widget. The visualizer starts halfway into the music and sometimes just doesn't start at all..the start and stop just ain't right

I really love this app. Its so cool. I just have 1 request. Could you add (Flipped / Inverted) versions of each widget? And maybe you could add an option to add a visualizer on the lock screen? That would be cool. Thanks! :)

A regular left side/right side (stereo) VU METER PLEASE! Also please make sure needle is ACCURATE! This sensitivity is needed when playing music and audio files. Thanks! 》The horizontal meter with the numbers need work because the red bars go outside of the widget's border. ..Otherwise pretty good but could really use some vu meter options.

I love this. My phone looks fresh AF with this. However, there is a huge lack of support for this app and needs to be fixed. Phones that have their CPU clocked below 730mhz will have the widget stop working or experience major lag. I tested this with No-Frills CPU Controller. I have a Galaxy Note 4 that sits at around 450-780MHz idle (to save battery) and I experience many issues. Please try to make a way for this app to run smoothly on slower devices. Thank you.

Has the potential to be epic, but unfortunately I have to delete then reinstall the widget everytime I want it to work, please fix this then you'll get 5 stars.

It still works on my phone. But now your application, on my tablet, treats me like a leper. Widgets are loaded but do nothing. In the store likewise, I'm treated like a disease contaminated leper. I mean I did pay for it...
