  1. 4/5Really nice app. Could use some tuning

    First off, I really like this app and recommend it highly. My library is around 50K songs and it handles it well. Nice interface. Buffers nicely for road trips. Would like to see three things fixed and one new feature. In ID3 tag browsing, Please fix the number of albums listed for each artist as well as the number of songs for each album. Also, when browsing artists by letter, the application hangs. Please add the ability to sort by album artist. Nice work!

  2. 5/5The Essential Subsonic App

    I originally purchased this app a few years ago and watching it grow to become such a fantastic client for my music has been a wonderful experience. Features are added as consistently as bugs are fixed and with a striving for smoothness and consistency in the interface. Without this app there is a good chance I would have given up on my Subsonic setup before it could have realized its potential. I rarely go out of my way to review an app but when I saw that after all the effort and dedication put in by the developer it only had 3.8 stars I made it a point to profess my appreciation for everything that they’ve done. If you’re looking for an iOS Subsonic client you can end your search here. I look forward to continuing to watch this app grow as I expand my musical horizons.

  3. 3/5Car play works! But has issues

    Very glad that car play finally works. However it seems to get stuck at the end of every track, I have to manually go to the next track. More importantly, all of my playlists are empty when using car play, I have to start the playlists on my phone because that’s the only place they will show up

  4. 1/5Very buggy

    Want to stop what you are listening to in order to talk with someone. Well you will have to look at where you are in whatever because chances are good it wont start playing again. Oh it says it is playing but there is no sounds. You have to completely close the app the. Reopen and go find the place you were manually and start again. Want to listen to the latest episode of a podcast? Nope it will say you are listening to that latests episode but it will actually be from a month ago. Such a frustrating app to use i wish i never bought

  5. 1/5Lacking playlist support and Apple Watch sync buggy

    1. No intuitive way to edit playlist. You can add songs only to “active” playlist which means no way to build multiple playlists at the same time. 2. No way to play playlist in offline mode. Tapping playlists button starts server connection, tapping cache does not list playlists. How do I play my playlist when offline? 3. Syncing 55 songs playlist to Apple Watch took me couple hours. The process seems to be breaking and getting stuck on transcoding or watch sync status. It goes well for couple of songs then I have to restart it.
