Ratings and Reviews
Promising but needs more attention
This product has so much promise but there are two areas which need attention :
1. A clear, simple user guide. For example, it wasn’t clear or obvious how to activate Tidal playback.
2. No gapless playback. This is a deal breaker for me since my preferred genre is classical and many recordings have inserted cueing points within, say, a symphony movement. Without gapless playback the listening experience is impossible.
Until this issue is addressed, I will not be subscribing. A pity because fundamentally it is very good.
Great app with a big flaw
This is a great app and felt at first like the perfect solution to hi-Fi home music, integrating Qobuz with my own library and all from my iPad! It looks and feels nice (agree very like Roon). It works flawlessly to just about all of my end points. However, when I discovered it does not, and cannot be made to play gaplessly to my iPhone or iPad, that is where we part company. Pity as otherwise really good and nearly paid my money.
Sorry but no updated
Ok, tried it again and it’s still useless. Finds my Plex server but just says “error” if I try to do anything. Doesn’t locate my Bluesound streamer at all. It actually costs £43 per year which is not an “in app” purchase though it does offer a 14 day free trial which I used to find out that it could only find my iPad and no other streamer device on the same network. Then, despite pointing it to the NAS folder, it wouldn’t connect and kept going back to “settings”. If I can’t get a simple piece of software to do the simplest thing, it gets dumped. So it has been! Again!!
