Description
Breakthrough DTS Play-Fi(R) technology powers simple, great-sounding whole-home wireless audio systems for smartphones and tablets. You can stream your favorite tunes over Wi-Fi right from the Play-Fi app to speakers from DTS Play-Fi product partners. It's a huge step up from Bluetooth - the audio quality and reliability are outstanding, and you can enjoy music from your phone in one room, or all your rooms.
The "Hi-Fi over Wi-Fi" listening experience is just a touch away, thanks to this handy app. Choose a speaker, choose a song, and your favorite tunes are streaming all through the house.
The app offers built-in streaming options: stream from worldwide music services; use AM/FM and Internet radio, connect to DLNA servers, or play anything from your device's music library, including your iTunes playlists. The app automatically organizes and indexes the music for you.
The app also handles set-up for your speakers, and gives you full control of volume and speaker selection. Choose one, set up speaker groups, or stream to all of them at once. Manage speaker groups for Spotify Connect, too.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have a Play-Fi product from Polk Audio, Definitive Technology or Phorus, please search for and download the custom Play-Fi app for your audio brand.
Please also note that the Play-Fi app is companion software to audio products enabled with Play-Fi technology. It is not intended as a stand-alone audio player.

Ratings and Reviews
Great app which has two problems!
This is a great app that lets you switch between sources easily. It only has throw problems.
1) I use an iPad and when you multitask to any news item that includes a video the iPad drops out of the music it is playing to play the video without sound and vision.
2) the source resets after being paused, such that you have to go back in to the app and reload the source and and album and track again!
Otherwise it’s a great app.
Buggy
Update. So my initial review still stands however I have become used to the issues and just work around them. However I now use an old iPad connected via BT to the Quad or with the Play-Fi app as a sort of fancy remote and that works great.
Original review:- Use this app with my Quad Vena 2 play and often will not connect. Every time you switch between devices - for example from iPad to iPhone you have to reset. When it’s working and not causing grief it’s fine. Also unable to use with iMac as a server - dealer told me to download Linn Kazoo and whilst that actually works and can see my iMac I’m unable to play any content. To say the app is frustrating is an understatement but I try and workaround the issues. End up using Bluetooth too often.
If it worked it would be brilliant...
...But it doesn’t. Some examples of how shoddily built it is are the constant distortion on songs while album art is loading in the background, or the fact that an incoming call causes it to wipe out entirely and lose the play queue, or maybe the 30 seconds needed to change most of the songs is what sends you over the edge with it. For me, all of these reasons and more got to me.
As someone who works in app development I can say with some authority that the entire team responsible for this junk needs to be replaced immediately - from project manager to developer.
The only way to demonstrate how bad it is would be for you to download it and see if you have any patience left after a week.
