Ratings and Reviews
Great app for plex music users
Hey I am testing the app with plex music and I’m impressed so far with how easy it was to set up. I like how there app remembers my filter / view and any sorting by date added. One small issue I noticed is when you play a song which isn’t first in the list then you can’t press rewind to go to the previous song. You can go forward then backward though (but not back past the song you started on). Thank you so much and great work! Also the dark theme is nice.
It just works
Running a Plex server on a NAS and accessing music remotely using this app on my phone has been a pretty smooth experience so far. At least as effective as the plex iOS music app but not requiring the plex pass, it’s an extremely cost-effective option for those wanting access to their music library on the go. Indexing went perfectly, not a single track missed out, and shuffle works smoothly. Can easily switch between itunes library and NAS library too. The occasional pause as the caching catches up after pausing playback is the only niggle. Highly recommended.
Edited review to reflect problems that appear to have gotten worse over time. Audio stops when the phone is apparently triangulating position or getting data from new mast. Occasionally the play button becomes unresponsive while the skip forward and back still work. The queue function occasionally malfunctions and playback stops after each song requiring a manual skip forward.
When this app works properly it’s great, it just doesn’t work properly all the time.
Great music app
With stunning Plex and iOS Music integration. Breath of fresh air.
I switched to this and Plex because of the issues I was facing syncing Apple Music to my device and the lack of any control of the downloads. This works flawlessly in that regard. It also displays track ratings in list views making it easy to find your favourite tracks. UI is smooth and flawless. I wish Apple’s player was more like this. Also supports and sends out 24bit 192khz FLAC to my DAC, something the Plex client doesn’t do.
