Probably a 3.5 in reality. Lots of silly little annoying things that could easily be fixed. So close to being great. Sound quality however is fabulous…a solid 5+ compared to Roon. Can’t wait for a big update

I started using Sense v. 3.1.1 about 2 months ago with a ZEN Mini Mk3 SSD and am thrilled. Sound quality is great, same goes for the app's performance (speed and stability) on the iOS app and browser app via my Macbook Air.The Search tool is outstanding. It sees my local library of ripped CDs as well as the millions of titles on Qobuz. (Tidal integration is offered too.) Search results are accurate, displayed instantly, and logically grouped, making it easy to find a specific artist, album, track, etc. Classical music filters and navigation could be more comprehensive, but all platforms struggle with this genre.Other streaming / playback features include Playlists, Internet Radio stations, and Podcasts — all which I seldom use but are nice to have.Sense manages Backups (to USB or NAS) which is key, and it just works. Sonos and UPnP integration are options too but I have no experience with these.Innuos provides excellent customer support and product support. Their technical support via email quickly solved an initial setup glitch (which I caused by error.) They maintain an active Community Forum for product news, bug reporting, etc. They also have a product roadmap called Feedback Zone that tracks feature requests and ongoing development.So far, I’m delighted and happy to rate it 5/5 stars.

I own a hifi shop, so I’m constantly flitting between apps, comparing and struggling with over rich or poorly designed UI’s - as rarely are hifi companies also great at ginning up excellent, intuitive software.From that standpoint, I rank everything within the context of “Apps for things that stream music”, and in that context, I really like Sense best. It’s fairly new, and not perfect by any means - but Innuos has been responsive with updates, and everything makes sense in terms of layout.For a freshly released control app, it’s the best I’ve seen to date since streaming came on the scene, and I’m able to use it everyday without frustration or hitching. I’m very much looking forward to future updates as the roadmap for how Sense can be used seems pretty promising.

Innuos Sense is a pleasure to use. The interface gives fast and precise access to locally stored as well as streamed music in a well integrated library with powerful search and browsing capabilities. The app also provides information on artists and music. It is also regularly and frequently updated with additional features based on user requests. The only area still needing improvement is the management of classical music: show clearly composer of playing track, grouping of works, display, search and browsing by conductor… Hopefully this will come soon
