## Review summary

Users praise the app's UI and offline design but report reliability issues and feature gaps. The top drawbacks are bugs/crashes, weak metadata handling (especially multi-artist support), limited format support (no WAV) and album art problems, plus lyrics display/sync limitations. Overall sentiment: very favorable UI/UX, but stability and metadata controls need improvement.

### Pros

- Stunning, clean UI/UX that many users praise.
- Easy to use and ad-free experience.
- Strong offline/local listening focus with straightforward playback.

### Cons

- Frequent bugs and crashes, with perceived lack of ongoing development.
- Missing/limited metadata handling (poor multi-artist support and editable artist/song info).
- Limited file-format support and occasional playback issues (no WAV support; some FLAC issues; no gapless playback).
- Album art/cover management problems (bugs causing incorrect art and inability to edit art).
- Lyrics display/sync issues and offline lyric saving limitations.
