Review summary

Squeeze Ctrl is widely praised for its robust, feature-rich control of Logitech Media Server and Squeezebox devices, earning long-term user loyalty and exceptional support. Users appreciate its polished interface and added functionalities like Wake-on-LAN. However, some common issues include crashes and connectivity problems after updates, challenges with background permissions on Android, and casting errors with Chromecast. Minor usability complaints involve playlist management quirks and missing artwork display for internet radio. Despite these, its reliability and ongoing development make it a top choice for controlling Squeezebox environments.

Cons

Occasional bugs and crashes reported after updates, affecting connectivity and usability.
Issues with background operation permissions on some Android devices, requiring manual battery optimization settings.
Problems with casting to Chromecast devices, resulting in errors and failed attempts.
Some erratic behavior when rearranging playlists, causing mismatched song playback order.

2024-06-25	an*****	Really excellent app.! Well made, polished and flexible. Volume issues resolved with phone update. The biggest differences to other apps is that adding tracks to playlists, getting info for tracks etc is all accessible and finished. All other apps glitched. Programmed to allow customisation. Worth every penny/cent. I wish I'd purchased this sooner. The support is equally top notch. You have to really search hard to find room for improvement and it exists but it's so close to perfection!

2022-11-06	Ga*****	Best Squeezebox control app. I have one issue: if I want to have the widget set to "always connect" mode, the app takes me to the android battery settings where I need to give the app permission to run in the background. I can see all my installed apps in that list, but no Squeeze Ctrl. What am I doing wrong?
