## Review summary

Users praise mconnect Control for working well with high-end DACs and streaming services like Tidal. However, many reviews report frequent app crashes and freezing, playback glitches where tracks skip prematurely or have gaps, and device recognition failures especially with Mytek Brooklyn Bridge. Users also note poor gapless playback, the app not remembering last playback state or device, and UI problems such as dangerous volume control and poor intuitiveness. Overall, while the app has potential, stability and usability issues significantly impact user experience.

### Pros

- Works well with certain high-end DACs like PS Audio and Gato Audio when stable.
- Provides integration with streaming services such as Tidal and supports features like MQA playback on compatible devices.
- Supports use with Chromecast and generic DLNA devices (though limited for certain versions).

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and freezes reported by multiple users on both Android and iOS.
- Playback issues including skipping to next track before finishing current song and gaps between tracks, spoiling listening experience.
- Recognition problems with specific devices like Mytek Brooklyn Bridge, sometimes failing to detect connected USB sticks or the device itself.
- Lack of proper gapless playback and inability to remember playback state or last device, causing inconvenience.
- User interface issues like volume control allowing unintended full-scale volume, lack of intuitive design, and the app running persistently in background, draining battery.
