User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's rich features, modern UI, offline playback, and casting support, with praise for developer responsiveness. However, common issues include frequent crashes, unstable downloads, poor Bluetooth control support, problematic notifications, and album art loading failures. Playlist limitations and missing AndroidAuto integration were also noted. Despite flaws, the app is favored for its functionalities and ongoing improvements.

Pros

Feature-rich streaming app with playlist creation and updates.
Supports offline music downloading and management with space clearing capability.
Chromecast and casting support works well.
Modern, clean, and intuitive user interface compared to alternatives.
Developer responsiveness and ongoing updates appreciated by users.

Cons

Frequent app crashes and instability during downloads.
Lack of consistent Bluetooth control support, including inability to skip/pause via Bluetooth on multiple devices.
Notification and background playback issues like persistent notifications and unresponsive controls requiring app restart.
Album art loading and caching problems leading to missing or broken images.
Limited playlist size and lack of shuffle for entire music library causing user inconvenience.

Recent reviews

It crashes quite often and has no nice way to continuously toggle random (in the way that most players do it) The player UI feels cluttered and downloads always feel super unstable. I wish it would actually keep the download queue between sessions so i can close the app now and continue downloading later, buf instead I have to readd all the stuff i was downloading.

Very usable streaming app with plenty of features. I like that I can create and update playlists from the app. I appreciate the management of offline resources and the ability to clear space from the app itself. Problems: No gapless streaming. The 3-dot buttons everywhere are too small. Album art sometimes disappears. I can't always remove a song from a playlist. Sometimes music is playing, but the play-progress-bar is frozen. I have to refresh playlists from playlist menu and inside playlist.
