User Reviews

Users praise the Android app for being generally stable and competitive, especially vs Plex, and for working well with local servers and Movies/TV/Music libraries. However, frequent crashes during playback, buffering and audio dropouts, and server/connection problems frequently frustrate users. Offline download is limited, and library indexing/search issues persist. Recent updates have improved stability, but many users still report device-specific quirks and UI gaps that affect usability.
Pros
  • Better/stabler than Plex (widely praised)
  • Works well with local/private servers
  • Good support for Movies/TV/Music content
  • Recent updates have improved stability and usability
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and playback instability (videos/music)
  • Buffering and audio issues (e.g., TrueHD, dropouts) across devices
  • Server/connection issues and difficulty re-adding servers or staying connected
  • Can't download videos to device / offline functionality limitations
  • Library indexing/search issues and media mislabeling/not seeing shows
