User Reviews

Users like the DS audio app when it works, notably for casting and NAS playback. However, recurring issues across reviews include frequent login expirations, unreliable playback (skips, silences, stuttering, volume changes), casting problems, outdated/unsupported app on newer Androids, and weak search/sorting features (plus no dark mode). Overall, the concept is strong, but ongoing maintenance and reliability improvements are needed for consistent, enjoyable use.

Pros

Casting to Chromecast and other devices is supported and often praised
Ability to play music from a NAS/server on the local network
Reliable operation when set up with a good network, highlighting the app's potential

Cons

Frequent login/session expiration or being signed out and authentication issues
Widespread playback reliability problems (random skips, silent playback, stuttering, volume spikes, and gapless issues)
Casting reliability problems (inconsistent Chromecast behavior or inability to cast)
Lack of updates/maintenance and compatibility issues with newer Android versions
Poor search and library sorting (difficult to find songs, weak sorting options, no dark mode)
