## Review summary

Users largely praise HiByMusic for its visuals and solid local playback, and praise easy HiBy device pairing. However, repeated complaints center on CarPlay removal, messy sorting/organization, persistent iOS compatibility problems, clunky UI/UX, and FLAC import/scanning issues. These recurring points dominate sentiment, with the positives mainly around aesthetics and local-file use, and the negatives focused on platform compatibility and navigation flaws.

### Pros

- Visually appealing UI / attractive design, noted by multiple users.
- Solid local playback support for local files (including FLAC) via the web interface.
- Easy/quick connection to HiBy hardware (e.g., Hugo 2).

### Cons

- CarPlay support is missing or removed in updates, a common point of frustration.
- Poor sorting and album/artist organization (grouping by album artist, album order, and A-Z navigation often problematic).
- Significant iOS compatibility issues (difficulty importing Apple Music, CarPlay glitches, iOS-specific crashes/limitations).
- General UI/UX/navigation problems (clunky feel, non-intuitive controls, inconsistent folder/list ordering).
- FLAC scanning/import issues (inability to scan or import FLAC files reliably).
