## Review summary

Pros: strong DLNA/uPnP, AirPlay 2 and gapless playback, reliable NAS/local streaming, and ease of use. Cons: update-related stability issues, Tidal/renderer compatibility problems, DLNA discovery reliability, and a clunky queue workflow. Overall, widely praised as a leading DLNA player on iOS, but updates have introduced notable reliability and feature frustrations for some users.

### Pros

- Strong DLNA/uPnP support enabling playback to a wide range of devices
- AirPlay 2 support and gapless playback
- Good NAS/local-network streaming compatibility (e.g., Synology, MinimServer) and support for hi-res formats when available
- User-friendly and straightforward to use, with broad device compatibility and easy access to sources
- Regarded as one of the best DLNA players on iOS by many users

### Cons

- Stability issues after updates: crashes, freezing, or playback dropouts and even iPadOS 16.4.1 crashes
- Tidal and renderer compatibility problems: Tidal not working with some renderers and sign-in/verification issues
- Unreliable UPnP/DLNA discovery: servers sometimes do not appear consistently in the browser
- Cumbersome queue/playlist management: no add-to-queue from the playing screen, few queue controls, and no drag-reorder
- Hi-res playback can stutter or pause (higher resolution files cause longer delays) and some features removed or broken in updates
