## Review summary

The app is lauded for authentic hi‑res playback, real‑time EQ, offline CarPlay use, and broad format support. Recurring downsides include paywalls/ads after purchase, DSD limitations on newer iPhones, language barriers in support, stability issues after updates, and several UI/UX glitches.

### Pros

- Exceptional hi‑res playback (192kHz/24‑bit) with real‑time EQ sliders to tweak sound.
- Excellent sound quality with external DACs (e.g., Fiio K11, Chord Mojo) and flexible hardware integration.
- Nice interface and reliable CarPlay compatibility; great offline playback.
- Supports a wide range of formats (FLAC, DSF, etc.) and local library playback.
- Often cited as the best option for hi‑res playback on iPhone.

### Cons

- Paywall and ads reintroduced after purchase; multiple users report needing to pay again or seeing ads.
- DSD playback not working on newer iPhone models (USB-C/Thunderbolt) and native DSD support is incomplete.
- Language barriers: support and documentation are largely in Japanese, with limited English assistance.
- Stability issues after updates (crashes on launch, missing songs, Apple Music sync problems).
- UI/UX glitches such as shuffle jumping, no auto-scroll to the currently playing track, and missing landscape mode.
