★★★★ Na Cl 3/8/2025 v2.0.0
Can't open artist, album or anything. Basically useless. Switch to squeezer it's free and works
★★★★ Richard Estrada-Stone 7/28/2023 v2.2.6
Doesn't actually control my LMS. Constantly can't find a playlist that I can access via browser
★★★★ Cantankerous Yankee 4/5/2022 v1.6.8
Doesn't actually do anything except warn me about notifications that never materialized. (Galaxy watch 4 classic)
★★★★ Cristian Darie 9/19/2021 v2.2.6
Shuts down immediately on startup.
★★★★ Paul Davison 6/21/2021 v2.2.1
latest update means it won't connect to server. please revert to previous version. have switched to squeezer
★★★★ Nick Perry 6/20/2021 v2.2.1
After the latest upgrade the app is now totally useless as it now won't connect to the LMS server. Please could you fix this.
★★★★ David Stanton 6/19/2021 v2.2.1
I have used this app for a few years and liked it very much. But the latest update has renered it unless. It now crashes on opening or if it opens, it can't connect to the server. Uninstall and reinstall does not help. If they fix this I will revise my review.
★★★★ Another Day 9/20/2020 v2.1.7
Clearing the playlist should be simple, not sure why but sometimes an track is highlighted and the option to remove the track replaces the clear, removing it also highlights the next track...
★★★★ Toonie Ayling 8/20/2020
It didn't work properly. Under Album Artist I could browse all of the artists on my server, but whenever I selected one, there were no Albums shown. The server is fine, and works with other controllers. In response to angryGoat: Many thanks for getting back to me... However I am sure the server is fine, in that each and every other remote control app I have tried works fine in this regard. Am not testing it again as I won't be able to get a second refund if it continues not to work.
★★★★ Fintan Swanton 7/15/2020 v2.1.7
Useless. Cannot reconfigure Squeezebox network settings.
★★★★ A Google user 1/27/2019
Tidal app installs but shortcut not visible in My Apps....(Galaxy S6)
★★★★★ A Google user 9/15/2021
Not for big libraries
★★★★★ Calvin Nichols 6/23/2021 v2.2.1
Used this app for years not now. After the app was updated to 2.2.1 it will no longer start, running on Android 11
★★★★★ A Google user 12/6/2019 v2.1.6
Not great at finding either of my squeezebox servers. Nice interface.
★★★★★ A Google user 7/9/2019 v2.1.5
good
★★★★★ A Google user 9/4/2018 v2.0.7
Needs Like & Dislike buttons on main screen. .. Why does the elapsed/remaining indicator keep disappearing?..Why does it lose the "Now Playing" every time the user jumps to another app and the returns? This is really basic UI stuff.
