Ratings and reviews

Music and movies on the go. Much better than Plex for countless reasons. If you seek an alternative search no more. Servers go down for no reason happens more than it should. No support what soever. Forums are not a good source for real support either especially for pro membership support. There also is no real time server health status , leaving you guessing. I reboot remotely my modem , router, NAS and phone and when that doesn't help I know subsonic servers are messing up!!

Instead of waiting a few seconds to allow the connection to start and to buffer, it skips songs if it catches up with the stream. Once a song finishes downloading it restarts playing it. Goes to the next song before the previous has finished when it's in this state, and it takes a lot of fiddling with playback controls to convince it to just play the album without skipping around.

UPDATE: this app has problems saving playlists. i like a lot about it but it fails on many cases that are deal breakers. i switched to ultrasonic as my new android app for Subsonic. Get it from github (search android ultrasonic) in releases. || Original review: This is my go-to app for music streaming from my home... There are other options but it is robust and the home hosting is great.
