Ratings and reviews

Great app! I've been using it for years now. Bought it straight away years ago. One concern tho is lately I've bought a one plus 15 and bubble heats the phone up like crazy if the app is unrestricted, and the server is on in the settings, and it uses crazy battery life. Devs you might want to check it out what's happening under these conditions. I always have to force quit it after use, because it uses endless resources. (it should be a bug somewhere, maybe an endless loop or a racecon)

This is a fantastic app. I've been using it for years. I exclusively use it for playing music from my server to my renderer and it's flawless. The one and only thing I would suggest, is it possible to playback to one renderer (eg. Eversolo A6) but control the volume of a separate network connected amplifier /receiver, I'm sure it used to do this, I could be wrong. Otherwise perfect. Thank you.

After many years of using this app to play music, mostly on a bt speaker, I finally give up. The energy consumption seems out of the world. Both my phones (S25U, X15U) are heating up like there is no tomorrow. This only happens when using bubbleupnp for playback. I loved this app for its usability, but this problem is so severe and just won't be fixed. I'm gonna try it again in a year or so.
