Ratings and reviews

Works, but unusable for streaming, at least for Qobuz. You can't use added favorites. It keeps the first tried album and always shows it when you try to use favorites. Nothing helps - queue cleaning, app install on other device, favorites replacement etc. Another issue is search in Qobuz stucks with first try and regardless of the search modification or filter cleaning it doesn't allow to search. And from search results you are again getting the first tried album. Please fix it.

Has a few nice features, but is a bug fest. Crashes frequently, puts the wrong album art on the songs, often loses connection to the dac. Considering the dac cost 3k, this app is a serious disappointment.

Quick experience (samsung s20 ultra) - using using element M - app is striaght forward and is rather intuitive only issue is continuously playing music. Click play all on an album no problem, click a track and then hit next doesn't work. This is addressed on their support page. Haven't tried with Apple iPad as of yet. App won't save favorites either. Brought over all tidal playlists and tracks but won't recognize mqa unless revisited in the ma app. Sound on the element is incredible!!!
