Ratings and reviews

The new version feature is that it won't start unless you give location permissions. A NEAR USELESS APP BECOMES OBTRUSIVE! AVOID! Reverting to previous version! Original review(that hasn't changed) Basic functionality of this app could be improved with the addition of just a few more functions. It would be so helpful to be able to tag multiple songs and folders to build a playlist rather than having to add each song one by one. The ability to play a folder or album instead of having to add each song to the queue would be the single best improvement for this app. Appending a song to the play queue instead of pre-pending it would be nice. As far as the skipping and choppy playback is concerned, my tests indicate that the multi room Wi-Fi amps communicate with each other over Wi-Fi even if they are all plugged in to Ethernet. If there is Wi-Fi interference or signal issues, some amps will drop out until the signal returns. This amp has potential but the inconsistencies in the solution have mostly just frustrated my family.

So I had previously rated 3 stars, but I am upping my rating to 5. I am running 7 pucks (6 hardwired, 1 wifi) and no major issues. Do I occasionally have to reboot. Yes a process I simplified by plugging them all into a single strip. I heart is now full version. Plays flac with no issues from my nas. We have subscribed to Spotify premium forever, so it integrates well with us. It would be nice to have Pandora and/or Amazon music. Imo, for price, tough to beat.

For those of you with problems - the Hi-Fly system needs your WiFi configuration to do client-to-client forwarding. I needed to build a separate virtual WiFi SSID just for Hi-Fly but it seems to work well. Where the app is majorly falling down is that I cannot logon to any streaming service, no Tidal, no iHeart Radio. Possibly the other services work but I don't have a logon. Obviously this is why I've rated at 2 stars. Please developers, fix this. It doesn't matter if it works on your device.
