Ratings and reviews

And downgraded again. Smart downloads pretty useless. On a flight and message that can't play as offline! Previously: Brilliant app. I can finally access my ripped files and my Qobuz files in one place, with one interface, anywhere. Would love to have the ability to download more Qobuz albums offline but rekindled my use of Roon. Well done.

Can't search or browse by artists in offline mode, just browse a bunch of albums. This is very annoying when I am flying a lot and want to change what I'm listening too mid-air. Android Auto part of this app won't let you even search at all, this is really annoying. There's no way this should be behind a "safety" feature either as by passenger often takes care of the music when I'm driving. It's just stupid that a search does not exists. This pricey luxury should have these things included.

App has been working great for a long time now, until last week! Now I can only play a couple of songs from an album before I get a 'core unreachable' error. Been able to fix this in the past by clearing cache, clearing data, reinstalling app, checking & resetting port forwarding. What else could I be missing? My chief request, other than the fix to above, is to be able to transfer to and from Roon zones. It would be great to be able continue listening to a album or Playlist when I leave.
