Ratings and reviews

The audio quality on my XM4 earbuds or my KZ IEM'S are absolutely bonkers. The transfer of music or how to navigate this app is extremely rough. Definitely took a minute to get the audio settings right, but worth it. I just with the library transfer from Qobuz was better. Songs on my track list on the main app are there and available. In this app the tracks list is capped at 2000. The tracks are in the app in other places. No track skipping unless you shuffle. Otherwise it starts a new playlist

App works great. Allows all my audio files to play (tried other servers and they always skipped certain audios). Only issue I have is that I bought a new phone, and I no longer have the option to exclude certain folders like I could on the old one. There are some audios, such as ASMR, that I do not want to blast on my TV. As an alternative, I've tried putting .nomedia files in the folders I don't want to play and hiding those folders, but the app still pulls the files from those folders.

app doesn't work about 80% of the time, will not cast, if left on pause for more than a minute, it will lose playback, sometimes it freezes but most of the time doesn't even connect properly, I have the paid version and reached out to support and they tried to blame my wifi network, phone and/or modem even though I do not have any problems or errors when casting from ANY other app or streaming platforms. I do not recommend unless you want to spend 15 minutes trying to get it to work each time
