Ratings and reviews

Folder viewer in library (not the files view) is a critical one for me as the library is on NAS not mapped to a drive. I do not get to see this in free version. I am able to view that from Foobar on desktop as well as competitors apps. Since I first tried this App and liked every other feature I wanted to buy it help the developer, however, the developer is non-responsive. Tried contacting him by email, community connect... App isn't updated since 2016 so don't know is he still active?

I am now smarter and lazier. After following that simple tutorial, I can now remotely: View my foo playlists, view which song is playing in real time, scrub through the song, and REMOTELY CONTROL FOO WITH THE NOTIFICATION WIDGET!! This is great for gaming as I now don't need to switch windows to change playlists! I love being a nerd and fiddling with stuff like this. *evil laugh* Also the user interface is snappy and thoughtfully designed 🦊

Great app everything is smooth even at realtime refresh rate. Though I do hope they have support for widescreen (ie. 18.5:9 etc) and a more minimal UI. Current UI is a bit cluttered. Though seeing the last update is on 2016 I doubt it's gonna change.

What's new

Solved issues:
- Improved a bit the accessibility of the app for people using TalkBack (Thanks Juan Antonio Fuentes for reporting the problem).
