Ratings and reviews

The app is working great so far. However, I notice when it caches songs that it displays a pinned icon next to it, I cached some songs, and after its done, and I go back to look at the song the pinned icon is gone, so I am assuming the song is still cached regardless. I also noticed that sometimes the text gets doubled up, and displayed over text, so I have to close, and restart the app to fix it. As far as android auto it works good there, and sounds good. However, the app does not display the playlists on my touch screen stereo, and I do not have a away to shuffle the songs, so if those two can be added to the app that would be great.

Great app, when it works. For some reason, starting a week or 2 ago, every song I play will randomly stop after a minute or 2. Not sure why. Possible that the latest Android security update hosed something. My subsonic server hasn't changed and plays songs just fine on a different client on my iPad. Hopefully this app hasn't been abandoned because it really is the best there is for Subsonic and Android.

For the most part, DSub has been pretty solid. I use it to connect to my Subsonic server. There are some items I'd like to see addressed in a future update: 1. Append an album or artist to the current playlist/queue. I can 'select' an album but when I use the upper right menu, add to playlist doesn't work. Says no songs selected. 2. View library statistics (i.e. number of tracks, albums, artists, genres, etc.) 3. Stability. I've occasionally experienced crashes when first firing up the app.
