Ratings and reviews

Instead of waiting a few seconds to allow the connection to start and to buffer, it skips songs if it catches up with the stream. Once a song finishes downloading it restarts playing it. Goes to the next song before the previous has finished when it's in this state, and it takes a lot of fiddling with playback controls to convince it to just play the album without skipping around.

This is utterly broken. The webapp works fine, but the phone app hasn't had proper maintenance in years. As a result, a recent Android update has officially and finally broken this app, causing load times to go from practically instant to nearly 30 seconds just to open an album. It *technically* still works, but is so completely ineffective and slow that it's actually faster to just look up my music on YouTube, watch an ad, and listen to it there.

For me, this is still the best subsonic client for Android. Clean and simple; I've tried all of them, but somehow I prefer this one. Unfortunately, the remote control (Jukebox) feature is missing from the other clients. This one has it, but it contains a bug that I guess can be easily fixed: the jukeboxControl supports only 8 tracks. Please fix this bug!
