Ratings and reviews

Most functions work great however there is major pain point for the app rather than using a web browser, if there is some disturbance in a connection between the client and your server, it will completely close out of the connection, yet still be playing the music you had loaded. But the controls for the song thats playing is gone when this happens and you must close the app and relaunch it, then go back to your music tab and start a new playlist. The app needs to handle network changes better.

My favorite open source project. But the app has an aggravating flaw. When using from locations with bad connection, the client will send you back to the server selection screen, even if you've pre-buffered part of the content. To resolve, you need to connect again, and rebuffer the same media. On limited plans, or when paying by the gigabyte, it can become very expensive to use the app in areas with spotty coverage. Also no way to DL lower quality media for offline playback in similar scenarios

Edited to 5 stars. Thanks to the team for letting me know how to set up picture in picture mode! Thank you! I would give it 5 stars if I could use this in "windowed" mode. The Hulu app does this feature well, and I think it's a very nice feature to have. I believe the iPhone version did this when using the native player? Not sure. Excellent app, keep up the great work everyone!
