Reviews
No sound
Not so fast
Trying to get away from using plex so I Had high hope for this app and wouldn't mind to spend the money to buy it but unfortunately this app plays some of the movies and some will only have video but no sound......shame.....maybe will give it a try later once they fix the issue.
It works really well!

Sound quality is good and it's fast! Much better than others we downloaded and tried
Doesn't recognize DLNA/UPnP media server

I am able to see my DLNA/UPnP media server from other clients, but this app will not see it.
Crapware

Allowed me to play one file before telling me I had to pay $6 for the full version to play a 2nd file.
Compelling Interface, BUT...
David Diemer
While the I interface is super-easy to use, I was not permitted to play a single file from my UPnP server, not one. As soon as I selected a file, I got a popup telling me this version would only play one file and then I'd have to upgrade it. I selected Okay but the video wouldn't play! What a waste of time. I must say though that the interface is beautifully programmed.
