The only app!!!

Among dozens of video players available, this is just the one playing all files right! Picture, sound, subs all good. Has been using this app for 5 years. Just transfer movies over iTunes. It supports all popular file formats! Amazing!
Below average performance

This app frequently loses contact with the server, and there does not appear to be any way to fix that. There are also several file types that it cannot play. Finally, updates are relatively rare, and it looks like the improvement of this app has largely been abandoned by the developer. Best possible improvement would be the addition of chrome cast
great app

I've been very happy with this app. Simple way to stream video from my miniDLNA server. One request though. I would be nice to have a quick forward or back button simialr to those in the Postcast app.
By far the best DLNA player

Automatically skips out all of the possible surfers on your network, also a lot of searching, also allows you to browse my folder which is huge if you have a really large MP3 collection.
Do not buy this!

It does not support common audio codec used by HDHomeRun Extend. Don't waste your money on this junk!
Very Good

Very good app for streaming contect from a NAS device to your iPad or iPhone. I am using it to stream video from a Western Digital MyBook Live and Western Digital MyCloud. I like that this app does not require an additional software download to work like some of it's competitors do (Air Playit and Air Video HD). The app seems pretty stable and I have only experienced buffering issues occassionally. This app however occassionaly gives an error message about a missing audio codec (AC3?) on certain files and directs the user to try the video playback on VLC. If this app could play every file, it would be excellent.
Works great for me

All our CDs are stored on a Synology NAS using iPad and Oppo 105 as a rendered - music only - only app I could find that would play an album all the way through. Rest stop after a single song. Very speedy navigation given the number of albums we have. Great job!
Stability is an issue

I have a Twonky media server and this is the best app I have found to access content on that server. I can access it from my home network or from the Internet. I can select a large playlist and start playing tracks while the whole list is loading - other apps make you wait for the list to load before you can play anything. As other reviewers have stated, pausing a track is not a good thing. Playback will pick up again - but very shortly the app will crash. If you were accessing a remote source, you have to go back through all of the menus to find your place. Very annoying. The app seems to be very sensitive to network changes. If I move around while I am using it, the signal strength will vary. This usually gets the app stuck. It will stop playing a track. It will stop loading files from a playlist. In both cases, you need to start over again. I find myself using my mobile data even at home, because I won't run into network strength issues like this. A wish-list item is support for ChromeCast. That would be quite a nice addition. I like a lot about this app - but I would like it even more if it were more stable in certain situations.
