Reviews
Shuffling 150K songs
Ralphy F
Travelling on a long roadtrip and uploaded 200 random songs to shuffle! Each track is a pleasant surprise ?
Very frustrating
personmanbeing
You are listening to a thing. You have to pause. You keep it paused too long and try to start listening again and no sound. Look at the app and it says it is playing. Have to entirely shut down the app and re open to get any sound. Doesnt remember where you were in the listening. In fact this not remembering is another thing that is very frustrating. I have a podcast that now is telling me parse error and can no longer access or listen. Problem after problem with this app. Very much do not recommend. It runs like a free app but i paid for it.
By Far Best Subsonic API App
Just.Some.Guy
I’m 7 years in with this app, and although I still check out other like-apps, this is still by far the best. Easy interface, extensive as-is, and a right balance of add-ons if you have a more complex environment. Pick your favorite Subsonic API server and you’re good to go.
Nickel and dime, piecemeal features
distantdark
This app disabled common features into in-app purchases. Really shameful. These are features that many of the other subsonic apps give away for free. The whole reason I bought the app was because it had Apple Watch support. The Apple Watch app only has playlists where you have to upload the entire songs in full. It doesn’t access your subsonic server. This app is a serious disappointment and the greed is really disgusting.
Buggy Bluetooth playback
fkrhd
It has the potential to be a nice, feature rich app. However, it has always been buggy playing audio through Bluetooth. Despite several reports, the issues just morph into something with slightly different symptoms, rather than actually getting fixed.
The Essential Subsonic App
Tom Simmons
I originally purchased this app a few years ago and watching it grow to become such a fantastic client for my music has been a wonderful experience. Features are added as consistently as bugs are fixed and with a striving for smoothness and consistency in the interface. Without this app there is a good chance I would have given up on my Subsonic setup before it could have realized its potential. I rarely go out of my way to review an app but when I saw that after all the effort and dedication put in by the developer it only had 3.8 stars I made it a point to profess my appreciation for everything that they’ve done. If you’re looking for an iOS Subsonic client you can end your search here. I look forward to continuing to watch this app grow as I expand my musical horizons.
Very Pleased

Love that I can access my hi res and Redbook audio collection in full resolution in the car, while traveling, or on walks.
Lacking playlist support and Apple Watch sync buggy
LuckyM0use2k10
1. No intuitive way to edit playlist. You can add songs only to “active” playlist which means no way to build multiple playlists at the same time. 2. No way to play playlist in offline mode. Tapping playlists button starts server connection, tapping cache does not list playlists. How do I play my playlist when offline? 3. Syncing 55 songs playlist to Apple Watch took me couple hours. The process seems to be breaking and getting stuck on transcoding or watch sync status. It goes well for couple of songs then I have to restart it.
