No update for two years

As a paid app it should works with every iOS update it crashes a lot with iOS 15 and with other apps as well it looks outdated. Don't recommend this app for anyone.
Deficient Product
realdieu
This will down-sample music to 48 kHZ. It will not play your music in its native format. For high resolution music or custom formats, this product is useless. Also, If you are meticulous with the tagging of your music and embed the front and back of the album art, the player will only display the LAST or second image and thus, your music album art will be displayed with the BACK of the album cover. No other program or app does this.
One issue
Baseballl Dude
App works great with one flaw: sometimes a song will appear to be "skipped" while listening to an album. For example, after song 1 on the album, the app screen indicates that song 3 is now playing, when in fact song 2 is playing. It's annoying, and it seems like an easy fix. I am on an iPhone 7 running iOS 10. Please fix!!
The Best!

I downloaded other HiRes audio apps to play my Flac and DSD music and this one is by far the best one in the App Store. Waiting for my DragonFly usb DAc to be shipped so I can really experience HiRes on my iPhone !
Poor documentation and instructions
Bear-Speedy
The FAQ does not explain how to download high res audio files for latest iTunes. ITunes does not show app in the iOS devices any more. Obviously the developer aims to make quick money and never cares to provide continuous support.
Not work with AirPlay
Pipi050165
When I tried to connect to airplay not work correctly. It has a delay and I listen very slow the music. The synchronization is not good.
Not good
Christian Frohlich
Can’t play a single song off of my iTunes library. I understand the DRM restriction on apps that allow you to edit the music and copyrights etc , but this is literally supposed to be for playback (at high quality) , and cannot play a single song for me. Wish I could return it. No I don’t want to individually download each song , at that point I could just upsample and convert the files myself
