Most reliable DLNA/UPnP music player
Gbpath
I have tried 3 other players for listening to music stored on my NAS, and this is the most stable and reliable one that I have used. If it had an equalizer, I would have given it 5 stars, but it does what it does well.
needs bugs fixed and new features
Steve S1981 NJz31ss
Search doesn't search in subfolders. So if you are like me and have many subfolders, it is hard to find songs. When playing a song from a DLNA server (I use serviio), when the screen locks (manually or to whatever timeout setting you have) the current song finishes, then the app closes. You unlock the screen and the app closed itself, so whatever queue you had was gone. These 2 items make the app useless to me.
Best DLNA music streamer for iOS
Paradise Lost
I use mconnect in conjunction with Serviio installed on a PC and it works flawlessly for music streaming. Just click "Browser" and a link to the Serviio server appears. I have tried several other DLNA apps and none comes close for ease of use and music streaming functionality. Unlike some other apps, mconnect supports shuffle and album art. With Serviio (and some proper tagging) it is possible to shuffle by genre which is a really cool feature. I do not stream videos so I can't comment on that functionality. Try the free version to see if you like it. I reported a bug and they fixed it less than 24 hours! Outstanding. Definitely worth supporting this app's development.
Amazing
Appliker
Roon gets all the buzz but this app is better and faster if you actually want to hear music seamlessly from all your connected devices, including steamers, iOS gear, whatever. No metadata and "critical" commentary like Roon but who cares? Best value, best app.
Don't buy it!

This application is a complete waste of money. Lacks most of the features available in other apps.
Updates break playlists
jshueth
Every time I update the app, the playlists lose association to the music files. I have to go back and re-create the playlists. Also, the app cannot remember what track was playing when it is interrupted for an incoming phone call. I dispose what Apples Music player has become. I was hoping mconnect would be the solution, but it is equally frustrating.
Terrific app, lacks support for above 16bit/44.1
Geoff Armstrong
I love this app, so don’t get me wrong with this small criticism: Qobuz shows up and I am able to stream to any UPNP renderer on my net. Why though, when I have a Qobuz Sublime subscription and try to stream to a renderer that can handle 24bit/96khz or 192khz streaming is this app limiting me to CD standard. I can understand this restriction if I were streaming to the IOS device itself; but I’m not. With this one thing fixed, I would give it 5 stars,
Good streamer
Listen_to_Me
Got this app to stream at least CD quality music to a volumio server, and it does that okay! One nitpick, when I connected to tidal, it didn’t stream until I found the settings and selected the highest quality stream settings. Overall sounds good and let’s me easily stream tidal to my system more reliably that using the tidal app directly (which uses airplay or Chromecast Audio, not upnp, I believe). The UI leaves a bit to be desired, but it’s the best I’ve tried for iOS, so giving it 5 stars. Edit: just to clarify this app does not seem to stream Tidal Masters at 24bit. It could be a limitation in Tidal or my UPnP server (volumio), or my HiFiBerry DAC. I’m not sure what’s to blame. CD quality sounds great though.
Locks Up After 2 Songs
HB1140
I can't even play two or three songs without it locking up. The audio quality is good while it plays, but I can't even use it. I am using it with a BluCoil DAC/Amp. Not that it really should not make a difference. So the idea is great and I really was hoping this would work out better. But it was a waste of money for me.
Was BAD NEWS Now GOOD NEWS

Using this app on an old iPhone 6S Plus, it used to take 15-20 minutes to recognize DNLA devices on my network! UPDATE: Now on iPhone Xs and iPad Pro, along with developer software updates, devices are recognized instantly! I conveniently stream Tidal to my DNLA network devices (like Marantz pre-processor and PS Audio DAC) using my phone, and the sound quality is excellent.
