Car play?

Car Play support would be EPIC! This app as it stands is superb tho, so much so that I’d love to see it available on my car’s dash as well.
So buggy!

Chromecast doesn't work at all, replace queue doesn't actually play the song, offline mode will still hit the server intermittently.
Great app

It’s really great. Functionally, the best Subsonic app—I really enjoy artist radio, for digging up forgotten parts of my music library. I’m not a big fan of the icon though: the ability to switch icons would be pretty nice. Seriously, I am picky about what icons I allow on my home screen. Also an Apple TV app.
Incredible

I absolutely LOVE this app. Having such a nice interface is great. Definitely worth the purchase!
Works great with airsonic.

It's fast, looks nice and has a very responsive developer. Despite having both Emby and Plex running on my server, this is still my preferred way to stream music. It works incredibly well and the extra features (audiobooks, casting) are awesome.
Awesome but playback speed options would be great

I would love to adjust the playback speed of podcasts and such.
Almost perfect

Would love better audiobook support. I have audiobooks in their own library, but the audiobook portion of the app did not identify all of my books. They do all show up in the normal music section.
Please update

Sometimes it works with the chromecast and sometimes not, it's an essential feature. The author has spoken that it will come out in the next version, but still has no date for the release.
Solid App, Excellent Support

This is the app to use if you are running a Subsonic server. The app is easy to use, the interface is well laid out and it never crashes. The developer is engaged (rolling out multiple updates a year) and understands the community.
