Stability is an issue – 8player Pro Review

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.
