Reviews of play

  • Love the app

    Love the app it’s better than all the other iOS clients out there. Worth the money. But I want to make a feature request can you please allow us to cache all songs on the server with a single click of a button? Makes it easier to download all the songs for offline listening if your going on a flight etc thanks
  • No “show all songs” option

    The app is the best for navidrome/subsonic out there.. but it doesn’t have a show all songs options, just random/favorites/recent Would be good to have an option to just show everything I have

    Edit: can you add support for non western alphabets? Like on the right side, songs in any other alphabet other than Latin appears as 2 Ä ó or whatever, instead of the right letter
    Just so it recognises the first letter of the song and put them on the list, so that way it shows regardless of the alphabet at the end of the Latin one (like plexamp does?)
  • Great app for Navidrome

    Great app for streaming from Navidrome. The UI can be a bit clunky at times, like the context menu, but that’s more of a nitpick. There are a few features I’d like it to have, like more robust integration with Siri and iOS music playback (if left paused in the background, will need to go back to app to start playing again. Doesn’t happen with 3rd party podcasts app), being able to add multiple songs to a playlist at once, being able to search for albums from the Albums view, etc. Not as slick as the Music app, but a great alternative nonetheless.
    Regardless, it’s a great app for streaming/downloading from a Navidrome server.
