### 3/5 — Great UI, needs to be stable

*2019-04-04, version 6.5.5*

Beautiful, clever UI, and it remembers your browse position when leaving and returning to the app. But the it's unstable with crashes and freezes happening regularly. It doesn't update the now-playing display with the album cover that's actually playing. It can't continue playing its queue when in the background. The scale on its volume control is wrong, making it difficult to adjust. In fact, almost nothing with the basic playing functions works well. It's a shame there are these problems, I really WANT it to work because of the great UI!  Support seems dead as well.

### 3/5 — Awesome… except for...

*2014-12-19, version 4.2.4*

Gorgeous, gorgeous graphics. Love the interface. Works with my DNLA easily so in that sense does what it says it should do… so it gets 3 stars. I would happily throw down the $10, heck, even $20 for the full version and rate it 5 stars… Except for the very glaringly obvious problem… which is that iPads dock vertically, and this app is designed for horizontal use only. What on earth is the point?!?! I even thought about trying to buy the iPhone version and using it blown-up on the iPad so that I could get a horizontal interface so I wouldn’t get a crick in my neck from looking sideways trying to pull up some music… they don’t let you do that either.

### 3/5 — No Support For DSD Audio

*2014-10-12, version 4.1.1*

Please support the DSD container formats (.dsf/.dff).  I'm not asking that you transcode the DSD formats, but simply allow your app to pass the DSD audio as-is to a DLNA renderer, capable of playing DSD audio.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-09-07, version 4.0.3*

If you have an RDio subscription, files on a server, Airplay or DLNA, I would recommend this app.  It plays audio and video off of my Synology server and can access music in RDio from one app.  I am not sure I know of another app like it.

### 5/5 — Home Run

*2014-08-15, version 4.0.1*

I take that back , Grand slam... Finally the App for DNLA that we were writing for!!!

### 5/5 — Was great, but no longer streaming

*2014-06-07, version 3.2.17*

UPDATE

The streaming feature returned. I did not do anything to bring back. I do not know why it went away in the first place. I have no complaints now, so 5 stars. I hope it stays. 

******************

The iPad version of the App stopped streaming from my Network Attached Storage device. I purchased the DLNA upgrade. The DLNA folder browser is greyed out in the source selector. It works on my iPhone. I uninstalled the App and reinstalled it. Then I restored the DLNA upgrade. Nothing worked. I have latest version of the App. 

I tried going to the website to report the problem. I filled in the required fields. I could not send the message, because it said all the required fields were not completed.

### 5/5 — A great App All in One

*2013-11-18, version 3.2.6*

A great app   I have all my music videos and reading stations that I want in this app.!!! Don't doubt it and get it!!!!

### 5/5 — LOVE it

*2013-11-10, version 3.2.6*

Like the video features and the radios a lot!

### 5/5 — Creation 5

*2013-09-20, version 3.2.4*

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2018-09-08, version 6.5.2*

What a pity the developers of this app cant sort out all the bugs , crashes .

This app has great potential- come on guys sort out the problems and make this a great app.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2015-11-21, version 4.8.4*

If I could leave no stars, I would. It finds your media center easily. What it doesn't do is playback the videos using AirPlay. It lets you select the device to use, in my case Apple TV, but the movie continues to play on the iPad and never transfers to the Apple TV. I also tried playing it on my Sony tv and it gets stuck on loading 98% and does nothing. This is the free version and from my understanding the only difference between the free and the pay version are ads. Do not waist your money on the pay version and do not waste your time on the free version.

### 1/5 — Crashes often

*2015-02-13, version 4.4.0*

Useless app. Crashes often.

### 1/5 — Not Worth My Energy

*2014-08-31, version 4.0.3*

This program brings nothing NEW or USEFUL to the table--look elsewhere!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2014-06-09, version 3.2.17*

This may be the shortest trial I've ever used (maybe 15 minutes) and I was never able to find my tv on my network, something Flipps does flawlessly. Too bad because it had a nice interface.

### 1/5 — Trial?

*2014-05-29, version 3.2.17*

Does Apple accept trial apps in App Store? I'll ask them about you... Bad, very bad

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2014-05-14, version 3.2.17*

App crashes all the time and no support from seller. Don't waste your money

### 1/5 — Crappy

*2013-12-08, version 3.2.8*

Too complicated.  Too fancy for it's own good.  Does'nt play wav files.

### 1/5 — Looks great -- too bad it doesn't work

*2013-10-11, version 3.2.4*

Crash, crash, crash.  Won't work on my iPad Mini.  Will someone refund my $8?

### 2/5 — Needs some work

*2014-12-03, version 4.2.2*

I'm looking for an app to stream from my dlna server. It looks cool, and found my server, but crashes  so much it's  unusable. If it gets some stability fixes  I'll be  glad to  add  more  stars.

*2016-05-12, version 4.8.12*

Using this to pull music off a Raspberry Pi media server and stream  to a Chromecast Audio. It works great! Worth buying.

### 5/5 — Works great with mythtv

Along with the C2 app (for playback), this app works great for finding/browsing content recorded using mythtv.

Works great to stream music to iPad or Apple TV

### 5/5 — Very Impressive App

*2016-01-18, version 4.8.6*

This multimedia App does a great job in letting you connect to all music, videos, internet radio that you have and what you like. Great for discovering worldwide music that is really great. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

### 5/5 — C5 is terrific

*2015-12-22, version 4.8.5*

C5 is a beautiful app, works wonderfully with the Twonky server on my new NAS. 

After hours of unsuccessfully trying other options, including the NAS vendor supported apps,  C5 worked instantly!  

I'm just using as an audio streamer via AirPlay at the moment so I can't comment on other media.  Regardless,  strongly recommended.

### 5/5 — Very slick...

*2015-11-22, version 4.8.4*

Very slick interface. Works for me as advertised, streaming from a NAS media server to my Chromecast.

### 5/5 — Works for me

*2015-08-30, version 4.7.2*

Tried it out and works very well, needs a few adjustments but overall very happy.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-07-06, version 4.6.3*

Smooth interface. Found my DLNA storage device plugged into my Linksys Smart Wi-Fi without issue. Nice slide show of my album art. Worked as advertised and we'll worth the money spent.
Great Job!
