User reviews

Worth every penny

If you’re sick of the first-party Plex app and don’t care for Infuse’s interface, look no further - Chroma has a great look, a committed developer, and a solid playback engine.

Funktioniert, sieht gut aus, ist aber zu teuer.

Also die App läuft super flüssig und sie hat ein sehr schönes Design.

Wenn man lokale Medien, Jellyfin und Plex nutzt, hat man eine gemeinsame Übersicht.

Aber wenn man nur Plex nutzt, ist es zu teuer, nur um einen schönen Player und eine schöne Übersicht zu bekommen.

Idee: Lokale Medien einmalig 6,99€. Plex und Jellyfin jeweils einmalig 12,99€.
Das wäre ich bereit zu zahlen.
Der jetzige Preis ist leider zu teuer.

Response from developer

Send me a message and lets see if we can come up with a solution.

Beautiful UI for your media

App works with your own media on plex or jellyfish and works on iPhone Duo with a gorgeous interface, unlike jellyfin or plex app. Only feature I want that’s missing is playing theme tv songs when browsing the tv shows I have like plex does.

Response from developer

Send me a message and lets see if we can get this working for you.

5 min limit on free is crazy 😭

Guess I’m waiting for plex to optimize their app

Response from developer

Hey this is actually getting reworked for free users. I appreciate your feedback.

Beautiful UI… cannot recommend with its current subscription model

I’m sorry but the pricing for this app is ridiculous. $60 for a lifetime pass for a streaming app that relies on my own media is just insane. A $3 a month monthly fee isn’t any better.

It’s a shame because the UI and layout are gorgeous, but this pricing model is going to hold this app back. We don’t want to pay subscriptions for a client with a fancy UI. A one-time payment (like Plezy or other alternatives) would be much more compelling than $60 for a streaming client.

If this gets changed I’ll come back and update my review but for now I cannot recommend this app whatsoever given the pricing model.
