### 1/5 — Ça fait plusieurs jours que j’ai envoyé ce commentaire AUCUNE RÉPONSE DE VOTRE PART

*2026-02-18*

Depuis quelques semaines/mois l’application ne fonctionne plus normalement avec Spotify elle saute des morceaux et les chansons ne vont pas au bout du titre c’est usant surtout quand on paye et si essayez d’aller sur le site du développeur alors la c’est juste incompréhensible, impossible d’expliquer ce qui vous arrive

### 2/5 — Needs fixes

*2026-01-17, version 9.8.4*

Volume control is moving around by itself! Must be annoying the neighbors

### 4/5 — Bien, mais…..

*2025-11-05*

Appli parfaite pour gérer un piCoreplayer, mais helas, plus de maj depuis 2 ans et ça s’en ressent. De plus en plus de mal à lancer des albums ou titres.

### 5/5 — WOW GREAT APP

*2025-07-13, version 9.8.4*

IPeng is the best, the very best app for controlling your music library. Transporter and iPeng, although created some time back are unrivalled. There has not been a product released the matches them. Recently there have been a few servers that mimic iPeng and Transporter. However the versatility and interface is still the best ever developed. It is really unfortunate that Logitech took over this product. They really had no idea how or where to market this amazing duo. However iPeng is available as an iPhone app and keeps the server relevant all these years later. Works across Apple products even on Apple Watch. How fantastic is this?  When these products were developed there was no such thing as an iPhone. It had not been developed. But it works flawlessly. But the genius is the versatility, compatibility, flexibility allows it to stay relevant even today. Simply the best !! The very best !!

Update. Can you believe iPeng and the Transporter are compatible with hi res files. WOW. This network player has been around a long long time. The designers are geniuses with respect to streaming music. But: iPend puts the fun & functionality into the transporter. I have other streamers but the transporter and iPeng are so far better than anything else. Amazing!

### 1/5 — Верните деньги!

*2025-07-04, version 9.8.4*

800 рублей псу под хвост! Дефолтная вебморда и та продвинутей. Нет сортировки в плей-листах и избранном. Что-то найти просто нереально! Сделали хотя бы пробный период один день.

### 2/5 — Appears abandoned

*2025-06-08, version 9.8.4*

Used iPeng for years.  No updates in about two years, and has various bugs:  album art appears/disappears, missing albums, song titles in playlists sometimes get shifted to the left "under" the artwork box, maybe others I've not noticed.  All of the above do not happen running side-by-side against my Android/Linux clients.  Too bad.  Going to have to delete it unless they resurrect it and fix these issues

### 1/5 — Why does it paste every time?

*2025-04-19, version 9.8.4*

Why does it try and read from the clipboard every time you switch to it? What data are you trying to capture? This is spyware behaviour.

### 4/5 — Migliorabile

*2025-02-16, version 9.8.4*

Con Daphile come server le immagini delle copertine negli album di Qobuz si vedono un po’ si ed un po’ no.

### 1/5 — iOS 18 widget

*2024-10-06, version 9.8.4*

Will there be iOS 18 widget???

### 5/5 — It shouldn’t be complicated

*2024-10-04, version 9.8.4*

When I click play on an album , play the entire album, not the first track and then stop. Why in the world would that that not be the simple, assumed default. This whole app needs to be reconsidered from the perspective of mildly techie users that just want to play music. I’m a big fan but at this stage in the game, please reduce complexity and think about the real world.
