User reviews

Excellent for HQPlayer

There is native support for HQplayer, which replaces the HQP app on IPad. The app is very intuitive and easy to use.

Would be good to have a monthly subscription model

World’s best music software

When all factors are taken into account; user interface, quality of customer service, updates, performance in regards to stability, cost, and of course sound quality, Jplay is the best I have used. I am a Roon lifetime subscriber and I barely use it anymore.

The app I have been looking for all along!

This is an excellent app. I have tried Roon (to complex, cluttered and frankly quite ugly) and Audirvāna (to unstable and unreliable for me), but this app blows them out of the water. It is clean and simple, yet really powerful too when needed to be. I love the way it integrates so well with Minimserver making browsing my own music just how I want it. It also plays flawlessly (and gaplessly) to all my equipment (Eversolo Play, Wiim pro and CXNv2 for those interested). One thing I would like would be iCloud syncing of the database to make it easier to switch from one device to another, but as it is I am a fan. Thanks so much for this!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words. Really glad JPLAY is clicking for you across the Eversolo Play, WiiM Pro, and CXNv2, and that MinimServer browsing feels right. iCloud syncing across devices is a great idea and one we're aware is wanted — noted here as another vote for it. Thanks again for taking the time to write this — it means a lot.

Vergleich mit mconnect

JPLAY ist im Vergleich teuer, aber klanglich deutlich klarer, entspannter, natürlicher.
Ja, JPLAY kostet lifetime 200€, der klangliche Gewinn ist aber deutlich größer als bei einem 200€ Kabel - macht also Sinn!
Auch der Support funktioniert gut.

Ich habe lifetime gebucht

Response from developer

Thank you for the opinion. Can you please specify what do you mean by ‘runs badly’? Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Slow close to perfection but with an epic fail

The app interface is fabulous, extremely well done. I was very excited to start using this platform after seeing how professional it looks. The sad reality is that it is an absolute shìt show for playback. It can’t play music for more than one track before it goes into a ridiculous buffering cycle chopping the music up non stop. What a massive shame. If the developer can sort this out I’ll absolutely come back to using the app but for now, the playback is a total mess.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words about the interface, and I'm sorry the playback experience let you down. Shame you didn't reach out to support first — we're always happy to help.
