### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-04-10*

Best app I’ve used in this hobby..

### 5/5 — Solid

*2026-03-22*

This app just works and the updates are useful not just for continuity but also features.

### 5/5 — Very Solid

*2025-10-03*

Latest version is getting really great. I use it regularly with my Mini-I Pro-4. Very pleased.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-10-02*

Very responsive app, clean interface.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2025-09-29*

I have used the app with both the TS1 and MD1P and i love it. So simple to use, the layout is great and i find it easier than most of the connect apps. The graphics are excellent and the response time to change songs and volume is instant.

### 1/5 — mini-i Pro 3

*2025-09-06*

Qobuz will stream with the Pro 3 via Qobuz Connect. Other apps connect – NOT MA App. Is there a support page? NOT! . No older version on the website. Time for a new listing on Craig's List. 
Bye-bye MA. :(

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-09-05*

Good

### 3/5 — Nice UI and functions needs more bug fix

*2025-07-19*

The functions are well organized in the UI, and easy to operate. It needs more bug fix to make it stable. For example after marking some tracks as favorite the filter by favorite does not show any tracks. Also in general, when selecting, playing, or browsing  the usb storage it frequently crashes although the playing is not interrupted, and immediate reopening the app can continue the work.

### 1/5 — Latest app can not discover devices

*2024-08-21*

I am using the latest version of the app on iPhone and the latest firmware on my Element X. This new app lost record of my device so I tried to go though the device discovery again to add it back. But no matter whatever I tried, wired or wireless or specify the IP address of the device, it just couldn’t find my Element X anymore. However on my iPad which has always have the Element X on record and still works fine so far. Please fix it! 
Update: I should add that I only encountered this problem since I updated my element X to the latest firmware a couple days ago. Before that, I never had this problem. But, I also updated the app at the same time. So don’t really know which one cause the problem.

**Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience caused by your use of our service. However, we need more information to determine the issue. Could you please send an email to sandy@matrix-digi.com? We will address your issue promptly.

### 5/5 — App is improved a lot!

*2024-07-03*

I do not understand why are only 3y and 4y old feed backs and not one more recent! That is strange! I use MA Remote from my iPad Pro and I have a mini i4 as a streamer with a 2 TB SSD! Works almost perfect! Great looks and good functionality! It is very responsive ! My only concern is that it does’t know to ignore the invisible DS Store invisible files created by the macOS and the fact that ask for library sync every time I switch on the app and the streamer!
Trust me, their streamers are very expensive, but they worth!
