### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-03-17, version 3.3.120*

Using it with JRiver Media Player as the DLNA renderer playing music from my network server and Tidal.
Easy to set up and use and it even shows the sample rate and bit depth as the music is played.

### 4/5 — Could be improved

*2025-12-12, version 3.3.120*

I liked the functionality and purchased the full version for iOS and Android. However, the interface could be improved to be more like the Wiim app or Jplay — more intuitive with radio support.

### 3/5 — Very Good - A Few Rough Edges

*2024-07-17, version 3.3.108*

Good;
It can find an Arcam SA30 on the network as well as a B&O speaker.
It streams high res Tidal to an Arcam from its own app.
The native Tidal app is better than the one in the Arcam app and does high res FLAC which the Arcam doesn’t. 
You can control volume through the app.
Bad;
A touch slower than some renderers but not much.
It only does landscape.  Really, it should cope with portrait and landscape.
Internet Radio seems to be absent. I don’t know if this is user error but I can’t find anything.

This very close to being a full 5*. The absence of Radio is a big issue.

### 4/5 — New issue

*2024-03-26, version 3.3.101*

Was a great player and still is mostly. But a recent update (can’t remember when it started) has caused a new problem. After playing an album all the way through, the very last track is cut short but a few seconds, spoiling the end of the whole thing.

### 3/5 — Good but….

*2024-01-16, version 3.3.97*

Using mconnect to send music via UPNP to my streamer as its hands down the best qaulity for high res audio on Qobus. HOWEVER it consistently turns the volume back down when i turn it up via all methods in small steps. I have no idea why its doing that and its extremely annoying.

### 1/5 — Does NOT connect to any of my Chromecast devices - crashes immediately

*2023-12-30, version 3.3.97*

What a piece of garbage software from Conversdigital I’ve installed on my iPad-Pro 12”. It crashes frequently, which at this time, no other apps are doing on this iPad running iOS v17.2.1. It plays music files stored on the iPad thru the iPad’s speakers OK, but crashes when asked to connect to visible and working fine Chromecast speakers on the same WiFi network. If I wanted to play music locally thru the iPad’s built in speakers I would have run Apple Music. Instead I purchased mConnect Player HD to send music over WiFi to my Chromecast speakers …. Which causes this awful app to crash immediately. Until Conversdigital fixes one of mConnect’s fundamental features - DO NOT purchase the app. Meanwhile I am going to try to get my purchase refunded.

UPDATE — Discovered I can use GoogleHome app to stream Pandora to my Chromecast speakers without issue, so just avoid mConnect Player if you want to stream online music to Chromecast speakers.

### 1/5 — Steadily going downhill with no updates for ios

*2023-09-21, version 3.3.89*

I don’t know if it’s because there hasn’t been an update in a very long time to keep up with iOS updates, but this app is increasingly unstable and unreliable.  I have had to resort to using airplay1 to my Yamaha renderer rather than using mconnect.  Looks like a Bluesound Node is in my future since this app has become unusable. Every time I try to stream Qobuz playlists through mconnecthd it crashes or hangs.  Using the Qobuz app works fine for the same playlists.  Something in the network protocol within the app isn’t compatible with ios since 15.x. At 16.6.1 it’s absolutely useless.

### 1/5 — Still unusable, after dozens of updates

*2023-09-10, version 3.3.89*

I paid for this wretched piece of an app. Only because it is still the only option for getting Tidal to work with Neutron. This app freezes randomly, and has been doing so for YEARS, update after update, and irrespective of the hardware you run it on, or the OS version. I freezes, and if you are very lucky (about 10% chance), an app relaunch will get it going again. Otherwise, you’ll have to just wait until tomorrow, when it may decide to work again, for maybe half an album’s length. If you are lucky. If you are even luckier, it doesn’t crash, it just turns into treacle in front of your eyes. You can scroll through Tidal for some five minutes or ten, until every scroll has a lag of about 10 seconds. As an added bonus, the company is entirely unmoved by the reviews here. They just keep flogging the same broken code because hey, once you have forked out your dosh, who cares?

### 2/5 — Consistently Degrading Reliability

*2023-09-07*

I would have submitted a support ticket if there was a link that anyone could share, like through the app maybe?  Huh? Why isn’t there? This app started out like a buggy mine field a few years ago, got better, and now appears to have the same issues as earlier releases. It will consistently crash when trying to play an album to a renderer after hitting the play button.  It will crash when going to queue and pressing play after selecting a different renderer.  It will hang when trying to play playlists. All from Qobuz and the native app for Qobuz has none of these issues with its playlists.  So, big problems with reliable connection to a renderer and then intermittent success.  Going to switch to a Node and be done with this patch-work nonsense.  If this app was reliable I could probably get at least 5 years more out of my Yamaha gear, but not with this crap going on.

### 4/5 — A godsend

*2023-09-03*

This app allows me to stream HD music from Qobuz and TIDAL which is fantastic, especially after Oppo stopped supporting their remote app. The only thing I wish they would add would be album cover pics as I like to see them on my TV. A small but aesthetic thing I miss. I also wish I could access my USB drive attached to the Oppo as their own app did, but I realize that’s asking a lot. 

I also think the GUI would be more elegant, but that’s another small quibble. Bottom line is this thing was a life saver for me and will continue to be until I purchase and newer receiver and/or Bluetooth streamer. 

My partner thinks wifi is bad for her, so she wants it permanently turned off. Rather than argue with her about it, I have found a workaround by installing ethernet ports in key areas around the house.  Also, in order to play to my older Oppo, I have always had to turn on wifi. But up until recently, I always had to turn on wifi in order to access the streaming from mconnect HD. The good news is, all of a sudden, it now seems to stream perfectly thru my ethernet connection to the Oppo. So nice because I can listen to music while maintaining the peace. 

Thanks so much mconnect people. Now about getting that album graphic to show up on my TV…
