The BEST Subsonic Client

So far, this is the only client I have found (and I have tried MANY) that consistently works exactly how I expect it to. No gaps between tracks, no issues when scrolling around intra-track, and no extra fluff functionality. Everything just works. Do yourself a favor and skip the other apps and just get this one if you’re looking for a Subsonic/Navidrome compatible app!

Great app that has replaced spotify

This app has been great to stream my audio collection from a NextCloud instance in my home, completely replacing spotify.

Background playing issues? Really?

Ok, I have tried substreamer, Amperfy, they are free and have their own pros and cons. I think of trying paid one maybe have better optimization although the UI is not that good. But it turns out I am facing the biggest issue even when I try these players. It will always stopped playing after go to background in about 1-2 minutes. And I’ve tried to reach out it’s 5 stars service also no response😂so anyone can help me?

Thank you so much for the years of consistent dedication on this app. I find it impossible to replace with anything else 7 years later!
