### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2023-05-04, version 2.2*

Connect never load  music or any kind of content  ,need a lot work at the moment wast of time and bandwith

### 1/5 — It does not work

*2023-01-28, version 2.2*

It does not work at all with my DAAP server

### 2/5 — 再生中に落ちます

*2022-03-09, version 2.2*

NASのiTunesサーバーのアクセスは問題ないのですが、連続して再生しているうちにアプリが落ちます。2〜3曲くらいなら問題なさそうですが流し続ける使い方では使えないアプリかと思います。他によいアプリがないので改善してもらえると嬉しいのですが。。。

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with rhythmbox as source

*2021-12-07, version 2.2*

I have Ubuntu 18. Daap is enabled in rhythmbox. Simple daap does not find it.

### 2/5 — Music plays for a minute, then stops...

*2020-04-24, version 2.2*

Love how quickly it finds my Firefly iTunes server. All content listed correctly. However, when I select a file to play, it only plays for a minute and then aborts. I have to go back and start from scratch at that point. Like the other reviewer said: doesn’t fully work as is, needs polishing.

### 4/5 — A simple player

*2019-04-27, version 2.2*

Works fairly well, works a bit slow when loading all artists. I think maybe it's making a new library request to the daap server each time.  Less memory used but slower. 

Will not work with iTunes 7+ shares, but that's due to apple's authentication.

### 4/5 — Puristic

*2018-10-25, version 2.2*

But does what it should . Great work ! Thanks !!

A Pity, that it doesn t support Login with authorization.

### 1/5 — Crashes when you select song

*2018-01-07, version 2.2*

^

### 3/5 — Good but some drawbacks

*2017-10-01, version 2.2*

A nicer gui would be great and a better battery usage.

### 3/5 — Free and Buggy

*2017-08-18, version 2.2*

For the connection to my iTunes home-share,  it throws an error that cannot be clicked because is it behind the working grey screen and not in focus. For the connection to my NAS, when I select a song it immediately throws a connection error but proceeds to slowly download the song in the background and eventually plays it. It seems like a good college project that could use a little more testing and polishing.
