Top Pcmac Reviews

Use it every day

By Surv (Pcmac user)

If Synology invested time and resources to develop this app, their NAS would be a must-have for music lovers. I’ve been using the app every day and it already is extremely usable. Well, until few days ago. Now the app doesn’t allow changing the “player” setting and actually freezes when opening that setting, at least on iPad - this makes it unusable to me. I use the app as a control point for my home hifi when at home, and to listen via headphones when out. Without being able to switch the player setting from USB Speakers to headphones and vice versatility, the app is useless for me. Everything used to work for many years until now. this app has so much promise.
Could be better.

By Ljerryd (Pcmac user)

I have been using this a lot more since Pandora is so ad crazy. Lately, it loses its place if stopped for more than a couple of minutes. And it doesn’t do a very good job of grouping songs into albums. Sometimes all but a couple are in one album and one or two are in another album with same photo and names. Shuffle and default favorites stop playing and I have to advance the song a few seconds to start it again.
Near perfect

By pholly (Pcmac user)

From what other reviewers are saying it sounds like unrealistic expectations, user error or bad audio files (that’s to be expected if you steal music online). I uploaded all my lossless ripped albums and iTunes purchases to my Synology and this app works perfectly. No problems with gaps, no album name issues, no problems at all so far. I do have one complaint and that is the lack of a EQ, but it’s not a deal breaker by any means.
Love synology, kinda love this app

By AlecBdell (Pcmac user)

Great to have a free app for my synoAudio. Thanks for that. I use this app quite a bit. Almost daily. Problem for me is takes too long to log in, sometimes I tell it to repeat a song but it skips to next. Also, I get the whole color theme thing for the other synoApps but the color choice for this one is not so great from a design perspective. Other than that, it a must have for synology and will keep on using either way.
