Awesome app- fast and easy to use

By Dmac13123 (Pcmac user)

I’ve tried a number of free apps for my playing music off my airsonic server and this is by far the best. It’s extremely fast loading as if the songs were on the device instead of streaming. I can’t even tell it’s streaming, honestly. It’s easy to queue songs, albums, genres, years, artists, etc on the fly. It shows my artwork properly also. I’ve only used it for a few days, but well worth the purchase price. You can also set max nitrates (for Wi-Fi and cellular) to help limit data usage, customize cache sizes and download music directly for offline this app. I haven’t yet found a feature I want that is missing, and I am someone that likes a lot of settings/tinkering and features! Keep up the great work, dev.
Now the best subsonic client for iOS

By bupkis (Pcmac user)

I was an iSub user for many years. When version 1.8 of this app:Sub came out, I found myself splitting my time between the two apps. Version 1.9 (July 2018) has changed all that: this app:Sub is the only client for me now. Why? The power of the interface. It’s very flexible for things like adding tracks to a currently playing queue. Basically, unlike iSub (which is no longer in active development) the interface feels current and doesn’t get in your way. Add in features unique to this client like Artist Radio (plays songs from artists related to the current one) and you’ve got a winner.
Please give us cast options and CarPlay

By Blank_screenname (Pcmac user)

I would pay extra to be able to use “cast” to capable Wi-Fi devices...this functionality is in the Google Chrome version of the web interface in the this app bar, a lot of apps do this now and it would be awesome to have. I would also like to request that we get a true car this app interface. This app is phenomenal please keep up the excellent work in developing!
Longtime iSub User Convert

By Anthony Cervo (Pcmac user)

I was a longtime user of iSub and it feels a little wrong to be cheating on them, but this app is hands down the front runner for the functionality, user interface, and the settings I always wanted. iSub has some work to do to catch up. Great work on developing an alternative! I do wish there was a setting to disable art in the list view of Artists to be able to see more artists at one time.
