✓ Drains Iphone battery as app stays active in backgroundPlease fix app as it constantly drains battery while not in use ( as stayed in background) It drains iPhone battery completely..Himanshu LotiaVersion: 2021.1

✓ Still has some issuesHas some annoying bugs...the playback freezes for me when I'm leaving my house (switching from WiFi to cellular) and I usually have to close and reopen. The drag box for pulling down the screen and scrubbing should be a lot bigger. You have to touch all the way near the top and pull down when on the now playing screen. Swiping right always puts me in the album info screen instead of going back to the song section. Also it's almost impossible to scrub along the track without accidentally switching screens. You have carefully place your finger right on the playing dot. Maybe setup a car play screen option so navigation is easier? That is when I mostly use this app. Otherwise nice clean ad-free UI..AdramesVersion: 2021.1

✓ Albums deleted from server still shown on deviceI've been mostly pleased with this app, but I have one frustration. when i delete albums from my server they still show up in the album view in the app. of course, im unable to play them, so this is just clutter..Goatf00dVersion: 2021.2

✓ It just works okayWorks okay with music app in nextcloud but songs don’t auto cache or require manual caching onto phone which is bit annoying..SanfxVersion: 2021.2

✓ Exciting possibilities for proper functioningThis app has possibilities. It could be a great app for streaming from your home media library. I would love it even more if it could play more than one song without stopping when running in the background. I would also love it if it showed the correct cover art for the music and I would be even more ecstatic if you could do a search for an artist and then add all the found tracks to the playlist en masse instead of one-by-one!!! OMG I am overjoyed that I paid $5 for this app!!! It is totally not crap!.😱😫🤗Version: 2020.4.4

✓ Great app; feature requestWhen scrubbing through tracks it’s nearly impossible to grab the slider, especially on long tracks like audiobooks. Would love to be able to increase the size of the time marker so it can be grabbed when on the left side of the screen near the edge..BobbytopVersion: 1.11.3

✓ Music playerDoesn’t play m4b format.Rudeboy2k11Version: 2022.3

✓ Latest version lets you disable a feature rather than fixing itI’ve contacted the developer through the preferred method multiple times about an issue that prevents playing the same track twice. It’s not just me since I see other people mentioning the same issue in other reviews. The latest version allows disabling the resume point menu, which is the source of the problem. I don’t understand why the developer made an option to disable the feature rather than fixing the glitch with it. I guess it’s better than nothing because the app was completely broken for me before this update..RafinesqueVersion: 2023.1

✓ Don't buy it!Subsonic will stop working if you don't pay every month for Premium. So the app is worthless. I want my money back..MassabrVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Apple carplay issuesThis app would be perfect if this issue is resolved with carplay, When selecting a folder then a song you have to choose two songs further down in order to get the one you want to play..Luieq1Version: 2020.1.3

✓ !!!There are a few things I REALLY hate about this app! One that comes to mind: the “play queue”! I have, at no point, requested that a queue be set up... unless this was inferred from my touching Music:Favorites, then touching one of the songs from my Starred selections. Now, as I’ve often seen, I get “play (replace queue)”, “play next”, and “add to play queue”. What the hell?! Just start playing the entries in my Favorites list, starting with the one that I selected! None of those three options cause this to happen. Rather, random other songs from my collection pop up, in sequence, as I click thru each..Whatever just send!Version: 1.11.3

✓ No playlist supportApp works great and has a slick UI, but tragically doesn't support playlists. Seriously?! I would give it 5 stars but without playlists it’s basically useless for me. Hopefully will be added in the future..Against_DemonsVersion: 1.1

✓ Kind of buggyCar play is very buggy. Loading list of artists or albums only partially loads and will stop at the letter L. If I exit and reopen sometimes the full list will load, other times not. Playing from a playlist or album will frequently pause between songs forcing me to press play multiple times to get the next song to play. I really want to like this app but it’s frustrating have to constantly mess with it to get it to function properly, very distracting while driving..THeriot777Version: 2022.2

✓ NopeGive me my money back.Urmom100000Version: 2020.1.3

✓ Good but it has issues.I want to love this app. I really do. But there are just so many random issues that make me curse it every other day! Common issues I have: - If a track is paused, and I press play, it will play then instantly pause itself again with 1/10th of a second of audio playing. If I press play again, it plays. - Ofte a song will just restart playing, multiple time, at different points in a song. - Once a week it will claim my server is offline. Nothing I seem to do can get it going again other than waiting. - The app seems to do weird things when creating playlists. On the server there seem to be issues with playlist ownership even when selecting ‘make public’, they’re not public playlists. I have to manually fix this on the server. - The app seems to delete songs if the cache gets full. Just randomly deleting songs without any warning. - The way the app caches music os weird. If I cache a playlist with different songs it it and then I go and view my albums, if 1 song is cached it will claim the the whole album is cached. Or the whole artist is cached (it’ll say like 7 albums and 14hrs of music) but when you click through it’s only got one song. It makes it hard to manage my offline music because I have no idea what’s really cached easily. I want to love this app more but in 2 years of use it hasn’t changed significantly for the better. I still think it’s the least bad SubSonic app and I still think that SubSonic is the least bad home music server. But there is so much room for improvement. I don’t think the major streaming apps are any better so I continue to use it. But I hope it has more work put into it over time. For reference I have a paid version of the ‘official’ SubSonic..Mr winstonVersion: 2021.2

✓ AcceptableWhile the app seems to be the only choice for a somewhat solid experience, the user experience is lacking and it could use a refresh..PeperunasVersion: 2021.2

✓ Gets stuck on one songLong time iSub convert, have been using this for years now, however recently when I play a playlist sometimes it gets stuck playing one song. For example, I'll go to the 5th song in the playlist, and it'll play that, then next up play the 12th song. I manually go to the 8th song, and next up is the 12th song. I'm playing a random song, then get a call, when I go back to the player it plays the 12th song, really annoying..Agoree407Version: 1.8.1

✓ Cannot connect to serverWon't connect to my Subsonic server over SSL. No way to contact developer to report the issue. Shame as I really thought this might be an improvement over iSub, for which development seems to have died out..A loyal chiverVersion: 1.1
