## Play Reviews in United Kingdom

### **--- "HiRes lossless music?"
It's a nice player but it's promising hires lossless music without transcoding while in practice no matter if i play 44.1KHz mp3, 96KHz flac or DSD file the DAC always display PCM with default sampling rate of 48KHz. Prefered sampling rate can be changed to up to 192KHz but it will be always 192 then even for content with lower sampling and in next app launch it will play again with default 48KHz regardless that in the settings it is set to other value. I'd expect player to play bitperfect when losless no transcoding mode is enabled and change bit rate and sampling rate per each track to correct values like Apple Music does.
-- Tomasz232, 2025-01-06

### ***** "Polished and fully-featured"
Thanks for the ongoing maintenance of this app.
-- Dan384738292, 2024-12-20

### ****- "Nice App"
The app is good but i faced a couple of issues 1) the app crashed occasionally 2) no way to update ratings 3) did not find a way to log out of a sever and log back in .

however the app seems to have lot of configurations for managing equalisers , replay gain etc so may appeal to a class of listeners.

good stuff:
the app can play entire directories, instead of albums
-- trippysings, 2024-09-02

### ***** "Great at first"
But now I can’t scrub songs. It just restarts the track. If I pause the track for more than 5 mins it restarts it also.

Update 

Bumping back to a 5 I reinstalled and I can do everything I could before. Hopefully won’t have to do this too often
-- Afro thunder , 2024-07-11

### ***-- "Music player"
Doesn’t play m4b format
-- Rudeboy2k11, 2023-01-12

### ***-- "Acceptable"
While the app seems to be the only choice for a somewhat solid experience, the user experience is lacking and it could use a refresh.
-- peperunas, 2022-03-11

### ***-- "It just works okay"
Works okay with music app in nextcloud but songs don’t auto cache or require manual caching onto phone which is bit annoying.
-- sanfx, 2021-08-30

### ***** "Great functionality and support."
Really impressed with this app. Great interface and functionality, I’ve tried it with two different servers and it worked flawlessly with both. Developer is really responsive to support requests.
-- M T Roberts, 2021-07-19

### ****- "Really nice but"
Really nice app, great functionality, but please please update the ui/transitions etc to look more modern, it takes a lot away from what the app could be and is my only gripe with it.
-- Ajaymtora, 2021-04-30

### ***** "Play:sub"
Have used other apps but this one is flawless with great features and no lag it is super quick. Developer is very responsive as well. Love it.
-- azlmaqlp, 2019-12-20

### ***** "Still the best around"
Been a fan of this app for a long time now and it’s still the best Subsonic player on the market by a country mile.

A plethora of great features making listening to your music anywhere a joy.
-- paul_kirkup, 2019-10-26

### ***** "Very classy!"
Love it
-- cwestarkreviews, 2019-06-20

### ***** "Beautiful"
I've tried them all. This is easily the best Subsonic app.
-- PawCook, 2019-01-15

### ***** "Best Subsonic app on iPhone"
The latest update brings some nice touches to what was already the best app out there.  Feature-wise, this wins hands down.  I use this app for multiple hours every day and it is solid.
-- Schkube, 2018-07-25

### ***** "Best subsonic client out there"
I’ve loved this app from day one and V1.9 takes it to even greater heights. Great app.
-- angellightphoto, 2018-07-24

### ***** "Best subsonic client around"
I’ve tried many other subsonic clients on the App Store, but they all have flaws, they either don’t support SSL at all, don’t support self-signed certs, or don’t support the iPhone X, have trouble getting album art from the server etc. This one has all the features, works flawlessly, plus the developer is very fast in responding to feedback.
-- MTLusiC, 2017-12-28

### ***** "Still the best subsonic player for iOS hands down"
Fully featured and still the best iOS subsonic client around. Great app.
-- Ben.1.2.3, 2017-11-30

### ***** "Play sub"
Great app, works perfectly
Nice GUI
Well worth the investment.
-- stemur68, 2017-09-09

### ***** "Great app!"
Have gone through several apps over recent weeks trying to find one that works well with subsonic, this one fits the bill nicely.
-- Waynage-uk, 2017-08-14

### ***** "Perfect companion for subsonic"
I've tried several of the iOS Subsonic Apps and I find this the best one. The UI is very clear and easy to navigate and a pleasure to use.
