Prism Music

Author focuses on another project and this one still lacks of some features, like quality selection for downloads

I was using Plex/Plex Amp apps on my devices for quite a while, but I wasn’t satisfied with the accuracy of the output on my Audioquest Dragonfly Red dac. Recently I discovered Prism player and finally my dac started to show the correct sample rates on playback from my Plex library. The interface of Prism is clean and comfortable to use, with the option to change theme and font, but there’s just one view of the albums in library, which is list and it’s not very nice in my opinion. I would rather like to have a cover art view with album title/artist below. While it’s my main Plex player on iPhone and iPad now, there are few features I would like to see in future versions of Prism: - Album covers view (not just list, like it is now) - tvOS version, to experience my Plex music collection on big screen. - widget for Prism on iOS/iPadOS. - presets for EQ, with the ability to share these settings (ie, for various kinds of IEM’s or on-ear headphones) Anyway, I think Prism is a well-built player and a highly recommended app for every Plex user, especially when using external DAC.

This rules for plex does all libraries and albums 👍

This is a pretty decent music app for Plex. Despite that, do not waste your money on this app for the full features as this app is going on almost three years without an update of any kind. I'm about ready to leave this app behind due to zero support from the developer.

Really amazing app for using Plex for music. Better download support than Plexamp, cleaner UI, among other advantages. I really hope the dev is able to return to Prism someday.

Everyone seems to love this app, and the design is great, but it seems to have gone without updates for a while. Music plays, but the currently playing track does not update accordingly. The current track time also doesn’t work and always shows 0 time remaining.

I love this app and use it every day. Very well made, feels native!

This app hasn’t been updated in over a year. The foundation for something great is here, and this dev has certainly proved their abilities with the Prologue app for audiobooks, but Plexamp is probably a better choice until this app shows signs of life. Plexamp might not be utterly flawless, but it is getting regular updates and new features. You’re gonna need to purchase the premium version of Prisim to really get the features you want (downloads, refined sorting, etc.), but again, there’s just no upkeep here. If you run into an issue or find something broken, that’s it.

Whereas PlexAmp focuses more on eye-candy over functionality, Prism demonstrates a clear commitment to usability. Offline and online listening is well thought out and unified. Downloading tracks are managed within one centralized library view (not two like PlexAmp does). Long press and tracks/albums will download immediately and show a tag. Just filter the entire library by “downloaded”, and now you have your localized library suitable for commuting through cellular dead zones. The downloaded tracks sit in a folder on the device. Update 10/8/23 - Still going strong but does have more issues on iOS17 it seems. I hope the developer returns soon to clean up some loose ends. Or maybe go open source and post the code on GitHub? It’s worthy of the attention.
