play:Sub Music Streamer App Reviews

Using it on my iPhone 14 Pro and iPad m1 11”. I still can’t choose an icon on my iPad (works on the iPhone). Taping any other icon does not select it. Some song titles are truncated. It’s been like that since I purchased the app years ago. Contacted the developer a long time ago and he said that I’ve hit a very old bug. Well, how about fixing it. It’s been years. I’m using it with Navidrome running in a Docker container.

Great app that does almost everything I’m looking for in a streaming phone app. The only thing I wish it had is better sorting for non English characters. Instead it will sort it as it’s own unique character instead of conveying to Pinyin for alphanumeric sort. That’s nitpicking cause most apps besides a few do that. Definitely if that could be added this would be the perfect music player for my use case.

The software is great, but it quit unexpectedly on iOS 16.4

I figured out the issue with ampache not working, and now that it is this app is great. I tried the other free ones, but they all had some problems that I didn’t want to deal with.

The UI is beautiful, and I love how customizable it is. My one suggestion that is really me being picky is the repeat function. Usually there's 2 types of repeat, repeat all songs and repeat one. So far, it doesn't repeat one song and I poked around the settings and I found nothing for it. I'd really love that function.

Car 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.

More features, and decent interface. I wouldn’t call it the most polished, but at that point I’m being really nit picky. Stable so far, and I do love all the controls it provides. So far for me worth the purchase. Thanks!

This player + Navidrome is best combo ever. It is amazingly stable and polished. Comes with car play support. Does offline playback. Everything about this app is amazing.

The app is the best of the subsonic players out there. My major complaint is the lack of a sleep timer. I often fall asleep to long tracks or audio books and find that I need to use another app if I want to have a sleep timer.

i'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.

I love this app! Has more features than I will probably ever need, except one. Repeat track. I cannot find a way to repeat one track, in particular, the current track. Please let me know what I am missing.

I’d love to see a “sleep” feature added so you can listen to audiobooks as you fall asleep without having to worry about it playing all night.

There are a handful of Subsonic clients for iOS. This one is my daily driver. It has a clean interface, is stable, and continues to receive support from the developer. Long term support for niche apps like this is very much appreciated.

I absolutely LOVE this app. Having such a nice interface is great. Definitely worth the purchase! Gets better with every update!

Nice UI. Has been stable. Developer is engaged and active. What more can you want?

using it with libresonic and it works amazingly well.

I use play:sub all day every day while working. I have zero complaints. It’s a beautiful app, feature rich, maintained by a responsive dev, and it works like a charm!

this app cant searching when i type on CAP, or spacing that defer with file name.

Great app but really needs CarPlay support. Would make it the go to choice for everyone. Please add this. Would be amazing for commutes and drives then.

Such a great app. I use it all the time without the slightest issue. The developer is responsive and helpful.

Thanks for letting me beta test. The new multiple server option and ability to do audiobooks and music is perfect for my needs.

When it works it works fine however there is an issue with SSL enabled sites. It identifies Let’s Encrypt issued certificates as “self signed” and won’t connect unless I enable to connect to sites using self signed certs.

The only usable subsonic client on iOS in my opinion.

Supports a ridiculous amount of customizations for all you fickle people.

I use this to stream audiobooks from my book sonic server and it‘s flawless in execution. Variable playback speed, saves my spot, ability to download for offline cache. It has everything I need in an audiobook app.

Seems to work quite well, only thing missing is CarPlay support

Best Subsonic app out there. Any chance, though, of getting Car play support?

Best subsonic app I’ve found. The interface is fantastic. All that’s missing is CarPlay integration. Once that’s there I don’t think I’d ever use anything else again.

Great app but I wish there was an app for the Apple Watch also.

I’m using this to access my FunkWhale server. Works good, but some UI elements are hard to hit (especially on iProducts without a physical home button) Glad I bought it.

Has full customization and works with my nextcloud server. Epic. The one issue is every time I add a song to a playlist it creates a new playlist.

With the exception of one, much less developed subsonic streaming app, it’s the only iOS game in town.

This 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.

Works pretty well but feels a bit like beta software, sometimes doesn’t play songs and other times plays songs instead of podcasts.

This is my favorite subsonic app. If you added an Apple Watch feature I would be over the moon. Please do this!

Excellent and easy to use. I used to use iSub until it stopped working. Glad I found this! Would definitely recommend. Support is awesome and responsive too!!

I’ve used iSub for as long as I can remember as I’ve never found an alternative, until today! This is similar to iSub but updated and doesn’t crash. Hopefully the developer continues to keep it updated! Loving the replacement!

Often loses its mind when you try to skip a song while shuffling. Also has trouble with playing songs that haven’t downloaded yet.

Play:sub has been my go to app for a few months now. But I recently noticed that playlists weren’t always adding all entries. I’m reverting back to iSub until this gets figured out. If it doesn’t then I’m ditching this app.
