I want to love it, but ...
I only just started to use the app, so understand that before reading my review.
I love the idea behind this app. Streaming and downloading videos I own for a total cost I find reasonable by comparison to some other services I have tried is a great idea.
Its just too bad that when I tried to use it I experienced several problems, some major and some minor:
1: The interface should be improved. While not much of an issue, it is annoying to have to go back several menus, getting me out of my server folders, just to get to the settings menu.
2: I had issues with Airplay. Not only was the audio only in stereo, but it kept buffering and causing playback glitches when I switched to my stereo speakers. Restarting the app didnt fix this. Also, something I found to be a more frustrating part of the interface was its lack of responsiveness to my touch when trying to pauseresume video when using Airplay.
3: Connecting to my UPnP server on wifi was difficult. Although it connected to my server right away, the app frequently acted as if it was loading a very large list of files or folders, as long load times showed what appeared to be a bad connection between my iPad and my server. Restarting the app did fix this, however.
Otherwise, it does what it is supposed to do pretty well. I want to love it, but for $10, I expect there to be no noticeable bugs andor issues in the app. I have only begun to use the app today, so for now, Ill give it the benefit of the doubt and score it with two stars.
