Disclaimer: I use a receiver with wired speakers only. The GUI is semi-intuitive, some elements are hard to find. All in all I'm satisfied though, as with many tools you have to get used to them and their quirks. Yes, the connection to streaming apps could be better. Yes, there are bugs. Yes, fast-forwarding songs is a must but this can be worked around. Connectivity stands and falls with a well-working wifi environment. I had sporadic issues which I could trace back to my router.

Essential app if you have musiccast equipment. Just as well I have an Android phone as there is no Windows version. You get used to it but it can be very irritating (no search function, scrolling through all the folders on a server until you find the one you want). It doesn't always respond quickly so you're not sure whether the commands have got through...) Anyway, as you can't operate the network speakers without it, you have to have it...

Right now I mainly wish there was an easy mode for the app, so it would be easier to use for my mother. Too many different screens to go to if you want to select and play music from phone/USB, esp. if you use more than varying devices for playback. Favourites works for radio stations. For local music it's only for single songs which is kind of useless.
