Squeeze Ctrl for Android
Great controller for my Squeezebox Duet! Love it!
yes, great app except the last update is causing it automatically connect to chromecast which has rendered the app useless. 5 stars when this issue is resolved. (Using my htc one m7 phone) another update today and the problem still persists. edit:2-26-17~ since the last update, the automatic chromecast connecting issue seems to have been resolved! YAY! So it is back to being my favorite app for squeezebox.
Works perfectly again with my setup. Raspberry pi 3 + hifiberry digi+ + piCorePlayer + Qnap Nas with squeezeserver 7.9.0. Very fast at scrolling through and playing my library of 10k songs. Handles High res Flac files very well.
Excellent app! Question: is there a way to increase fonts and make them more visible (for in-car dashboard usage)?
Very nice app but has become unstable after Nougat update on my S6. Looking forward to an update...
Awesome, finally I can control my Squeezebox via Android app again!!!
The app and control is lovely! But the fact that it automatically casts to nearby chromecast is horrible. It constantly tries to cast to some neighbors chromecast that hasn't been setup. It should be possible to simply disable the chromecast part completely. Without the poor chromecast integration this would be a clear 5 star app.
Have been using this for a long time now and I love it! Use it on android phones and tablet (with tablet mode). I have one point that may be a bug... on my current android phone, Samsung S6 edge, touching the now playing album cover no longer always brings up the duration bar... it does happen correctly from time to time. I have checked every setting trying to find a switch to turn it on/off but to no avail. A bug?
Great app for the squeezebox, indeed the best one I could find. Could I make a suggestion? I love using Spotify through this app. Could you add a feature to be able to set a custom home page, meaning for it to start in a certain app (e.g. Spotify) and also to choose a standard service it always applies for search (e.g. Spotify or radio, etc.)
Best app to control Squeezebox players/devices I could find. Have it on my Galaxy Note Edge, Galaxy TabPro 10.1 and Kindle Fire, and it has never crashed up to now. Perfectly controls my Squeezebox Touch, Squeezebox Duet and several android devices running the SB Player app.
Best squeezebox controller by a country mile!
Hands down way better than any other remote app I have tried. Well worth the price.
It has a full set of features. Looks nice and the split screen is very good on a tablet. It does not always connect. Squeeze commander does. Also the volume control is a bit small. I blasted my wife with a clumsy fumble. A few tweaks and it will be the preferred controller for my Sqeezebox set.
Everything works as expected. No strange crashes or compatibility problems. Tablet mode is nice and reasonably priced. The only small thing missing is support for multiwindow mode on samsung devices.
App makes livable the fact that Logitech inexplicably abandoned the platform. Angry goat is singlehandedly keeping squeeze alive. Bought sbplayer to show support.
Designed from the perspective of the user. I cannot fault it. Spotify searches work perfectly too, if spotify app installed (unlike free controller). Top stuff.
For people still able to use the squeeze box environment this is a wonderful interface. Allows complete operation from a phone or tablet. Flawless.
Best application for controlling LMS, great features !
Great interface. Much better as the std. app.
It works unlike many of the other apps. I like it's usability and look and feel. Nice features to mute when phone rings. Worth the money to extend the ease of use for my aging squezebox. If you notice any issues with the app, try replicating the action with the Logitech online remote. You may find its the player not the remote. It may just be me, but it seems much more user friendly than the Logitech remote and seems like it allows me to do more actions (or just easier to figure out how to do it)
It has nearly any function I would need. Sometimes it can be stubborn switching from my work server to my home server, but eventually it gets it. For someone such as myself with multiple squeezebox's and servers, this app is the best.
Any chance of making available to family so I can add to family tablet?! Currently because I purchased before July I can't use this great feature.
But by far the best remote available, and getting better with every update. Well worth the money!
Works smoothly, has plenty of features and a clean and very usable user interface. Well worth the money.
Switched to this when logitechs app stopped working
Not perfect (nothing is), but quite close to it! I'm glad to finally have a nice remote for my SqueezeBox 2 player and RaspberryPi server. So much better (and more stable) than the Logitech remote app. What was surprising that when I moaned about (admittedly) small issues, I got quick and friendly replies. Not from an angry goat, but from a friendly Wayne. I know this should be a norm, but unfortunately nowadays it isn't anymore. Refreshing!
Setup issue. Get screen overlay detected go to settings shows off. Can't get any further. Screen overlay detected. Then device settings then what? Sq ctrl is turned off. Am I supposed to turn ALL my apps off? What will this do to other apps?
I was getting 'connection broken' a lot before the update, that's fixed. Also with the update the best thing about this app now for me is the option to 'always ask' when a song is selected. There is an option on the server for this but I've found it only works on my Touch and not on the Duet. Now this app is my go to squeezebox controller. Thanks for the update guys! Actually it still keeps saying connection broken, reconnecting. Minus one star. Almost perfect, still the only app for my squeezebox though.
Tried it to replace squeeze commander that has become flaky on lollipop. Very pleased with it so far, I like that you can add Alarm to the home screen, you can adjust single click on a song to play next rather than play and replace the playlist (nice during parties when I hand the phone to friends to add their own selection of tracks). + keeps getting better
I had the WebOs version and when I switched to Android there was no doubt what squeezebox app I would use. I downloaded other apps just to check them out and none compare.
It is very rare that you find a developer like this. This app does everything that you expect from a Squeezebox controller. And does it very well. And looks pretty good doing it. And it has plenty of extras that you might not expect. And he keeps updating the app. And finally, he is very good on support.
Works extremely well! Better than the remote that came with the system originally.
Powerful, yet easy to use.
Remember to check/change the Mac address setting to the SB player if app won't connect to SB player. Once you figure out where everything is at, easily the best "one stop shopping" app for the SB player.
This is most valuable app I have purchased so far. It's fast, very well designed and intuitive. Thanks to this I have resurrected my squeezeboxes gear. Lot of additional options you can't find in similar apps.
Thanks for the update, but the control with my Huawei watch still doesn't work. Now the watch manages to Starr the app on the phone, but the controls on the watch no longer work ( they don't show up). In fact, trying to start the app on the watch doesn't do anything except launch the app on the phone.
Very smooth. I think that this will be a good purchase. Finding my way round what seems to be an intuitive programme. Thank You. UPDATE - Been using it for a few weeks - Good application and worth the money. FURTHER UPDATE . April 27. Thanks for the regular support and updates and keeping these wonderful gadgets alive. The application is in danger of becoming excellent!
Very reliable in my LMS setup. Full featured and consistent UI. The best Android controller app.
Only it would be great if you could adjust volume for all synced players on the same time just using the volume buttons
