Wish there was a way on Windows or Android version to change the display name of networked devices. even changing the name on the device itself does not reflect an update in app .other than that works great with my xbox one!!!!

This works very well but (while it's ok on my other devices with screens upto 1080p) it has horrible graphical issues on my LG G4: when scrolling lists (server media or playlist), the graphics are garbled so much that the list becomes unreadable. Also pop up windows are not rendered correctly and the media control buttons at the bottom are very small. These annoyances make this otherwise great app almost unusable on my G4. Please correct for devices with higher than full HD resolution screens.

I use this to play my music from my homemade server (minidlna) on my Sony Brava TV. Effortless, and easy to install and use. Volume does not work. I did not find a way to play Internet radio stations, but maybe it's just me. I like the simple 3-page interface.

On a Galaxy Note 10.1 ed 2014. Luckily Bubleupnp works great, otherwise I'd have to send my Majik back.

It's not a bad control point for linn ds players but even though it's not free, bubble DS is just so much more intuitive and easy to use with better features.

I quite like the layout and look but....I can only get this app to play one single song at a time, then it stops playing altogether. No matter how many I place in the queue. Yes, I've read the manual and tried many different things to make it work.

Would love to rate better, but the app just does not work. It only shows one out of 3 UPNP renderers, does not play to the one shown, and seems to lack core features such as play-full-album. Pls. try and test the app before releasing.

A must have for anyone with a Linn DS system.

Linn claims that this app works with all UPnP media renderers, not just Linn players. I have an Oppo BDP-105, which provides UPnP/DLNA renderer functions and works with all other UPnP/DLNA control points I have tried. Kinsky allows me to start playing a selected media file but offers no facility to stop the playing of that file! Once a track starts to play, I can't do anything until it has finished. This is very strange. I have never previously seen a media player without a Stop button.

Only useful as a volume remote control. The lack of a search function for the music library leads to an astonishing paralysis.

My search for UPnP players have yielded once that are pretty but don't work, ones that need UI help but work. This addresses both - works and is pretty. However, I am still not able to find a way to search the library. Or, find a way to delete what is playing currently in the tablet interface (which seems to match the desktop interface - good job). I created a playlist of one and put repeat on.

Simple and works great on galaxy tab 8.9 very well with foobar and UPnp plugin. However volume control doesn't work.

Works well on both my HTC Desire S and Nexus 7. Just missing the full tablet experience on the 7, add that for the 5th star. Ed: I see 4.3.12 has the tablet option. 5 stars sorted.
