Pros and cons of iPeng app for iPhone and iPad

iPeng app good for

So much better than the official Logitech app -- and it can additionally turn your iOS device into a player so you can remote stream your music. Full featured app, actively supported and developed, and a pleasure to use. Nothing else even close, and well worth the money.

Great app to have control over your Logitech Media Server (in my case running over a Synology NAS) and your squeezebox devices. And my iPad is now part of the ecosystem as a controller and player. I like the integrated browser to go the web pages of LMS and the Squeezebox devices. Awsome work. Good job! Why did I wait so long to get it? Really!

iPeng provides easy access to your LMS library from the iPad. A real must-have for SQ lovers.

The quality of this app has renewed my commitment to the Squeezebox platform. This is the best way to control a Squeezebox/Transporter set-up by a wide margin, and takes the convenience and functionality of the system to new heights. iPeng 7 is a superb enhancement of an already great app, and I think its essential for serious Squeezers.

Had my iPeng running, saw this new version, purchased and it instantly connected and worked right away. Looks great, love the dark theme, nice to be able to customize the menus too. Also continues to support my extra squeezebox addons, lyrics, iPad playback, etc. No hesitation whatsoever buying a new version, the iPeng creator is great at developing and supporting this app. Kudos and thank you!

Cant live without my iPeng. Thanks for all your hard work Coolio!

Some bad moments

This would be a great app if it worked properly. It doesnt recognize either of my Logitech products consistently. I have reverted to the older app that works as advertised. $5 a lot for something that wont work. Thanks.

This app helps me find and play music on my squeezebox boom. So much better than using the manual controls. Highly recommend! Super awesome way to control the boom. It just works. Get it.

Does a fine job when needing to manage multiple devices plus headsets.

Easy effective. Does what j want in music management in my house. What more could you want!

This app is great! The search helps me find a song quickly, integration with third party plugins (ie like the lyrics finder) work well and its easy to use. I love the ability to stream music from my squeezebox/slim server library directly to my iPad and iPhone. Yes that feature is an in app purchase, but its well worth it. The cost of this app with that feature is still a bargain and if you are on the squeezebox/slim server/Logitech music server platform, then its really a no brainier. As there are not that many other options available.

iPeng was one of the first apps I got on my original iPod touch. It was fantastic then and has only gotten better. Very simply this is one of my favorite apps of all time.
