HiByMusic

This app is almost there. I use it mostly for the Hibylink functionality. However, can we fix the consistency of the language in the notifications and pop up boxes? There are still boxes that pop up with Chinese in them. When it happens, I have to guess which option to press to get back to my music. If you only read English, this is a bit difficult. Other than that minor gripe, you've got a great app.

I used to love this app, since it was one of the rare free ones that play DSDs on iPhone. It also used to work flawlessly with my music library stored on a Synology NAS. However, somewhere down the line (after one of the updates), it stopped working with DLNA. I have tested with two different DLNA apps, the Synology native and the minimserver. HiByMusic can see the albums, artists etc. With the Synology app, HiByMusic crashes while accessing the album playlist. With minimserver, the album shows blank playlist with no tracks. DLNA works with other players like mconnect, just not with HiByMusic. Both my iPad and iPhone shows the same behavior and it has been there for many months.

IOS version Does Not Work with the R3! Other R3 owners have the same results, they are: Difficulty connecting iPhone to Hiby R3 Using Hiby Link. Sometimes it connects, sometimes doesn’t. The app crashes if it fails to connect. Pop-up messages in the Hiby Music app in iOS are in Chinese. Searching music in iOS is hard. For every letter I type, the keypad closes. So I have to tap the search bar for every letter in my keyword. Also, after typing about 5 letters, the app crashes. Creating a playlist doesn’t allow me to use white space. So instead of writing “Live Performance”, I have to write “LivePerformance”. Album art in the music list is not showing. Holding the volume up button in my iPhone only increases the volume once. So I have to press multiple times to increase the volume. Same goes with volume down. I bought this player exclusively for it's hiby link compatibility with IOS. It does not work!!!

The app is stable and love the interface. However I have an issue with battery life on an iOS device. It really kills the battery on my iPod Touch 6th gen. I listen to FLAC files and it this app will kill the battery within 5 hours easily. Where as the other app that I use that starts with an “f” and ends with an “r” I will get three or more times the playing time on the same files 5 hours vs. 15+

This app sounds really good and a has a slick UI too. One major problem to me is that when you look up artist all the tracks are sorted alphabetically not by album track. If you could further sort the artist option by artist then album, this would be awesome and more intuitive! Otherwise great app!! Will you be bringing over the magic 8 ball as well?
