Pros and cons of Neutron Music Player app for iPhone and iPad
Neutron Music Player app good for
FTP - amazing. You need patience to "scan" large, remote server collections but it is so worth the time. It streams any and all music files via my FTP server and the sound is phenomenal. At first I felt overwhelmed by all the options and settings but it quickly became second-nature to use. I swear, if I could get my money back from all the garbage Apple allows in its store, I would pay $100 for Neutron. Its like a... music headquarters... I cant say enough good things, you just dont find apps like this. Please port this to Apple TV. AirPlay is fine and sounds unbelievable but please - let this be my ATV music player. I will pay for it again, to have it on my big screen.
I have installed this app on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad mini. on the iPhone it works perfectly up to 24 bits /96 kHz source, with higher sampling rates (192 kHz) the playback becomes unstable. This is obviously due to the hardware limits of this device.
On the iPad mini, no issue to playback the highest sampling rates.
The network streaming is powerful, works very well with my FREEBOX revolution box, the files being stored on the hard drive.
Plenty of audio tuning possibilities. The EQ is excellent.
I have not tested Neutron with an external DAC so far, unfortunately, so no idea how thiss application behaves with an external device.
Its the most powerful app I have found so far for playing hires audio files, in second position I would recommend Onkyos HD player
This player is almost to good to be true. All the features one could ever ask for, packed into a smooth and stable app.
Streaming, crossfading, eq, everything works flawlessly.
The interface looks nice, but things get a little tiny on the iPhone. Besides this, its the perfect player. Worth every cent.
The ability to set your own listening levels, while fine tuning all the important highs, mids and lows is a worthy upgrade for any audiophile. Now if they could marry the seamless offering and presentation of the app "Grove" and the terrific sound offering from Neutron, we could possibly make it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
:)
All in good fun. The app is geared to making the music sound great, and it really accomplishes it. Your headphone will love you.
I got a great relationship with this App I learn lots and I love using the abilities to change whatever I feel. I love how you can use to EQ the Graphical EQ sub-Fix everything! I love learning lots!
Needs an update though. Every time Im using it the screen goes dark-music cuts out. If you can do that, thatd be great!
If youre going to complain about the user interface of this app, this isnt the app for you. But if youre like me, have a huge, well tagged MP3 collection, and value audio quality and key if not obscure features, this is definitely the app for you.
Its allowed me to skip using iTunes to manage my music library and avoid the Apple Music app while still maintaining an ability to transfer files to the app via hard wired usb cable for super fast transfers. It also displays MP3 tagged album artwork, lyrics embedded in nonsync tags, can handle replaygain tags no problem, has great compilation options for how to group by artist or album artist tags and how to split albums and discs, dithering, frequency matching, digital output, sick!
Takes a little investment in getting to know the interface, but for more large and well tagged libraries with the need for fast sub transfers and a desire to avoid iTunes library management (still need iTunes to transfer just dont need to import files to iTunes) and the Apple Music app, this is the app for you.
Some bad moments
Theres a BIG glitch when trying to import music directly into this app. Artists will show up multiple times with weird spellings. Its got some great features, but this is a show stopper for me. Contacted the developer and was told to simply FTP music into it. There are no clear instructions as to how to accomplish that. Went to the FAQ page, but absolutely nothing on iOS!!
I try to set and access any one of several computers on my network with numerous folders shared with everyone and it completely fails to let me do anything at all… it cant find a single directory in any of my computers shared folders???? terrible user interface…. I have been banging around in the setting for 20 minutes and nothing in the networking will work like it should…. really bad design…. If I cant get it working before days end I am demanding my money back…..
The scrolling and click actions are AWFUL! The app is painful to use because of this.
Hire some coders that can bring this app up to 2012 standards :(
When resuming a paused song, the app plays one second of that song then automatically skips to the next one. It knocks me right out of that VIBE that particular song put me in so I have not been using the app at all. I was EXTREMELY disappointed that todays update didnt fix that, as I have been experiencing this issue since the release.
Reinstalling the app did not fix. Rebooting did not fix. DFU Restore on my iPhone and starting "as new" as opposed to restoring my backup did not fix.
This has happened with every iOS version since 8.0.0 and every Neutron version since release version, including todays update. The iPhone 5s on 8.1.2 is not jailbroken and was not restored from a backup but rather started as new. Also happens on my friends iPhone 6 also. Keeping Neutron open before turning screen off as opposed to returning to homescreen then turning screen off helps my friend with his 6, but does absolutely nothing for my 5s.
PLEASE fix your app.
Do not waste your money on this app. It does not even load up. Stuck on language screen. Garbage. I took a chance on this app. Never again. Would like full refund.
- still ignoring old (3 or more updates ago) bugs
- constantly freezes for upto 40sec while scrolling
- all content/songs are deleted after using Media Settings
- Search engine does not work properly
At least you made it a 10band ... finally!
