It used to be an amazing app several moons or versions ago, but it has gotten progressively worse with every new version. It's hit or miss now and when it works is extremely slow and now to top it off it requires a subscription. I wish the developer would remove the connection check that in my opinion makes it slow and make it a one time purchase. I'd not mind paying for it but because of the aforementioned reasons the purchase or subscription is not justified, sorry.

We all paid premium for HQ Player desktop software, and now they want us to pay for control app. This app was OK but not without issues, and it is not worth $13 a year. I'll be looking for another desktop software.
