The free MusicLife iOS app from ARCAM does almost all that BubbleUPnP does on Android platforms, however while it can play the Linn streams it cannot play the BBC Radio streams. Because the app squeezes all the library, album and track playback information onto 1 page I still prefer the look and extra detail available from BubbleUPnP. The initial impression of the MusicLife app is that it is faster responding however it looks as though this is because it has a smaller cache than BubbleUPnP, as with my large library it has to stop to read more library data if I move far from my first choice of music.

The app is well worth a trial for new users of MinimServer who only have an iOS device (iPad or iPhone) and don't wish to buy an Android one.

Thanks for this pointer. I have installed MusicLife and tried it. It seems to work well and I didn't notice any cache-related delays. I will investigate why it isn't playing network streams.
