Best iPad App for MinimlServer

[Peter@57m]

I have used LUMIN from when it first appeared many years ago.
I use it on both apple and android tablets and like that it’s available on both and that it works on old devices. Many other control points need you to be running recent versions of operating systems.

I like the compact interface of LUMIN where I see what’s playing including artwork, the queue, the volume, the progress through the track and my available albums all on one screen. I like it but understand others see it as too “dense”. This is probably the marmite factor.

Often I use just the Lumin preset indexes but also frequently go into my Minimserver preset indexes just one click away. I don’t find updating of the local index an issue, it happens in the background and I can keep using the app during this. I guess if you add music very often it may become an issue but you could say this is also true of Minimserver.

I think I tried bubble but it was some time ago and it didn’t really make any impression and I would tend to have discounted it as it is not available on both apple and android.

I also use the Linn app which is available on both apple and android, in fact it seems for me to be more stable on android. It’s come on a lot in the last year.

So I am very happy using a mix of Lumin and Linn.

I have tried Roon but really could not get on with it, can’t really say what it was specifically and yet others love it. It was both on a Roon device and another trial on my QNAP.
