SqueezePad

Ein paar Kommentare aus den deutschsprachigen App-Stores:

Deutschland

„Sehr empfehlenswert: Eine App, die genau das tut, was man erwartet. Übersichtlich, schnell und – auch im wahren Sinne des Wortes – kinderleicht. Zudem wird die App auch aktiv weiter entwickelt, es wird wohl noch besser… :o)

„Für mich die beste squeezecenter app. Tolles, funktionales Design, dabei schnell und zuverlässig. Macht wirklich Spaß damit durch seine Sammlung zu browsen oder playlisten anzulegen.
Absolute Kaufempfehlung für Squeeze-Besitzer.“

„Kaum installiert und sofort begeistert. Absolute Empfehlung und weitaus besser und einfacher als iPeng!“

„Mittlerweile benutze ich den SB Touch kaum noch direkt. Für mich jeden Cent wert. Erst recht mit dem neuen update“

„Bin restlos begeistert von der App. Schnell, Übersichtlich, Selbsterklärend. M.E. um Welten besser wie iPeng. Absoluter Kauftip!“

„Übertrifft Duett-Controller bei Weitem. Der Preis erscheint für ein App zunächst relativ hoch – ist aber durchaus angemessen. Immerhin erhält man hier für das Ipad ein sehr gut bedienbares Bedienelement für Squeezebox-Geräte, das so gut wie alles wie ein Duett-Controller kann – nur viel komfortabler. Sehr schön ist auch der Bildschirmschoner mit Coverbild und Titelinfos gelungen.“

„Habe bis dato meine Squeezebox mit Ipeng über meinen Ipod Touch gesteuert. die Möglichkeiten des Ipad werden von SqueezePad aber eindeutig besser genutzt. die Darstellung ist super und die Bedienung sehr intuitiv. Ipeng ist ebenfalls gut, aber eher etwas fürs Iphone, oder den Touch.“

„[…]Diese App ist einfach der Hammer!! Keine billige Verarsche, sondern ein bestens durchdachtes Konzept. Die Bedienung, das Design, die Gesamtübersicht, die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit: Hier stimmt einfach alles!!
Die Auswahl zwischen mehreren Playern ist mit 3 Knopfdrücken erledigt. Mit dem Touchscreen des Ipad scrollt man in Rekordzeit durch die Musiksammlung. Hat man das passende Album gefunden wird man von einem fetten großen Cover beglückt. Doppelklick darauf und der ganze Bildschirm besteht aus dem Cover. Man ist fast geneigt sich an Schallplattenvergangenheit zurück zu erinnern ;-)[…]“

„Hab die Software mit dem ReadyNAS PRO Business Squeezeboxserver laufen und funzt einwandfrei. Das iPad ist somit die schönste Fernbedienung einer Musikbibliothek die es je gab. 🙂
Denke es gibt zur Zeit nichts besseres auf diesem Sektor im Shop. Klasse weiter so.“

Und um das ganze zu ergänzen, hier eine Auswahl von Erfahrungsberichten weltweit.

„I have been using this app for a couple of months now and it is becoming by far my favorite way of controlling squeezeboxes. The local playback recently introduced in nthe latest version works flawlessly on my system and is a real advantage over competitor products. The interface is intuitive and album art looks superb. Great product – strongly recommended.“

„This thing keeps on getting better and better and better… If you own a SqueezeBox and an iPad, you must buy this app! I have compared all available iPhone & iPad SB controller apps… There is no comparison as far as usability goes. If you want a stable, usable, intuitive app that you will not have to learn a new paradigm for, this is the one you want… Highly recommended.“

„I can’t say enough good things about this app. I’ve been a Squeezebox and Transporter user for the last four years and this is the type of app I always wanted. I purchased the Squeezebox controller a couple of years ago and rarely used it, since it was slow and hard to read. This app is worth every penny. Just buy it and enjoy the music!„

„I must agree with the other reviews; it really renewed the life of my squeezebox. I haven’t used it in a year after setting it up throughout my house. I was beginning to want to get sonos. After installing this app, I have been using squeezebox every day and in my opinion the functionality is equal to sonos.“

„Squeezepad is exactly what I was looking for to control my Squeezebox Radio. I had been trying to get by with the web server interface via Safari, but the layout, frames, and buttons are not iPad friendly (it is barely mouse friendly too). Our Radio is hooked up to our home intercom system to give us whole house audio. Now I can be anywhere in the house and easily and fully control the Radio. No more trying build a big playlist sitting at the computer, or running back downstairs to adjust things.“

„If you own an iPad and a squeezebox, you owe it to yourself to buy this app! I love my squeezebox, but there are newer devices out there that were starting to look more appealing. SqueezePad has renewed the life of an aging gadget, and for a fraction of the cost!“

„The latest version fixes some obscure problems a few folks had in the last version and retains all the good stuff. Big beautiful cover art images, lots of options and features, but at the core a simple comprehensive interface that leaves all other ipad solutions in the dust.“

„Brilliant! Perfect, clean, simple… After being disappointed in the competition, I stumbled across SqueezePad by accident. This is just what I was looking for… The best $$$ I’ve spent on an iPad app… Highly recommended!“

UK

„An essential app for every squeezebox owner with an iPad. A nice simple interface mixed with killer features. The upgrades come thick and fast and you can even vote for what is added next at the slimdevices forum. Support is great too although you hardly need it with the auto set-up. I just loaded it up and it worked straight away.“

„The Best Just Got Better. Another release of what was already an excellent program. I’ve tried several similar programs (on the iPad and other platforms), and for me this is by far the best application for managing Squeezebox Server devices. It’s vastly superior to the web interfaces provided by Logitech. Excellent performance and packed with features, particularly the new player option.“

„Simple and elegant. A very convenient way to control Squeezebox players from an iPad. Using the same menu structure as the Squeezebox devices keeps the learning curve shallow. Very nice.“

„this app has always been good, the new upgrade takes it to a whole new level, infact it’s just gone pro I’d say. If logitech were bothering with an app I doubt it would look this good. the functionality is also improved, not that it was bad before but its now very slick. if you have squeezebox and an iPad you should not be without this app. There appear to be further updates on the way so things are looking very good for the future.“

„Werkt perfect. Totaal geen problemen met afspelen op de Squeezebox radio en IPad. Synchronisatie werkt geweldig, op de iPad het geluid volledig synchroon met je andere squeezebox apparaten.“

„Voor de bezitters van een Logitech Squeezebox is dit programma echt een must. Werkt perfect, goed overzicht van de stations en je muziek mappen. Ik heb hem nu gekoppeld aan mijn Squeezebox radio en Duet. Mijn advies: niet twijfelen maar downloaden die handel!“

„Perfect!!! This app works great! Thnx keep up the good work!“

„Just a MUST have app if you have a squeesbox setup at home“

„A great app for the ipad to control your squeezeboxes.
I have been running ipeng for a long time on my iphone and it has worked great, however i been wanting an app for my ipad as well.
The ipeng do work on ipad but it looks not great.
I first hesitated before bying this app because of the pricing but i just say its well worth every penny.
I have some 120000+ songs, all in flac, and it can handle my large music library without any problem.
For now this is the best app if you have squeezebox, highly recommended!“

„This is the missing link in the SqueezeBox family. Finally a big screen, full titles and all comfort right from the iPad. Great work.“

Singapore

„The iPad seems to be a natural fit for use as a remote control, with plenty of space for a mix of controls, menus and info. SqueezePad makes a good attempt at exploiting these possibilities for controlling the Logitech range of Squeezebox devices in an intuitive and accessible way. Whilst there is clearly scope for more development to come in future revisions, in particular in the area of playlist management, this is entirely usable as an everyday remote. Given it’s superiority in usability – even in this first release – to Logitech’s Controller, if you already have an iPad and use one or more Squeezeboxes, then this is money well spent“

Australia

„Insanely good. This app has gone thru so much improvement from what was originally a good ap to start with. The latest „play on iPad“ feature works like a charm. Where is there left to go?????“

„I’ve paid for all of the apps for iPad and iPhone, this simply is the best. I’ve got no association with the developer, I’m just saying how it is. From stilly in Adelaide SA 🙂„
