This app works very well. I have it working with six airport expresses and 3 Yamaha Musiccast speakers (in airplay mode) ---works amazingly well. I'm sure that some people may prefer sonos---but this app lets me choose my speakers---a person is not stuck in the sonos ecosystem----nor forced to use a subscription service to get the most out of one's purchase like the target audience for the homepod. For those of us with large collections of CDs and itunes purchases, I think this is much better than going the homepod route/apple music route. I have not noticed any latency issues (but I do have robust network involving two hardwired ac time capsules and some wired and non-wired second generation airport expresses). I hope the developer will make an upgrade available to more than 6 speakers, ---10 to 12 would be great! Keep up the good work. Show more

Probably should have read more of the info before parting with $9.99 as I subsequently found that this app will not play any of my Apple Music library whether it's Cloud or on my device. Even music that is stored on my device will not play despite what the pop up help says. Everything that can be played (apart from Apple Music) requires additional $$$$. I was probably overly anxious to get my two Homepod's working in stereo to read what the app could or couldn't do so that's my mistake. There are some samples that can play included in the app but that's not what I wanted. So unless you are happy with listening to obscure internet radio stations (which also require more money to work), you will not get Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify etc, etc. Shame as this app has potential but is severely limited.

It has a little bit of a learning curve. And it is not initially intuitive. But it is worth taking the time to learn.

I recently bought 6 HomePod for my house. I am very happy that this app works magnificent with all my HomePod. I can stream my music to all of the them simultaneously. Great app!! (Since Apple has not released AirPlay 2) Show more

Have the app and spent additional $$ upgraded number speakers. But will not play DRM protected content (that you have already paid for). Partly Apple’s fault for being such grinches but this app should be able to ‘piggyback’ off Apple Music itself no? Show more

Tried using this with 11.2 after update - it messed up selecting AirPlay devices to the point that I had to restart the device.

All I wanted was to play the same source from my iPhone or iPad to my marantz avr with airplay and whole house speakers powered by a different amp that uses an airplay dongle. This app allows this! No issues with audio sync if you have solid wifi. I have the Orbi so plenty of bandwidth. Only downside is that the music has to be on your device. I was streaming podcasts before, now I just download them. Thank you Whaale!!! I am a big fan now and will spread my joy... and no, I wasn't paid to say any of this! Show more

NO ITUNES Music can be played. Only uploaded CD's

Good thinking!! The stereo controls are perfect. Perhaps in the future more channels and controls of equalizer!!

App has its glitches. Volume controls don't always work and I have to reset my network or restart my speakers at times. I've added an AirPort Extreme and 2 Airport Expresses to help spread the signal more consistently through my house but it's not anymore stable then with the router my cable company provided.

This app does everything it says. Finally an app where I can stream music to all my airport extremes! Follow the directions .. very important! I wish this had the ability to play Spotify :( but I'm happy for now ! Show more

Playing to multiple speakers from you're phone is a joke. It cuts out constantly and audio is off in each room by nearly a second... I have a very strong wifi network, so I think its just really a limitation of the iPhone and the app itself/airplay. I went back to using Apple Remote and controlling iTunes... Show more

Awesome! It delivers exactly as promised! I use Shairport4w on my computers all around the house and plug into various audio equipment to UNANIMOUSLY make all of the windows rattle!!! Love it!!!! Show more

Spent $15 on app and extras before realizing it doesnt support any of my music from itunes due to DRM. This is completely worthless to me as that is 100% of my music. Why even have an iOS app? Concept is great and multiple airplay speakers does indeed work. Just have nothing to play that the app supports. Show more

Does not work with Apple Music or Spotify. Waste of money.

I bought this app to use it with my iPhone but it doesn't support apple music!! I keep getting this two confusing messages: "Unfortunately music from Apple that is sotred on this device for offline listening cannot be played by WHAALE due to DRM protection." "iTunes Match/iCloud items that are not stored on this device cannot be played before they were downloaded to this device manually using the Music App (due to technical limitation by Apple)." Show more

...I like it!??

Unusable app. Music constantly cuts out or doesn't work to begin with. Constantly have to force quit and restart the app. Also there's a bug that causes it to show the volume box when you force quit and intermittently when it's running in the background. Seriously don't waste your time & money. Show more

Only works with music stored on your device. Does not work with streaming sources such as Amazon Prime or music stored locally on a NAS. Tech support does not respond to questions. Save your money unless this limited functionality is what you are looking for. Show more

No audio to multiple AirPlay destinations or even one!
