For example, the setup screen where you provide your Google Drive details adds a final option: Or, if you want just play local music, with no button to click (I suspect the screen is cropped with no scrollbar). The app is new and feels a bit “unpolished” in some areas. MusicSync is free to download and install. Its eggs are all in one basket you can only stream from Google Drive. Offline is built into Subsonic servers, and so any Subsonic compliant player allows Astiga to provide offline synchronisation. Offline is supported with a feature known as “player sync”, via the app. I guess this is down to the current web-based nature of the service. I feel Chromecast and AirPlay support would make the app more attractive. This is hardly a mainstream option though. It does offer playback as a Subsonic server, so Subsonic compatible players can play as directed by the app. The drawback of Astiga appears to be the playback options. You can pay per month, quarter or year, with increasing durations offering deeper discounts. Interestingly, the payment model is time based. It has a good community of usersĪs well as supporting additional music storage services, Astiga has an option to help you upload your music into the cloud, using the pCloud service. It’s based on the Web, so you can access it anywhere, but works just great on any platform with a web browser, like your smartphone. Make sure to stay up to date with how we build on this service!Īstiga is an app written by an indie developer.

In the interests of transparency, I'll leave the below overview untouched.

Disclaimer alert! We have since acquired Astiga.
