@avidamoeba I kind of use it. The interface isn't as intuitive as Tidal - which isn't great to begin with. Wiim, which is another step down, is also better. It's nice that you can play the same music across multiple systems, but since it cannot sync the music across players it's not quite good enough for any use case I have had.
I do use it for automating my kid's alarm in the morning on her Sonos speaker. Which also has an alarmingly high failure rate, but that's because the speaker turns off and needs a prod to wake up again.
