Glossary term

Control App Platforms

Control App Platforms lists the phone, tablet and computer systems supported by the control app the manufacturer provides or designates for the product.

It describes the device running the controller, not the streamer’s own operating system. Music-service apps alone do not establish this field.

Control App Platforms — Streamer

Check support for the device you plan to use, including whether a phone or tablet is covered and which operating-system version it needs. An older tablet may not meet the current requirements.

Also check the functions available on that platform. A desktop app may handle playback but lack initial setup, leaving you needing another supported device to get started.

Web browser means control through a web interface, not a promise of a separate native app installed for your computer’s operating system. Check which browsers and functions the interface supports before relying on it.
