excellent app
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.

Disappointing
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.
