Premium Version

This premium version is developed with Flutter, see onpc-flutter branch for source code

The "Premium" version implements exactly the same receiver control functionality as the free version, but has a more flexible user interface. It allows you to reorder the play queue using drag-and-drop, change the font and buttons size, and show/hide/reorder all control elements for all tabs. Android version also allows to create a home screen widget that shows all shortcuts.
