So why even bother commenting on this thread?I don't care too much.
Why wouldn't I be entitled to do so?
Some care, some don't. WiiM obviously have a clear mobile first strategy and everybody should be free to tell if they are happy with this or not.
Why do you post here instead of contacting WiiM directly? Maybe to find out how many users share your point of view on a Win or Mac app? That's as legit as me commenting on the current status and if I think WiiM should put more emphasis on this (I don't).
i second that,
but i have the Windows version installed on a desktop PC and (for me) it's quite useless. so maybe it is better off that WiiM team focus on the mobile app development
Bit niche, no?

As I have written before, better to make a Web version of the WiiM Home App. That would cover all platforms.

That would indeed be nice and give buyer confidence that even if they abandon it there is not a dependency on an app. Small web server running on it assuming it has the resource to do so.

The WiiM device already run a Web Service (HTTP), so it's a matter of expanding that to serve a device specific web page also. Maybe it will be a problem for the Mini but for the rest it should be possible to do.
Edit: I raised this as a suggestion in the beginning of the year. It was closed with the standard message from Support.
"Thank you for your valuable feedback and continued support of WiiM products.

The app is almost perfect on your Android/Apple phone I guess, any other form like Windows, Mac, Home Assistant or whatever is not important enough for WiiM 
Still happy with my Amp

I wouldn't put all the blame on WiiM regarding the limitations of their Windows/MacOS WiiMHome Apps. Most of the Music Streaming Services (and Video Streamers for that fact too) are highly restrictive regarding their APIs and the Features that 3rd-party's are allowed to present to the Public. (Try GoogleAI: "which music streaming services lack or restrict 3rd-party api for windows")

yes first they should finish the apps for the smartphone. There are still a lot of basic functions / options missing and questionable control paths etc. but its getting better and one day it will be finished ...

The iPadOS version is better on an M series Mac.

This is what I do on my M1 MBA; works way better than the native Mac OS app.
