What is Reddit's opinion of Meridian Player?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I use Meridian Player because I listen to a lot of podcasts and those podcasts will often times have commercials embedded in them. Meridian has touch screen controls which means I can swipe to the right to fast forward 30 seconds or do a short swipe for 7 seconds. There's many other swipe controls, as well, and they're all able to be customized.

Yeah, you could be right. I use Meridian Player to listen to podcasts and music on the phone. When I start an mp3 on the phone with that app I get the controls on the watch but I cannot initiate the app from the phone. If I tell the phone to play a song it opens the Google Music app. Not what I want it to do but I don't have the option to change it in the Wear app. I can only "play on phone" or use Google Music.
