First of all, thank you to the developers of this project for their hardwork. I quickly went through the process of connecting to my Navidrome server and want to share my experience. Hardware: I am using an iPhone 13 on ios 18.Review: Preface, I am on an earlier version of this app. Take my review with a grain of salt. That being said, this client does everything it needs to and well. This is a good, stable client for the majority of users and that is a good thing. It does however, make it a bit of a boring option when compared to alternatives offering more features. I would daily drive this app, and I wouldn’t mind recommending it to less technical users.

Doesn’t work for any codec not compatible with iOS

It doesn’t trigger the transcode on the server side (at least not in navidrome), so if you got a codec not compatible with iOS, it won’t ask the server to transcode, and you won’t be able to listen to that song Other apps work, so it’s just the way this app handles the request That said, this app is wayyy more polished and looks way better than most subsonic apps there (and allows for song list, many subsonic apps show just albums and artists) Would be good to have the app ask the server to change the codec on the fly to mp3/flac so iOS can play it… And would be awesome to get support for the radio stations already set up on the serverEdit: CarPlay just shows recently added songs/artists/albums and favorite songs/artists/albums but there isn’t a way to see all your collection

I just started using this with my Subsonic server. It works great! It handles my 4K+ artists and 90k+ songs very well. Nice user interface. I really like the way it supports creating and managing an active playlist/ song queue, and allows for adding or removing songs. Some of the clicks don’t give feedback (e.g. when clicking a song to add to play next queue, it doesn’t give an indicator that it was added). Overall this is a great player for subsonic and I’ll be using it a lot. Thank you!

Update ruined it for me

I loved Amperfy, I have been using it for quite a while now to listen to music off my Navidrome server. It’s been great, the interface was clean and simple, and everything worked how I expected/wanted it to. Last night there was an update that I ran, and now this morning I see what it was. Now if I go to my albums and hit shuffle, it doesn’t just shuffle all my music like it has since forever, no, now it picks a random album and only plays music from that album. I had to add the Songs tab to my homepage and I have to shuffle everything from there. Also the playback menu has changed and has way more unnecessary buttons and things I never asked for nor cared to have. I thought Amperfy was going to be my sole music app for my phone, now I guess I have to start looking for a new one. Maybe I’ll just go back to Plexamp.
