    Android or iOS?

    On android I found symphonium to be a great app to use with my navidrome server. On iOS, play:sub was the best experience I found

      Second for Symphonium. Hands-down best *sonic client.

    • Symfonium is great, and in its current state, probably the best Subsonic client for android. (Tempus is good enough for me though.) But best of luck if you ever have a nontrivial issue and ask the dev for help. That’s one abrasive mf. (Just take a look here. It’s hard to find anyone so full of themselves.)

      That said, if it works for your needs, it’s a great app. I won’t judge anyone for using it, but I’m someone who can’t and won’t separate the art from its artist. If that applies to you, you’ve been warned.

      On iOS, ply:sub was the best experience I found

      I’ll check out ply:sub. Thank you for the recommendation.

          I found it, however… it’s $5, which I don’t mind paying for software, then it says ‘in app purchases’. So my question is what are the ‘in app purchases’ after I lay down my $5? It does seem to have a lot of bells and whistles others don’t have.

            The “in-app purchase” is a donation page where you can donate extra to the developer if you want to. It’s 100% voluntary and doesn’t unlock any extra or additional features. I’ve never donated anything beyond the $5 purchase price.

            fyi you can check what the in-app purchases are on the appstore page. just scroll to the bottom tap on the little arrow next to in-app purchases

                that makes us two lol. i remember finding that information at the bottom, but not the little arrow to actually see what could be purchased. i always thought it was weird that the info showed up twice. or they added the arrow later and i‘m gaslighting myself lol

        yeah for iOS ply:sub is the way to go. my friends and family who use my Navidrome server and have iphones all use ply:sub. Android friends use Symfonium.

        Nope. You can buy an infinite trial via the developers ko-fi!

        There’s info about it on the symfonium forum.

          I’ll rephrase lol it’s per device, so any issue or reflash means you have to contact?

          • 3 months

            Yeah, you will have to send the dev the new trial ID for a re-activation.

            That’s also why it’s costs more, because it’s more manual work for him.

            It’s a chore, but really cool by the dev to offer it as an option for people with de-googled devices.

              Thanks! I agree that its cool of him to offer that, just a bit painful on all sides 🙂

      Arpeggi on iOS is the best I’ve found. Available via TestFlight invite only. I plan to switch to Android in the next year, so I’m always interested to hear what clients people like over there too.
