Almost there!
Pulling the cover art from the metadata is probably the only issue I’ve found so far. UX is clear and simple. It just works! This app should be the defacto recommendation for all Chord Mojo/Poly users!
Excellent
Happy to pay a reasonable subscription
It’s a simple & clean interface
Only thing missing is a watch version

Really well done app for a great price.
The author is very responsive to problems and suggestions.
All apps should be this good!

brilliant Roon replacement
Rigelian is an intuitive, well-supported macOS app (and companion iOS app) that I've been using to control my mpd-based music library and stream internet radio stations. Thanks to Rigelian I will be cancelling my Roon subscription, which is overkill for my needs, less user-friendly, and now costs $120/year. Rigelian costs less than $6/year and has provided trouble-free performance and great sound quality. Highly recommended!

Fantastically functional with Chord Poly!
I bought a Chord Poly a few years ago and, while it was easy to use as a Roon end point or an Airplay streaming client, my experience of it as a DNLA sever (reading off the micro-SD card slot) was awful.
I have tried both Glider and 8PlayerPro, the performance was patchy even on a shared network let alone using the phone as a Wi-fi hit spot.
In desperation I started researching MDP players on iPhone and this is the first I tried.
Finally! A flawless, fluid and robust experience using the internal SD card as the data source.
This is a modern and good looking app that not only works simply, reliably and quickly, but to me is a 100 times more functionality rich than those DNLA apps I mentioned.
I never bother writing app reviews, but was so delighted by my experience that here I am doing one after submitting a 5 star rating!

Beautiful.
A slick and polished experience. Not like any MPD app I have ever used.
For Chord Poly+Mojo, probably the best choice
The Chord Poly+Mojo sounds best to me when playing off the internal SD card, but the user experience has never been great because I’ve found the other UPnP/MPD apps I’ve tried to be finicky, buggy, ugly, or clunky. Very pleased to have found Rigelian, for me it’s much, much closer to the ideal experience. The only main drawback so far is the inability to pull my own album art off the SD card in the Poly, but from what I gather this is partly a limitation with the early version of MPD still used by Chord, rather than a problem per se with Rigelian. Let’s hope Chord can update this, and in the meantime I’m using Rigelian with enthusiasm, and a decent amount of album art is already coming in more or less okay for me via the online matching options. I would highly recommended this over other options for lovers of the SD card in Poly/Mojo (and presumably now the Chord 2go + Hugo 2 combo).

Great with moode
The moode web interface is pretty good, the one this app gives is so much better. If mode is working auto discovery and wnd playin music in minutes
Subscription, cost is cheap, less than 1p a day. If this enables new features and big fixes the I am all for it

Wonderful
I’ve tried several MPD clients before and they couldn’t cope with a large library - this is pretty much perfect.
Solid mpd client
Works nicely on iPadOS, both as a full-screen collection browser and as a slide-over controller.
