### 5/5 — Easily my favorite Navidrome client

*2026-05-25*

This is great! It’s super clean, intuitive, and full featured. The CarPlay is excellent. The app is super responsive and the settings are easy to access. Nice! Keep it up!!

### 5/5 — Best client

*2026-05-25*

I have tried many and this is the best iOS client for self-hosted Navidrome server. Clean interface. Gapless play. Supports multi-library selection. Supports different transcoding profiles based on whether the connection is on wifi or cellular network. Supports CarPlay.

### 5/5 — Perfect for Navidrome!

*2026-05-24*

This app is seamless and runs perfectly. Played around with a few different Subsonic clients and Arpeggi had everything. I think the best part is the total control over the app. From layout to cache size I feel the developer didn’t hide anything behind the curtain.

One addition I’d like to see is download management. When I download multiple playlists all the songs are bunched together under downloads. So if I’m on the plane and I want to hit my downloaded sleep playlist I can’t.

Thanks for all the hard work on this!!

### 5/5 — Just fantastic.

*2026-05-21, version 1.1*

Arpeggi makes Navidrome feel at home on iOS. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Finally a beautiful app for navidrome

*2026-05-20*

Play: Sub users, this is how the ui should be handled. And free!

### 5/5 — genuinely amazing

*2026-05-18, version 1.1*

the one navidrome client that isnt buggy and has liquid glass support! the ui direction is very good.

### 5/5 — Perfection!

*2026-05-18*

Recently switching from Apple Music to self hosting this app is exactly what I was looking for! I tried most of the navidrome compatible apps in the store and none of them felt quite right, I can finally end my search.

### 5/5 — Flawless

*2026-05-17, version 1.1*

I've been testing multiple subsonic apps for my Navidrome server, and arpeggi has blown me away. The client runs as smooth as any paid streaming client I've used and it's jam packed with features. Looks gorgeous, UI is intuitive, runs great, has gapless playback, multiple shuffle modes, autoplay built in, I'm genuinely over the moon!

### 5/5 — Best client ever!

*2026-05-16*

It’s so nice to see it finally have a stable 1.0 release!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-05-15*

Been super great so far, it has a very apple music inspired design. Love that it can auto fetch lyrics!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-05-11, version 1.1*

Best IOS client for subsonic/navidrome simply by virtue of handling multiple-genre-tagged albums and also radio stations. Thank u dev ❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Like no other

*2026-05-05*

Impossibly good. Can’t recommend enough. Tried ‘em all, now I don’t need any other.

### 5/5 — The best, by far.

*2026-05-04, version 1.0.1*

I’ve been testing play:sub, substreamer, amperfy, and flo waiting for this app to get out of TestFlight. The wait was worth it. This is the best client to pair with my navidrome server. Lyrics fetching, sharing with a custom expiration on the link, simple but powerful ui, CarPlay support, AirPlay, and the list goes on. 

My only complaint is the share link is missing the download option and the synced queue seems a bit glitchy at times. But I understand these are new features being worked on so they’re mostly a non issue. I’m just so stoked to finally have a stable platform that lets me leave Spotify for good!

### 5/5 — Works with navidrome

*2026-04-30*

Super clean UI! Start your self hosting journey with this client

### 1/5 — Does not support Airsonic.

*2026-07-30*

Unusable with Airsonic (which supports the Subsonic API), gives an error about incompatible Airsonic REST protocol version, but every other subsonic client seems to work fine.
Update: developer has responded claiming that the Airsonic api is incompatible, but that is not true, Airsonic was derived from Subsonic and is still compatible with the API. And every other subsonic client I’ve tried (and I’ve tried a LOT) works just fine with it.

**Developer response:** Update three 29/7/2026 - the reviewer has edited his review again. The fact still stands that this is an OpenSubsonic compatible client and Airsonic does not comply with the OpenSubsonic spec. Airsonic is deprecated and hasn't been updated in years. If the reviewer isn't just trolling, I would expect that he/she would remove this review since it serves no purpose.

Update two 25/7/2026 - after a one second google search it seems that Airsonic does not comply with the Open Subsonic spec so is not a compatible server with this app.

Hi sorry I’ve never been able to test with an Airsonic server. If I ever get the chance I will get it working. Feel free to leave feedback directly through email also if you have a way I can test on your server. Kind regards

Update 25/7/2026 - Reviewer edited the review so I am adding: Feel free to open an issue on Github or Discord.

### 1/5 — Gives an error about the API

*2026-07-26, version 1.3*

Unusable, gives an error about incompatible Airsonic REST protocol version, but I’m not changing my server that works just fine with every other subsonic client just for this app.

### 1/5 — Gives an error about the API

*2026-07-13, version 1.3*

Unusable, gives an error about incompatible Airsonic REST protocol version, but I’m not changing my server that works just fine with every other subsonic client just for this app.

### 4/5 — solid, BUT

*2026-08-28*

i just wish it supported animated album covers, that is all.

### 4/5 — Amazing for what it is

*2026-07-16, version 1.3*

Worked without much tinkering, LOVE HOW YOU CAN GET LYRICS FOR ANY SONG, Please add a feature to control the volume of the sound especially on computer, I use Mac and I can’t turn  down the volume for each app like on windows.

### 4/5 — Really good

*2026-07-02*

Honestly perfect for most scenarios I would suggest adding and eq tho

### 5/5 — Awesome music player

*2026-08-25*

Please support aac format transcode while playing.
Multi-language support such as Chinese would be very appreciated.
While add a new server, the scan process is a bit long, even though skipping is allowed. Maybe an “online type directly connected to server without scanning” is more convenient.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-07*

Would love an Apple TV version too.

### 5/5 — Does it all

*2026-07-30*

Like a DAP on my phone :)

### 5/5 — Best one so far

*2026-07-26, version 1.3*

I’ve hopped around between various Navidrome clients for iOS, and I’m liking Arpeggi the most so far. The UI is very native both in terms of look, feel, and function. I haven’t encountered any noticeable issues so far, it just works the way it’s supposed to and allows me to enjoy my local music library without unnecessary bells and whistles. Huge thanks to the developer for sharing their work of this app for free.

### 5/5 — Best music client for Navidrome

*2026-07-12*

Decided to get rid of that expensive Orange music subscription. And this definitely makes one feel like at home

### 5/5 — An excellent Subsonic client

*2026-07-07, version 1.3*

I’ve been looking for a good iOS Subsonic client since I moved my music library to Navidrome but have been constantly disappointed by a lack of polish on everything I tried.  Not anymore!  Arpeggi is super nice to use and I’d say the best option out there for what it is.  Really good app!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-06-22*

Honestly the only iOS client that is both functional and aesthetically fit with other apps from apple ecosystem. Other features I wanted would be integrating api to download animate artwork and aac transcoding.

### 5/5 — The best Navidrome app

*2026-06-18, version 1.2.1*

Free and full of features that are paid on other apps.

### 5/5 — How the heck is this free?

*2026-06-17*

This is one beautiful app. Thank you for all your hard work and letting us have it for free!

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-05-29*

Simply the best. It has CarPlay support. I can connect to my homelab Navidrome perfectly!!! 1000/10.
