• Search runs on your iPhone across your whole library: it fixes typos and understands artist:, album:, genre: and year:, one tap away above the results. • Your iPhone and Aura on your Mac control each other on the same Wi-Fi. • Playlist folders: name a playlist Folder/Name. Drag pinned playlists into order, add songs from a search sheet, and find similar songs under every playlist. • Pitch, a semitone at a time, from Now Playing's menu. • SharePlay over FaceTime: listen together, each phone streaming from the same server. • Made For You your way: turn each mix on or off, pick its genres, choose 25, 50 or 100 songs. • Several music folders at once, sorts that stay put, a heading for each disc, animated covers. • Keep a playlist downloaded: its new songs download on their own. • Custom headers per server, for servers behind an authentication proxy. • aura:// links for Shortcuts. • Aura now speaks Chinese and Russian. • Faster lyrics, smoother animations on ProMotion screens, and many fixes.

Awesome Navidrome App

I’ve always used Plexamp for my self-hosting music needs but the connection in CarPlay never really worked well. So I moved over to Navidrome and hooked it up with Aura. Wow! It’s so much better. The app is better organized, the vibe channels are great, and best of all… solid streaming. I’m impressed!

Response from developer

Thank you so much :) I build Aura on my own in my spare time so reading that you love it made my week! Really glad the vibe channels click for you too, they’re my favourite part. If anything ever feels off, tell me; I read everything! Enjoy the drives ;)
