User reviews

It’s pretty

It’s pretty, but it can be incredibly slow to load. It’s like it is fetching all the data every time and isn’t caching anything. It takes a lot of waiting to load thumbnails and my library. It makes it impractical to use, especially with CarPlay

Response from developer

Thanks for your comment. I get your frustration, however app does not load all data. Every request paginated to 100 items per page(artists, albums, songs, etc) so its heavily relied on your connection speed. Images also cached and only loads once when its not cached yet). About CarPlay - I get your complain and I think I can fix it(since carplay works a bit different than app on your phone) and I will try to increase image loading speed.

The best option for Jellyfin Music Server.

I’ve been looking for ages for a somewhat decent music player for my server, and this is the closest I’ve gotten to a usable player for both mobile and Mac.
