### 5/5 — The best!

*2020-06-21, version 3.8*

Лучшее приложение для MPD. Активно развивается. Автор оперативно реагирует на предложения. Поддерживает Chromecast и AirPlay устройства. Абсолютно бесплатно. Не ищите другие приложения. Смело качайте. 5*.

### 5/5 — Прекрасно

*2020-05-22, version 3.4*

Прекрасно! Спасибо!

### 5/5 — great app

*2020-05-03, version 2.9*

please add dark theme!

### 5/5 — Underrated MPD Client

*2020-04-23, version 2.8*

Font is much more readable on iPhone than Soundirok.  Swiping action to add songs to queue is very sure.  This is the only app I am aware of that displays time length of all songs in the queue.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2020-01-04, version 2.2*

Had been relying on iSH and ncmpcpp until now, thanks!

### 5/5 — Fehler nach 3Tagen behoben. . .

*2019-12-28, version 2.2*

Großes Lob an den Entwickler. Fehler ruckzuck  behoben. Tipptop. Der beste Mpd Client für IOS. Danke

### 5/5 — Excellent mpd client

*2019-12-03*

Works really well on my phone. Thanks!  Seems to have complete features as well, multiple servers, change outputs, volume on volume buttons, even replaygain control...  good looking interface also.

### 5/5 — Gutes Design, und funktioniert

*2019-12-01, version 2.0*

Besonders gut: Sortiert nach Ordnern.

### 5/5 — Good MPD client

*2019-08-11, version 1.5*

This client is free and works well. I do have minor problems with the app, however.

The font isn’t great. It’s readable enough, but it should be changed, or configurable.
The search tab doesn’t seem to include all files, it seems to only search metadata, which makes sense. In the files tab, the search bar looks for file names instead, so includes everything.
There is no way to remove individual items from queue, there are only options for clearing the queue.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2019-05-21, version 1.3*

It plays all the files on my Poly’s SD card including DSD, and it’s free and it hasn’t glitched or crashed yet. What’s not to love? Can’t find another MPD app that gets close on value.

Only 2 things about the Chord Poly experience have made me smile so far. One was finally getting the damn thing to play a track (and it did sound amazing, but that is a Saturday afternoon I’ll never get back). The other was finding this app. 

If I’d have found this first I am not sure I would ever have stuck with getting playlists and Quickplay working. And I can’t hear any sound quality difference between the methods. 

Thanks again.

### 1/5 — Кринге

*2026-02-26, version 6.7*

Для 2026 года интерфейс не всратый, он архивсратый. От слов «археология» и «архаика». И да, по умолчанию он портит поток от Snapcast и просто глушит звук. Необходимо что-то там отключить в настройках типа синхронизации с системным уровнем звука.

### 1/5 — Not for Noob

*2022-07-14, version 5.4*

I couldn’t add my server, no step by step instructions.
Not fot Noob

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2019-06-17, version 1.4*

When selecting a playlist the item selected is removed from the file system and it is not played.  After losing two playlists I deleted the app.

### 3/5 — Неплохо

*2024-03-03, version 6.4*

Но почему нельзя поменять шрифт. Этот очень мелкий.

### 4/5 — playlists

*2021-08-24, version 4.9*

there is no option to edit playlists 

update1:  Thanks for the dev reply, yes u can add/delete songs from playlist but there is no way to reorder

update2: Thank you, adding an option to reorder would be great, also you may consider adding and option for repeat a single song or the whole list, these options are there already in other apps

Thank you again!

### 4/5 — Useful MPD client

*2021-02-28, version 4.7*

Any plan to support cue sheet?

### 4/5 — Good Functionality, unique UI logic

*2019-11-04, version 1.9*

Good functionality for free MPD client.

Can be improved for sure

1- Album art too small,  no full screen mode, kind of odd UI style compared to Apple Music  style 

2 Album view text too big, album icon too small,

3 No album grid view

4 album art download slow and easily hangs

### 4/5 — Just the job

*2019-06-02, version 1.3*

Only giving 4stars for no dark theme. 🤭

### 5/5 — Everything just works except ...

*2025-06-08, version 6.7*

Fantastic MPD client and faster to navigate than using a web interface. The one thing that I haven't gotten to work is the download of album art. While the web interfaces such as myMPD have no trouble displaying artwork, this app is likely expecting to find this in some other location. I'd love to get that to work someday, though it's functionally not needed;-) Great job!!!

### 5/5 — Absolutely excellent

*2024-01-28, version 6.3*

I have no real complaints about this app. Does exactly what it should, doesn't collect user data, and it's free. I would like to have a different font, not huge on the italics everywhere but that's so minor. I would also like to see integration with a free service for album art downloads for missing local files, since I manage my library with a tagging application that sorts into directories based on tags which leaves behind cover.jpg files, however even this isn't needed. It just sounds like I have my own coding project to take care of on my computer.

### 5/5 — Great MPD client

*2022-12-01, version 5.7*

This is a wonderful app. I can sit back and browse my album collection, seeing all the album art as I do, control the music queue, the volume, display album art from the current album, etc., etc. Thanks very much to the developer!

### 5/5 — Super

*2022-10-07, version 5.5*

Super um meinen headless raspi damit zu steuern

### 5/5 — At last…

*2022-07-31, version 5.4*

…one that works with my Chord Poly. Thank you Richard. 31 July 2022.

### 5/5 — Thanks for app!

*2021-12-27, version 5.1*

It’s work, it’s free, it’s easy to use! Great job, thanks you a lot!

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2021-12-24, version 5.1*

Awesome! Many thanks for application!

### 5/5 — Apple watch please!

*2021-02-08, version 4.6*

Excellent RC for my mpd server. Please add support for apple watch and I’m 100% happy!

### 5/5 — it does what it needs to do and it’s free

*2021-01-10, version 4.5*

IMHO the best MPD remote you can find on iOS.

### 5/5 — Fully functional mpd client.

*2020-11-07, version 4.3*

Thx for this!
