What's New in Mobile MA

4.4

October 30, 2026

New in version 4.4 New • Optimized for iPhone Duo: closed, Mobile MA is the iPhone app you know. Open, you get the large layout with a sidebar, and Now Playing shows player and queue at a glance. Fold and unfold whenever you like – your view stays put, and artwork and grids line up with the hinge. • Favorite player: pick a favorite under Settings › Playback or right in the players view (star). When you start music in the app, it counts down briefly (3 seconds, adjustable) and playback begins on that player. Tap Stop and choose as before. • New first run: on first launch, Mobile MA guides you to your server in four steps, whether at home on Wi‑Fi, via your own address or through Home Assistant Link – or as a guest with a code, or with your access from iCloud. If something fails, the app tells you why and shows the error log on request. • Confirmation before deleting: removing tracks from playlists, connection profiles, DSP presets, bookmarks, alarms and other delete actions now ask before anything disappears. • Music Assistant 2.11 (beta): your device now registers itself as a player with the server – permanently and encrypted, with nothing to set up. Status in the app: “Encrypted and paired”. If it doesn't happen automatically, go to Settings › Playback › Pairing Token. Fixed • A pause from another client (web UI, Home Assistant, Mac app) stops the local player immediately instead of playing on for a few seconds. • Search: the search field stays in place after closing the cover view from a podcast. • CarPlay: the favorites chooser can always be dismissed with “Cancel”, and a failed favorite is briefly reported – including the reason, for example “no connection”. • Connection: after a drop the app reconnects once instead of several times in parallel; commands no longer get lost in that moment. • Diagnostics: the recording now also logs library commands (favorites, played marks) with their outcome. • Sign-in: with a wrong password you land right back at sign-in instead of the address. • Continue Listening: audiobooks and podcasts now pick up at the saved position even when the server starts from the beginning – the app checks after the start and jumps there itself.

Good app with potential

Good for Smartphone but badly optimized for Tablet. You have to scroll on the left bar to even see the player entry button. Very inconvenient to go to next track. Otherwise pretty good app with potential. As of now there are no good alternatives for apple as far as I know

Response from developer

Dear MP 48275, Thank you for the honest feedback – and you are right: on the iPad, Mobile MA still mostly scales the iPhone layout, and the sidebar makes you scroll for the Players entry. That is exactly what I am working on next: a review of the whole iPad layout is under way, with a proper sidebar order, better use of the wide screen and a Now Playing view that stays reachable. Two things that help right now: expand the mini bar at the bottom edge (tap the small handle) – it shows the current player with play/pause and next track on every screen, including the iPad. And in Now Playing, swiping the cover skips to the next track. If you tell me which iPad and orientation you use, I can make sure your case is covered – support@mobile-ma.app, I read every message. Warm regards Sven

Features sind hinter paywall

Ist nicht besser als Web Oberfläche

Response from developer

Hallo DerErfinder123, Danke für Ihre Rückmeldung. Bibliothek, Suche, Wiedergabe und Player-Steuerung sind kostenlos. Unlimited ist ein Einmalkauf ohne Abo (mit Familienfreigabe) und schaltet das frei, was die Weboberfläche nicht kann: Multiroom-Szenen, CarPlay, Apple TV und Widgets, dazu Siri und die Apple Watch. Alle Funktionen lassen sich 7 Tage kostenlos testen. Mobile MA ist ein inoffizieller Client und will die Weboberfläche nicht ersetzen, sondern Music Assistant dorthin bringen, wo kein Browser ist: ins Auto, auf den Fernseher, ans Handgelenk. Wenn Ihnen etwas Konkretes fehlt, schreiben Sie mir gern an support@mobile-ma.app. Beste Grüße Sven

Très complet, très pro

J’apprécie la richesse fonctionnelle et l’expérience utilisateur ainsi que la fiabilité et la robustesse. J’apprécie le déploiement multi plate-forme en un seul achat et surtout, c’est rare, l’app sur Apple TV. Bravo pour ce super boulot.

Response from developer

Bonjour Kcofoni, merci beaucoup pour ce retour – l’Apple TV est justement l’une des raisons d’être de Mobile MA : amener Music Assistant là où il n’y a pas de navigateur. Un seul achat pour iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV et Apple Watch, c’est voulu, et ça restera ainsi. Si une fonction vous manque, écrivez-moi à support@mobile-ma.app, je lis chaque message. Bien cordialement Sven

Great so far

I like this app so far. I went ahead and unlocked all the features and it has worked very well. My only disappointment so far is that it disconnects from the server if you put it in the background or let the screen lock.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and for unlocking Unlimited – that means a lot to a one-person project. About the disconnects: when Mobile MA only remote-controls your players, iOS suspends the app shortly after it goes to the background or the screen locks, and there's nothing an app can do to stay connected in that state. What we can do is reconnect as fast as possible when you come back, and that's an area we keep working on with every release. If you play music through the phone itself (the built-in local player), iOS keeps the app alive and the connection stays up. If reconnecting feels slow or unreliable for you, I'd love to hear the details – your Music Assistant version, whether you connect at home or remotely, and roughly how long the app was in the background. You can reach me at the support address on https://www.mobile-ma.app/en/support/. Thanks again for the feedback! Warm regards Sven
