User reviews

Best MPD Client for the iOS/Mac Ecosystem

I’ve tried every MPD client out there, from the terminal, to web-based, to cross-platform, to others written in swift and purportedly Apple-native. MPD Pilot is better than all of them for my use case of setting up an old iPad as a single-app controller. It has every feature I need, plus an excellent local playback feature, with experimental snapcast support. Free version works great but I’m also quite happy to support the dev for their excellent work!

Response from developer

Thank you very much for the review and support. I’m glad to hear the app has been working well for you. More improvements are on the way.

Was nice until they got greedy

I have used this app back when it was free. I have a few mpd servers so the multi account was a really nice feature. I understand the need to make money and they moved to a pay app. Which was fine. I could control what I had set up. Now I see they have locked out all my setups accept the one I was using the most. So now if I want to control another server I had already setup in this app it is now locked out as a premium feature. You could have at least let people use it as it was setup That would have been nice.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. We understand why this was frustrating. During the transition to the premium model, previously configured multi-server setups remained usable for some time, but that access was part of a temporary transition rather than a permanent unlock. We understand that losing access later could feel like something you already had was taken away, and we appreciate you sharing that perspective.

paid app

paid app is bad, get rid of it

Лучшее из всех

Приятный интерфейс, лучшее из всех что есть. Спасибо автору.

Need more job

Nice design and functionality but I had to install 3 times before I could connect to my server. Ive just installed it on my wife’s iphone but I can’t connect to the mpd server as usual. Yes I have disabled the firewall but no success….
