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!

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….

Absolutly great!

Best mpd controller and player ever!

Almost There

So far it seems like almost everything works as expected, however I cannot get the local playback from an http stream to work. It connects fine but there’s no audio or option to choose output.

So a great app for controlling mpd but I’ll need something else to listen to it

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the review! In case you have troubles setting up local playback, we strongly suggest to: 1. Have a look at the local playback configuration guide on our webpage: https://mpdpilot.app/help/#4-how-to-configure-audio-streaming-for-local-playback 2. If you still can't resolve the issue, don't hesitate to write to us at support@mpdpilot.app, including information about steps you have taken and details of your MPD server configuration and iOS device. We're more than happy to help. The app is intended to unify both controlling and listening to MPD, and with the appropriate configuration, most users experience success. We are here to ensure you do as well!

Приложение.

Здравствуйте, у меня почему то виснет плеер zishan d1 при использовании этого приложения.

Response from developer

Здравствуйте, пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами по адресу support@mpdpilot.app и предоставьте больше информации о вашей конфигурации.

Доделайте пожалуйста!

Добавьте сортировку по артистам, названию песен, альбому в очереди. Добавьте рейтинги в виде звездочек. Почему нельзя выбрать несколько треков сразу из плейлиста и добавить их? (Например «выбрать» и «выбрать все»)

Love it

Quick to set up, decent feature set and love the inbuilt play stream so it’s a perfect remote mp3 player.

N.

Nice UI, good local stream integration - so actually everything I want. But barely useable without «Premium».

Great app

i use it to play moode audio on my rpi5.

Осторожно Аудиореклама!!!

После очередного обновления, аффтор этой програмулины решил внедрить аудиорекламу которая проигрывается в середине прослушиваемого вами трека(если включено прослушивание на телефоне).
Ну чтож аффтор лови кол, заслужил.

Response from developer

Спасибо за отзыв. Мы понимаем, что такое изменение в локальном воспроизведении может вызывать раздражение. Спасибо, что поделились своим мнением.

Ruined by ads

This app used to be the best mpd client on iOS, but a recent update added obnoxious audio ads that interrupt songs. I understand that the developers need to make money but there are ways to do ads that do not interrupt the audio stream (especially not halfway through a song). This app is basically unusable now unless you are willing to pay for a subscription.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that the introduction of audio ads has been frustrating, and it's important for us to clarify that these ads help support ongoing app development and maintenance costs, including the App Store fees that we've covered ourselves for the past four years. Your acknowledgment of our app as the best MPD client on iOS means a lot to us, and we are committed to balancing a great user experience with the financial sustainability of the app. We truly appreciate your support and encourage users to consider the subscription option, which helps us continue delivering a high-quality product. If you have any suggestions on how we could enhance your experience, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@mpdpilot.app. We value your input and are always looking for ways to make MPD Pilot even better for everyone.

Easy to use MPD client on iOS platform

UI is professional and presentation is good. I am happy using it

Best MPD Controller by far

I’ve used a few of these MPD controllers, and this is the best I’ve found…. so far. Work’s brilliantly on my old iPhone 8.

The best choice for MPD

The app can be used for free and actually I have not met any bugs yet.
Design is fashionable and all the necessary functions are involved.
Why not download and have a try?

Excellent app. Thanks so much.

This is a very good and useful app. I have had a lot of problem looking for a suitable app to play music on my Chord Mojo/Poly combo. This solves all the problem. My hats off to the developers.

Best free MPD client

Solid app!

Having queue management problems

I’ve started having queue problems, like I select “replace queue and play” but it doesn’t clear the queue. Sometimes I have to manually clear the queue before I can play something else. Was working fine a year ago, it unusable now. Not sure if problem is MPD Pilot or my MPD server.
