There have been about 20 next navidrome/etc compatible apps released this year and that's great! Love all the choice. Took me a while to compare what they all offer and landed here. Updated often, buy-once pricing model, nice UI, supports the services I need easily, tons of control over caching/download settings. Supports all the devices and CarPlay. 🎉 I do have two pieces of feedback: The mini player on my iPad doesn't have any padding on the left and right side and it kind of clips off the UI. This is in iOS 26.6 12.8 iPad. Looks good on my phone. Second, I'm not a big fan of the app icon/coloring, would be nice to have some more options. ### 5/5 — Outstanding self hosted player! *2026-08-15, version 1.7.0* I was fortunate enough to start using Narjo just after it came out of test flight. It’s a gorgeous interface with plenty of customization and tuning for playback and UI. The dev is SUPER responsive to feedback and feature requests (I requested a small feature and it was shipped within 72 hours!). Narjo isn’t without its bugs (it’s still a newish app), but the community and UX far outweigh any small gripes I have. ### 5/5 — Amazing Developer and App *2026-08-15, version 1.7.0* I’ve been using the App for months and so far is been great and developer responds quickly when there is a Bug to be fix. I love the Lock-screen animated Webp Artwork It makes the app unique! and so many customizations… KEEP IT UP! ### 3/5 — Bien mais des bugs bien relous *2026-07-29* Dans l’ensemble c’est probablement l’app compatible navidrome la plus proche d’Apple music qui existe sur iOS. Mais cependant je rencontre des bugs occasionnels : des fois la musique suivante se lance, mais avec le mauvais pitch (soit trop grave, soit trop aiguë). Il suffit de faire précédent une fois pour que le titre se joue normalement. Parfois l’app ne lance aucun titre. Impossible de jouer un seul morceau disponible. Des fois l’application crashe sans prévenir en pleine lecture. ### 5/5 — Do you have your own music server? This is the app to host it! *2026-07-27, version 1.6.7* The app is amazing it has all the features you want in a music app! ### 5/5 — superb *2026-07-26* This has all the functionality I need and is under very active development with features and updates delivered regularly. Well worth the fee ### 4/5 — Almost … *2026-07-21, version 1.6.5* I would give it 5 stars IF I could find a way to “clear” the player. There is simply no option … ### 5/5 — Best music player on the App Store *2026-07-06, version 1.6.5* Finally purchased the app and switched from the beta. Definitely worth it imo. There’s an insane amount of customization, features and polish. The UI is gorgeous, the app is very stable and works flawlessly. I’m very grateful the dev went with a one-time purchase option. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app full features *2026-07-01, version 1.6.0* Use this app for sometime before rating. Few areas I didn’t understand how to app works at the beginning but it has a healthy Discord to support. For those given 1 star rating, I think they didn’t understand this is an app to access a self hosting music library. If you don’t know what it is, don’t buy the app. And a 7 days to try it out and found it is not a good fit, then give a low rating is unfair to the developer. Noticed when offline, album artwork, playlist and switch account become lost. Even I specifically requested to download a number of audios. So, I can’t listen to and view everything I have downloaded when I am on the plane. It is heavily rely on online access which works very well. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-06-16, version 1.6.0* I love the all the functions on the app, one of the things that surprised me is that you can add motion artwork that can be viewed while the phone is locked (little Big details). The developer listens to reviews and releases updates promptly. 5 stars ***** ## Frequently asked questions about Narjo ### What music servers does Narjo connect to?
