### 5/5 — Great app and dev

*2026-06-03, version 1.5(01)*

I’ve requested features and had them in the app within a week. 10/10

### 5/5 — Top quality and Full Features

*2026-06-02*

This app is really polished and great features. Feature rich and fit for everyone. 
My most loved features are
- smart playlist while Navidrome provided limited option in that area. 
- multiple users login, easy to switch
- support multiple type of self hosting servers
- great navigation and many menus are configurable
- interface, you can make it as clean as you like or as busy as you need. 
- it worth the price, honestly

### 5/5 — Bester Navidrome Client

*2026-06-01*

Ich habe die Entwicklung fast 1 Jahr als Beta Tester mitverfolgt. Ist einfach super geworden. Es lassen sich sogar Smart Playlisten mit Narjo erstellen.

### 5/5 — One if the best navidrome players

*2026-06-01, version 1.5(01)*

I use this app for Navidrome and it is packed with features. $30 life time access is really worth it if you need a convenient, good looking and reliable app for all your music. Great alternative to Arpeggi, recommend to all!

### 5/5 — Just what I wanted!

*2026-06-01, version 1.5(01)*

I’ve been doing the beta for this app for months and bought it day one when it officially released. It’s everything I’ve been wanting for an iOS Navidrome app. Live LRC support is one of my favorite parts.

### 5/5 — Good Developer

*2026-05-31, version 1.5(01)*

Very customizable and flexible app, dev takes feedback seriously

### 5/5 — Worth every penny

*2026-05-31, version 1.5(01)*

This is the most beautiful app you will find for listening to music from a server. 11/10

### 5/5 — Musical choice

*2026-05-31*

A long time PlexAmp user who became frustrated with the stalled development. Then switched to Navidrome. I’ve been testing many iOS apps over the past few months and Narjo is the one that comes closest to PlexAmp. In fact, it’s taken it to the next level. The UI is gorgeous. Easily the nicest looking music app on the market.

### 5/5 — Best music app

*2026-05-30*

I really love the app :) good design and functionality. Great Dev

### 5/5 — Wonderful app with a great developer

*2026-05-30, version 1.4(01)*

I’ve been apart of the TestFlight beta of this app for a few months and it works really well. The developer is extremely responsive to bug fixes and feature improvements. The level of customization you get is unparalleled. Highly recommend for anyone looking to self host their music and wants a good iOS app to access it.

### 5/5 — Excellent Premium Music App

*2026-05-28, version 1.4(01)*

I've been fortunate to be part of the beta and have seen this app evolve over the last few months. The developer is attentive and quick to fix bugs and offer support. It's great to see a music app the not only Plex but Emby and Jellyfin too. It also supports subsonic servers such as Navidrome, so users of different server types have a single goto music app.

The UI for iOS and CarPlay is clean and easy to use, which I also appreciate. Well worth the cost IMO.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-07*

Just paid $30 and it doesn’t react to any of my inputs it just freezes upon opening what a pos

### 1/5 — Very vibe coded

*2026-06-04*

Unpolished buggy UI, glitchy animations, inconsistent design. There are MUCH better, actually premium options out there WITHOUT paying $30 or a subscription.

### 1/5 — Takes your username & password, THEN tells you it’s a subscription based app

*2026-05-29*

What a scam

### 2/5 — Potential but buggy

*2026-06-10, version 1.6.0*

Potential but buggy

### 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.

### 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 …

### 4/5 — Great App, needs some improvements

*2026-06-03, version 1.5(01)*

Feature rich and very useful, the best client for iOS. The UI lags/freezes too often though and the player keeps trying to play on top of other media sources, like when a youtube video is started.

### 5/5 — End your search here

*2026-08-19, version 1.7.0*

This is the one. 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!

### 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

### 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 *****

### 5/5 — Best app for Navidrome

*2026-06-10, version 1.6.0*

If you’re using Navidrome, and want the best client, look no further.

### 5/5 — Great App, active Development

*2026-06-10*

I have been following the development of this app from one of the first versions on and I am really impressed by the dedication that is put into it. For me it’s currently the best app to drive my Navidrome Server!
