What's New in NaviBeat

1.5.5

October 16, 2026

NEW IN THIS VERSION Popular songs. A flame in front of the track number marks up to three popular songs on each album. Settings, Popular songs picks the source: your server (the default), Last.fm, ListenBrainz or Off. The Now Playing widget works away from home and in Offline Mode, using your downloads. A radio station shows the song it announces, with that song's cover. On the small widget the play button sits in the bottom right corner. Home: Now Playing on This Server shows what others on your server are playing. It is off; turn it on in Customise Home. Listening Stats work without a Last.fm account and show Most played on your server. They open at once from a saved copy. Shuffle Mix, Songs Shuffle, genre shuffle, CarPlay, Siri and the Shuffle Library shortcut never start on the song that is already playing. Siri's "play music" keeps out what you excluded from shuffle. CarPlay: New picks is the first tile of Random Picks. Crossfade: songs played in order from one album are not crossfaded. Shuffled playlists still crossfade. Album names dim their version part, like "[2019 Super Deluxe Edition]", with the Dim version text switch. Manage Playlists: with Recent Playlists shown, the full list has its own Playlists header. Refresh Lyrics in the song menu asks your server again for the lyrics. Airsonic Advanced servers connect. FIXED iPad on iPadOS 17: signing in no longer freezes on the Connecting screen. Downloads, Search and Home in Offline Mode stay quick with thousands of downloaded songs. A downloaded song whose clock ran on past its end moves to the next song. Mono MP3 albums play the next song from its first note. Get Info no longer shows Bit Depth 0 for MP3. And many smaller fixes.

The best navidrome client I have found

I tried a lot of the free open source options for navidrome clients. All lacked features or couldn't handle downloading a 5k track libray. Navibeat is totally worth the price with features no other app has, more reliability and an active, responsive developer continuing to make improvements. I can't recommend enough.

Made for navidrone

So far really nice player. Really like the one payment thing.

More features than any other

Ok, I was harsh last time, but now the app has stabilized. It is unparalleled. At this point, thereโ€™s no downside to moving off Spotify into owning your own library. Itโ€™s got everything Spotify does, and none of the dark patterns.

What I appreciate the most is thereโ€™s been no churn: features added, new UI introduced, but nothing moves unless you ask it to. Truly great.

Response from developer

Nothing leaves the phone by itself. NaviBeat collects no data and sends no reports, so a log exists only when you make one: in Settings > Troubleshooting turn a channel on, do the thing that fails, then tap Prepare log and Send log, and it goes only where you send it. That is a privacy choice, and it stays. For the rest, write to support@navibeat.app with what failed and the Version line from Settings > About, and each one gets an answer from me. New TestFlight builds go out almost every day.

Cross-Platform Loving

I bought Navibeat thinking I would just be using it on my phone. Next thing I know it has become my go-to music player on Mac too, and itโ€™s even better on the bigger screen. Consistently impressed with the quality of Navibeat and the effort this developer has put into building a fantastic cross-platform experience. Wholly recommend.

Response from developer

Thank you :) Good to hear the Mac app turned into your main player too. If you want new things before they reach the App Store, write to support@navibeat.app and I will add you to the TestFlight beta.

Always improving

This is a solid client for my Navidrome server, and the best part is the developer acts on feedback and bug reports quickly - feature requests are considered by a voting system, and bug reports are acted on and replied to in a very reasonable time frame. Very happy with Navidrome on iOS and tvOS both!
