Не плохо 👍

Пол дня по ходил прослушивая музыку в целом мне нравится. Но есть одно замечание буферит через два три трека mp3, FLAC, без разницы. Интернет LTE вроде стабильный. Со стороны сервера и прокси обратного все максимально оптимизировано путем добавления заголовков. Обратите внимание на это пожалуйста. А так пока на первый взгляд все нормально еще бы добавили заголовок идет тримминг или кэш.

Almost perfect tvOS client

The app is beautiful, snappy and offers just about everything I expect from a tvOS client. The only thing that’s a probably a bug is, on the Library tab, the sub-tab (Albums, Favorites etc) cannot be reached via navigation. It skips to the selection instead, so it is basically impossible for me to explore the library that way.
Overall, great app

Response from developer

Thank you, 'almost perfect' is a lovely thing to hear. Reaching the Library sub-tabs (Albums, Favorites and the rest) on Apple TV should be effortless, and that navigation is getting steady attention right now. NaviBeat is in very active development, with new TestFlight builds going out almost every day, so these improvements land fast. The beta is open at navibeat.app if you want them early, and support@navibeat.app reaches me directly. Thanks for describing it so clearly.

Красивая картинка, кривая реализация

С стороны выглядело как ультимативное решение для задачи работы на apple tv, в реальности крайне не удобный, не логичный UX, специфичный UI, много кривых элементов и спорных дизайн решений. Багов с запасом, пользоваться поиском невозможно, вернутся из части меню невозможно, радио не удаляется, и таких моментов очень много. В общем и целом разочарован, своих денег не стоит.

Response from developer

Спасибо, что нашли время написать. Вы назвали конкретные вещи, поиск, возврат из некоторых разделов меню, удаление радио, и именно такие детали помогают мне быстро всё улучшать. NaviBeat очень молодой и активно развивается: новые сборки в TestFlight выходят почти каждый день. Напишите мне, пожалуйста, подробнее на support@navibeat.app (можно по-русски), особенно что в навигации на Apple TV показалось нелогичным, и я этим займусь. Спасибо, что дали шанс платному приложению.

好用,可惜手表版有容量限制

有可能让手表下载超过2.2G的歌曲吗?

Response from developer

谢谢你的支持,很高兴你喜欢它。关于 Apple Watch 的下载容量,能把 2.2GB 的上限提到多高,正是我正在积极研究的问题。NaviBeat 还很年轻,更新非常频繁,几乎每天都有新的 TestFlight 版本。如果你愿意,可以发邮件到 support@navibeat.app,等这方面有进展我会告诉你。再次感谢你给一个付费应用机会。

Terrible functionality

Wish I could give it less than 1 star

Response from developer

I would really like to turn this around. NaviBeat is very young and in active development, with new TestFlight builds going out almost every day, so whatever went wrong for you is likely something I can fix quickly. Could you tell me what specifically fell short, the part that did not work or got in your way? Reply here or email me at support@navibeat.app and I will take it seriously. Thanks for giving it a try, and I hope to earn a second look.

Cumbersome design

Somewhat bizarre navigation design on tvOS. Navigating through your library “artists” or “albums” requires selecting the library tab first, instead of being a normal menu item. Then if you play an album, you are kicked to the “now playing” menu and have to navigate back to library to browse other items. Why would you not just stay in library tab like every other media player?

Response from developer

Thank you, this is genuinely useful. Reaching the Apple TV library the way it works today, and getting sent to Now Playing after starting an album, are fair points, and tvOS navigation is getting steady attention right now. NaviBeat is very young and in very active development, with new TestFlight builds almost every day, so this is exactly the kind of thing that improves fast. If you want to go deeper, support@navibeat.app reaches me directly, and the beta at navibeat.app gets the changes early. Thanks for taking the time to spell it out.

Very great!

Every update is meaningful to an already well designed app. It’s clearly a labor of love and it shows. Excellent.

Response from developer

Thank you, 'labor of love' is exactly what it is, so this one made my day. Meaningful updates are the whole point: NaviBeat is in very active development, with new TestFlight builds going out almost every day, and every release carries real fixes and features, not filler. If you ever want the newest work early, the TestFlight beta is open at navibeat.app. Thanks for taking the time to write this.

Excellent Software

Apps works super quick to browse and view your library. Simple to figure out and use. Music plays fast and the UI looks great.

Response from developer

Thank you, this means a lot. Fast browsing and a clean, simple UI are exactly what I am chasing, so I am glad it shows. NaviBeat is in very active development: I push new TestFlight builds almost every day, with fixes and new features going out constantly. If you ever want the newest stuff early, the TestFlight beta is open at navibeat.app. Thanks again for the kind words.

Great Navidrome App!

It isn’t perfect but is by far my favorite app for macOS that connects to Navidrome. At the time of writing the app is still super new and I’m confident the features it lacks will be added over time — what exists currently works great. Worth the price.

Response from developer

Really appreciate this, and you are right that it is young. Your confidence is well placed: I work on NaviBeat seriously and ship new TestFlight builds almost every day, so the gaps you see now are getting filled fast. If there is a specific feature you are missing, email me at support@navibeat.app and it goes straight onto the list. Thanks for backing it early.

Amazing app for navidrome music library!!

I don’t leave many reviews for apps. This app is great. I just downloaded it today, but I love its UI/UX. It has great touches like shuffling only liked music! I have tried free navidrome client apps and they are okay, but trust me, you will not regret paying for this. I haven’t tried it with car play yet, but I hope it works with it and shows the app icon in car play, if it doesn’t I hope the developer gets that added soon. Keep up the great work!

Response from developer

Thank you, reviews like this genuinely keep me going. The little touches, like shuffling only your liked songs, are the fun part to build. Good news on CarPlay: NaviBeat supports it, so give it a try. I am in very active development and push new TestFlight builds almost every day, so anything missing tends to land quickly. Enjoy, and thanks for taking a chance on a paid app.

Un bon début

Bonne application dans l’ensemble mais qui souffre de quelques lacunes par rapport à la concurrence. Certaines choses dans l’interface peuvent être contre intuitives, l’absence d’une option de téléchargement automatique pour des playlists (à chaque fois qu’une playlist est mise à jour, les titres ajoutés ne sont pas téléchargés automatiquement, il faut aller dans la playlist et le demander à chaque fois). C’est dommage car il y a des fonctionnalités intéressantes sinon.

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup pour ce retour, il est très utile. Le téléchargement automatique des nouveaux titres ajoutés à une playlist est une excellente idée, et certains points d'interface peuvent en effet être plus intuitifs: ce sont des choses sur lesquelles je travaille. NaviBeat est en développement très actif, je publie de nouvelles versions TestFlight presque tous les jours, avec des correctifs et des nouveautés. N'hésitez pas à m'écrire à support@navibeat.app pour en discuter. Merci de soutenir l'app !

It’s perfect

Everything works perfectly, UI is slick. Love it!

Response from developer

Thank you, that is wonderful to read. A slick UI is something I sweat the details on, so I am happy it lands. NaviBeat is in very active development with new TestFlight builds almost every day, so it will only keep getting better. Enjoy the music, and thanks for the review.

Connects perfectly

Works exactly as it should. I can’t believe how long it took to find the app in the App Store. Apple seems to be burying one of the best apps for Navidrome. Works on each device perfectly, I’m able to easily use it with TailScale as well. Definite purchase in my book! Thank you!

Response from developer

Thank you, this made my day. Tailscale and every-device playback just working is exactly the goal, so I am glad it does for you. You are not wrong that it can be hard to find, so word of mouth like this genuinely helps. NaviBeat is in serious, near-daily development, with new TestFlight builds and features going out constantly. Thanks for the support, it really matters.

Promising, but needs a couple of features

The integration with Last.FM is very interesting and the availability in every device with one purchase is great. But the app misses a couple of key features IMO: more customization options (at least for the Home tab items), connecting to more than one server and cache options on mobile devices.

Response from developer

Thank you, and great feedback. More Home customization, multi-server support, and cache controls on mobile are all things I hear often, and they are noted. NaviBeat is in very active development with new TestFlight builds almost every day, so requests like these get real traction. Email support@navibeat.app if you want to add detail to any of them, and the TestFlight beta at navibeat.app is open if you want features early. Thanks for the thoughtful review.
