## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible functionality

*2026-07-13*

Wish I could give it less than 1 star

**Developer response:** I read every review and answer every mail personally, and I would genuinely like to know what went wrong for you: nenad.dev@icloud.com. The app is updated almost weekly, so there is a real chance your issue has already been addressed.

### 2/5 — Красивая картинка, кривая реализация

*2026-07-19*

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.

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв, он принят. Приложение обновляется почти каждую неделю, и большинство улучшений рождается именно из таких отзывов. Мне бы очень помог список конкретных моментов, которые мешают больше всего: напишите на nenad.dev@icloud.com, отвечаю лично.

### 2/5 — Cumbersome design

*2026-07-11*

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?

**Developer response:** Thank you, this feedback is received and taken seriously: how navigation flows on tvOS is something we keep refining with every update. If you have more notes, nenad.dev@icloud.com reaches me directly.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect tvOS client

*2026-07-20*

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

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words, and your Library focus report reached the right desk: tvOS focus behavior has been getting steady, deliberate work with every update. If you want the improvements early or have more notes, nenad.dev@icloud.com reaches me directly.

### 4/5 — 好用，可惜手表版有容量限制

*2026-07-13*

有可能让手表下载超过2.2G的歌曲吗？

**Developer response:** 谢谢你的评价。关于手表 2.2G 的容量问题，我很想了解你的具体使用场景，欢迎发邮件到 nenad.dev@icloud.com，我会亲自回复。手表端的下载功能还在持续改进中。

### 4/5 — Great Navidrome App!

*2026-06-26*

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.

**Developer response:** Thank you! You read the trajectory right: the app updates almost weekly and the feature list keeps growing. If something you miss has not appeared yet, tell me at nenad.dev@icloud.com and it joins the list.

### 4/5 — Un bon début

*2026-06-16*

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.

**Developer response:** Merci pour ce retour détaillé, il est bien arrivé. Le téléchargement automatique des playlists mises à jour est une demande notée, et l'application évolue presque chaque semaine. Pour vos autres remarques, écrivez-moi à nenad.dev@icloud.com, je réponds personnellement.

### 4/5 — Promising, but needs a couple of features

*2026-05-27*

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.

**Developer response:** Thank you, all three requests are received and written down. The app updates almost weekly and the roadmap is built from feedback exactly like this review: if you want to influence the order, nenad.dev@icloud.com reaches me directly.

### 5/5 — Excellent Navidrome client

*2026-08-07*

A fully-featured, rapidly developed and altogether outstanding client for Navidrome and other Subsonic servers. It supports everything I need on every device and the developer is kind and responsive.

### 5/5 — Не плохо 👍

*2026-07-24*

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.

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв и за детали, они дошли по адресу. Потоковое воспроизведение по LTE было серьёзно переработано, и обновление уже ожидает проверки Apple. Если что-то останется не так, напишите мне на nenad.dev@icloud.com, разберусь лично.

## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very great!

*2026-07-05*

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

**Developer response:** Thank you! A labor of love is exactly what it is, and every update will keep being meaningful. If you ever want something added, you know where to find me: nenad.dev@icloud.com.

### 5/5 — Excellent Software

*2026-06-27*

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

**Developer response:** Thank you! Fast browsing and a clean UI are exactly what the app is built around. If you ever want something added, nenad.dev@icloud.com reaches me directly.

### 5/5 — Amazing app for navidrome music library!!

*2026-06-26*

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!

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time, it means a lot. And good news: CarPlay is already there, with its own icon, browsing and an offline mode for the car. Enjoy, and if anything is missing, nenad.dev@icloud.com reaches me.

### 5/5 — It’s perfect

*2026-06-06*

Everything works perfectly, UI is slick. Love it!

**Developer response:** Thank you! That is the goal: everything just working. If you ever want something added, nenad.dev@icloud.com reaches me directly.

### 5/5 — Connects perfectly

*2026-05-29*

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!

**Developer response:** Thank you for this! Tailscale setups are close to my heart, mine runs the same way. If the app ever surprises you, in either direction, nenad.dev@icloud.com reaches me directly.
