Works with Nextcloud!

Works with Nextcloud music App

Nice fine music player

Works fine with Nextcloud. Simple, but it plays Music and works.
Note that you need a special app password directly from the Nextcloud Music app settings.

There are better apps for free

I appreciate the effort of getting this on the app store but itโ€™s too basic and doesnโ€™t play any of my flacs.

Flawless AirSonic Client

This app is incredible and simple โ€ฆ perfectly integrates with subsonic/airsonic instances, searching is reliable and fast, playlists work flawlessly, and the system caching works very well while on spotty LTE / mobile connections. Very good!

Excellent App for Subsonic Nextcloud Music App

Great app for subsonic music app servers. Works great and well supported by the developer.
