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 it’s too basic and doesn’t play any of my flacs.

Flawless AirSonic Client

This app is incredible and simple … 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!
