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 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!

Excellent App for Subsonic Nextcloud Music App

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

Works great

The authentication issue was very quickly resolved. Now the app works again in full splendor with the Nextcloud Music app. Thanks!

Response from developer

a new version that fixes the problem has just been published

Mit dem neuen Feature noch toller

Ich kann die App jedem empfehlen, der seine eigene Musikdatenbak über beispielsweise Subsonic oder ähnlich online abspielt. Einfach gut.

No longer works

Stopped working with latest update. Can not cache songs. Choppy playback. Random crashes.

Works good with Nextcloud

This is a nice little app! It works well using the music plugin in nextcloud.
It would be nice to be able to have bigger covers. If you click on „lyrics“ the cover gets a bit greater, but it could be a lot more to my taste. Also it would be nice to be able to configure the look of the GUI. But given the fact, that it doesn‘t cost you more than to acceppt some ads, it‘s great. But i chose the option to remove the ads. Thanks for this!

No features

You cant do anything in this app

some flac have no sound

Some flac can play, some not. And all flac above 3000kbps failed to play

Couldn’t get started

Reported error 400 trying to connect to my Subsonic server.

Copied and pasted the URL from the settings into a browser, and iSub,and both connected perfectly, so I’m sure it was correct.

Anpache geht nicht

Funktioniert mit der aktuellen Ampache Version 3.8.2 nicht. Verbindung mit Server funktioniert wird nich aufgebaut, aber es werden aber keine Songs, Alben etc. Geladen.

Nice app

Works well with ampache server.
But when setting random order and going forward one song, it goes to the next song instead of pick the next random song :(

Works with Booksonic!

Now I can listen to podcasts and audiobooks on iOS!

Simple is excellent

I love the app. If you are looking for an app to simply play your music from your subsonic server, look no further. It's not flashy, but who needs flashy to effectively listen to music. It handles my 4K+ artist, 100k+ song library easily. I tried several other apps for subsonic and none of them worked. I think it's because they were too focused on showing album art and other stuff that affected the ability to just work. This app doesn't get clogged up trying to download album art or other stuff that doesn't matter-- it focuses on allowing me to simply play what I want. Keep up the great work!

Best Subsonic mobile client

This is (still) the best mobile client for your Subsonic server. Reliably connects to your server. Gives quick access to your content. Plays it with great sound quality. It's almost perfect. Wish it had a way to browse by album. Maybe in a future release.

If I could, I'd give it zero

So, for a long time I've had Soundwaves and it worked great, if a little slow. Suddenly it stopped working because it's doesn't have a secure connection, and I'm really annoyed. I've reconnected to the server and deleted the app several times, and it's still not working. Am I doing something wrong? I really want to have this music, but it won't let me play anything.
I do not recommend this app, at least not today. If they let out an update or something to fix this, I would recommend it because there are no other apps on the App Store that appear to work. I've tried all the free ones.

Simple and easy to use

The only thing wrong with it
It's devours my battery like it was the souls of the innocent. But 5 stars if they fix that lol

Great basic subsonic app.

This is a great free app for streaming your music from your subsonic server, just wish it had an eq.
