Barely works

Very difficult to enjoy a steady, bug-free listening session with this app, unfortunately.

Response from developer

I just released a new version which hopefully fixes most connection issues.

Pretty but poorly implemented

This was the most expensive of the iOS MPD clients (Rigelian, yaMPD, etc.) but the only one that just did not work. All I could get this to do was connect to my MPD server and list the albums. It did not list or play any songs.

Response from developer

These other clients all require a monthly subscription whereas this one is a one time payment. Regarding the bug, could you maybe open an issue in our GitHub with information regarding your setup?

Could not be happier!

Excellent, minimal clean app. Great MPD client! Even works with your MPD CLI of choice. I love the menu bar feature and agent mode! 10/10

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, I've added this in the latest update! Enable "agent mode" in the settings.
