Sonora vs Sound Room

Sonora is a polished Navidrome client for iPhone that brings your self-hosted music library anywhere. Browse artists, albums, songs, and playlists with a fast, clean interface built for everyday listening.  Search your collection in seconds, stream your personal library on the go, and enjoy a music experience designed to feel simple, smooth, and native on iPhone. Sonora is built for self-hosted music lovers who want their own library without giving up a great mobile experience. Your music. Your server. Your way.

Modern Subsonic client with shared listening, multi-account support, and deep customization. Features include Jam(synced playback), shared queue, theme and layout customization, multiple server support, and a fast, responsive music experience. Now optimised for iPhone, iPad and MacOS. Multi Account: now use app with multi account and multi server. JAM: LISTEN TOGETHER (OUR SIGNATURE EXPERIENCE) Start a Jam, share a jam link, and keep everyone on the same queue with synced playback. Built for listening parties, road trips, and “you have to hear this” moments. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your music does not pass through the Jam service. Audio files and your server credentials stay between your iPhone and your Subsonic-compatible server (such as Navidrome). The Jam server does not receive your library, passwords, or audio. WHAT JAM SHARES The Jam service only coordinates the session, room membership, who is in the session, and playback state. YOUR LIBRARY. YOUR SERVER. Sign in once and browse your collection. Sound Room does not include music or hosting. You need a Subsonic-compatible server you own or use (for example Navidrome or another), and valid credentials. Features depend on your server’s capabilities and configuration. LISTEN WITH INTENTION Stream with queue, shuffle, repeat, a full Now Playing experience, and lyrics when your server provides them. When streaming quality is set to original, Sound Room is built so lossless and high resolution playback from your library can flow smoothly; full, detailed sound without the app getting in your way. What you hear still depends on your tracks, server, and network. Optional transcoding is there when you want to save bandwidth. When metadata is available, Now Playing can show codec or format details. SHARE Share: long-press a song or tap the share button on any album, artist, or playlist to copy a link. Share: links open the app directly and play or navigate to that content. Share: songs and albums also support a Subsonic server link anyone can open in a browser. YOUR MUSIC, ORGANIZED Explore Home, Library, and Search: songs, albums, artists, genres, years, playlists, favorites, and shortcuts like recently played, most played, and recently added. OFFLINE WHEN YOU NEED IT Download tracks for offline playback. Manual downloads and auto-cache are clearly separated, with storage limits, progress, and batch actions so Downloads and Cache stay under control. TUNED TO YOU Adjust audio (including optional transcoding), library behavior, appearance, and Jam settings so the app fits how you listen. Sound Room Pro adds subscription management in Settings, a clearer paywall and “What’s included” style overview, and storefront-accurate pricing for subscription products where the store provides it. MAKE THE LAYOUT YOURS Pick an accent color for a consistent look across the app. Customize Home and Library (which sections you see and their order). Reorder main tabs and choose which tab opens on launch. Settings are grouped for account, appearance, playback, and library and storage so everyday changes are easier to find. ARTISTS AND SEARCH Richer artist browsing, optional song lists on artist screens, sharper artwork where your server allows it, and better behavior when the server merges multiple artists (including choosing which artist page to open). Open artists from tracks with smoother navigation. Search prioritizes songs, then albums and artists, when you are hunting a specific track. IMPORTANT Sound Room does not include music or hosting. You need a Subsonic-compatible server and valid credentials. Features depend on your server’s capabilities and configuration.
