I rediscovered the joy of my own music collection by quitting Spotify and switching to self-hosted Navidrome.

Android or iOS?

On android I found symphonium to be a great app to use with my navidrome server. On iOS, play:sub was the best experience I found

    Symfonium is great, and in its current state, probably the best Subsonic client for android. (Tempus is good enough for me though.) But best of luck if you ever have a nontrivial issue and ask the dev for help. That's one abrasive mf. (Just take a look here. It's hard to find anyone so full of themselves.)

    That said, if it works for your needs, it's a great app. I won't judge anyone for using it, but I'm someone who can't and won't separate the art from its artist. If that applies to you, you've been warned.

    I'll check out ply:sub. Thank you for the recommendation.

    If you’re doing a search, it’s play:sub. Here is the link on iOS. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/play-sub-music-streamer/id955329386

    Also, it’s a fantastic app and I use it every day.

    I found it, however..... it's $5, which I don't mind paying for software, then it says 'in app purchases'. So my question is what are the 'in app purchases' after I lay down my $5? It does seem to have a lot of bells and whistles others don't have.

    fyi you can check what the in-app purchases are on the appstore page. just scroll to the bottom tap on the little arrow next to in-app purchases

    that makes us two lol. i remember finding that information at the bottom, but not the little arrow to actually see what could be purchased. i always thought it was weird that the info showed up twice. or they added the arrow later and i‘m gaslighting myself lol

    Arpeggi on iOS is the best I’ve found. Available via TestFlight invite only. I plan to switch to Android in the next year, so I’m always interested to hear what clients people like over there too.
