MPD Pilot is better than all of them for my use case of setting up an old iPad as a single-app controller. It has every feature I need, plus an excellent local playback feature, with experimental snapcast support. Free version works great but I’m also quite happy to support the dev for their excellent work! -- Potatoofthesea, 2026-04-03 ### **--- "Was nice until they got greedy" I have used this app back when it was free. I have a few mpd servers so the multi account was a really nice feature. I understand the need to make money and they moved to a pay app. Which was fine. I could control what I had set up. Now I see they have locked out all my setups accept the one I was using the most. So now if I want to control another server I had already setup in this app it is now locked out as a premium feature. You could have at least let people use it as it was setup That would have been nice. -- SomeLongNameThatIsntTaken, 2025-12-25 ### ***-- "Almost There" So far it seems like almost everything works as expected, however I cannot get the local playback from an http stream to work. It connects fine but there’s no audio or option to choose output. So a great app for controlling mpd but I’ll need something else to listen to it -- benwis1, 2025-07-14 ### *---- "Ruined by ads" This app used to be the best mpd client on iOS, but a recent update added obnoxious audio ads that interrupt songs. I understand that the developers need to make money but there are ways to do ads that do not interrupt the audio stream (especially not halfway through a song). This app is basically unusable now unless you are willing to pay for a subscription. -- BigDaddy00378, 2024-12-15 ### ****- "Best free MPD client" Solid app! -- Mc510, 2024-07-20 ### ****- "Minor addition suggestion." Would be nice to have "consume mode" setting for MPD enabled. May be placed next to Clear Playlist command. Should be easy to implement, just a command sent to the server and will add more control over the queue. Just a thought. :) In general it is a very good app. I often use it and it proved to be a reliable tool for streaming with MPD. -- ve.ze, 2024-02-22 ### ***** "More features please" I want to thank you for your time to create this great app, please add more futures like, “use now playing control”, “advanced search” for example search by source ie Soundcloud or files, “like tracks”, … -- Ehsunam, 2023-03-26 ### *---- "Stuck on setup screen" Could never get beyond the server setup screen, although the connection was successful. Waste of time. Please test your apps before publishing. -- DrTebi, 2022-12-31 ### **--- "Lacking many essential features" Many features that are standard in other MPD clients are absent here, including the ability to add multiple soundtracks at the same time to the queue, as well as the ability to manage playlists. If these functionalities are present, they should not be so obfuscated that I haven’t found them yet. -- Glorious_Victory, 2022-05-27 ### ***** "Easy to use" Great one -- iaalm, 2022-02-21 ### ***** "Great easy to use MPD client" So easy! I love it! -- Mad Meower, 2021-06-27 ### ***** "Best free MPD RC" Easy to use.Elegant UI. -- zekaiwu, 2020-11-06 [View all MPD Pilot reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## MPD Pilot In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Premium Monthly Access | $0.99 | | Premium Yearly Access | $8.99 | | Lifetime Premium | $49.99 | | Rhythm Rockstar | $24.99 | | Symphony Supporter | $49.99 | | Harmony Helper | $9.99 | | Melody Maker | $4.99 | ## Apps Similar to MPD Pilot -
