Amperfy Music

Works fast, looks nice and doesn't crash

This is legit the most atrocious music app I’ve ever used. Idk how they managed to screw up the next button but they pulled it off

All cached files are being included in my phone’s iCloud backup which is maxing out my cloud storage. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

I loved Amperfy, I have been using it for quite a while now to listen to music off my Navidrome server. It’s been great, the interface was clean and simple, and everything worked how I expected/wanted it to. Last night there was an update that I ran, and now this morning I see what it was. Now if I go to my albums and hit shuffle, it doesn’t just shuffle all my music like it has since forever, no, now it picks a random album and only plays music from that album. I had to add the Songs tab to my homepage and I have to shuffle everything from there. Also the playback menu has changed and has way more unnecessary buttons and things I never asked for nor cared to have. I thought Amperfy was going to be my sole music app for my phone, now I guess I have to start looking for a new one. Maybe I’ll just go back to Plexamp.

I had high hopes for Amperfy, it was the cleanest looking subsonic client app I’ve come across on iPhone, but it is completely useless with the size of my library (70-80 TB) Even after background sync reached 100% (which took a couple days), the app is unusable with every tap taking 15+ seconds to respond. Running on newest iPhone and iOS, Navidrome

I love this app but it will not work with CarPlay :( it’s there, but none of my music shows up in any menu. I can pick out single songs with Siri and they play, but that’s it. I want to use this app and the SubSonic ecosystem but a huge requirement for me is getting it all to work with CarPlay since that’s how I’ve done most of my listening with Plex currently (which I’m trying to replace)

i really like the design, but the fact that you cannot order albums by the date they were added is a dealbreaker for me. i find it very strange that there is a separate screen for latest albums, and it only shows the most recent ~20 albums.

Unbelievably, this is the only application that works with Apple CarPlay. The major problem is there is no “Recently Played” album category, which is a major drawback. I wish it had this. If it did, I would give it five stars.

using it with navidrome

A perfect application for handling my server’s music library.
