Narjo

I was fortunate enough to start using Narjo just after it came out of test flight. It’s a gorgeous interface with plenty of customization and tuning for playback and UI. The dev is SUPER responsive to feedback and feature requests (I requested a small feature and it was shipped within 72 hours!). Narjo isn’t without its bugs (it’s still a newish app), but the community and UX far outweigh any small gripes I have.

Use this app for sometime before rating. Few areas I didn’t understand how to app works at the beginning but it has a healthy Discord to support. For those given 1 star rating, I think they didn’t understand this is an app to access a self hosting music library. If you don’t know what it is, don’t buy the app. And a 7 days to try it out and found it is not a good fit, then give a low rating is unfair to the developer. Noticed when offline, album artwork, playlist and switch account become lost. Even I specifically requested to download a number of audios. So, I can’t listen to and view everything I have downloaded when I am on the plane. It is heavily rely on online access which works very well.

I've been fortunate to be part of the beta and have seen this app evolve over the last few months. The developer is attentive and quick to fix bugs and offer support. It's great to see a music app the not only Plex but Emby and Jellyfin too. It also supports subsonic servers such as Navidrome, so users of different server types have a single goto music app. The UI for iOS and CarPlay is clean and easy to use, which I also appreciate. Well worth the cost IMO.
