Subify - Subsonic iOS & watchOS Client

[ton80]

Hi All,

I've been working on a subsonic client for a little while now. I'm hoping to have the application released in around a month. I'm currently working on the "Now Playing" screen and the apple watch interoperability.

I've attached a few screenshots below, the UI is heavily based on Spotify. If you have any suggestions or anything you'd like to see in an iOS client let me know!

I have plans to add a search function, local caching, equaliser & a lyrics view

Oops, that's what I get for being lazy. I've updated to public links.

Is there a need for a watch app? I once thought so and did viewtopic.php?f=8&t=17442 this thread.

Unless you can improve upon the experience.

I think with the upcoming (beta) version of WatchOS, some interesting capabilities are becoming available for 3rd parties...
As far as I can see Apple has opened up so proper audio playback is accessible to 3rd party apps, making it possible to make a watch app that is able to function standalone, without the phone being nearby.
For some use cases that would be very interesting.

So IMO the watch is getting more interesting as a platform than ever before.

Also: watch app or not, another Subsonic client app would be very welcome.

Yeah it's my understanding there will be a lot more to play with in terms of playing directly on the watch. As far as I'm aware only the apple music app does it but I hear Spotify have plans to release a watch application, hinting towards a change.
