Tempus is an open-source and lightweight music client for Subsonic, designed and built natively for Android.

This app works with any service that implements the Subsonic API, including:

note app-tempo* <- The github release with all the android auto/chromecast features

app-degoogled* <- The izzyOnDroid release that goes without any of the google stuff.

As usual, any dev contributions appreciated as I am not actually a java/mobile dev, so my progress is significantly slower than those who do this on the daily.

Big thanks to all the folks who have been contributing.

    Still, my biggest problem in this app is UI. I really hope some nice UX changes come around soon seeing as functionality side is so advanced in comparison. Still I thank thr devs for all the love and work they put in it!

        Navic has the best UI/UX in my experience. Too bad it is unstable AF when it comes to large libraries.

        • you cant pull down the player on cover image
        • you need to scroll all the way to the top of the song queue to swipe down, and back button closes the queue AND player. I found out you can pull fown if you pull over the drop shaped “+” button which is not obvious at all, and it still sometimes closes the player too.
        • in Home in the corner there is a three button overflow menu icon, but when pressed only option is settings. Why not just make it a gear icon to begin with?
        • same thing with build-in equalizer when in player
        • why does sleep timer has to have 7 presets + end of song + custom? I belive 3 presets + end of song + custom is more than enough. I mean how much time are we saving here?
        • in downloads option for changing view type from artist/album/track… uses a filter icon even though it is not doing any filtering. Sort would also be nice for most recent, but that is more of a feature request
        • When downloading a song the download icon next to it doesnt apear untill you refresh it (sometimes?)

        This is more personilized now but UI looks dated. Before switching to Subsonic I used a client called InnerTune and may be controversial but in terms of looks Tempus for me is clearly a downgrade, and so do say my friends I showed it to.

        Now I listed just the UI stuff I dislike, excluding what I like. Hope this clears it out. :3
