This app works with any service that implements the Subsonic API, including:
- LMS - Lightweight Music Server - personal fave and my backend

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.

Obligatory 4.20 nice
TIL Tempus ≠ Tempo
Yeah, Tempo hasn’t had any updates in a while. I used it originally, but moved to this fork.
You patched the annoying “crash-on-start” bug! 😍 I was collecting diagnostics to help nail it down, but you guys were faster. Keep up the great work! 👍👍👍
I’ve been getting a lot of help lately so the community support is what is making it better.
thank you for this project
i use it since 3 weeks and i love it.
after i setup my music server i was a bit lost… but this musicplayer with android auto is so good
Hopefully google doesn’t block android auto access in the near future.
Love tempus, it’s my main navidrome client on mobile. Thanks for all the great work!
Glad to hear it!
Looking forward to trying this out. Been using Symfonium for its android auto support. Glad to see another Navidrome supporting client with android auto capabilities.
I love Symfonium
My friend, I am a daily user of tempus and it is amazing.
Me too! Glad to hear it!

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!
What ux changes are you looking for?
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
Nice!
Does playback still randomly stop or jump baic to the beginning of the song?
I have this same issue. I want to love this player. I like a lot about it. But I constantly have to restart playback in it.
We have fixed several of those bugs with the latest release as I know this has been a long standing issue. We’ve found the root cause for several of these and applied patches. Depending on what version you used last, you might be pleasantly surprised.
We have patched a lot of those bugs so not sure if we found all the edge cases.
Just tried, still the same issue. After closing my phone and letting it be for 5-10 minutes, playback suddenly starts from the beginning. That is the beginning of the currently playing song I believe.
Then it’s back to Navic for me. It does a similar thing, but instead of jumping back, it just pauses.
