About this app

The official mobile player for Koel (https://koel.dev), the open-source self-hosted music streaming service. With Koel Player you can connect to and stream your music from your own Koel server. Koel Player supports most of the features found in the web-based version:

- Queue and play music
- Like/unlike songs
- Manipulate playlists
- View lyrics and media information (especially if the server Koel instance is integrated with Last.fm)

In addition, Koel Player allows caching music for local playback. More features are planned.

Ratings and reviews

I thought it was a bit steep for 11 dollars, but after seeing how polished this app was, I take it back. This is preferable to the web player by a long shot. My only complain is that we can't edit songs or artists or albums (Covers, titles, etc) as far as I'm aware. To the creator, I suggest you look at Oto music for some feature inspiration if you haven't already. Great app, keep up the great work.

Everything about Koel as a platform is great, but this app seems to be fairly new, with lots of bugs. On my device (Oppo R15 Pro) it rarely plays a file when you attempt to, but a few minutes later will start playing it. Or it will keep playing music even after you've closed the app, and only stop when you open and close a 2nd time. The interface looks great, and works great when it does work!! But for $17AU it just isn't there quite yet. Fingers crossed we get these kinks out!

Much better than expected. Only a few things I need to truly switch music apps. Please consider adding widgets and and option to sync a local version of the music library (download all songs and new songs as added.) The app itself also seems to be slow, even when playing downloaded songs

What's new

* Fixes a bug where fetching random songs to play wasn't so random
