  • 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

    Hi aguacat! Thanks for going in to detail. It seems like most of those things are legacy items, (except for the sleep timer) that came from before the fork. In particular, the settings I have found as a really odd design decision. The app needed a lot of work and most of these things are have been much lower priority to stabilize, it is coming up on a year that I forked it. There may be some tickets for osme of these and if you would be so inclined, I’d be happy to have some of these open on a github issue.

      Thanks for taking your time reding trough it. I didn’t know Tempus was a fork, but that makes much more sense. Regarding opeing a github issue I prefer to not interact with GitHub out of personal beliefs, but if you have a mirror on Codeberg or GitLab I would love to contribute!

        Sounds good. I’m looking at getting my stuff over to codeberg so that will likely be in the near future.

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