UltraPod: Neo-Retro Player

About this app

UltraPod brings three separate music sources into one focused player: Apple Music, audio imported from Files, and Subsonic/OpenSubsonic/Navidrome servers. Each source keeps its own library, playlists, favorites, queue, and playback position—nothing is silently merged or handed to another player. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Apple Music: Browse your authorized library, playlists, albums, recent items, and catalog content through MusicKit. Apple Music playback requires MusicKit authorization and may require an active subscription. • Local Files: Import compatible audio such as MP3, FLAC, and M4A from Files. UltraPod reads embedded titles, artists, albums, artwork, and track information to build an on-device library. • Subsonic & Navidrome: Connect multiple Subsonic, OpenSubsonic, or Navidrome servers. Stream and search your library, or download tracks, albums, artists, playlists, and entire libraries for offline listening. ONE PLAYER FOR EVERY SOURCE Use a consistent Now Playing screen, editable queue, playlists, favorites, seeking, lyrics, four playback modes, sleep timer, and 0.1×–2.0× speed control. Browse large libraries with Album Flow, personalize the player with themes and icon packs, and keep playback close with Home Screen widgets. MUSIC WITHOUT THE NOISE UltraPod also includes optional on-device tools for photos and videos, a square camera, voice memos, notes, imported books, contacts, calendars, reminders, and workouts. These tools stay secondary to a focused music experience without endless feeds. UltraPod has no proprietary account, no ads, no third-party analytics, no IDFA access, and no tracking prompt. Protected data is processed on device unless you choose an Apple service or connect to a server you provide. Continued use of GPS in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. UltraPod uses background location only during an active outdoor workout and stops updates when the workout is paused or ended. UltraPod is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Apple Inc. Apple Music and MusicKit are used only through Apple's public APIs.

Improved iPad layout and easier access to sound settings. • Fixed iPad display proportions and control-wheel sizing, and improved landscape launch layout. • Improved orientation handling on iPad and iPhone Duo. • Added a Parametric EQ shortcut to Playback Settings for Local Files and Subsonic. EQ audio processing remains unavailable for Apple Music.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
