The completely refreshed version of Rigelian for iOS and iPadOS is nearly done. After releasing the new macOS version a few months ago, I’m ready to release it to a limited group of beta testers for the other platforms.
To join the beta program there are couple of pre-requisites:
- You need to have an iPhone and/or iPad with iOS 17 or iOS 26. Note that the app is optimized for iOS 26.
- You need to be willing to install TestFlight on your device, through which test versions will be distributed.
- You understand this is beta software that may be still incomplete or contain bugs.
- You need to be willing to provide useful feedback on real-life use of the app.
- You need to be running either one or more mpd based players, or one or more OpenHome players.
- You need to respond before all the beta slots are filled.
In return you get a chance to influence (within boundaries) what the final product will look like. And you’ll be the first to experience new features:
- Localization into 13 different languages.
- Improved performance.
- More browsing options.
- A modernized UI.
