You cannot get it from Apple App Store in this stage because I have no an Apple developer acccount.

iPhone WebApp

Known Issues

  • Socket connection issue
    Websocket may be closed when the App becames inactive

  • Cannot support the cue file
    MusicBee Fly cannot well support the cue file because the MusicBee plugin interface doesn't support it.
    Suggest to use CUE Splitter(can get it from Miscrosoft Store) to split the single track as multiple tracks.

  • WebApp cache problem
    iPhone WebApp may eccounter some problems because it depends on auto cache of Safari, if the WebApp doesn't work, you may try the following approaches,

    • Delete MusicBee Fly from main screen, clean the Safari cache, and re-add the WebApp

    • Suggest to add the url http://musicbee-fly.tracemouse.top as the WebApp because the url will be always online.
