Having to pay for everything is tacky

I get what it’s like to be an indie developer because I am one. But this is just too extreme of a paywall. I found about idk two useful features without paying most of which I already knew. People use apps like these to know the nitty gritty details about their library and limiting the app to what people already know just gives a bad vibe.

Response from developer

Thank you for your insights as a fellow indie developer. Balancing the need for sustainable development with user accessibility is always challenging. In the case of Song Infos, the freemium model—offering essential features for free and more advanced options through subscription—is a way to support ongoing improvements. It's an interesting contrast to some free Apple Music stats apps in the store, which, perhaps due to lack of financial support, haven't seen updates in a while. Your feedback is valuable, as it helps in refining this balance, ensuring the app remains useful and evolves over time. Your perspective in this shared field is greatly appreciated.

Update

Will there be any future updates on how accurate songs are being counted on and will there be any new features?

Response from developer

Thank you for your interest in future updates for Song Infos! Yes, I'm actively developing the app with regular updates, ranging from significant enhancements to smaller improvements. Stay tuned for more updates!

It has potential

This is a very good app and seems like it could be very cool if you didn’t have to pay for literally everything that makes it a cool app. Other than that it’s nicely organized.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review of Song Infos. In an ideal world, everything would be free 😅 I strive to offer valuable free features while keeping the more advanced, premium ones as a way to support ongoing development. Your input is really appreciated, and I'm glad you like the app's organization!

All premium

I downloaded this app because I heard you could track your plays on individual songs (which for some reason you can’t do on Apple Music on your phone). Within minutes of opening the app, I see every useful feature is locked behind premium. Basically the only thing it lets you do without paying $4/month is listen to music, which you can’t even see any info about the song. Though of course you have to own the song on Apple Music, since that’s how the app works. I see no reason to download this app if you don’t intend to pay anything. Maybe if it was a one-time purchase for like $5-10 I could see it being worth it, but these features are not worth a monthly subscription, especially since you’re already paying for Apple Music.

Thank you for trying out Song Infos and sharing your thoughts. I'd like to clarify that the app does allow you to see information about the music you're currently listening to, including play counts and skip counts, even without the premium subscription. Regarding the pricing model, there is actually an option for a one-time purchase alongside the subscription, however not for $5-10. The reason for offering a subscription model is to ensure continued support and development of the app. A one-time payment model priced at around $10 would require a significantly larger user base to sustain active development. Thank again, as your feedback is important, and it helps in assessing and improving the app's value proposition.

Chart Suggestion

I want to suggest line charts for top artists or song of the week.

I'm always open to hearing more ideas to improve the app, so please feel free to share any other feedback you may have in the future. Thank you for your support! 🤝 Original message: Thank you for the suggestion, I will add it to the roadmap and try to implement it in the future :)

You have to pay to enjoy

You basically have to pay to enjoy the app, I can only look at my top artist and the top album, and to look at your other top artists or albums you have to pay for premium which i get the app needs money but don’t block everything off to the point where you can only see your top artist and top album. But other than that the app is good I guess🤷🏻‍♀️ i don’t really know because like i said before you have to pay to see everything. Thank you

Prevent sleep

I like this app. But, phone screen locks after a min and not useful when driving. Please add an option in settings to prevent screen sleep/lock.

Response from developer

Thank you for providing feedback on Song Infos! 🎵 Your suggestion to add an option to prevent the screen from sleeping or locking while driving was very helpful. 🙌 We have added this feature to the More tab, and we hope it will make Song Infos more useful for you and other users who have experienced the same issue. We appreciate your input and value your contribution to the improvement of Song Infos. 🤝 If you have any other suggestions or feedback, please do not hesitate to let us know. 💬

Suggestion :)

Can we have a tab for our most played songs of the past week / month / year? I have to use another app for that information but it’s not as accurate as this app is when it comes to song plays

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback on Song Infos! I'm happy to hear that you find the song play data accurate. 🎶 I greatly appreciate your suggestion for a tab that shows your most played songs of the past week/month/year. It's a highly requested feature, and I'm actively working on adding it to Song Infos. However, it requires a significant amount of work to ensure that the statistics recorded are reliable and accurate, so it may take some time to release the feature. ⏱️ I want to assure you that I'm doing my best to make this feature available as soon as possible. Thank you again for your support and for helping me improve Song Infos! 🤝

👍

really cool app I use it fairly often, nothing to complain about.

Stat Suggestion

Can I suggest implementing a stat the tells the average number of plays a song per artist?

For example, I have 26 Eminem songs for a total of 1546 plays. This stat would give an average of about 59.5 plays.

This could be said for whatever album you look at.
