Reviews of Albums

  • Playlist pinning feature is buggy

    So far, I have only been successful in putting one playlist as a widget in iOS 17.4.1. I can import others via the share button in the playlist, but when I try to put a playlist on the home screen as a widget, the widget comes up blank and tapping on it just takes me to the Albums app. It does look like playlists show up in the random widget, but I’d like to be able to have specific playlists selectable from the home screen. I’ve had this app for a while and really enjoyed having individual albums out there, but I’d much rather have playlists.
  • Great app for lack of album section in AM

    Apple Music really needs a dedicated section for full albums vs albums where you pulled a single from…

    This app fixes that and has a cool widget too! Love it
  • Great App

    Would love it if you added Playlists too (naming issues aside that it would create)!
