I have been looking for a good Mac music tracker for a long, long time and finally I have found one that does everything I need it to do and does it smoothly and well. There are still some features that I think it needs, but being the best in class is enough for the five stars. One look at the app was enough for me to pay the full price.
The app is still in ongoing development and so this is my list of what it currently can't do that I hope the Dev can implement in future updates:
1. Search parsing. Currently when searching for an album, there is one search box. Putting in a generic album title like 'feelings' will net you dozens of albums by dozens of artists. It doesn't just net you each album, but each edition of each album. Similarly if you put in a prolific artist like Miles Davis, you'll have to scroll through hundreds of results. Search needs to be able to parse 'Artist', 'Album' and 'Year' at minimum.
2. Multiple Artists. Artists are currently parsed with 'First Name' 'Last Name'. However there are many artists with the same name. Just in my initial listings I have Atmosphere (2), Train (2), Espionage (4) and so on. For those three artists, the band name is 'First Name' and (2) or (4) is 'Last Name'. This means they are all listed at the top of the Artist list and messes up the alphabetisation. Then further down I have Mr. Jones (10) where 'First Name' is Mr. and 'Last Name' is Jones (10). It's an aesthetic problem but the Artist number should really be a separate parse to the names in order to alphabetise correctly in the Artist list.
3. The target market is those who still own physical media. All my music is digital. Not much of a problem as it's a tiny aesthetic in the app that can be ignored with a different view, but it would be nice to be able to log an album format as digital or even mp3 or flac, this currently isn't an option. By only focusing on physical media it might turn off a lot of customers when really, this is an excellent app for all.
4. Data export and import. One of the biggest problems I have had with media trackers is that something gets corrupted or online fails and you end up in a big mess or having to redo the entire collection. A data export in spreadsheet form and import of that backup data is always a lifesaver.
5. A minor quibble with such excellent work going into the app, but the app icon... It's not the best. Something a bit cleaner and more striking would really stand out and look nice.
Really looking forward to watching this app develop and hopefully some of these suggestions can be crossed off.
