### 5/5 — Very Satisfied!! Great app!

*2026-05-27*

AirScrobbler has been exactly what I was looking for. I use it to scrobble my vinyl record plays directly to Last.fm, and it works beautifully. I did run into a small issue at first, but after exchanging a few emails with Tom, the developer, he put in a lot of time and effort to quickly resolve everything. The app now runs perfectly.

It’s absolutely worth purchasing if you’re looking for a reliable scrobbling app. Huge thanks to Tom for creating something so useful for vinyl listeners (& others) and for staying on top of updates to keep everything running smoothly.
Thank you!

### 5/5 — FINALLY the perfect app it always wanted to be

*2026-05-15*

To make a long story short, this app has been “in the works” for a few years now.  I use this app to scrobble audio from my record player.  For years now, the struggles have been almost too much - wrong songs registering, the app freezing, illegitimate/scam songs registering - it was a lot.  The recent updates have fixed virtually all of these issues; namely the “block” features, as well as the much improved auto-scrobbling.  

DON’T TOUCH IT IT’S PERFECT RIGHT NOW THE WAY IT IS.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and your patience! I’m stoked to hear that the app has been working great for you after the latest update

### 4/5 — The only hope we have in Russia

*2026-05-11*

It’s okey. It doesn’t scrobble right all the tracks, and works pretty lame in auto mode as after a while it just turns off. But I love the setting of auto-eliminating featuring artists. Also I noticed it works only with European ip-adresses / нормально. Не скробблит все треки, и плохо работает в автоматическом режиме, так как просто выключается через некоторое время. Но мне нравится настройка по удалению из названия приглашенных артистов. Также заметила, что работает только с европейскими ip-адресами.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for taking the time to write a review. I see that you’re having issues with auto match, so I’d appreciate if you reached out at support@airscrobble.com so I can learn more about what’s going wrong on your end and find a fix for it. Thanks for using AirScrobble!

### 1/5 — Key feature does not work well

*2026-04-21*

Auto scrobble or continuous scrobble barely works. It frequently grabs the wrong track, also does not continuously scrobble like the name suggests. You constantly have to toggle it on and off to remind it to keep listening. It also doesn’t work with your phone asleep.

If you wanted to set it and forget it as a way of scribbling any CDs or vinyl, forget it. This app will not serve you.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for taking the time on writing this review. I’ve just released an update which should fix the issues with continuous listening getting stuck. I’d appreciate if you give the update a try and let me know if it works! If it does, I’d be grateful if you could update your review as well!

Thanks,

Tom from AirScrobble

### 3/5 — A few fixes to make it 5 stars

*2026-04-02*

I use this app with YouTube music so I’m not sure about other services. I think the design is good and the manual scrobbling works great. I like the lockscreen widget they added so I can quickly view and access the app. My main issue is the autoscrobble. It has an error or just stops working over half the time. I still pay the yearly subscription because I think it’s worth it even with just the manual scrobbling. If the developers can figure out how to fix the auto (which I’m sure is challenging, I don’t know anything about that stuff) I would give the app 5 stars. Thank you for the app, last.fm is the best and I’m grateful to have an easy way to track songs I listen to on my phone.

**Developer response:** Hey there, thanks for taking your time on writing this review,

I’ve just released a new update which includes some improvements to the Auto Scrobble feature. I’d appreciate if you could give the latest update a try and let me know if it works for you! If it does, I’d appreciate if you’d consider updating your review! Otherwise, feel free to reach me out through the support options so I can take a second look

Thanks,

Tom from AirScrobble

### 2/5 — New update slowed down scrobbling

*2026-03-26*

Ever since this new update came out, having to select auto match has been incredibly slow that could last for minutes. Beforehand this wasn’t an issue. I don’t know if this was software bug or something wrong on my end. If you get the chance, please fix this because this is eating up my iPhone 15 Pro’s speed

**Developer response:** Hi there,

I’ve just released a new update which fixes some performance issues with Auto Match! Make sure to try out the latest version (1.14.1) and let me know if you see any improvements! If it works, I’d appreciate if you’d consider updating your review, otherwise please reach me out through the support options inside the app so I can take a second look

Thanks,

Tom from AirScrobble

### 2/5 — When it works it works, but this is very infrequent!

*2026-03-22, version 1.13.0*

Auto matching often fails meaning it needs to be toggled off and on again. On top of this after the scribble countdown (at any setting) the app throws a “an error occurred cancelled” message up and ceases to scrobble. Logging out and back in doesn’t solve it. Not worth the subscription for this so trial cancelled.

### 4/5 — terrifically useful

*2026-01-07*

I use this very often while driving around listening to CDs on my 00s car stereo. I’m happy to hear of a fix for app-in-background scrobbling as I did notice that tracks seem to be ignored when the nav app is in the foreground (if that’s not what that was about, never mind!). The only real annoyance is a tendency for hallucinations now and then. Really off the wall tracks that I would never listen to. I am forced to monitor and remember to push the button as I can’t let it scrobble automatically without having an autistic freak out, editing my scrobbles on last.fm while driving down the freeway.

But that’s probably happening behind ShazamKit. If only there were a way to configure the temperature to be more like it is with Shazam, where you occasionally get failures but almost never an hallucination.. Would make an awesome user configurable parameter if it exists!

### 1/5 — V 1.12 Is Significantly Less Useful

*2025-12-18*

I have been using AirScrobble for nine months, and I have really appreciated that it could match songs played while using headphones. This was a unique and useful feature. AirScrobble was truly a great app. 

However, with the 1.12 update, this feature seems to be no longer available. Unfortunately this makes the app all but useless for me.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for taking the time on writing this review. Unfortunately this restriction is due to an issue introduced on an iOS update which is preventing the app to work in the background while listening to songs from system audio or headphones. You can still recognize those by listening to a song at a time with the app as a workaround for now, but I know that not might be ideal for all scenarios

I’m working with Apple on trying to find a solution for reverting this change soon, so I’d appreciate your patience in the meantime

### 2/5 — Useful for manual scrobbling, but auto scrobbling is buggy

*2025-11-28*

Pretty good app for manual scrobbling, but auto scrobbling just isn’t worth the subscription. Often, it’ll fail to even detect that the song changed. I’m only using the free trial, so I don’t think I’ll subscribe until these issues are addressed. After all, auto scrobbling is supposed to be the selling point of the subscription.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for taking the time for writing this review. I've just submitted a fix that patches the app not identifying and scrobbling songs in the background. I'd appreciate if you could update the app and give it a try. If everything works out, I'd love if you could also update your review, but if you still have any issues, feel free to reach me out at support@airscrobble.com. Thanks!
