## What is Albums?

Rediscover your music in the format it was meant for: albums.

Albums is a clean, thoughtful way to browse, enjoy, and fall back in love with the albums in your Apple Music® library. No clutter. No endless playlists. Just you, the artwork, and the music.

I built Albums because I missed the feeling of putting on a record or dropping in a CD—choosing an album, pressing play, and sinking in. This app brings that experience back with modern convenience and a design that gets out of the way.

With just a few taps, you can find any album in your library, pin favorites for instant access, and double-tap to start listening.

What you'll find inside:
• Dedicated album listening: Immerse yourself in full albums without distractions, supported by a beautiful Now Playing screen
• Instant, powerful search: Find any album in your library quickly and effortlessly
• Beautiful Now Playing screen: Enjoy dynamically themed visuals with large artwork and a clean tracklist inspired by CDs and LPs
• Thoughtful, elegant design: A calm, minimal interface that highlights your collection
• Favorites always within reach: Keep your most-loved albums one tap away
• Effortless navigation: Browse your entire library with smooth, simple interactions
• Automatic Apple Music integration: No setup or syncing required—your library appears instantly and plays with the same great quality
• Complete customization: Sort your library your way and choose artwork sizes that fit more albums on a page
• Pure album focus: Hide partial albums and singles to keep your view intentional and uncluttered

Albums is always evolving, with more features on the way. If you love listening to full albums or want to rediscover that experience, this app is built for you.

### 5/5 — Only one Fix u need to do for us plz

*2026-01-18, version 2.0*

that would be could you do a landscape mode Plz and thank u other than that GR8 app thanx.

### 5/5 — Beautiful and functional

*2025-11-23, version 2.0*

As someone who primarily listens to full albums straight through, this app feels like it was designed for me. I prefer how streamlined it is compared to Apple Music, and the Liquid Glass update was really well done.

### 5/5 — App that is equally beautiful and essential

*2025-11-17*

I love how this app lets me delve deeper into my library and helps me rediscover albums I had forgotten about. Every pixel is intentionally placed and designed making it incredibly fun and easy to use. I am 100% a huge fan.

### 5/5 — This is the one

*2024-09-26, version 1.2*

10+ years ago there was a simple and beautiful app called “Albums” with a similar concept: pick some favorites, play them with one tap. Then it disappeared. I’ve missed it ever since - so much so that I’ve periodically browsed the store just hoping another developer would take a crack at it. A few have, but no one’s nailed the elegance of the original until now. 

This one nails it - and substantially improves on that concept without compromising the simplicity and immediacy that made its predecessor great. Every detail and interaction is polished, natural and intentional. 

This thing was clearly made by someone who loves music and listens to albums. If that’s you as well, it’s your lucky day.

### 1/5 — Album library app

*2023-12-05*

This app is no different to the apple music app that is free and pre installed on most i phones.Complete waste of £3.99.I instantly requested my money back.

### 5/5 — Convenient and beautiful.

*2023-03-09, version 1.1*

This is the first 3rd party app I’ve ever added to my dock, that should be enough o understand how great this app is.

### 5/5 — So glad this exists

*2023-02-21, version 1.0*

I was a big user of one of the apps that served as inspiration for this one. It matches the way I listen to music perfectly. I’m so glad I found it. We should all be very thankful for indie devs who find these niches!

### 5/5 — Adds a whole new dimension to my music collection

*2023-02-09, version 1.0*

I love the design and function of this app. It works beautifully with my synced music library (I don’t use the Apple Music service) and I love having the ability to heart albums—it’s like leaving a few of my current favorites out by the record player so I can put one on on a whim. And once I’ve overplayed it, I can just put it back on the shelf and make room for more. Very well done!
