## What is Eavescrob?

Eavescrob is the ultimate scrobbler and reader for Last.fm with elegant design.

Eavescrob works with built-in Music app and some other apps that play music from system media library. *

With Eavescrob you can:
- View your listening history, batch edit and scrobble to Last.fm instantly
- Glance at your Last.fm profile, get statistics for various time periods and weekly listening report
- Read details about your favorite songs, albums and artists
- Discover similars and trendings for songs, albums, artists and tags
- See what your friends have been listening to, or even share your recent activities from the iMessage extension
- Love and unlove a song or share its link directly in the app
- Sync now-playing song to Last.fm automatically while Eavescrob is running in foreground
- Use Today Widget to love your now-playing song and access your Last.fm profile anywhere, anytime
- Use Apple Watch companion app for instant access on your wrist. Tap to love your now-playing song, scroll up to view your listening history, and use force touch to upload your pending scrobbles.
- Background scrobbling, landscape mode, 3D Touch support, fine-tuned animations and clean user interface without ads

* Eavescrob works partially with Apple Music streaming service, only songs that have been added to 'My Music' will show up in your listening history.
** You don't need to open Eavescrob while listening, it will compile your listening history on startup. Due to system limitation, a song can only be added to the listening history by being completely played, you can drag the scrubber to the end instead of skipping as a workaround.

Enjoy scrobbling!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-06-16*

This app has worked more or less perfectly and been that way for years. I literally just realized I have never had a problem with this app; it simply does what it's supposed to do, and I love it for that.

### 1/5 — No support

*2026-04-05*

That app got no upgrades anymore.

### 1/5 — no vale la pena

*2025-09-02, version 2.1.1*

no scrobblea las canciones si no las tengo guardadas en la biblioteca

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2025-08-23, version 2.1.1*

No registra nada, solo aparece que esta reproduciendo la canción en el momento, pero en lastfm no registra nada.

### 5/5 — Does what it says.

*2025-05-25*

I use this. Does a good job, consistently. I am also curious do you think you could add support to scrobble from the Suno music app on iOS????

### 5/5 — Does what it says.

*2025-04-29*

I use this. Does a good job, consistently. I am also curious do you think you could add support to scrobble from the Suno app on iOS?

### 2/5 — New bugs

*2025-02-21*

I’ve been happy with Eavescrob for 3 or 4 years now - they’ve been some issues, but nothing I was upset about working around. That has changed as of late
These days, it takes a much longer time to scrobble, and any time I’m scrobbling more than 2 or 3 songs at a time, it shows me that a few of my scrobbles failed… except when I check the website, it shows all of the scrobbles in place. If I forget to look (which is also more difficult - it now takes a while to check your recent scrobbles, often complete with a few error messages), it double-scrobbles, with the new scrobble being finnicky. If this doesn’t get fixed soon, I may end up switching my scrobbler

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2025-02-20, version 2.1.1*

This app hasn’t been updated in 5 years and longer scrobbles tracks.

### 1/5 — App is pretty much DONEZO!

*2025-02-16, version 2.1.1*

Though the app hasn’t been updated in YEARS (literally), it still was functional… suddenly things are not loading as they used to and it’s quite infuriating… now I must figure out an alternative…..

### 5/5 — Does what it says.

*2024-10-13*

I use this and am cremate Gil for its solid build. Dies a good job, consistently. I am also curious do you think you could add support to scrobble from the Suno app on iOS?
