### 1/5 — Worst $3.99 I’ve ever spent

*2026-05-27*

Downloaded this app, thinking it would be better than some other ones out there. Boy was I wrong. Yeah it has some nice features to clean up the tags a bit, but for the actual scrobbling? A complete mess. Duplicate scrobbles everywhere.

**Developer response:** Hi, I’m happy to look into any issues you’re encountering. Feel free to submit a post on r/FastScrobbler, and I’ll do my best to help.

### 4/5 — its good!! BUT

*2026-05-06*

i wish you could add a custom timeframe as to when scrobbles are automatically imported from the listening history😔because there are some random scrobbles from a day or two prior that duplicated and i cant check exactly how much duplicates there are just from the app itself because the menu only showcases a minimal amount!

### 5/5 — Finally one that works!

*2026-05-04*

I had almost given up after trying multiple apps for scrobbling Apple Music that didn’t work at all. This one works fantastically!! The extra features unlocked with pro are quite nice at all and I’m happy to support an app that actually works.

### 5/5 — Solid app!

*2026-04-25*

No complaints so far. Does what it should. Upgraded to pro for a few extra features and unlike other apps it was a one time fee!

### 5/5 — It works!

*2026-04-18*

I would like to congratulate you for making a Scobbler that actually works.  I have been searching for one for quite some time and have tried most of them.  Well done.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2026-03-13*

I check back every once in awhile for ways to scrobble Apple Music to last.fm. This is fast simple and works well.

### 5/5 — The Best Next iOS Scrobbler is Here!

*2026-03-11*

A free Last.FM scrobbler that meets that of most people’s needs. Quite fast and responsive too.
