### 1/5 — No longer scrobbles, sadly

*2026-08-22*

I have no idea what's going on. Apparently it stopped scrobbling July 25th, and I listen to music every single day. I just now uninstalled, deleted everything, reinstalled it, and it still didn't update or do anything. So, I'm gonna have to drop this down to one star right now, though I've been using it for the last two years without fail, and absolutely adore it. I will update if I ever get it fixed. Maybe I'll try to email the devs if I remember.

iPhone 15.

### 5/5 — awesome sauce

*2026-07-19, version 5.1.0*

Awesome sauce

### 1/5 — Stop asking me to rate this app

*2026-07-16, version 5.1.0*

Stop asking me to rate this app

### 4/5 — Fix review glitch

*2026-06-22, version 5.1.0*

What the title says

### 5/5 — very efficient

*2026-06-20, version 5.1.0*

good replacement for website. doesnt slow my phone down or overheat it like the lastfm app.

### 5/5 — Pretty much perfect

*2026-06-17*

Once in a blue moon when I’m searching for a song to scrobble it has an error but otherwise, the best ui with the best features that works the best and the fastest with lastfm. The fact that I can look at profiles, set obsessions, loved songs, literally everything on the site just better is perfect.

### 4/5 — Just one request

*2026-06-17, version 5.1.0*

Would you be able to add a feature where if you edit the name of an artist for a scrobble, that you can apply it to all scrobbles on your account under the same name so that you don’t have to manually edit every scrobble?

### 5/5 — So awesome

*2026-06-13, version 5.1.0*

This is so awesome!!

### 5/5 — Stellar option for iOS since Apple BLOWS

*2026-06-07*

I've been meaning to leave a review for this app. Absolutely fantastic. Haven't had a single problem. Scrobbles amazingly, has lots of settings, and it's free. Like, thank you so much, Dev. As an extremely poor person, I appreciate that to no end.

### 5/5 — Manual scrobbler is a non-denominational godsend

*2026-05-28*

Works great at manually scrobbling/recognizing what’s playing from Pandora and Radiogarden. Would be really awesome if the continuous listening scrobbler could run in the background, like Shazam’s auto Shazam mode.
