### 4/5 — Fix review glitch

*2026-06-22, version 5.1.0*

What the title says

### 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?

### 4/5 — Love the app - fix the review bug

*2026-05-25*

I love Finale - it is my go to scrobbling app but I don’t know if there’s a bug for anyone else or just me -
Multiple times a day it asks me to star and review the app like it doesn’t know who I am. Usually I don’t review my everyday apps, because well they work what feedback would me giving them do - I don’t review my toaster every time I go to make toast. Hopefully this review will stop the bug in the app but just something I noticed recently while doing my everyday scrobbles.

### 3/5 — great and awful at the same time

*2026-05-08*

When it works it’s nice, in fact it’s significantly better than the official last fm app — not only can you actually see all your stats and most of your profile information instead of it redirecting you to the website but you can also edit scrobbles for free even though that’s a regularly premium features and manually scrobble things without a third party, but it regularly breaks completely and isn’t fixable any way other than deleting and reinstalling the app. For example, after a very short period of time if I try to do literally anything other than look it my stats it will just tell me I need to log in again over and over even though I’m already logged in and nothing changes when I do it again, no matter whether I do it through the popup itself or log out and sign in again manually. Another is that sometimes even when it does let you do these things, whatever you changed (deleting, editing, scrobbling in general) will immediately revert back to what it was before when you refresh the app. There are even more issues than this, these are just the ones that bother me the most because they happen the most frequently and defeat half the purpose of the app. Redownloading the app does fix it, and even with these issues it’s still more usable than the actual last fm app, which is why this a 3 star review and not a 1 or 2, but the fix is extremely temporary and the bugs will return in under a week. I really hope this gets fixed or something because it’s really a waste of what would’ve been a great app.

### 4/5 — Awesome, but…

*2026-04-25, version 5.1.0*

This is a great app, but every time I scrobble now it tells me to review the app, can you fix this please?

### 3/5 — 👍

*2026-04-01, version 5.1.0*

pretty great

### 4/5 — Love the app, deletion feature stopped working

*2026-03-27, version 5.1.0*

Loving this app! The editing/deleting hasn't been working for a few days though, so hopefully that gets fixed. Couldn't find out how else to report that lol. Thank you for the great app!

### 3/5 — Audio doesn’t seem to work for headphones

*2026-03-21, version 5.1.0*

This is amazing for players that are not compatible with last.fm app, however, it works only if you have it on speakers, i have not yet found a way to scan the audio while i listen through headphones, which is a bummer

### 5/5 — Better than the official last.fm scrobbler

*2026-03-05, version 5.1.0*

If you have downloaded Apple Music albums like I do and the normal last.fm scrobbler doesn’t scan the albums properly, use Finale. It’s just better in every way and gives you features that you would have to pay for on the official last.fm scrobbler

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-02-19, version 5.1.0*

Fantastic App, Great Functionality and reliable.  Buy this and you won’t be disappointed.

### 5/5 — One of my favourite apps

*2025-12-09, version 5.0.0*

I’m a stats nerd. The official Last.fm app has nothing on this. Finale gives me almost everything I want to see in a clean & simple interface. I love it.

### 3/5 — Good with one problem

*2025-12-06, version 5.0.0*

This is about as good as scrobblers seem to get with Apple Music, but I do have one problem that stops me from recommending (unless I completely have this wrong, in which case I’d update this review). It seems like whenever I batch upload my Apple scrobbles, it ignores my Last.fm Pro automatic corrections. I like my library to be neat so the idea that all the autocorrections I’ve made wouldn’t work anymore is really discouraging. It also seems like there’s no similar feature in the app, which is also disappointing.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t automatically scrobble

*2025-10-29, version 5.0.0*

Interface isn’t too bad but this offers nothing that the default app doesn’t already for scrobbling

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2025-10-28, version 5.0.0*

I've used a succession of scrobbling apps for iOS, all of which became unmaintained or broke.  Finale is not one of them: it works, gets updates, and clearly is written by someone who cares.

So, thanks.

### 3/5 — Scrobbling has stopped working across all my devices

*2025-10-24*

As of this week, scrobbling throws an error across all my devices. Not sure if this is just an issue I’m having or if other users are affected as well. Just wanted to make it known in case the developer needs to work on a patch.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

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

*2026-07-16, version 5.1.0*

Stop asking me to rate this app

### 1/5 — These reviews are FALSE, DOES NOT GET ANY SONGS FROM YOUR DEVICE

*2026-05-23, version 5.1.0*

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS APP

### 1/5 — Broken App

*2026-03-08, version 5.1.0*

Trying to scrobble from Apple Music causes the app to crash every time. I just deleted it and downloaded one that actually works.

### 1/5 — DOESNT SHOW SCROBBLES

*2026-02-24, version 5.1.0*

i tried everything but it just doesn’t want to count… its works for an hour sometimes, but usually doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Need for force quit app for it to work properly

*2025-09-17, version 4.0.0*

For some reason, this app misses almost every other track I listen to in Apple Music. The only way for it to recognize each track to scrobble and not miss several is to force quit the app each time and re-open it.

### 1/5 — boooo

*2025-04-21, version 4.0.0*

why can’t u just use whatever airbuds used for scrobbling, airbuds can track literally everything on every platform meanwhile this app won’t even let me upload my apple music scrobbles (which doesn’t account for repeats/anything i haven’t manually added to library).

### 1/5 — Can’t scrobble

*2025-03-24, version 4.0.0*

As of Feb 17 I can no longer scrobble from Apple music (owned music, not streamed). It just says “an error occurred” with no further info. App is updated to the most recent version.

### 1/5 — rarely works

*2025-03-04, version 4.0.0*

scrobble button is useless most of the time. does nothing.

### 1/5 — Non Functioning

*2024-12-03, version 3.5.0*

Doesn’t scrobble from Apple Music, even manually. Useless app.

### 5/5 — awesome sauce

*2026-07-19, version 5.1.0*

Awesome sauce

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-05-15, version 5.1.0*

Works very well

### 5/5 — Best Scrobbling App Out there

*2026-04-28, version 5.1.0*

Any bugs are greatly made up for by how robust the features are

### 5/5 — The best Scrobbler for IOS

*2026-03-22*

This is easily the best Scrobbler for IOS and it’s not even close. It’s the only one that’s actually dependable and does what it’s supposed to. Great app for a music nerd that loves to track listening stats. Thanks developer 👍

### 5/5 — The best client app for last.fm

*2026-03-20, version 5.1.0*

I love just how many features are on this app. Far better than the stock Last.fm app in my opinion.
