A good concept, however…
I’d love it if you could rethink this and work it into capturing your streamed sessions and uploading that automatically. Adding the ability to manually add albums from vinyl or CD to incorporate those who listen to physical media would be such a good touch. But for now, given I primarily stream my music, especially when I’m commuting, I’m afraid I don’t have the time to commit to logging every single time I listen to music.
So much potential with this app, so please consider this review as constructive criticism!

Thank you for taking the time to write such thoughtful feedback. This is exactly the kind of review that helps us improve. We hear you on automatic logging from streaming. Logging every listen by hand isn't for everyone, but it's at the heart of what Listend is about: bringing back intentional album listening and giving you a place to share your opinions on music. On physical media, there's good news: Listend isn't linked to any streaming service, so you can already log any vinyl, CD or cassette listen just by searching for the album. Whatever format you listen on, it counts. We hope you'll give Listend another try as it grows!
Add more streaming services
Response from developer
Thanks so much for the kind words! Good news, you don't need Apple Music to use Listend at all. It isn't connected to any streaming service. You just search for any album and log it yourself, wherever you listened to it: Spotify, YouTube Music, vinyl, the radio, anywhere. From any album page you can also jump straight to it on Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music or Apple Music. We'd love for you to give it another go, and if anything still feels tied to Apple Music, let us know by visiting our website listend.uk so we can fix it!
Great app

Thank you! Flip a Record is one of our favourite features too, so it's great to hear it stands out. Keep flipping to build your streak, there are a few surprises as it grows, all the way up to Legendary Collector. Happy listening! 🎵
