It doesn’t go above and beyond adding unnecessary features. It just pings my phone when new music is available in neat succinct way. The UI very clean and no negatives **Developer response:** Hi Hazeus1, Thanks for your positive feedback! If you prefer a one-time payment over a subscription, you can get Unlimited Lifetime instead. Hope this helps! Cheers, David. ### 5/5 — Sehr aktuell, sehr hilfreich *2026-07-29* Jeden Cent wert👍🏻 ### 3/5 — Luft nach oben *2026-06-16* Beim importieren von AM hat die App einfach mal 500 Profile importiert. Wahrscheinlich werden hier alle Künstler aus der Mediathek importiert, nicht nur die Favoriten. Leider kann die App scheinbar die Menge nicht wirklich managen und es ruckelt alles ohne Ende… **Developer response:** Deine beschriebenen Probleme sollten mit dem Update 1.3.2 behoben sein. Sag gern Bescheid! Nur die Favoriten zu importieren ist von Apple nicht als Schnittstelle freigegeben. *** Moin und danke für dein Feedback! Korrekt, der Import greift alle Künstler ab. 500 sind zwar nicht wenig, die App muss das aber ab können, da bin ich ganz bei dir. In Kürze kommt ein Fix dafür! ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2026-06-14* Does exactly what it should, for a fair price - looking at you MusicHarbour. Clean UI, fast notifications without opening the app, song previews. Might even be a modern iTunes store client ### 5/5 — Mega *2026-05-07* Endlich mal so eine App, da findet man alles und kann diese titel gleich in die Playlist einspeichern 🙏👍 ### 5/5 — Nice ui *2026-05-06* Love the design, feels modern and clean! ### 5/5 — Mein „Way to Go“ um up-to-date zu bleiben *2026-05-05* Ich muss gestehen, bevor ich die App gesehen habe, war mir gar nicht bewusst, wie oft Apple Music mich nicht darüber informiert bzw. nicht rechtzeitig, wenn was neues erschienen ist. Dies ist mit dieser App endlich Geschichte. Einziges Manko: „Leider“ nur Apple Music Integration. Für mich als „ganze Sets von Festivals anhören“ via Soundcloud, fehlen leider noch Schnittstellen. Aber für Apple Music User absolut empfehlenswert! ## Frequently asked questions about MusicDrops ### How does MusicDrops notify me about new releases?
