### 3/5 — Features

*2026-08-15, version 5.3.6*

This app is great, I’ve had it for some time now.

Just two quick things I want to say:

Bring back ALL of the app icons we paid for.

And if possible, bring colored accents to the UI and that sort.

### 1/5 — Lies

*2026-07-21, version 5.3.2*

Despite the response to a previous review there is no option to follow twenty artists to try out the app without paying a subscription.

### 5/5 — Fantastic stuff!

*2026-07-03, version 5.2.9*

I installed MusicHarbor yesterday and it has already proven itself to be way more useful than I had anticipated! My only complaint is the app only seems to show new releases for artists that are already in your collection. It would be great if it tapped into the Apple Music “New Releases For You” feature as well.

### 5/5 — Fantastic New Music Tracker

*2026-06-17, version 5.2.7*

Simply the best and cleanest way to fight the algorithms cluttering modern streaming apps. I have used this app without issue for years and regularly recommend it to friends. It is a great way to track the artists you care about that is thoughtfully designed and maintained by a responsive developer.

### 2/5 — Good app - Don’t get premium though

*2026-06-17, version 5.2.7*

This app is good so I upgraded to premium so that I could follow more artists. It let me follow more initially but now it does not save the data when I follow a new artist so whenever I fully close the app the artist is no longer followed. Emailed about this and have not heard back. Very frustrating as I paid for the year subscription…

### 5/5 — Removing the distraction

*2026-06-10, version 5.2.6*

It would be hard to overstate how good all the Loop Apps are (MusicHarbor, MusicBox, and MusicSmart). I would really like to see a single app combining the features of all three though.

The main benefit here is the straightfoward presentation. Most of this info is available in streaming services, but it's crowded out by AI generated garbage and other "features".

### 5/5 — Well designed and a breeze to use

*2026-06-02*

Beautiful app, does exactly whats expected

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!

### 1/5 — Very aggressive paywall

*2026-05-18, version 5.2.5*

It’s hard to even try the app without paying first. Importing artists from a streaming service requires payment but that’s not clear until you grant access. Too much friction and seems too expensive until I’ve without being able to fully try it.

edit: I’ve manually added some bands to follow and see that there is a paywall to see their news too. I heard that there are limits to the amount of artists you can follow until you upgrade as well. Offering a free trial might be a good option so we can test the value of the service before continuously being upsold.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2026-05-15, version 5.2.5*

Nice integration with Spotify is fine for tracking releases

### 5/5 — Cada vez melhor

*2026-05-11*

Sem dúvida o melhor app para acompanhar novos lançamentos, e a cada atualização fica ainda melhor!

**Developer response:** Obrigado pelo feedback! Fico feliz que você esteja curtindo o app.
