### 1/5 — Not Working

*2024-10-17*

I was very excited to use this app, however, it can't find any importable artists from my library nor will it locate any that I search.

**Developer response:** Hi, I’m very sorry about that. There was an issue on the backend side of the app. It should work now. 
Could you please try again and see if it works for you?
Best wishes,
Julian

### 2/5 — Works sometimes

*2023-06-30*

Great when it works, but doesn’t load half the time

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the feedback! Could you please let me know what didn‘t work for you so that we can look into it and fix it? There was an issue in fetching music a few weeks ago, but it should be fixed now.

### 3/5 — Grate app

*2023-07-08*

This is a awesome app to get, but if you don't want to spend money this is not the app for you. it only allows you to put 15 artists before you need to pay. :(

### 4/5 — Subscription to add more than 15 artists

*2023-03-31*

Not a bad app but you can only add 15 artists until you hit a subscription paywall. I’d consider paying a one off amount to unlock it but a subscription is a bit much

### 5/5 — Amazing 🔥

*2026-04-28*

I was thinking… is there and app that notifies you when your selected artists drop fire music??? And there it was!! This app is great if you use iTunes because it gives you a short clip of the song that your fav musicians songs. And then you can jump right to that song if you have Apple Music. HIGHLY recommend. :)

### 5/5 — This is a MUST!

*2022-10-23*

i’m not even playing, u need this especially if u have apple music because apple music is horrible about notifying of new releases

### 5/5 — Liking it so far but why only 50 artists?

*2020-06-06*

Liking the app so far. Discovered lots of music by bands I follow that I hadn’t known had come out in the last year or so. Decided to do a year’s subscription to test full features and support developer. But why only 50 artists?

**Developer response:** Hello!
Thank you very much for your subscription and for your feedback! I agree, 50 artists are often not enough. Therefore I'm going to increase the limit to a 100. :-)  I just had to specify some limit to guarantee to not overload the server-side (new music alert) in the beginning since this app is very new and I wasn't sure about any traffic limitations. However, after testing this is far away from any issues.  
Enjoy your new music discoveries and please don't hesitate to send me a message if you have other feedback or improvement suggestions. (contact: julian.janisch96@gmail.com)

### 5/5 — Good idea

*2020-05-17*

I saw this on Reddit, and I like the concept because I always somehow miss when a artist puts out an album. I would hold off on the subscription though since this is a new app. I’d recommend making it free or giving more then 5 subs until you get a bigger platform.
