### 5/5 — this rocks

*2026-07-19, version 1.8.5*

this app not only has a great and thoughtful community of music enjoyers, but a very fun and aesthetically pleasing UI made by real artists and creatives. as a long time music nerd, I come here first to find music over other mainstream music publications. keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Tapehead! Yes!

*2026-07-17, version 1.8.4*

Lots of features that make the app a little different than just "letterboxd for albums." The developers are really intentional and thoughtful with their choices and really responsive to feedback. Great place to finally keep track of all my listening.

### 5/5 — Music lovers rejoice

*2026-07-17, version 1.8.3*

Such a fun app - love recommending songs to my pals and seeing what they’re listening to. Beautifully designed, a true pleasure to use

### 5/5 — Real music discovery

*2026-07-17, version 1.8.3*

Been using tapehead to discover new music and it’s so much better than relying on the Spotify algorithm that just gives you the same boring stuff. Scrolling tapehead feels a lot like listening to independent radio, just so much good stuff you would never discover otherwise!

### 5/5 — New music goofin

*2026-07-17, version 1.8.3*

Awesome app. Consistently gets better each update. The developer is responsive to feedback, and it seems like they genuinely want to create a great app.

### 5/5 — finally!!!!

*2026-07-17, version 1.8.3*

love this app and how easy it is to discover new music from my close friends and other new releases!!

### 5/5 — Whimsical. Brilliant. Fun.

*2026-07-17, version 1.8.3*

This app is ridiculously beautiful. It somehow makes reviewing music with friends the kinda thing you want to do, and is fun to do. 

I do wish it were more integrated with my other socials/routine, something like how strava does the loop thing or how bereal pings you everyday to take a photo.
