What's New in SongCatcher

1.7

July 30, 2026

Sharper recognition, and more control over what you've caught. • Quiet rooms no longer produce phantom songs. SongCatcher now checks that something is actually playing before it spends a lookup, so radio chatter, audiobooks and comedy sets stop landing in your history as music. • That also means a silent room no longer eats into your daily lookup limit. • Weak matches are turned away rather than written down — and a strong match that came back second in the list is no longer discarded along with the first. • Hear a song twice in one session and it returns to the top of Caught with a ×2 badge, a brief flare so you can see why it moved, and a gentler tap than a fresh catch — instead of being quietly skipped. • Reduce Motion is respected: the row still lights up to show it moved, just without the movement. • The listening drawer now tells you what it's doing: which engine is working, and what the last few attempts turned up. • Places read as neighbourhood and city — "Ballard, Seattle". Songs you caught earlier are relabelled to match. • Remove an entire artist from Caught in one tap, or clear the whole library from Settings. Saved songs and the notes you wrote on them survive both.
