Love it

Nice way to see what you are listening to!! Makes it fun

Great app

Fun to see trends

?????

This app promises a great deal of functionality. It does not appear to work as advertised. Repeated requests for support from the developer have gone unanswered.

Issue was specified in the email. App didn’t work as advertised. As a developer myself, you taking A MONTH to reply to a paid customer is unacceptable. Coming in to my review to attempt to discredit is despicable.

Hello, sorry for the delayed response. I responded to you email a few days ago. Which feature is not working as advertised btw? Appreciate if you can specify this in the email as well. Thank you!

I love it.

Super simple and easy to use. Smooth transition from Apple Music to Symphony. I will recommend to people I know!

Love this app

I have been using Symphony for over a year now, and I can’t go back. Great app for music tracking and last.fm support. This project is definitely a labor of love from the devs and I am all here for it.

Thank you so much! 🙏

Keine Kontaktaufnahme möglich, Problem mit Playlisten

Vorweg: Die im Appstore angegebene Kontaktadresse
Ist blockiert "550 relay not permitted".
Das Kontaktformular in der App behauptet: "Mail ist not configured". Es gibt also keine Möglichkeit, ein Problem zu melden, deswegen meine Frage auf diesem Wege:
Ich kann offenbar keine weiteren Songs mehr über Symphony zu Playlists hinzufügen, die in Apple Music erstellt wurden (siehe Screenshot).
Bei einer in Symphony erstellten Playlist funktioniert es problemlos.
Lässt sich dieses Problem beheben, oder gibt es eine Übergangslösung?
Ich nutze Symphony Pro

Response from developer

Hello, Sorry to hear you are having trouble reaching out. The contact address provided in the App Store is blocked ("550 relay not permitted"). This is not possible as App Store will not allow if it's not working. So there seems to be some issue with your network or phone. I can confirm that "Mail ist not configured" is an issue with your iPhone's mail app. Due to Apple's limitations. You can't modify playlists created by other apps like Apple Music. This has always been the case and not a recent limitation. Thank you!

Gute Marvis Pro Alternative

Die App hat echt Potential! Mit dem Cover Flow, Trivia und gewissen Customize Optionen, hat es durchaus Alleinstellungsmerkmale. Die Performance ist auch besser geworden, könnte aber noch einen Hauch smoother sein. Ich würde mir auch noch eine Grid Ansicht, Artwork Size und Font Style/Size Individuallisierungsmöglichkeiten wünschen. Wenn ich eine Playlist anpinne, wird auf der Startseite leider ein Grid Cover angezeigt und nicht das eigentliche Cover, das müsste noch behoben werden.

Performance Probleme

Update zu V 2.0.7; Die App kämpft leider immernoch mit Performance Problemen. Ich vermute dies hängt mit der Tatsache zusammen, das meine Bibliothek sehr groß und umfangreich ist. Musik lässt sich nur ab und zu abspielen. Oft reagiert die App gar nicht auf den Play Button. Das iPhone 16 Pro wird dann einfach nur noch heiß. Oft reagiert die App danach oder beim wechsel zwischen Playlisten gar nicht mehr und hängt sich komplett auf.

Response from developer

If 2.0.7 still doesn't fix your issues, it might be an issue with your phone. Can you try to delete the app and re-install it?

Great Design with lots of potential

Really great alternative to the usual Apple Music app. All of the basic features are here with many customizable features on top like themes and such. The app also seems to be in active development, so I hope what’s missing is coming in the next few months. For example sorting was added to playlists but I still miss sorting with ascending and descending playlist order. And you can’t add songs to playlists right now that were not created within the app. Give this app a chance 👍🏻

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed the. Sorting has the ascending and descending capability and now you can add to favorites from any playlist! :D

Beautiful

A great Apple Music client with lots of customisation and options to tailor its look and feel.

CarPlay support has been flawless so far.

Developer is friendly and quick to respond to feedback.

I have really high hopes for this app and it’s quickly become my daily driver for Music.

Thank you! 🙏

A worthy upgrade

I'm the classic "guy who never writes reviews" reviewer, dropping in to tell you that if you've found this app, you're probably dissatisfied with the experience the Apple Music app is giving you. If that's indeed the case, then you should give Symphony a shot. Short of listening to vinyl, this is about the best experience you're going to have listening with music. The stats are good, the interface makes sense, and there's just something about the interface that feels better than the standard music app. You're already here, and you've read this far, so cough up a few bucks and give it a shot.

The best

It's the best app if you use Apple Music!

Very useful app for lastfm

Only problem is lack of add to queue

Needs a lot of work

This app is nice don’t get me wrong great for when you wanna scrobble but the fact that I can’t add albums or even add full albums to a playlist is. VERY disappointing

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. We just released v 2.0 and we think you'll love it!

Easy for Spotify users switching to Apple

Decided to switch from Spotify to Apple after the price increase. The scrobbling integration is amazing as well as having a UI similar to Spotifys for easy navigation. I just wish the playlist importing from Spotify wasn’t locked behind payment

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the review!

it’s so clunky

everytime i click a song from my playlist like 30 seconds into the song its going to glitch and restart the song (or play a completely random one) and it does that every time, and when the song is finished sometimes the app glitches and won’t let me play another song and i have to exit and pick one again (and deal with that glitch i mentioned in the beginning again)

This issue should be resolved in the latest update. Can you retry?

Best Apple Music Scrobbler

literally been using this app so much and it is so nice and versatile. smooth ui and overall amazing app. i would definitely buy their subscription if they added more features. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DEVS!!!!!

Response from developer

Thanks a lot! 🙏 Really appreciate your review!

Performance is a concern

Somehow the app is more sluggish than Apple Music itself. Any interaction takes > 5s. Playing a song from “Collection” didn’t work for me, but playing from suggestions in “Home” did. I was trying to use it but this performance kills the entire experience. It also misrepresents the “Lossless” and “High Res Lossless” tags. After playing a song in high res lossless, when the next song was lossless, it still showed “High Res Lossless” in the player, which is misleading as the song isn’t even available in High Res Lossless! Might give it a try again after such issues are fixed.

Really good but 2 problems

It can keep track good but it becomes a problem when you play songs on repeat it’ll randomly stop scrobbling when the song repeats

Response from developer

Hello, this issue is fixed in version 1.3.2 (or higher). Please check. Appreciate if you could update the review as it helps a new app immensely!
