### 5/5 — DJ All In One Lösung!

*2026-05-09*

Endlich mal eine App, mit der man als DJ mit Direktanbindung an etliche Services Tracks „hound“en kann!! Geiles Teil und den Preis locker wert! 
Wer Shazam o.ä. nutzt hat die die Weiterentwicklung- auch als Nicht-DJ!

### 5/5 — Hält mehr als Sie verspricht

*2026-05-08*

Wow was für eine einfache und tolle Lösung für DJs endlich mal eine App wo man direkt Spaß mit hat und die einem vieles erleichtert. Top Empfehlung kann ich da nur sagen.

### 5/5 — Pflicht-App, nicht nur für DJs und Veranstalter

*2026-05-04*

Shazam kann einpacken! Das Ding ist für mich als DJ brutal gut gedacht. Beatport-Anbindung, Session-Konzept und übertrieben viele Exportmöglichkeiten (GEMA, Spotify-Playlist, m3u, etc...). 
Im Club: Handy mitlaufen lassen, Tracklist automatisch aufbauen und auf der Tanzfläche direkt Favoriten markieren. Man merkt sofort, dass hier jemand gebaut hat, der den echten DJ-Alltag versteht. 
TrackHound ist eine dieser Apps, bei denen man sich fragt, warum es das nicht schon längst genauso gab. Absolute Empfehlung!

Version 1.9.1

This update fixes a bug where the Home Screen widget and the Live Activity in the menu bar (macOS) continued to display the "Listening…" state even after the app was closed. Both displays now correctly clear as soon as the app is quit.

### 1.9 — 2026-05-17

NEW IN VERSION 1.9

TrackHound Is Now Free
Starting with Version 1.9, TrackHound is a free App Store download — try all core features risk-free with up to 10 sessions and 10 tracks per session. Track recognition and service search remain fully functional in the free tier.

Top 5 Share Card
Share your top tracks as a stylish card for Instagram Stories and social media. Either based on your most-recognized tracks or a custom selection from your favourites — with drag-and-drop reordering. Six themes (Midnight, Neon, Vinyl, Minimal, Sunrise, Glacier) and two formats (Portrait 9:16 and Square). Direct Instagram Stories button: image as background and hashtag text auto-copied to the clipboard. Plus auto-generated description with matching hashtags ready to paste — one tap, done.

Pick Your Visualization Style
Four distinct looks for the live waveform and BPM analysis: Liquid (flowing wave), Bars (classic audio bars), Radar (pulsing rings from the centre), and Equalizer (hopping spectrum bars). Both areas configurable independently in Settings, with animated live previews for every option.

More Lively BPM Display
The finished BPM analysis now pulses four times in sync with the measured beat before settling — with eight white beat markers flashing on each beat. During the 12-second capture, the wave progressively builds left-to-right behind a glowing scanner beam.

Also in this release
Live waveform reacts dynamically to audio level
Larger waveform display for better visual presence

### 1.8 — 2026-05-15

• Multiple widget sizes for every layout
• Tapping a track in the widget opens the track detail directly in the app

Live BPM Detection

• TrackHound now automatically measures the BPM of each recognized track directly from the audio while listening
• An animated waveform with the BPM value appears under the live display after each track recognition
• The measured BPM is automatically saved to the track
• Double-tap the BPM display to start a new analysis
• Can be enabled or disabled in Settings

Pitch Display

• Track details now show how much the DJ sped up or slowed down the track in percent — available when both catalog BPM and measured BPM are present

Better Session Organization

• New sorting by date (newest/oldest first) or name (A–Z, Z–A)
• Search across sessions and folders — right at the top of the list
• Works inside individual folders too

Improvements

• Existing imports can be retroactively corrected via "Refresh Track Data"

Bug Fixes

### 1.7 — 2026-05-11

Now on your wrist: TrackHound for Apple Watch

You're in the middle of the crowd and need to know what's playing? "Quick Check" on Apple Watch identifies the track in seconds — right from your wrist, no need to pull out your iPhone. And when you need full listening mode: start and stop iPhone recognition straight from the Watch.

Bring your Shazam collection along
Already identified hundreds of tracks with Shazam? Bring them into TrackHound! Import your entire Shazam library — directly from Apple Music or as a CSV from shazam.com. Every imported track is automatically enriched with cover art, ISRC, genre and release date.

Organize your sets: Session Folders
Finally, structure! Create folders to organize your sessions — by club, festival, or event. Move sessions into folders via the context menu (long press). And the best part: When you listen for a long time or import large Shazam collections, sessions are automatically split and grouped into a folder.

Also new
— Sessions are automatically split after 100 tracks — seamlessly, without interruption
— Shazam imports are automatically split into multiple sessions after 200 tracks
— Notifications now show both title and artist
— User-friendly error messages for audio issues
— Help links and "More Apps by Pondstack" in Settings

### 1.6 — 2026-05-04

New in Version 1.6:

Merge Sessions
You can now combine two sessions into one. Open a session, tap "Merge Sessions" and pick the other session — all tracks are combined.

Improved Playlist Export
Tidal export now works reliably. Spotify, Tidal and Deezer automatically search for tracks at export time — even titles recognized before the service was connected will end up in the playlist.

Accurate Session Duration
When you pause a session and resume later, pause time is no longer counted. The displayed duration and all timestamps reflect only active listening time.

Also Improved
- Rename sessions with a single tap (instead of double-tap)
- Pull down in the comparison view to reset
- Track names in the overview now display fully (2 lines)
