## What is Turntable Club?

Turntable Club is a music club for friends who actually listen to albums.

Each member takes a turn picking an album for the club. Everyone listens at their own pace, rates the tracks, writes a short review, and when the period ends, the club's reactions reveal all at once. Then it rotates to the next picker.

No social-feed noise, no follower counts. Just a small group of friends taking the long way through music.

WHAT YOU GET

• Take turns picking — weekly or monthly cadence
• Rate the album and individual tracks (1–10 sliders) and share a written review when you're ready
• Reveal moment — everyone's ratings and reviews appear at the same time, after the period ends
• On-device AI summaries of how the club reacted (Apple Intelligence)
• Insights cards — track highlights, divisive picks, member milestones, year-end recaps
• Discover crates — Grammy Album of the Year winners and nominees, Best New Artist debuts, Billboard year-end Top 5 going back to the 1950s, plus themed lists (best-selling debuts, best-rated debuts, gone-too-soon, decade definers). Import any of them in one tap.
• Build crates from any artist's full discography in chronological order
• Per-club themes (set by the owner or suggested by any member)
• Auto-pick from your queue when your turn comes up

PRIVACY-FIRST

• Your data syncs through your iCloud account — there's no Turntable Club server
• AI summaries run on-device via Apple Intelligence
• No tracking, no ads, no analytics
• No separate account to create — your iCloud identity is your identity

REQUIRES

• iOS 17 or later
• An iCloud account for sync and sharing
• An Apple Music subscription for full-track playback (30-second previews work without one)
• Apple Intelligence on a supported device for AI summaries (optional — the app falls back gracefully)

Built for the kind of music conversation that doesn't fit in a comment thread. Make a club, invite a couple of friends, and start trading albums.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-05

NEW
• Skip a period — this week's album becomes next week's, and the
  rotation carries on.

CARPLAY
• Pausing or resuming no longer skips the song you're on.
• Pressing play on a song waiting for your rating moves to the next one.

  audio. New setting: keep playing after you disconnect.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-25

NEW: FIX A ROUND

Rounds don't always go to plan. Club settings now has a "Fix a round"
section for when they don't:

• Undo the last rollover — brings back the previous album with extra
  time to finish, as if you'd extended it before it rolled over.
• Move this round back — same album, moved onto the period it should
  have run in, so your History reads correctly.
• Reset to previous round — start the previous album over on a full
  fresh period.

Nobody's ratings are deleted. Shared ratings go back to private drafts
until members share again.
