I like the ability to see what tunes were playing at a later time (although I never used the app regularly). Now superceded by standard functionality in Android 11 on my Pixel, this app no longer works.
Works well, good design, good features. But there are problems with duplicate scrobbles. Wish the app would check if a track is already being scrobbled, to avoid this.
The app seems to have been abandoned. Absolutely useless. It doesn't register songs and crashes constantly.
It stopped working in September 2020. It doesn't recognize and track songs anymore, so it's useless.
No longer working on Android 11. Great app. Would it be possible to blacklist some songs from being listed? Kids have some songs on repeat...
Was great, but doesn't work since updating to 11. Pixel 4a
Great app. I've used it since I got my Pixel 4. Very helpful for scrobbling to Last.fm
Such a great and simple app.
Not show music / pixel 3xl android 11
Stellar app, works perfectly as it should.
love it, simply perfect
App isn't really compatible with Pie, it has consistently crashed ever since Pie betas, and I'm sending the crash feedback between 5 and 10 times A DAY. App hasn't been updated since april. Feels abandoned. Other than the constant, annoying crashes, it does work and looks good. Would rate it between 4-5 if the bugs was resolved.
The app is great overall but there are some issues that still haven't been fixed and the last update is almost a year old: 1. The app sometimes crashes on Android Pie - from what I can tell when there is no internet connection and it tries to back stuff up. 2. Numerous duplicates get created every day and there is no functionality to prevent this from happening... 3. No blacklisting of song, for example themes playing very often in games and other media that clutter the feed. Please fix this! :P
I really like the app however unfortunately it says it's backed up your history but when you get a new phone it fails to restore that data to the new phone
Lately I've been getting notices that this app is crashing in the background on my Pixel 2 XL. Is this still under development?
Never thought how useful this app would be! Love the simplicity and executes on what it indends to accomplish perfectly. Kudos to the dev as I rarely, if ever, write reviews. A must have for Pixel 2 users!
The absolute best app for now playing features, love that I can now scrobble my now playing with this too.
Doesn't work with android 11 unfortunately. Was great once upon a time!
Easy to use, lots if features unlocked for a low cost, useful almost every day. :)
Great app that works as it should. Love the backup options and the dark theme. Plus the auto scrobble to Last.fm is genius. Great work!
One of the best implementations of material design, feels right at home!
Love it, very useful to keep track of new songs!
Would've been perfect but the google history restore doesnt seem to be working
If you have a Pixel 2, this is so so good.
The level of UI personalization is over 9000
History restore not working after upgrade to Android P.
Great! Thanks!
It serves its purpose
I've paid but I still don't have the full version!
I want to love this app but it appears to be abandoned and it crashes daily when trying to sync with Google drive. The only way to stop that is to clear the app storage (there's no log out option), and doing so makes you lose your history. There's no way to import an exported history. Were it not for these issues I'd give it 5 stars.
